Muell,
The bookies set a line on what they consider the score will be.
If you don't know what I am talking about, don't play.
Have fun,

what's the line?

Dan,
There is no way you could split the 20 foot span with some sort of load bearing post?
Just wondering,

Bob,
The winter of 1999 was a terrible one for us in Virginia.
Almost the whole week between Christmas and New Year we were without power.
I had an 1100 watt generator that could power one room. It could run a TV, lights, even the fan for the wood stove. If we turned off the fan, and TV, it could also run a coffee maker or a toaster.
I was the only house in the neighborhood with Christmas lights on.
I had the TV on one morning and my wife decided she wanted to vaccum. It handled it. She finished vaccuming and decided she wanted some coffee. She then decided she wanted some toast.
POOF.
Since I had the breaker open to the grid so the circuit I was using would not backfeed, she decided that circuit should be closed. I must have reset the breaker on the generator a dozen times before I found the problem.
After the WHY2K debacle, I bought a 5K generator and hooked it up for more ice storms. This spring I will have to drain the gas from the tank and replace it. It has only been started once since I have owned it and only for test purposes.
If you don't have it you need it, and if you have it you don't need it.
Ain't life a bitch?
Oh well, better than the alternative.
Have fun,
Phil
CH,
Bob don't push no buttons anymore. He just slaps keys.
Anyone ever tell you that sometimes you are either stuttering or simply repeating yourself?

Yeah...not a good idea unless you can drag their carcass across the threshold, LOL!
The only problem with that would be the blood trail.

I am a painting contractor so if anyone has any questions I would be glad to help as much possible.
What brand of paint do you think is the best?

Dan,
The retired sheriff used some self control not to shoot this guy who was obviously doing a home invasion.
I always heard that if you shot someone before they were in the house you would be in deep and serious trouble.
Is that true or not.
The way I read that story, he was never really "in" the house.
TIA,
Phil
Mark,
I realize Mary can be a pain in the arze, but if she is gone it is our loss.

Lake Chesdin lies between the counties of Chesterfield and Dinwiddie, hence the name. It's fairly close to Petersburg, Va.
About an hour north of the the N.C. state line, up I-95.
Have fun,

excel,
I guess justice here would be for the idiot who made up those rules to have an emergency and the one to respond be 20 miles away and only drive 15 above speed limit.
That's exactly why a person needs to be armed and self sufficient.
The police are back up.
Protection is at home.
At least at my home.
Hand near my KAHR.
Have fun,
Phil
Shao,
You have fished Lake Anna in addition to Claytor Lake?
If you add Smith Mountain Lake and Lake Chesdin, we should be neighbors.
Have fun,

For the record, I fondled a gun today.
LOL,

It was such a nice number, I could not help myself.
The devil made me do it.

Subject: Forrest Gump
The day finally arrives: Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we've been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, and you have to pass before you can get into heaven.
The questions are:
1) What days of the week begin with the letter T?
2) How many seconds are there in a year?
3) What is God's first name?"
Forrest says, "Well, the first one -- how many days in the week begin with the letter "T"? That's an easy one. That'd be Today and Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that's not what I was thinking, but ..... I'll give you credit for that answer.
"How about the next one?" asks St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?"
Now that one's harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk and guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
"Shucks, there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd.
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this, and I'll have to give you credit for that one, too.
Let's go on with the next and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
"Sure" Forrest replies, "its Andy."
"Andy?!" exclaims an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. "Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name of Andy as the first name of God?"
"That was the easiest one of all," Forrest replies,
"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN"
St. Peter opens the Pearly Gates and says: "Run, Forrest, run."
Have fun,
Phil

I must admit, I never have understood the desire some people have to get drunk.
I never start drinking with the intention of getting drunk. It simply sometimes slips up on me.

I also fished another lake in Va., but I don't remember it's name. It was just off of I-81, not too far from Bluefield. Good luck ~ shao
Claytor Lake?

Dan,
Do you have a list of states that honor other states concealed weapons permits?
I used to routinely travel out of Virginia with a loaded handgun in a bag close beside me. Not on my person, but within arms reach. I was always a little worried about it when I crossed the state line, but never worried enough to unload.
Have fun,
Phil
Dan,
Thanks for posting the link.
The following is on up for repeal and is expected to pass, as has been previously posted:
J3. No person shall carry a concealed handgun onto the premises of any restaurant or club as defined in § 4.1-100 for which a license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption has been granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board under Title 4.1 of the Code of Virginia; however, nothing herein shall prohibit any sworn law-enforcement officer from carrying a concealed handgun on the premises of such restaurant or club or any owner or event sponsor or his employees from carrying a concealed handgun while on duty at such restaurant or club if such person has a concealed handgun permit.

BIGONE,
I really love my KAHR.
I am a relatively small and very mean person, LOL, I'm just a little teddy bear with an explosive personality.
Anyway, the little KAHR fits my hand like a glove.
It's a DAO, which some people don't like, but I like it because there is no safety. If you need it, you draw it and shoot it.
Try it. I believe you would like it.
Have fun,
Phil
Dan,
The key there is TRAINED to arms. I do not have a problem with citizens carrying guns (Known as CHL for a concealed handgun license) but again they must be properly trained in not only firearm safety but the laws of the land regarding the use of deadly force.
I know GP has already responded to your post, but wanted to add to his response.
I believe all states should have a reasonable requirement of ability and knowledge to issue one the right to carry a concealed weapon. In Virginia, there is a reasonable requirement.
I'll post this portion of your sentence again for clarity:
but again they must be properly trained in not only firearm safety but the laws of the land regarding the use of deadly force.
What are "the laws of the land regarding the use of deadly force"?
I consider the law of "my land" to be as much force as is necessary to protect my family and myself from idiots that wish to do us harm.
Do you wish to define the "laws of the land regarding the use of deadly force" as you see it?
I have carried a concealed weapon for over 20 years. I have never had to use it, but I revealed it on one occasion to subdue someone. I am proud that I have been able to carry that long and have never felt the need to draw. If I were to draw, I am confident that I could pull the trigger.
I am glad and proud that the American people can afford to pay for a police force and for the military to help protect them, but protection starts at home.
We protect ourselves, and call for you if we need help.
Have fun,
Phil
Dan,
I didn't say that the police should not have followed OJ and arrested him.
Give me a friggin' break.
I said it did not take a hundred police cruisers to get the job done.
Did you see it on TV?
It was a joke.
As was the news release afterwards.
With all of the helicopters following the chase, you don't believe there were a few units following OJ that could have been doing duty elsewhere?
Or do I take it you would have loved to be in one of the units?
I can see it now. A great grandchild on your knee. "I was one of the officers that chased OJ. I was in the 183rd car".
And just for the record, due to sloppy police work, OJ was never found guilty in a criminal court.
Have fun,
Phil
This is one of the few times I have to agree with hollen.
With the present technology such as radios, helicopters, et al
high speed chases that endanger innocent bystanders are unnecessary. All you need to do is follow the idiots until they run out of gas. I doubt there are a lot of criminals that think "Wait, I have to fill up my tank before I rob this bank".
I remember watching the fleet of police cars following OJ and thinking how ridiculous it was. How many police cars need to follow a relatively slow moving vehicle when it is heavily covered by helicopters? How many other crimes were not covered while all those units followed OJ?
And the press release after he had been apprehended.
That was also hilarious. One would have thought it was the Acadamy Awards.
End of rant.
Have fun,
Phil

I was quickly surprised to find that all I was doing was throwing dirt up at the targets we were shooting at. He proceded to show us young'uns how it was done.
I used to a member of a local archery club. One Sunday morning, when no one was at the range, I took my Dad out to shoot a few rounds of lead at the bales of excelsior, since I knew they would stop the bullets.
Slightly to the side of the target in front of one of the bales was a tree stump. My Dad set a can on the stump and couldn't hit it. I hit it with regularity. I told him to shoot at the archery target on the bale so we could see how far his sights were off. He shot at the target and hit the can. After he helped me up off of the ground, he said he was shooting at the can. I said, "yea, right". It was a running joke for years.
I guess the youngun' won that one.
Have fun,

Two old women were talking and exchanging notes on their sexual
activities. The first old woman told the second old woman that sometimes she gets her husband excited at night by getting totally naked, lying in bed and putting both legs behind her head, yoga style.
The second old woman thought that this was a great idea, so that night when her husband went in the bathroom to get ready for bed, she got totally naked and began the process of putting her legs behind her head. The first leg was kind of tough to put in place as she was a bit arthritic. However, she finally got it in place. She had an even tougher time with the second leg, so she rocked herself backwards until she finally got it behind her head. However, she had rocked just a little too hard so that she flipped slightly backwards and got stuck with her butt sticking straight up in the air.It was just then that her husband came out of the bathroom.
Gladys!" he exclaimed. "For heavens sake, comb your hair and put
your teeth in .... You look like an asshole!!!!
Have fun,
Phil
Have fun,

I think your lost in the smoke.
Its not your, it's you're, you idiot.
Looking at your profile, you haven't discussed any stocks.
Another personal attack.
On this thread, neither have you.
Owning a killing machine is hardly civil.
An automobile or a baseball bat could be considered a "killing machine". Knives and other weapons also.
Why do you pick on guns?
Because you are a liberal idiot that always hopes someone will be there to defend you.
Have fun,
Phil
GP,
JoeMonkey Is a liberal idiot that has no idea what he is talking about.
Or who he is talking to.
Have fun,

joe,
You came here looking for an argument and you got one.
Now, since you lost, you are trying to take it personal.
I am not a "basher".
I am one that will attempt to rationally discuss the attributes, or lack of, of a company.
Does that make one a basher?
If so, you are a basher of one's civil liberties.
The RIGHT to bear arms.
Cut me off?
Please do, you idiot.
Have fun,
Phil
In what state?
I don't remember, but it was on TLC the other day.
Just as I thought, no facts to back your statement.
Ok idiot, when did I say I wanted to disarm everyone? I want MORE restrictions and I think you must have a specific reason to why you are going to buy a gun in order to buy a gun. And I think a gun lock should be included with EVERY gun purchase in the US, new or used guns. With EVERY gun, should a specific lock for it that prevents it from beign fired without the key. And I think if you don't have a gun for protection, the gun should be stored in some sort of government-ran vault - like a bank for guns. In a saftey deposit box looking vault. And everyone should "check out" their gun to the gun bank knows when the person has it and for how long. And every bullet made should have a serial number so identify who it was purchased by. Yeah, it would be expensive, but it would save lives.
I am going to have to dissect your paragraph.

You did not say specifically that you wanted to disarm the populace, only by innuendo.
MORE restrictions, you idiot, will not take guns out of the hands of criminals. Criminals care not about restrictions and laws. Why is that so hard for the idiot liberals to understand?
My specific reason to own a gun?
Because I want to.
It is a RIGHT I enjoy.
You do not deserve nor need any justification.
And I think if you don't have a gun for protection, the gun should be stored in some sort of government-ran vault - like a bank for guns. In a saftey deposit box looking vault. And everyone should "check out" their gun to the gun bank knows when the person has it and for how long.
I can see it now:
Someone breaks into my house:
I say, can you wait a couple of hours for me to go get my gun, JoeMonkey won't allow me to keep it here in my home?
You are an idiot.
And every bullet made should have a serial number so identify who it was purchased by. Yeah, it would be expensive, but it would save lives.
OK Joe, you have made another statement without any factual back up.
How many lives do you estimate it would save if every bullet had a serial number on it.
You are an unbridled idiot.
Have fun,
Phil
Cooperation. Most criminals don't want to kill anyone - so doing as they say will often save your life. And did YOU know that if your working in a quick shop and you are robbed - it is illegal to try and fight the criminals? I suggest just doing as they say and letting the police catch them. Most criminals are caught. If you want to carry a gun and fight the bad guys, join the police.
In what state?
Most companies tell you the money is not worth your life, but in what state is it illegal?
Remember Joe, don't make yourself an idiot. Put up or shut up.
What state?
There are thousands of crimes thwarted every year because of the ability of individuals to carry concealed weapons. Just read the facts.
If you mean when was the last time I saw an armed criminal? About a year ago when I was in Chicago. And one encounter with one is one too many.
Was that the only time?
I agree one is too many, but you propose to disarm all law abiding citizens because you encountered one criminal?
Get real, Joe.
Now, Joe, I have become bored with arguing these facts with someone as stupid as you are.
Either provide some backup facts for your opinions or I will discontinue communication on this issue.
Have fun,
Phil
Damn NW,
After that ride you probably have to microwave them and eat them fast and only imagine the they are "hot out of the oven".
LOL
Have fun,

Are you idiot enough to think that a gun is the only way to defend yourself?
No, just the way I prefer.
What way do you prefer?
Why should you be able to decide or interfere if I prefer a gun over any other method.
Remember, I have a RIGHT to own a firearm.
Guns were created for killing. Tell me, why did they invent the gun some 400 years ago? For target practice?
I agree that guns were originally invented for the ability of one to kill something, but like you said, times have changed. Now people use them as much for sport as for anything alse. I have personally fired several thousand rounds and have never drawn a bead on another person.
Now, your point?
Let's see, WWII didn't happen in the 70s or 60s - didn't I say 30 years? And I meant by "world" as the United States. I meant by just an every day walk on the street.
Whatever you meant, and whenever it happened, guns have been used in all wars to liberate us from our oppressors. I hope they will always be available. I hope idiots like you will never get their way and take away my ability to defend myself and my countrymen (including you, you idiot) from opressors.
P.S. When was the last time you encountered a gun toting criminal when you took "a walk on the street"?
Have fun,
Phil
Are you referring here to the way CRIMINALS use firearms? To rob, threaten and kill innocent victims? Please clear this one up.
Yes, criminals.
So, Joe, you admit that criminals are using guns against the populace, but you don't want the populace to be able to defend itself?
Joe, are you truly enough of an idiot to believe that the police can defend you from all criminals?
I hope not.
Again, I ask you, WHO was using these guns you have seen? People in the city? I thought ... it was the country southern rednecks that were the problem Joe. Now you refer to seeing gus pointed in the city ... Who was pointing guns, and how were they using them?
Criminals. To threaten, not kill. But isn't that what guns are used for? They are certainly not used for collecting or shooting at targets.
Joe,
I have a collection of guns. I use them for hunting, target shooting, and protection for my family and myself. That is what guns are for.
How? Where? Were you even around 30 years ago?
The world is much more dangerous than it was 30 years ago, that's just common sense.
Oh? You mean before the Nazis? Who's "common sense"? You certainly don't exhibit any.
You base too much of your emoting on television and your severely limited life experiences. You may wish to impress someone with your "knowledge", but you have to demonstrate some first!
How can you judge how much life experience a person has by their age?
Joe,
One can read from another's posts their lack of common sense and lack of life experiences. You have already exhibited that you are an idiot with very few life experiences.
Keep your mouth shut and let people think you an idiot or open your mouth and leave no doubt.
Have fun,
