  1. How do you find someone to marry : Well we asked some kids to answer that question . . . . You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.???? -- Alan, age 10?? -No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.?? -- Kristen, age 10?? 2.??WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED???

  2. I liked it when you had to pay a poll tax, be a property owner to vote for any county or school board official that had a hand in setting and collecting taxes. Another benefit was that jurors were picked from the poll tax roll. Ancient, ain't I? LOL The way things are now you might as well let your dog vote as the snowflake Social Arts grad that is 25 years old and living in their Mom's spare bedroom and attending **female cat hat protests against Trump vote, it jest ain't what's right folks! ** damn stupid grammer police anyway
  3. Very good charting! Of course you need to remember each caliber and loading has it's own individual trajectory curve, (as also the difference of the distance the scope is mounted above the bore of the rifle) even different rifles of the same caliber have their own trajectory curve which may vary a bit from the standard ballistic chart. That is why you need to actually shoot each range and record the data or dope to establish the "dope" for sight adjustments. Don't forget to also find and record the correct windage adjustments, for even a calm day,
  4. we found an Amana set that is not too bad.
  5. Damn 98 you are getting to be a really bad meanny, Next thing you will ask them to move out of Mama's basement and learn how to operate a washer and dryer without using their smart phones!
  6. Hey I don't like the distraction of a 12 Ga hull parting my hair, I like to keep well groomed at all times, even when I am shooting at some center of uranus! . . . and you computer typing correction mess of DoDo, keep off my damn lawn! 😝
  7. Right or wrong? or is it write or wong?
  8. This is the one I want, 28 Ga. 28" barrel, dove gun, to go with my 50 year old 12 Ga model 37 full choke plain barrel. I love these old Ithacas I have a Winchester model 42 .410 full choke I have had since I was 12 years old, my dove gun, not quite worn out yet. about $1400 retail.
  9. One thing about an Ithaca pump is you can hold the trigger down and really crank off some hurt.
  10. go with the 870! I prefer the Ithaca Featherlight 37, because I shoot ambidextrously, but their aren't made anymore in the USA, that I know of. OOPS, I just read that the Ithaca 37 is being made in Upper Sandusky, Ohio and retail for around $800 -$900 https://ithacagun.com/
  11. I git it!, LOL!
  12. Yeah I knew.......
  13. I remember the Gunney (Lee Whatshisname) doing that in a movie, with an operating spring after a Marine rifle cleaning session, holding up an operating spring, the boots started taking their rifles apart, he said "it is mine"
  14. Heck NO! We didn't have that GREEN Thang, back in my day Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment,. The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." The older lady said that she was right our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on toexplain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then. We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day. Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then. We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the "green thing" back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the "green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint. But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then? Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off... Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smartass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much.
  15. I have had both, and a boat, stops negative cash flow when retired to sit out in the weeds, not so for a horse.
  16. After having several horses and done some breaking, I would say to Ms Peachy, really think it over before owning a horse. I would rather have a couple of 4 wheelers and a side by side 4x4 Polaris Ranger or J.D. Gator. They don't eat drink and poop 24/7/52/365 and require a pasture,shoeing, horse trailers, saddles tack, Etc.,Etc............... just some oil gas and battery charging, then when they get ragged and worn out, just trade them in. If you need something to keep the grass and weeds down either get some goats or buy a DR field mower!
  17. Some More of those thingies. . . . . You can always count on Americans to do the right thing—after they've tried everything else." A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool 
and throw them fish. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks. A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says “In an emergency, notify,” I put “A DOCTOR.” Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
  18. Paraprosdokians are figures of speech which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected & is frequently humorous. 1. Where there's a will I want to be in it. 2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you . . . . but it is still on my list. 3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 4. If I agreed with you, we both would be wrong. 5. We never grow up . . . . .we only learn how to act in public. 6. War does not determine who is right, only who is left. 7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting tomato into a fruit salad. 8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. 9. You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. More to come later. . . . I figured you would say that.....DUUUHHHH!
