What fuckin' lack of gun laws?! There are laws that govern the manufacture; the sale; the purchase; the ownership; the use of guns. We have no fucking lack of gun laws. What he is lamenting is the fact that we have a lack of gun BANS. And to him I say EAT SHIT, and TOO FUCKIN' BAD. Control your own scumbag shiteating criminal population, but don't blame us for your problems. We are not the cause of them. Yeah, anti-gun shitheads are my hot-button. Sho' 'nuff! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

OH, how I wish I could afford to laugh out loud here at work! That was GREAT!! -Jeffrey P.S. I don't know where I heard it, but years ago I found out that they were supposed to be college roommates. I guess the reason they never had female significant others in the picture was that they were dorks. -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Unless you are a licensed firearms dealer (FFL), you cannot receive firearms shipped directly to you. (I'm not sure if within-one-state shipping falls into this category, but that doesn't affect you anyway.) If you and another private owner want to ship a gun between you, the sender has to have an FFL ship to an FFL from whom the receiver will pick up the gun. The exception is that you can bring your gun to a shipper (UPS, FEDEX) to ship if you are sending it to an authorized repair shop (like I have to do with my Taurus). I have found out that in order to send the gun via UPS, I have to take it to a UPS hub -- cannot send them through UPS STORES. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Absolutely! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

"Dearly beloved... we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life! Electric word, Life -- it means forever and that's a mighty long time But I'm here to tell you, there's something else: the Afterworld... A world of neverending happiness -- you can always see the sun, day... or night... So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills -- you know the one, Doctor Everything'll-Be-All-Right -- instead of askin' him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. Because in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld... In this life... YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!! Of course, it's "Purple Rain"! One of the greatest soundtracks EVER! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

QuoteThis is exactly the sort of situation that, imo, disproves the notion some have that you should only show your weapon when using it to shoot. Your brandishing ended the situation, and will give this asshole considerable pause the next time he thinks about assaulting some other woman. It also disproves the asinine notion that a woman in such a situation should just "call the police" "since that's their job." People argue that civilians will just get themselves hurt if they take it upon themselves to protect themselves. It's utterly absurd to believe that every person should just cede responsibility for that to people who cannot possibly be there in time to help us. edit: Here's a question for Flygurl, since I was urged to "preach on"... Flygurl, do you suppose that the scumbags who were threatening you (and let's make no mistake, they were threatening you) would have just held off and waited while you called 911 and then waited for a cop to show up? Of course not. So any woman (or any person) who tries to coach any other woman (or any other person) that all they need is a cellular phone, and that having a gun puts one in worse danger, ought to STFU and join the real world. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Honey, YOU FREAKIN' ROCK! It warms my heart to see a fierce independent woman take responsibility for her own safety like you did. You may have saved your own life -- or at the very least, prevented yourself from being raped by the dregs of humankind. I congratulate you on your preparedness, intelligent handling of the situation, and your resolve to not be a victim. Thankfully you have not been sucked into believing that a woman with a gun is in more danger than a woman without one -- the absurd party line of the anti-gun crowd. Glad you are okay. Very glad. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I have a Lotus, and I do love it. There is only one drawback to it that I can think of, and that is the difficulty in collapsing it to tote back to the packing hangar if there is any decent wind on the ground. But that, to me, is a small price to pay for what I perceive to be the security of a canopy that stays inflated and flying much better than non-airlocked canopies. When it's time to go elliptical, I plan to get myself another of Brian's creations. Yeah, boy! -peacefuljeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

How about we put the money in escrow and wait til you need us to save you from some european dictator once again, and the money'll pay for some Liberator single-shot .45s like last time... -peacefuljeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yeah, wonderful expenditure of lives and resources, this "Drug War"... Sounds like a bunch of over-macho guys trying to play commando. This helps society how, exactly? There won't be another boat to raid, and another, and another...? And this IS keeping the country utterly free of illegal drugs, right? -peacefuljeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

We're talking about flying, here, which uses knots, primarily. Why not use the standard for a nautical mile -- 6076 feet? -peacefuljefffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, I think that in order to qualify for a Darwin Award, the recipient has to have died of his own stupidity/incompetence before having procreated. This guy had already done so. Didn't deserve to die, perhaps. But he did deserve the consequences of his actions. Everyone does. It's madness to suggest that people should somehow have their actions divorced from the consequences OF those actions. That means, I guess, that he DID deserve to die... -peacefuljeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Nope. Misspelling things is one of your idiosyncracies, apparently. Sounds like you should get a Sonicare. Great toothbrush, makes the whole process much more tolerable. It times four 30-second increments, and gives a beep and a momentary pause between each of them, for a total of 2 minutes of brushing time. That's what they say is recommended by dentists. (Turns out I had never been brushing my teeth for long enough, in the past.) Oh, I should mention that FLOSSING IS ESSENTIAL. I am a convert to flossing. In years past, I would floss only if I felt something stuck in my teeth. Now, though (after mucho work that should not have been made necessary) I floss at least once a day, every day. MAN, you should see how much more stuff is removed than just by brushing. For the record, I prefer to wet the toothbrush, apply the toothpaste, and then wet it quickly again before brushing. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Here's an article about some people who must be (HOPEFULLY) the last fuckin' morons on earth who didn't know that YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUN A FUCKING GAS GENERATOR [I]INDOORS[/I] BECAUSE IT WILL FUCKING [I]KILL[/I] YOU!! Really. What excuse can someone have for thinking that would be okay? Have they been living in a cave for the last twenty years? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Not a fucking chance. That's just fucking obscene. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I hate lipstick. It's artificial and gross. I like to kiss bare lips and NO lip schmutz of any kind beyond, maybe, chapstick. I can't quite understand why women put that shit on their lips. It makes them look clownish. There's a lot to be said for allowing people to see what is naturally YOU. We were not made with "RED" lips -- so why make them that way. And for crap's sake, don't EVER even CONSIDER those awful BROWN shades of lipstick. If you have to put that garbage on, at least make it bright red and glossy!

Yup, I think you should get a window unit, as well. And it will be a backup for the future if anything else goes wrong with the central A/C. I got one for $180 + tax (about $200) and my landlady reimbursed me for it, when my last one quit a month ago. That was for a 12,000 BTU model, which does a good job on my small bedroom and living room. I don't see how anyone could possibly bear sleeping (or anything else) about Florida in the summer if there was no A/C. It would certainly help account for the idea that a person could be driven to acts of rage. If I had to sleep every night without air conditioning, I would be a VERY different person!

I just returned to my cat after leaving her alone (with a stop-in friend to feed her) for a whole week +. It would just be too cruel to start messing with her like that right after she was so lonely for so long... As much as I would love to see what happens, I can't bring myself to do something like that to my Feather. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Hellll no! That would be, like, out of character and stuff! Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yeehaaaa! I've been away from Florida on a driving vacation up to New York, and during a stop here on Long Island to see my dad and my sister, I made time to get to Skydive Long Island to do a jump! Finally!!

Sheeooot, I don't know what brands I've had, but I've had like two of them. I love those things! Oh, um, for the record, any "Wasabi Peas" you get are verrrrry unlikely to contain the actual wasabi root on them. I read in an article that wasabi is extremely expensive and when restaurants say "wasabi," they really mean some type of green-dyed horseradish. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

And it doesn't do a whole hell of a lot of good when the gag is properly secured, either! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Holy moly, I ALSO have a spring-suit that is royal blue and black! It has a little silver in it, too. Just what is going on?! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
