    Reverse Pet Peeves

    Don’t take this the wrong way, but I absolutely loathe the “jack of all trades unlicensed” guy. Sure, he can make it look pretty when he’s done, but that doesn’t mean his electrical work isn't going to burn your freaking house down. What you’re doing, just drywall repair and paint, is another...

    Stupid Pet Peeves

    I have zero tolerance for neighborhood speeders. My oldest son has his learners permit right now and if he hits 25.1 MPH I yell at him.

    Wrist fracture

    So we went and had the sling taken off and the had cast put on. These are the pins sticking out, they’ll be pulled out in five weeks.

    At least the guns are okay

    Yeah, the ammo thing is doable. I don’t think the private sale thing is doable. Too easy to just sale a gun to some random dude. That’s why I think it would have to involve some penalty if a gun that was registered to me was involved in a crime, whether I’m the perpetrator or not. If I saw my...

    At least the guns are okay

    This is basically my thoughts as well. I wholeheartedly think changes need to be made. The far left is just as bad as the far right. Hearing politicians say things like “I’m coming after your guns” does nothing to help or fix the problem. Neither does people saying “you’ll have to pry it from my...

    At least the guns are okay

    See, that’s my point. The anti gun movement likes to point out all the bad things about guns without considering the positives.

    Wrist fracture

    Surgery went well. We’re home now and he’s grumpy.

    At least the guns are okay

    Great. Now tell me how many lives were saved because of a semi auto firearm was present when an animal attacked.

    2022 NFL Thread

    As a Jets fan, I disagree. I don’t want to mortgage the figure for an aging (and slightly loony) QB. Like maybe two first rounders or a first, a second, and a fourth are about all I’d like to part with.

    At least the guns are okay

    Does anybody else notice that like just about every arrest made involving the suspect having a firearm one of the charges is “restricted person in possession of a firearm”. Sure sounds to me like criminals that aren’t supposed to have a gun seem to find a way to get guns. It’s almost like...

    Wrist fracture

    My 15 year old son has played 4 years of injury free football and had this happen a month into his first lacrosse season.

    At least the guns are okay

    The thing about is that if it doesn’t work, you know as well as I do that we won’t return to the status quo. I love the idea of buybacks. I think people will be more inclined to sell their firearms to the government than have them taken away. Guns and ammo have always been easily obtainable. I...

    At least the guns are okay

    I can tell you that a major issue for me has been learning how to “behave” when my wife is struggling. She has a tendency to be very short and angry. It’s hard for me to not react negatively when my wife tells me to go **** myself when I ask if she has anything planned for dinner. I struggled...

    At least the guns are okay

    I am all for funding mental health treatments. 100%. My wife has been suffering from mental health issues for the better part of a decade. The help just isn’t there. Getting an appointment to see a therapist or psychiatrist is an absolute joke. She went through a treatment where they literally...

    At least the guns are okay

    Haven’t been here in a while. Admittedly, didn’t read this entire thread, but did read a good portion. As a pro 2A person, here is my thoughts on it: Gameface makes a lot of great points. I’m far from a “gun nut”. I don’t dig deep into the particulars of Glock vs Smith and Wesson vs Kimber vs...

    Cats VS Dogs

    I’ve only ever been around one cat that I liked. My best friend in high school had a cat that was awesome. Only one ever. I’ve had at least one dog in my life constantly, except for a brief period of about 5-6 years. I’m 44 years old. I grew up with labs. Gus (don’t remember him) and then Chet...

    Cheating

    Dude, that took guts. Good on you! Congrats on all the hard work. Keep going.

    Cheating

    It’s possible, maybe even probable, that a good number of those women are lesbians. That’s two women for one relationship. I don’t personally know a lot of young gay men, but I know (through my college aged daughter) more than a couple of college aged lesbians. They’re all in a relationship.

    Balloons Gone Wild

    My son’s lacrosse coach is a colonel in the Air Force, stationed at Hill AFB. He flies the F35. I thought about jokingly asking him when they were going to let him go shoot down a balloon, but I don’t know him well enough to know for sure how he’d react to that. Plus I figure they probably don’t...
