We all believe our faith will get us to heaven but The Bible says that many will be cast down even having performed miracles and casting out demons in the name of Jesus so maybe you missed the point and your faith wasn't enough. So...suppose the rapture comes and you are still here...you know the bible and this is your wake up call. you refuse to accept the mark of the beast because you know it will damn your soul to hell. according to the Antichrist now in control you cannot buy or sell with out the mark. people are hunting you... police have your name on a list.... I could write a book about this call it "Still here"

Halve of this is my fault---the other half is the seller's fault.
Shopping for a particular pair of Skecher sandals and bought a new pair at low bid (only bidder) for $35.00 with free shipping.
Now, sandals arrive---not the same as the ones pictured in the ad---open toe was pictured---closed toe was received which I don't care for. (preposition, I know)
Seller's description (which I'll admit I didn't totally read) stated "closed toe".
I bought them primarily by the picture because it was exactly the style I wanted.

So, tonight, my wife and I were checking out at the grocery store. There was a lady in front of us checking out. I was standing directly behind her.
She tried to pay for her groceries using 2 different credit/debit cards. Neither one was accepted. They tried multiple times.
She finally told the cashier to try to put $70 on one of the cards, and that amount was accepted. That left her $14 and some odd cents to pay, and neither one of her cards would be accepted. When she checked her check book, she was fresh out of checks.
What would you do?
I stepped up, and said, "Ma'am, let me do something for you..." and I swiped my card and paid for her $14 worth of groceries.
I told her to pay it forward. I left with a smile on my face. It felt good to help.0 -

the lost full auto thread got me thinking. you hear stories every now and then about someone redoing a house and finding something in the walls, or attic, or they go to tear down a fence and find something cached by one of the posts.
if you were the lucky one to find say a cache of weapons, or a single weapon, would you try to turn it in, knowing in the back of your mind that it could have come from anywhere? keep in mind your find could be the key to an unsolved murder or anything. do you find the authorities or does your collection grow and your mouth stay shut?
my theory is finders keepers. i think if i was on that road crew, we would have some serious talkin about how we were going to split up our find.
maybe thats why it got turned in, they couldnt agree to who gets what.0 -
My dad is 73 and in good health but every time i see him he is trying to give me some of his guns. About half of them are mine from when i was a kid. I got 3 a year from 6 untill i was 18. I left my guns and other things at his house when i went in the Air Force. I dont feel comfortable taking things from him even though some of the things are mine. He says take them that i will get them when he dies anyway. I already have all of the guns i need. What would you do? Thanks David 0 -

My closest nieghbor has a grown boy. About 24 yrs old.
Called me at my shop said he needed to see me about something.
When he showed up he had his deer rifle with him.
He said he has done something stupid and needed 100.00 bucks.
Take the rifle and dont tell dad PLEASE!! He said.
Now...the boy ain't into drugs or booze...I know him and the family very well. I gave him 125.00 for the rifle. I know he has been looking for a job hard and doing side work for everybody in town.
Reckon I should have a talk with his Pa? He has had that rifle for as long as I have known him. Just can't figure what the young man has gotten himself into. When I asked him, how stupid a thing, he just looked at his feet and said REAL stupid. Real good folk..church going.

Last February we noticed that the neighbor's adult son had moved back in with them. The dad said the son was "between jobs." We just found out that the guy had been busted in Houston for soliciting a minor for sex. The problem is that the victim is the same age as my oldest son. I realize that the odds of this guy re-offending so soon after being busted are slim, but I can't help but feel a little uneasy about it. 0 -

Last month I won an auction for a used H&K USP Compact in 9mm. Shortly after receiving the firearm I was displeased to discover the entire firing pin assembly was missing. There was no mention of this in the item description.
I immediately contacted the seller through email about the problem. I asked the seller if he was aware of this problem. The seller responded shortly with "??????". I have since attempted to contact the seller again but every email I have sent has been ignored.
I can't understand why I am being ignored. This seller has exceptional feedback. Before I left my negative feedback there was only one other negative feedback for this seller. The negative feedback the seller had already, seemed to be a misunderstanding where the buyer received the wrong firearm. The seller responded to this feedback explaining that he had since resolved the problem by sending the buyer the correct firearm.
I have tried the "resolving problems with a seller" page, and it sent me on a wild goose chase without any results.
Is there anything that can be done or am i stuck with a non working firearm?
Thank you for your time. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.0 -

A little background.
Several years ago the rancher next to our place had a dog "that just showed up" and adopted his herd of cows. It runs with his herd and is not fed by anyone, however the rancher says he occasionally sets some dry dog food out when the herd is grazing close to his house. If a coyote or any critter like that comes around he raises Holy Hell, barking like mad. I saw coyotes around the herd one time when this happened.
The dog always had a collar, but no one could get close enough to check it out. It's always been a real curiosity. When cows have come by our camp (rancher leases our land for grazing) I have thrown a hotdog to the dog and he will come up within about 20 feet grab it and run off to eat it.
Rancher is an ok guy that helps keep an eye on things on our place. (we are 4 hours away)
We have no grievance with him. He is very happy to have a "stock dog".
While checking fences this past week, I stumbled onto a dog collar with rabies vac attached. Name of vet with phone number. Last tag was 2004. Which is about the time the dog showed up. (vet is about 30 miles from here.) There are no dogs around here so am pretty sure what dog it came from.
Question?
1. Let vet know so he can contact owner and get dog back after 5 years?
2. Let rancher keep dog employed as a stock dog? (dog seems to like it)
3. Throw tags away and not "get involved?"
I'll let you know how this works out.0 -
So, as a new pistol owner (well later today i will be) i was thinking about what i am getting myself into lol, and ran a scenario through my head.
Bear with me here, i am new to this..
Let's say i am in an unfamiliar area, and (god forbid)am assaulted, and am forced to use deadly force. Then let's say a crowd hears the shot(s), and comes outside to see what's going on. I would not feel comfortable hanging around. What if they guy's brother comes out? What about friends, family. No matter if i was justified or not, they are not gonna be happy with me, that's for sure.
Could i flee the area, call the cops, and give them my cell number, with instructions to call me when they arrive? Then i could come back.
What would you do? I'd be especially interested in hearing from a police officer on if they think this would be a wise way to handle the situation.
Thanks for any thoughts.0 -
I was talking to one of the branch managers of the company I work for
the other day, (we work in different states) we frequently chat about
our firearms, he asked me if santa brought me the OU I was talking about
I told him no, I would have to go shopping for one, but now I am leaning
toward a semi auto (a cheap one) Well out of the clear blue he
offers to give me his New Remington 11-87! I told him I would buy it, he
said no he would rather give it to someone who would use it! (and I
will!) I am still kind of in shock [:D]! The gun is on its way to me now
and I have been thinking of sending him a thank you gift of some kind
anybody have any suggestions?[?]
TIA

I have a nephew by marriage. He is 24 and not very bright. All his life his mom has been an enabler. Any time he gets into trould she bails him out. He was kicked out of the Army, lost a great job with Coca Cola, knocked up a chick and other dumb moves in the last few years.
He moves in as a roommate of a girl he barely knows on Sat. Wednesday night her ex boyfriend breaks in and starts to beat her--and tells him to stay out of it or he will kill him. What does my nephew do? Nothing!! The punk then steals the girls car. My nephew couldn't get ahold of mommy at 2:30am so he calls my wife saying theres an emergency and can he come over. She says ok. When he gets here I learn more and ask why didn't he protect the girl and her kid..at the least he could have called the cops. He just shruggs and says he will have to move. I go to bed and tell the wife if he is here when I get home from work tomorrow we are going to have an issue.
She calls her sister(his mom) to let her know what happened. She also told her we would not let him stay here as we dont want his drama. He didnt even know if the punk had followed him to my house[:(!] So now my sister in law is pissed at me because I won't let him stay. So sad too damn bad I say. Im not going to enable his poor choices. The cops did catch the guy and his bail was set at $100K for 4 felony charges.
Thank goodness the rest of my nephews are decent, upstanding adults and not wannabe thugs0 -
My mom, step dad and two of my cousins, Shannon and Traci, and I went for a crotch rocket ride in the Smokies mountains. We were followed by my boyfriend and the rest of my family in a Surburban.
I was riding one my mom lend to me. I'm a decent, not great, but decent rider, but since I was on a strange road and on a bike I didn't know I was very careful. My mom, step dad and cousins on the other had were trying to out do one another. They were getting very crazy. My boyfriend sees this and decides I can't get a bike cause he thinks I'll get hurt. Since I'm being careful on my bike, he thinks I'm not a skilled rider. It didn't help when my mom tells him she averages one to two wrecks a year. Then Shannon jumps in with her crash stories.
Truth is I would never ride like my mom or cousins. They are just plain crazy. I do hate the way my mom rides and I do get afraid she's going to get hurt, but it's in her blood. She gets a new bike every two years or so. When she trades them in it's nothing for her to have 70K plus miles on one.
So what would you do? Would you go against him and get a bike anyway? I'm thinking I will, but could this be a bad idea. If I get one I'm getting a 1300, not a wussie 600 I was riding that day. I'm thinking if I get one I'm going to keep it at my dad's and hide it from him.0 -
Has anyone in here ever been invited somewhere, and then be unvited by someone else that would be attending the same place?

Here is the scoop. We have a little girl in town here. (Town of 1000 people.) She is 7 years old. I have no idea what her parents are doing, but she is running the streets all hours of the day and night. She get into trouble, she will steal my daughters bike and ride it around town. She is in the same class as my daughter. So the info I get from my daughter is that her grandma is supposed to be watching her. I have talked with the local PD and they have had a talk with her mom more than once. I know they are doing thier job, but apparently it's not getting through to her mom. I want to go further with this, but not sure I should. I am afraid that her mother may be a little abusive and might hurt her physically. I do not want to have that happen. I have thought of contacting Child Protective Services, but hate to see dis-located children also. I have a neighbor that thinks I may be a little to strong felt on this issue, and that it's not my problem. What do you all think.
Sorry my info may be hard to fallow. I am typing and a little pissed right now about all this.0 -
Went to pickup some venison summer sausage today at the local smokehouse.
I walked in told the gal my name and after a minute she said sir the total will be $103.01. I gave her 2 $50 bills and a $5 bill, $105 total. She put all 3 bills under the register drawer. I didn't pay much attention cause I was starving and that place always smells great!!
Anyway I noticed she was counting out quite a bit of $$$ for my change. I immediately thought she must have thought I gave her 3 $50 bills. So I told her mam I think your giving me too much change. So she looked under the drawer and saw that I gave her 2 $50s and 1 $5.
She looked embarassed then recalculated my change at $1.99, so I gave her a penny and she gave me $2.
Went home with a smile on my face cause my summer sausage was done 5 days before they said it would be when I dropped it off last thursday.[:p]0 -

Got a credit card bill in the mail today for a set of wheels. Looked it over real close, not my car, VIN, tag number not my truck. Tag and VIN goes to a vehicle of someone I know.
What to do?
Go to his house and get my wheels?
Go to the magistrate and sic the cops on his sorry behind?
Deny the charge on the card and let the credit card folks go after him?
Not sure how he got my CC number and don't believe this is an honest mistake.
He can pretty much take me off his list of folks to call for bail money.0 -
I had to got to work this morning to do some paper work. I get home around 11:30 and my dog is trying to tell me something. he is not barking, but he keeps running back and forth to the bedroom. I am thinking to my self you must want out on the back porch real bad.
So I go back there and open up the blinds to the sliding glass door.
OH $#!+ what the? The neighbor kid (16-17) is passed out on my back porch,
and puke ever where.
After I got him awake, & this kid is drunk real bad (he only missed his house buy about 30 feet) I got him a little cleaned up and walked staggerd him home. His mom was not there at the time.
I wish not to let it go, he was smart enough not to drive his car.
But I think the parents should know about it. I have not said anything yet. I think if it was my kid I would like to know pronto!

My friend Jody works at a nursing home. Sometimes I go and hang out with her there.
There's a resident there that always ask me for a smoke. He's not allowed to have them and I don't smoke so he's been out of luck.
I recently found out he has very little visitors, but's he's the sweetest old man I think I've met, next to my granpa.
Well I've started buying and sneaking him cigarettes when I visit. These nursing home residents are just standing around waiting to die anyway, so why not make his last few days a good one?
Am I wrong here? Honestly.0 -

Guy wins an auction of mine and then changes his mind after he talks to a buddy. Wants to change to a different item if I have it. I checked and I honestly did not. He then sends another e-mail, asking to change his item won in for another one I have for sale. I make him an offer on that "swap". No-go for him, now he wants me to, his words, "cancel my auction because GB has cancelled his acct. anyway."!![:0][:0]
Yeah its a NR bidder.

I have type 4 cancer. They removed 90% of my tongue and replaced it with part of my thigh so now my tongue is huge. They also removed cancer from my lyphnodes in my neck. I am doing ok now. I can not eat or drink and i am on a feeding tube. I am scheduled for surgery in April to reduce my tongue size because it is huge.
The doctors told me that i can eat or drink now but i just can not swallow. I cant get anything past my tongue and i am scared of choking. My wife is giving me a hard time because she wants me back to my old self. I am tired of milk through my feeding tube. I just can not get motivated to eat or drink. I have to start soon just not sure how. Any ideas? David0 -
1st of all, the areospace job didn't happen. It may have been one of the best interviews of my life, but my lack of recent CMM (coordinated measuring machine)experience kept it from happening.
So I let a friend who is a manager at WalMart pull a favor and get me a seasonal job in one of the stores near me (not his store). It's a job and all work is noble. but, the pay stinks. From what they are telling me though, there could be some future advancment there for me. And they could be blowing smoke up my butt too. I went through orientation thursday start my regular work there on monday morning.
advantages: 7 miles from home mostly country roads, 15 minute commute.
Yesterday I was out for the day. One of my former employers competitors left 2 messages on my machine. The guy even left his home phone number for me to call him. Now I left my former employer in part due health concerns over cleaning chemicals (trichlorethelene) they were using. They possibly were a factor in my sudden develpment of moderatly severe asthma. Since leaving my old shop I've been in several other shops with no breathing problems. I've only been in one that gave me trouble while I was there. If I return to my old shop to visit, my breathing becomes difficult within 15 minutes and lasts for a day even though I've left the place. I've also managed to get off 2 of the 3 medications I was taking while working in the shop.
advantage: $12.00-$15.00 an hour to start + a decent benefit package, A fixed schedule for work hours.
disadvantages: 30 mile heavy traffic commute lasting 40-60 minutes each way. Possible return of health problems. The guy leaving his home number makes me suspicious that he's desparate, and I wonder why, especially in this economy, decent inspectors are a dime a dozen.
I'm feeling the temptation to take the lazy mans route and go back to being a QC inspector. Unfortunately that could possibly jeapordize the friendship of the guy that called a favor to get me the job. I've managed to keep myself going for 4 months. I've been tardy with a couple bills, but haven't missed any. I'd keep doing that if I stay with Wally world. The commute to and from the machine shop would take away much of the time I have to pursue that endevor. There is also the health factor in the back of my mind. I could go back into the machine shop and have insurance, but the job itself would be the cause of most of the need for insurance. I can get some illness insurance from walmart for $15.00 evey 2 weeks.
My fiance' Bev's oppinion is I should stick with what I have and build up the online antique business and keep doing odd jobs. Using the summer of work at WalMart as an opportunity to pour money into the business. Getting it built up to where it could support us by itself.
What would you do???

Posted on another forum (motorcycle).
I just cut and pasted.
Say somebody wearing a full face helmet comes up to you after you have just put the keys in the ignition, pulls out a handgun and asks you to dismount and back away and after you have done so, starts the bike and rides away.
If you are also carrying a handgun, can you legally shoot the thief in the back and kill him, without being prosecuted by the police.
I know every state has different laws, so this is directed to people who live in one where it is permitted to carry a handgun on ones person.0
