  1. I grew up the youngest of 7 boys in 10 years. We always had food, clothes and shelter, but rarely got anything more than we needed because I'm sure we ate up most of the budget, literally. They did put us through Catholic school until 8th grade. That was the best investment they made for us. I have had to work to get money for things I wanted since about 10 years old. I have done a little of everything in my life. I helped the janitor at school in 6th and 7th grade and hauled hay for my grandfather in the summer. My first "real" job with taxes and social security was unloading trucks and watering plants at a nursery at 15. Then I went to a grocery store and worked my way from a bagger to a department mgr in 5 years. I went to Coca Cola and worked my ass off for 8 years and got into sales. It was during this time that I realized I did not want to "work" for a living and went back to school at 29. Thankfully, my wife put me through school for the most part. During undergrad, I worked at an oil distribution warehouse for about a year and did all manner of jobs from filling oil drums to loading trucks. I then went to work as computer help desk for a year and a half until optometry school. I don't regret anything I did because I can use those experiences to better relate to the needs of my patients. I said all of that to say this. During the course of exams, I occasionally have the opportunity to impress upon high school kids that not everyone is cut out to go to college and that learning a skilled trade can get you a good living. With what people charge for plumbing, HVAC, car repair, remodeling, etc..., there are many of them that make more money than I do and have a lot less stress and government regulations.
  2. Is that the Octomom?
  3. Welcome from Texas. Almost anythingis possible if you have the money. Others will be along shortly to help you spend it the right way.
  4. Here's that thread.
  5. S-I-L is supposed to check out the process to order the part when she gets home tonight.
  6. Welcome from Texas
  7. Welcome from Texas. You can shoot all the hogs in East Texas that you want.
  8. We'll pray for May for you.
  9. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4095720/Nine-shot-one-dead-shooting-Ft-Lauderdale-Hollywood-Airport.html Says 3 dead, 9 shot and shooter in custody. I don't know how the British get the story faster than much of the US news sites.
  10. Prayers will be sent. God speed here's to a speedy recovery.
  11. I know the grandfather of a guy who runs this place. I know nothing else but I've heard they have a good reputation. Anyway, if money is no option, here's an option. http://www.shilen.com/ar15Barrels.html
  12. Just ask. We can help you spend money to make your rifle the way you want it.
  13. Thank you for your service.
  14. Welcome from Texas. You can't just tease us like that. What did you get?
  15. When I was looking for a home defense pistol for my wife, I compared the Judge vs the Governor. The S&W was easily worth the extra money. It was just put together better all around and holds one more round. Taurus had a great idea, but didn't get the product right.
  16. LOL, cartel Taurus. That looks like the Jimenez Arms crap I see at the gun shows for next to nothing.
  17. Leah Remini had a multipart show about growing up one of them and getting out. They are going after her all out.
  18. Would it be possible to approximate a serial number by looking at Ruger's page? http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RI-SR762.html
  19. We're going to run you out of money. We're good at helping to spend other people's money. At least you'll have some cool toys when you're done.
  20. Welcome from Texas
  21. I don't watch TV news either, so this won't affect me at all. She is easier on the eyes than Greta VanSustern. She looks worse than Bruce Jenner post-transformation. I read from various sources on the internet. I don't go to one "news" site. I typically go to aggregator sites that have many different sources available.

  23. He is just the only one to admit what they think.
  24. I read that and totally agree with the dog.
