I love my job. I won't be able to buy that mansion on the hill while making $40,000 a year, but I enjoy my job and the company itself couldn't be better to us. I'm extra happy now that I've gone to four 10 hour days, and I was lucky enough to draw Fridays off.

Fire Arm Firearm Sorry, but I couldn't help myself. Carry on.

I thought this event was as good as one could expect for an inaugural run of such a show. As I expected, the focus was obviously on quality over quantity. I've been to gun shows all over the country, and don't recall ever having the opportunity to speak with actual manufacturer Representatives from the type of vendors attending this show. That is a huge deal, IMHO. I always have tons of questions when in the market for certain items, and it doesn't get any better than receiving answers directly from the horses mouth. I'm sure such direct information from the Reps goes a long way when it's time to make a purchase. I think the next events would greatly benefit by having more vendors dealing in firearms related accessories, used items, and vendors who deal in some less-expensive models of firearms and related items. Not everyone can afford the high-end goodies. Although I'm sure there are good reasons for choosing the event venue/location, I do know this was a reason for many deciding against making such a trek. I passed out a large number of flyers to many of my customers in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Many have always been willing to make the trip to Nashville and surrounding areas for gun shows, but almost all --if not all-- thought Winchester was too far of a drive. And these are people with money to spend. All-in-all, I was glad I made the trip. I didn't have much money to spend, but didn't feel it was a waste of gas money, either. A huge Thanks to David and Joe (and anyone else involved) for having the balls to make such an effort towards changing "gun shows" as we knew it. I have full confidence that this event will continue to grow and become what you've envisioned.

I know Galco makes some, because that's what I had. IIRC, they were in the $60-$70 range. I ordered mine from Optics Planet.

Are all those busses for bringing in the cheap mexican labor?

Where they are built? What is the percentage of domestic parts content? What percentage of profits stay in the US? Just a few things to consider when attempting to buy an "American Made" vehicle. When some "domestic" (example: Mustange and Subrban) automakers have a much smaller percentage of domestic parts content than some "foreign" automakers, it's not always an easy decision. The fact that the US automakers are closing plants and cutting jobs in the US while foreign automakers are building plants and hiring American workers doesn't help either.

Welcome to TGO! Enjoy your stay!

He's contemplating suicide after all those promises he was throwing around.

Exactly what I thought.

No snow in Hendersonville.

That must really suck. One less kid in your house. I would be very bummed if I were you.

Like I said, John Daly is entertaining.

It's similar to the Wal-Mart complex -- it's not easy being the King.

Thanks! I haven't come accross his farm during my searches. The one I've been looking at is B&W Cattle Company in Greenbrier. They also offer all-natural beef, which is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find his number. Thanks again.

Yea, keeping my own garden and rasing chickens probably wouldn't make me the most popular neighbor in the complex. With any luck, I'll be buying a house after the first of the year, so a garden should be workable. Does your friend currently have pork available for sale? Any idea of cuts, prices, etc? I've been able to find a couple farms in or near Sumner County that do beef, and plan on going in on 1/2 cow with a friend of mine. Looks like that will have to wait until they have some available in May. I've also found a couple farms in Sumner County that also do fresh chickens and eggs. Who knows how all this will turn out, but I like the idea of eating meats that haven't been pumped full of antibiotics, hormones and dyes. Plus, helping local farmers can't be a bad thing.

If anyone is interested, I found this helpful site. Local Harvest / Farmers Markets / Family Farms / CSA / Organic Food It lists tons of farms, co-ops, farmers markets, etc in your area. I've been able to find beef, fruits & vegetable, chicken, eggs, lamb, farms very close to Hendersonville. I could only find one all-natural beef farm listed in my area, but if I understand their site correctly, the won't be selling any more beef until May. Being a Yankee, I had no idea they didn't sell beef year-round. That's interesting. There's also a wait on the fruits and vegetable, for obvious reasons.

Congrats! I recently got a Palm Pre. I love it. Enjoy!

I haven't spoken with my mother in about 8 years. The decision would be rather simple for me.

No first-hand experience, but a friend who tried them only lasted 2 months. His main complaints: -Accessing the Internet sucks. -Customer Service was often difficult to reach, and were nearly worthless when you could. He said it would often take upwards of 30 minutes to get someone on the phone. Listening to their broken English was a bigger pain that the crappy service, he said. -Service was not very good in rural areas. -Text messages would often be very slow or never get delivered. -And like someone else mentioned, he quickly got sick of all the ghettoness, like their phones were marketed for 15-year-olds.

Anyone ever shopped at Whole Foods? Any reviews? I would rather buy locally, if possible. I'm more or less trying to see about buying foods that don't contain pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, etc.

Not sure if I can do this long-term, but I'm thinking about trying only organic foods, or as much as I can. Are there any places (stores/farmers/etc) that sell all/mostly organic foods? Fruits, vegetables, beef, chicken, fish, etc?

Congrats!
