    The I'm-too-good-for-this-job Attitude

    I like how some people say I'm not going there, and then say it anyway, essentially in order to inflame and challenge that no one respond to their flame. Classic tactic. Some people don't fall for that crap. Oh now you can get back on topic, ;)

    The I'm-too-good-for-this-job Attitude

    I have not the time currently to explain why I certainly do not live in a pipe dream. Your obfuscation of the facts, wide sweeping generalities and complete disregard for one set of truths, in order to meet your ends cleanly, makes your assertion incorrect. I will only say one set of fact does...

    Elected Position

    First decide if you really want to run. Are you willing to do these things. 1) Ask for money 2) Spend a lot of time knocking on doors and shaking hands. I'd say I normally try to talk people out of running for office. It's hard work and can be painful. Only those who really want to do it...

    When Was The Last Time You...

    This makes me think of being handed work or tests from the teacher which had been run off by the mimeograph machine. Remember those? My mother was a teacher and at one time she taught in the school where I was going. She would have me go to the office and run copies off on that thing. Messy...

    New JPD Indy hat arrives - another pic added on pg 3

    It looks good. Your wife would think any fedora looks strange on her formerly cap wearing husband. But if you hadn't worn caps ever, and started wearing them, she'd think that odd as well. With a bit of time on her, and your part as well, it will seem as natural any anything else you wear...

    You are right, I had forgotten about the customer service problems reputation Bargain seems to have acquired as of late.

    Learning a New Language Past Age 10

    I think it is easier after learning the second language to learn more. My grandmother was fluent in 10 languages and knew how to speak in 2 or 3 more. , several which she didn't learn till adulthood. I think immersion is obviously the best. For tapes and such i recommend Pimsleur. It is...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    Great job pop. I use the beads or the drymistat tubes, which I have found to work well also. I have a cooler, plus a couple of desktop humis and I also attest that cigars are better at below 70% humidity. Try bargainhumidors.com or JR cigars has some great humidors in really neat styles...

    Vintage Heat?

    You are correct. Anyone who ever fired a fully auto version would concur. 3 round bursts to me would be optimal. I much prefer the 14 to the Garand for the same reason. I hate those clips and the weight. Not to say I don't appreciate the Garand for its durability and the caliber. The M1...

    Vintage Heat?

    I have attended that shoot several times. I used to own a Thompson chopper. It was fun, but expensive, to shoot. I also attended several times a shoot out in Colorado sponsored by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. BIG fun!

    Talk about your vintage laws...

    It seems an absurd charge. Why not simply charge him with 1st degree murder? The law in most states was changed because more and more duels led to death. Dueling is really an ancient practice and has very specific rules of engagement. Even though several of our early well known country...
