Hah, I’ve had someone complain that I didn’t use all XX number of words that are allowed in an excerpt. I’ve got some names for those and these kind of people, but being a lady, I’ll reserve them. :) I appreciate you posting the info.

Wow, you’re much more accommodating than I would have been.

I can certainly see that it’s a beautiful tool for the purpose it was made. Certainly would be a heck of a surprise for would -be thief! With that exposed trigger I would think you’d want to practice your holster work darn near every day though and have that muscle memory well in place.

That is what I would like to know also.

Thanks!

LOL. Can’t imagine why.

Hmmm... don’t think I would feel comfortable with that. Thanks for sharing. Highly doubt this is the kind of holster the police officer was wearing that day.

Have you ever seen a holster for a pistol that leaves the trigger exposed? I haven’t!

I am a professional civil engineer in Florida. I don’t do traffic light design. However transportation Engineering was a portion of the PE exam I had to take. To prepare for the exam I took a review course that included transportation enginnering with that portion taught by a traffic PE. Here’s what he told us; it is okay to be in the intersection when the light turns red as long as you passed fully into the intersection while the light was yellow, but before it turned red. That assumes that traffic ahead isn’t stopped and you’re not blocking the intersection. That is why there is (or there is supposed to be) a pause from when one light turns red to when the opposite direction light turns green.
Red light cameras are also great at catching people doing a rolling stop for a right on red. You must stop fully before crossing the wide white stop bar, even if you can’t see oncoming traffic. Then roll forward to check traffic and make your turn.

Yuck. I wouldn’t use a public changing station unless it was absolutely last resort. Can’t even imagine the filth that’s on them. In my diaper bag I always have at least one large disposable pad that gets laid down under baby on the very rare occassion that I do have to use a changing table. The back end of the SUV works beautifully for changes. In fact most places I leave the diaper bag in the car, knowing I’ll head back there to do a change. And for extreme emergencies, which thankfully I haven’t had to use yet and hopefully never will, I keep one diaper and a ziploc with wipes in a small bag that I keep my cash, id & ccw in.

Two peculiar things, people don’t smoke in the mall anymore and now way some of those photos are from summer given the heavy jackets some people have on.

I take my guy out to the car.

There are other FReepers who were targeted as well.

We can hope! But I’m not holding my breath. Guy seems to be made of teflon.

Hi back to you :)

Unsupported video format

Something you’ve probably already looked in to, but do you have a vet school close by that might be willing to work with you?

So very very sorry to hear this news. Really hoping and praying that something works out.

The Gander Mountain in Lake Mary has been getting some .22LR in. They have had a bunch of Federal Ultra Match at $25/box (ouch!). As of last Friday they still had that, no surprise at that price. Then they got in some Remington/Eley match grade and target grade. Target grade was $12/box, Match grade was $30/box (double ouch!). The target grade was gone last Friday, no surprise. Still had match Eley in stock.

I have no idea what you are referring to.

I have so many negative thoughts about this “man” and culture that promotes this type of thinking that I can’t even focus them all into one coherent statement.

Praying for y’all. Usually an older dogs disease, and the drooling doesn’t necessarily fit unless she’s so dizzy she’s nauseated, but what about a vestibular disease?

We have a 4 year old whirlpool dw that was in the house when we bought it. Works pretty well, I haven’t really had any complaints with it. I use a detergent called BioKleen, which I got turned on to because I don’t like all the fragrances they use in various detergents. I’ve tried TSP and didn’t notice much difference. Then I started putting just plain white vinegar in the rinse aid “cup” and everything comes out very nicely. I rarely rinse dishes before they go in, but I do run the short “rinse only” cycle.

Only if you shopped at Macy’s

Will you add me to your ping list please?

There are supposedly two varieties of autism; one that has roots with gut flora and one that has roots in brain abnormalities. If that is indeed the case, I can understand why some children have adverse reactions to vaccines and some don’t. There’s an article/interview on the Dr. Mercola website with a doctor who claims to have cured her child of autism with a certain food protocol she follows.

Great article. Thanks.

I carry a Glock 27. Heat most of the year make carry a challenge, but best I’ve found for me is IWB.

Yeah, he snipped their spines *after* they were already dead. Sure, I believe that. Uh huh. Sure.

Well insn’t that interesting.

Same thing at northwest Orlando Walmart yesterday.

That’s true, but I’d venture there’s a higher chance of issues with ingedients from China

But that was before Natura was bought by Proctor & Gamble in 2010. Where do they get their ingredients from now?

Private citizens can display the flag however they like. The President can order a change in the display for flags on Federal buildings, lands, etc.

We have a flag in our front yard. It is lighted at night. We put it at half mast after the last election and have left it there.

Thanks, finally found the info that the amendment was defeated prior to vote on the bill. After I asked of course. :)

Do you know if there was an amendment added to the bill yesterday that would have been a ban on high capacity mags?

Just taking after Florida. Florida has had some of the most aggressive stormwater rules in the country. Pretty much any development, with the exception of single family rural type home, has to provide both treatment and attenuation of stormwater runoff. Real rules started going into effect in the 80’s. Recently there’s been a push through the Florida Dept. Of Environmental Protection to force retrofit of EVERY development to come into meeting the new requirements that FDEP is trying to get put into effect; namely a total mass density loading of things like phosphorous, nitrates, etc. We’re talking every office building, housing development, etc building some kind of pond, and if I remember correctly wet ponds would not meet the new removal criteria. Imagine in low-lying Florida how much fill you’d have to bring onto a site to have a dry bottomed 5 foot deep “pond”. I don’t recall right now how many tens of BILLIONS of dollars the last cost estimate to do all that was. Thankfully when Gov. Scott came into office he put a hold on all those proposed rule changes.

Same nonsense from him as usual as far as I could see. What I couldn’t take my eyes off of was poor old Uncle Joe in the background. The faces he was making were ridiculous!

Just had to comment quickly on your tagline. Great book, can’t wait for the next in the series to be published.

Hell of a storm Orlando got tonight!

As I replied to someone else regarding this story....
Let the “community” come try to take *my* baby. The one I was in unmedicated labor with for about 40 hours. Think I was a warrior to get through that? That ain’t nothing compared to what I’m capable of if needs be.

I posted this on one of the other threads about this story. Something about this just doesn’t pass the smell test. Luis is my boss’s foster brother. This is the church that President Bush attended when he was in office, and Luis had always been supportive of him in the past. This story just doesn’t make sense to me given what I know.

I am having trouble with this story. Luis is my boss’s foster brother and in the past had been very supportive of President Bush. Something just doesn’t add up to me.

Ever read the Wool series by Hugh Howey?

Yeah, and as hard as it is finding .22LR, try finding match grade .22LR.

Would this be the Thirsty Turtle in Juno?

You may be aware, but there are pinky extenders for the grips.

Thank you for posting that so I didn’t have to. :)

I’ll also add that ingested fluoride can have negative effects on your thyroid. I read somewhere that it is/was commonly used in Europe to treat hyperthyroidism.

I’m an engineer too, as is my husband, well now I’m a stay at home mom, but I still have my license. Been a pleasure discussing all this with you.

It would be nice to have a united Christian front. I’m not sure how possible that will be given that even within each denomination there are disagreements on major issues. And there are some deal killers for me personally within the Catholic church that would prevent me from joining.

That said, we’ve yet to find an LCMS church within reasonable driving distance after moving away from our “home” LCMS church almost 4 years ago. It seems they’ve all gone to a contemporary type service that we can’t stand. It has absolutely nothing to do with being Lutheran, could be substituted into any non-denominational church and no one know the difference. No confession of sins (which even in the LCMS traditional service I changed from being “we” to “I”, as in *I* confess that *I* am by nature sinful and unclean instead of *We* confess.... when it is recited), no Nicene Creed, etc. Not meaning to change the subject, just a bit of confession/observation. But, we have an almost 1 year old now and really would love to find a new home church for all of us.
