  1. My dad taught me from a young age that life is hard enough by itself, but if I make bad decisions, I will make it exponentially harder for myself.  So I have tried to live my life on the straight and narrow and can say that because of my good decision making, (not always easy or popular), I live an excellent life.  I have the worlds best wife.  We dated 5 1/2 years before we got married.  We were both virgins up until our wedding...but definitely not afterwords.  ;-)  She doesn't emasculate me and she lets me be a man as well as appreciates that I am a man.  She encourages me in where I am weak, and lifts me up where I am strong.  She is a hard worker and when I lost my job a few years ago, she was a source of comfort and calmness in a very stressful situation.  The other day we got into an argument that was clearly her fault...she couldn't see it at the time, but the next day she apologized to me, asked for forgiveness and said she will do better next time. I look forward to coming home after work.  We have no jealousy towards each other...well except she is much better looking that I am but I digress.  I could go out to dinner with any of her girlfriends and she wouldn't think anything of it.  And on the other side, I would trust her with any of my guy friends.  She loves God, loves others and loves herself.  She is very much my best friend and I am always looking forward to growing old with her.     Now contrast that to the one you are choosing to be with.     But in her *slight* defense, how can she respect you as a man, if you aren't acting like one?   Its time to start making some manly decisions.  Don't be a victim.  Time to go get a real job and move out.  You won't like your job...welcome to manhood.  When Adam sinned in the Garden, our curse was to have to work to provide for ourselves.  You will never find work more enjoyable than playing video games at your grandparents house living rent free.  But put your hours in, work harder than anyone else around you, maintain a positive attitude and that will get noticed.  With some experience, you will either move up in the company, or you have made yourself marketable to find a more enjoyable and better paying job.     I am 28 years old and I approve of this message.   :up:

  2.   Dude in literally most of your posts over the past two days you have been negative or dismissive of others life choices, choices in knives, choices in guns, etc. Normally I'd keep my mouth shut but why would you come on a thread about a guy clearly having a hard time turning it around and getting a job that sounds like he has worked hard for only to crap on his choice of job?

  4. Unlike Slappy, I had to learn how not to live first. It was fun at first, then dues had to be paid ... lowest point of my life. Divorced out of a toxic relationship and lost pretty much everything I had. At that point, only one way to go and that is up. The Lord touched me and let me know I was not numbah one on his poop list. Quit drinking, prayed for a good woman, got one and things started to roll. Been one heck of a ride, rough times, good times and everything fell into place. A good woman will amplify your efforts exponentially. A bad woman will drag you down so fast and hard, you'll never see it coming till it's too late. I'm very grateful we have each other.

  6. Well...Nobody correctly guessed on what I got. That is okay as I am sure that only a few people on the forum have ever heard of this maker. Those in the custom knife community know him well, and he has been sought out for decades by top collectors. His knives are pretty much considered top shelf; you really can't get any better. He is Todd Fischer, and the knife I got is an Archangel XL. I became familiar with the Archangel a little over a year ago when a fellow coworker showed me his 3.25" Archangel. I was absolutely floored at the precision. I have never seen any folder that well machined. It was an incredibly overbuilt knife, but it was also a meticulous piece of art as well. It was a little on the small side for my taste at 3.25". However, when I found out he made an almost 5" XL version, I had to have one. I tried getting Mr. Fischer to make me one, but unfortunately his books are closed until 2017. I was sort of surprised by that at the time considering his table price is a lot higher than most (Marsh and Rexford are two that I can think are higher). Now, it doesn't surprise me at all. These knives are entirely made by Mr. Fischer, and he puts a lot of time in their manufacture. Here are the specs on my knife: Blade length: 4.75" Closed length: 6.5" Overall length: 11.25" (Holy cow) Blade steel: S90V :) Handle material: Sheep horn with orange peel titanium bolsters Weight: 12.7 oz Guys, I wish I had a better camera and knew how to take better pictures so you could really appreciate the quality of this knife. Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are some pics. I wish I had a few other knives with me to compare this too, but I am at work so these pics will have to do. This is the largest and most precise folder I have seen. Enjoy.

  7. My temper gets the best of me at times. I can control it most of the time, but last time I got egged was a year or so ago. Same situation, I was going one way, they were headed the opposite way the first two eggs hit the windshield, the third made it through the window and hit me in the chest hard enough to leave a bad bruise. I called the law and flipped a u- turn. When the cops arrived the driver was sitting on the sidewalk crying and begging me not to destroy his car with the 6 lb hammer I had in my hand, the passenger was to drunk to worry about what I was doing. It was an intresting night. I'm not much on "boys will be boys" and innocent pranks. Once you get into the 16 and over range, you might find an ass whopping as the result of that stupid prank. And I was driving my old Dodge Dakota with enough hail damage to look like I pissed off an ex wife. It isnt about how nice or crappy my stuff is. It is my stuff that I paid hard earned money for, and it is my health you're threating by throwing a hard object at a high rate of speed. I would have gotten my ass whipped by my old man for doing something like that. Then again, I grew up working on a farm, and when I had a vehicle to drive, it was because I paid for it. If those kids had to work they would be to tired to get into trouble like that. I know I was, nobody throws hay all day or works out a garden all day, etc then stays out all night causing trouble

  14.   I have a few knives that I will not use only because of their rarity, and I don't want them to lose value.  This knife will be a user.  I spent too much money not to use and enjoy it.  If I mess it up I can always send it in for a spa treatment, and it will be made to look new again.

  16. Dude what is up with you lately? Every post I see from you is basically saying that nothing is worth it. In the shotgun thread you were going on and on about how it was pointless, and how there was no need for expensive things. In the thread about eggs you were going on about buying cheap beaters since nice cars are useless. Now you are carrying on about how buying a nice knife is useless since you can make do with a serviceable one you make. Which, btw, won't be very serviceable unless its made from a high carbon steel and heat treated. Otherwise its just a k ife shaped object that will never hold an edge and will bend easily. I'm not picking on you, just saying there is no need to constantly run down people spending money on things they want. Its starting to be like hanging out with Eeyore. To Mav, hurry up and post pics. The suspense is killing us lol.

  17. Read the post you made before this one and then come back and read this one. Ray Charles could see that there are no similarities. You told him a job that he is obviously happy and proud to have sucks in great detail. This forum is as great as it is because even when someone buys something that we wouldn't buy, likes something that may not be our choice or is happy to have a new job that others may not care to have, we are still happy that they're happy with their choice a certainly don't go around bashing it. I find the way you've chosen to live, a bit odd but I'm tickled to death that you enjoy it and certainly won't tell you it sucks or that it's stupid, etc. although it does seem to have made you quite negative towards others and their accomplishments.

  21. It will let the cops know to stay out of the area for a while because they are probably practicing to kill those same cops.   Want to stop errant gun shots, as well as random shootings? Instead of buying a multi million dollar system take that money and buy a gun for any law abiding citizen who wants one. When criminals figure out they are not the only ones with guns they will become a coward and quit.

  26. Got mine yesterday and all I can say is it is great. I would guess it breaks around 5 to 5.5 lbs. I really didn't have a problem with the stock trigger pack but I can never resist a lighter trigger. It will be a little while before I can get out and shoot it but dry firing it is great. Now for the pics.

  27. Hey guys I just saw where Falcon Bullet Company is doing a limited time production of pink bullets. A portion of all proceeds are going to be donated for breast cancer research. It's great to see a company willing to put forth the effort to do something like this. If you need any bullets consider ordering some of these.http://www.falconbullets.com/category_s/1869.htm

  31. I would say a Geissele trigger isn't a necessity on an AR, but they do make them easier to shoot well, and more enjoyable to shoot. If that's worth $150-200 to you, go for it. If you are quite budget conscience, you can get by with a less expensive trigger. As other have stated, if you buy one and don't like it, it wouldn't be difficult to resell.

  36. I am taking this job not just for myself but for my fiancee and her child.( well, soon to be my child). She works too, and works hard( school teacher). Not because of materialistic things but because I'm tired of making only so much only to have the government take it down quite a bit. Double what i was making at Retail and i won't have to deal with irate customers and no more working holidays. Definately don't want to work black friday ever again. ( Bunch of crybaby customers when i worked at Electronic Express).   I don't think you were meaning anything bad, ab28, But some on here thought so.   All I want to do is get out of debt, buy a newer truck( mine is a 1998 with 230000 miles, so i need a newer one) and take care of my new family. Enjoy life, and be able to enjoy life.

They are a blowback, not locked breech, gun so they are going to be safe with any ammo you shoot out of them. And because they are blowback they are so much more reliable. I dare anyone to find someone who has actually owned a highpoint that says theirs wasn't reliable. Yes they are ugly as sin and cheap as hell but they are reliable.

  44. Want to hear about not awesome.   I was not planned and probably not wanted. Up to that point my father had been travelling and living it up until he knocked up my mother. Six months later he did the right thing by marrying her but that didn't mean he liked or even wanted me and it shows. My first memory, when I was 4 or 5, was of my drunken father laying me over the armrest of an old brown recliner as he beat me with a belt. Why was he beating me? Because I wasn't able to count to 10 in school. So he told me I had to count the hits. I would make it about 1/2 way and just to make it stop I would say 10. Then he would say it was wrong and start over. I bet I was beat for 20 minutes as I figured out how to count to 10 but it wasn't about me counting, it was about having someone to vent his rage upon because my mother had left my father a few months earlier because of his drunken, abusive antic and because he didn't have my mother to abuse anymore he took it out on me. Over the next couple of years I was beat by my father, my mother and my mother's boyfriend. And honestly those years are a blur. But I do remember being drug around by my arms, feet, hair or whatever they could grab a hold of as they beat me. A few years later my mother and father decided to get back together and that is things really got bad. I was beat with all kinds of things, daily. My father liked using unusual things to punish me and would find odd things or make things to beat me with. My mother's favorite thing to use was a straightened out metal coat hanger that she used to wail away on the backs of my legs. My father, for as long as I can remember, was ALWAYS mean to me. As I walked by he would grab the skin around my waist and twist it until it bruised. He would push me down or trip me then point and laugh. Anything I did that I was proud of he would destroy then laugh as I would cry. He would use locust limbs, with thorns, to beat me as he made me low crawl between the house and barn. And all this was before I turned 10. Oh, and my father's father was with us for a few years and he did pretty much the same thing so here I was, a 7-8 year old boy, being beat and tormented daily by those who are supposed to love and cherish me. My best memory of my childhood was waking up before they did so I could watch the Stooges without being afraid.   By the time I was 13-14 I was away form home a lot. I was getting drunk almost every day, being mean and fighting. But the biggest fight I had was to avoid going home because I knew the second I walked through that door I was in for a fight I could not win. The way it normally went was I would come home and my mother would lay into me, then my drunken father would start beating me and my mother would stand by and watch. My father would throw me through doors, into radiators and even loosened teeth by punching me in a drunken rage. Then my mother would come in and tell me it was all my fault that it happened. Even to this day she blamed me for when my brother tried to kill us. She said it was my fault for not giving him money for his drugs.   It was only after I was bigger than my father that things quit being physically abusive and things seem to settle down but I was still getting drunk all the time. They were still abusive but in a different way, they started using words and controlling behaviors. So again I would be gone with friends doing things I should not be doing. The vast majority of my childhood friends are in jail or have been in jail. And I should have been right there with them because I was drinking, fighting and just being a person no one wanted to be around. I was mean in my younger years, not just mean spirited but probably one of the meanest people I have ever met. And it is a struggle not to go back to being a mean person. And that is why I do not drink. It is because I say and do things that a normal person would not do. Most people who had an upbringing like mine do not turn out normal. I will say that I am far from normal and do have quite a few quirks and skeletons but all my adult life I have fought because I wanted to be one thing, not like my parents, and that fight goes on to this very day. There are people on the board who have seen first hand how my parents act towards me and how insane they are in their actions.   Something else, I do not remember my father ever saying he loved me, ever. And when I was getting ready to go overseas I went to visit him and when I tried to give him a hug goodbye he walked away and didn't say a word, no goodbye, no see you later just a cold shoulder. He cannot stand me and probably has more hatred for me today than the day my mother squirted me out. He probably sees me as the person who ruined the plans he had made for his own life. My parents have done nothing for me other than try to make my life miserable but they did do one thing, ensure I would do everything in my power to not be like them.   I do not say these things to trivialize what you are going through. I say them as proof that anyone can overcome anything as long as they work at it. And I am sure there are plenty of members here who have their own stories of adversity where they worked hard to overcome them. Your story is not new nor it is unique but you can overcome it. Trust me when I say you can be successful, it just takes some effort. It takes work, sometimes work where you don't get paid in money but work none the less, to get ahead in life. Personally I do not know you nor do I honestly give a crap about whether you stay with her or not but at this point anything you decide to do you need to do for you, not her or anyone else. If I had not decided to do something for myself I would probably be drunk and poor living in a singlewide trying to figure out what happened to my life. Instead I worked hard and got ahead. If life were meant to be easy what fun would it be when you win at life.   As far as what Sam said I am not as bad off as it could have been but I am worse than it sometimes appears. I piss myself every day, it is a fact of life since my accident. I spend most days laying in bed. My wife helps me get bathed and dressed. I sometimes have to walk with crutches but I also understand it could be a lot worse. My legs randomly quit working, if I am lucky the fall is a soft one but most cases it only makes the other things worse. I am still having issues from a fall a few months ago. I had a friend out this weekend. Spent a few hours helping him out and fought every second trying not to show how bad my back was bothering me. After he left I felt a sense of relief because I could finally get off my feet and go back to bed. And the other hope was that maybe he didn't see the pain in my eyes. I spent the rest of that day and the next two days in bed. It was only yesterday that I finally was able to finally feel well enough to get out of bed. I will tell you that I do hate my crutches, hate them more than anything in this world, because they are proof I am weak and I try to avoid using them until it is unbearable. Some days that threshold is minutes and some days I might get a few hours without them but I will ALWAYS need them. You do not know pain until you have someone else put your underwear on for you. I could belly ache about all this all the time but it does not good. I have tried wallowing in my own misery and trust me when I say it doesn't help at all.

  45. You'd think that a creature able to dig itself out of a coffin that is sealed and locked......then a concrete or steel vault........then the remaining packed earth .....could beat down a door or break a window by itself.

  46. You know, logic would dictate that as long as they have a clear path of egress, the zombies would quickly vacate their cemetery's making the graveyard the safest place in a zombie apocalypse.

  47. Here’s what I’d keep protected:   Tablet/smart phone and e-book, pre-loaded with Topographic maps, first-aid info, edible plant guide, etc. AM, FM, and shortwave emergency radio receiver Wristwatch Hand-held Ham Radios Flashlights and batteries Laptop computer Solar power panel (which will charge at least some of these electronics)   I understand that the phone network and internet may not work, but if the equipment itself is intact, they will still be extremely valuable resources – worth protecting if possible.
