    Poll:Guns

    I have far too many guns that I need, however, I have far too few that I want. So, I'll keep buying until I realize. Geeez.. Well, that IS too many. Perma carrys by the bedside and wallet, ready to go... Convenient yet hidden near all entrances. Long guns, expensive ones, antique ones in...

    Could also be a failed solenoid. Sometimes they still click after they fail, sometimes they don't. Any big box store or Ace Hardware will have them. Then it's just about a 10 minutes fix. There are several ways to check - If you have a DC tester..

    The Onion's View on the Ultimate OMY syndrome

    Yikes... I played golf today (first time in my community with the "old fogeys") and had the question come up of what the hades I was doing not working on a Wednesday morning. After stating I'm retired, one guy said you're young enough to be my son and I just retired, don't BS me! So, I backed...

    Third biggest bubble in US history?

    That and look what IBM is doing with their stock.. Since 2010, they've purchased back $50Billion of stock all to try to reach their 2015 roadmap goal of $20 EPS. I think as of yesterday, they have now less than 1 billion available shares on the market.. Their lowest amount in decades. They're...

    I got mine from my investment farm.. It's on an old dirt road called Winter Rd. and the farm itself is my little haven away from everyone else... Hence the name.. :)

    Gave notice last Friday ( the 13th)

    I gave two weeks and a couple of days.. Last day is the 30th and it can't get here soon enough. I had my boss' boss and my boss' boss' boss call to try to dissuade me. I told each of them it would have to be an eye opening offer for me to stay... If they ever get around to asking me a...

    Two Weeks In... Not Exactly What I Expected

    My last day will be 6/30. And every day is extremely slow. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas. I'll be done after the second busiest time of the year with "daily beating"s leading up to that monday, the 30th. Hopefully my last "blue sunday night" (which I experience every sunday night)...
