    Has anyone in here ever been invited somewhere, and then be unvited by someone else that would be attending the same place?
    Sad to say, but this happened to me. I ended up not going because I do not like conflict.




    Life is too short. You only live once, why not have fun living it.

    Or for most.. what would you want your wife to do?

    Female driving on road next to projects. (work reasons)
    Sees a man standing on the side of the road.. nothing really out of place.. car comming towards her with guy hanging out the passenger window. She wonders why he is hanging out the window and watches as she passes. Continues to watch in the rear view and sees guy in car pull out baseball bat and whack the crap out of guy on the side of the road. No protection in car does she...
    1. turn around and go back to help
    2. call 911 and possibly have to testify
    3. do anonymous tip to local police dept.

    This is the worst drug area in this particular city/county.

    First off before anybody gets the wrong impression WE PASSED THIS UP!

    Here in PA we had an early deer season overlap with small game. me and the boy hung up the big guns and decided to go chase squirrel for the rest of the afternoon, deer just wasnt moving. While we are sneaking around the woods teaching the boy the art of stalking squirrels (this is really fun[:D]) we jumped a big fat doe at close to 30 yards, she got up and just stood there looking at us. Now here we stand with doe tags, early doe season is on but we have .22s, not legal for shooting deer. Now I have done this 100 times on the farms out to 100 yards, further with a .22 mag and I feel as confident shooting a deer in the head with a .22 as Aglore shooting one with a .338[:D]. The boy wispered to me about what to do, I stood there with my brain going 100MPH, gun slowly coming up but changed my mind, made a snorting sound and scared her off.

    I coulda shot her, I coulda let the boy shoot her but didn't. I wanted his first deer to be done right and i didnt want him to see me breaking the law although he knows all about the culling I have done on farms and has been there for a couple trips but this is different. This is a true hunting trip, not a "shoot all you can" with a spotlight and a .22.

    The boy was a little disapointed in seeing her walk away, I was a little upset since we have been hunting all day for a deer and just when we give up this happens. I explained to him that it just wouldnt be right and besides, he wants to shoot one with that dang 30-30.

    Should we have nailed her or was I right in letting it walk off?

    I know what I will do, but I am curious as to what everyone else would do.

    Supposed you found a 9 year old home that you liked and made an offer that was accepted. Then suppose another house came on the market that was 10% cheaper, BRAND new (a previous deal fell through), same builder as the one you are buying too and in a neighborhood that you liked better for a VERY comparable house.

    Ok now suppose there is a contract technically that you could use to legally get out of the original contract with no (financial) liability.

    What would you do?

    I am high bidder on a Chevy truck going off on Fleabay today. Seller advertised it as a 5.7 ( 350 cube )Vortec engine. Vin number says it is a 7.4 ( 454 cube ). Just got off the phone and told the guy I did not want the truck since the vin says it is suppose to have a 7.4 in it. I don't want the gas hog 7.4.. He says I am required to purchase it. I think the engine has been changed out..

    Ok I'm in this pawn shop looking at guitars, like I need another one, when I notice the pawn shop guy fiddling with a single action .22 revolver. He's trying to get the cylinder out of it but it won't budge. I asked if I could take a look and he says, "sure", and hands it to me. I look at it and the firing pin is protruding so far that the cylinder is hanging on it. The pawn shop guy says he's not interested as the revolver is obviously broken. I asked the lady does she want to sell it. She says yes but the pawn shop guy says take it outside, she can't sell it in here. I wait around because she has two cheap survival knives that pawn shop guy is looking at but he's not interested. Anyway, the lady and her mom meet me in the parking lot. She wants $100 for the revolver. I tell her under the circumstances I'd give her $40 for it and take my chances. She wants $50 and says she'll throw in one of the knives. Nope, $40 take it or leave it. She takes the $40 and once I get home I get it all apart and the spring is missing off the part that rotates the cylinder. The hand I think it's called. One of those deals where you point it at the floor and it rotates the cylinder and locks up fine. So I get on the net and find the piece I need, $25 and some change including shipping. Still only in the gun about $65 or so but I think I did okay. Oh and no it wasn't a Colt, just an FIE but still a solid little revolver. So would you buy a gun with obvious problems if you got a deal on it? Oh and it came with a leather holster that looks like it fits a 1911 type handgun. I'm thinking the holster may be worth $40 by itself. Just wondering.

    Something utterly frivolous, of which wifey does not approve.

    Like maybe make fudge and eat it all.

    Don't know of a wife on earth that would approve.

    I believe I would stay here, in my basement sleep room so I can sleep in complete darkness. I cant sleep well at all in bright light. I would stay down here go back to sleep![|)]

    Whelp, I went to the beer store and sniffed around a lot. Bought a 3 gallon port wine kit that I might make tomorrow. I made 2 batches of beer, drank some beer, ate at McDonalds, surfed the web a bit. Boy, 5 hours goes by fast!
