    Photos Let’s see those pets!

    This was our cat, Judy. The most personable, feisty, smartest dog we ever had. She was a Japanese bobtail (who finds a J bobtail in Missi'ppi?) who wagged her tail like a dog; if she was awake she got up to greet me when I came into the room and her tail wagged ferociously all the time. She...

    Gunbroker - protection as a buyer?

    It's the other way around. ATF won't investigate mail fraud. The Postal Inspectors have to initiate the investigation; then if they find there's an actual firearm (or explosives) involved, they'll contact ATF and continue together. If he sent it just end-to-end regular mail if he's got a...

    Gunbroker - protection as a buyer?

    "... and just takes his money, what recourse can he actually do then?" Report it to the Postal Inspectors as a fraudulent FIREARMS (related, if in fact, it is) transaction within Registered Mail. Nuffin like seeing the ATF and USPS Pinspectors cooperate.

    Gunbroker - protection as a buyer?

    At the banks I've used (Wells Fargo, B/A, BancorpSouth) the term "certified check" and "cashier's check" are interchangeable--that is, all three said both terms meant the same document. AS TO USPS MONEY ORDER "SAFETY": I forgot to mention the reason not to use USPS MOs--their "security"...

    Gunbroker - protection as a buyer?

    I used to work at the post office, so my experience is my testimony. Send only a certified check by US REGISTERED MAIL. It's expensive and slow, but almost infallible. "Certified" guarantees the banks track the transaction from your account into his/her account. Registered Mail up to $50,000 is...

    JAE-100 M1A Help please?

    I haven't been keeping up. I just found out J Allen Enterprises has folded. I know its' old news to most of ya'll, but I'm stuck now. My request is... I bought a used JAE stock for my M1A and never mounted it; I moved and lost the instruction manual. Can someone help me? I'd appreciate it very...

    Movie Theater Queens Gambit

    Yeah. His name was David Rapaport. Nobody from any high school ever beat him. One of those freaky smart guys who was so "ahead of his time" he burned out by the time he finished college... graduated NYU at 19 and disappeared. David, wherever you are, I hope you're at peace.

    Maggie’s Crazy shit your kids say

    My nephew is riding in a car seat in the back. His father (I'll call him 'Tom') is driving to the grocery store with his mother-in-law in the front passenger seat. At a green light, some guy bogarts from the head-on lane and turns left in front of them crossing two lanes of flowing traffic...

    Not meaning to pick a fight, but I don't understand what it is in this graph that pisses you off. I'm not a millionaire, but having followed the advice of a financial advisor, we're up ~23.3% What "BS numbers"? We were "unlucky" to be converted to 80% cash and bonds after we recovered to...

    Movie Theater Cult classics... since there doesn't seem to be a thread... And we need some movies to watch!

    A Gathering of Eagles... damn, that's drawing deep from the well. Except for the original posting of Harold and Maude and the regularly offered Rocky Horror Picture Show I don't see many other true "cult" offerings, though Kir stumbled onto 4 or 5 in his list of movies. Most all the rest are...

    Maggie’s Ugly ass recovery (formerly Scared shitless)

    No fear. It does no good. I'll relate an anecdote about my emergency room session when I had my heart attack and triple bypass... I was driven to the E-room by my daughter; it's late on a Thursday night. Picture this: small rural trauma center "unstaffed" because it's Thursday night and no...

    Maggie’s Ugly ass recovery (formerly Scared shitless)

    Heart attack and triple bypass in 1995; I can't remember which arteries, but the blockages were 98%, 95%, and 93%. I should have died two weeks earlier during a summer hike to Bumpus Hell in Lassen. I was 44 and thought I was too young. My "decision" to have surgery was 'forced' on me. I'd die...

    Movie Theater Amaz Prime: ZeroZeroZero

    Don't mind the firefights where some of the "Vampiros" accurately kill so many despite having no front or rear sights on their rifles (episode 8). Fantastic marksmanship!! LOL I wonder if it was like that in the night combat scenes; it was too dark to tell, or at least, I didn't notice until...
