    WHY?

    I don't go anyplace out side my house that I am not armed. Back before I moved out here to the sticks and lived in Gallatin. I had neighbors that got robbed at gunpoint or knife point while grilling their family supper and another while cutting his lawn. These things took place in broad daylight. I went to my mail box once and had a car with 3 people in it come to an almost stop and I lifted my shirt to reach for my gun and the car sped off. This was about 1 PM in the day. If I go shopping and pick out a store to shop in, if they have a gun buster sign up I shop elsewhere. If they don't want my gun I don't want to give them my money. Now as for Church I use to attend a church 1 block from my house and many times I would walk on nice days with my gun concealed. That Church is now 44 miles away so I don't attend Church any longer. I did hear on the news the other night that all religious places of Worship need to be on high alert right now as they are targets with what is going on in Israel and the Christmas holidays. The said places of all faiths are targets but Jewish and Muslim are on highest alert.
  2. I have no use for Hillary for sure but I am waiting to see that Hanoi Jane has joined Henry. They make a good team!!!!!.....JMHO
  3. I enjoy watching quiz shows on TV and one of the prizes they give away is an all expenses 5 day trip to Vietnam and the winners are jumping for joy! I bet none of them winners are vets!!!.....JMHO
  4. I can't write anything except he was the reason we were there so long instead of trying to get us out sooner and was the reason for the mess in Saigon when we were trying to get out.
  5. Yea I'm trying to give Rosie a good life since the only thing she was used for was breeding and when she was no longer good for that they were going to put her down so I'm spoiling her as much as I can. I found out last year that she has a heart condition and has to take medication twice a day and the Vet has put her on a diet and I have to buy special food for her that costs $50.00 for 12 cans which is about $100.00 a month and her meds are $62.00 a month but I will spend what ever it costs as long as she is happy. She also loves all the attention I can give her and she soaks it up like a sponge. I found out that the breeder does not show her dogs any affection at all because they are not pets according to her. I noticed when I first got her that she would cower down when I would try and pet her like she was abused and it took me about 2 months to get her out of that so now when I pet her it seems to never be enough now...lol.
  6. I had at least one dog in my life since age 6 and most of them were or are rescue dogs. The last 2 where some type of terriers which 1 of them I had for 18 years and she was rescued by me from a big wild yellow Tomcat that had stole her from a litter somewhere and was going to make a meal of it until a 22lr ended that. Animal control had been trying to trap it without success so when I had the chance I took it and I thought it had a rat but it turned out to be a newborn puppy that I ended up bottle feeding and buying doggie milk at 10 bucks a can which the Vet set me up with all the stuff I needed. I had animal control come out and collect the dead cat and all their cage traps they had set around my house. The guy thanked me for killing the cat as he was getting complaints from everyone in the neighborhood about it. I named her Kasey and I had her for 18 years and lost her to heart failure. It was like losing a Child and I still have her on top of my TV console. I had her cremated and placed in an urn. About 3 months a friend of mine brought a dog to me that could have been Kasey's sister in appearance and he had to find a home for her because he was moving and the new place didn't allow pets. Her name was Darby and I took her in. I only had her about 3 years and lost her to kidney Failure and I have her on my TV console also. Now for present time I have a best friend name Rosie and my daughter was doing Home Health Care and one of her patients was a breeder of Basset Hounds and she had a 5 year old that she could no longer breed and was going to have her put down and my daughter sent me a picture of her and I told her to get her so she told the woman that her father was Rosie so they made arrangements to get her to me. I still have her and she is now almost 8 years old and spoiled rotten.
  7. I live alone with my hound and keep my doors locked. My son in law and daughter asked me why do I lock my door when their house is only 50 feet in front of my house and I said yea and you both work and I am home alone most of the day. If the bad guys come to my house I will call 911 and if the bad guy leave fine and if they don't 911 better send an ambulance with the police. The front house was burglarized before I moved here and now they have motion cameras in their house that alerts them on their phones if one is tripped.
  8. My daughter and son in law use to ask me why I keep my doors locked when they live 50 feet away in a house in front of mine. I said yea, you live in front but both of you work and are gone most of everyday which leaves me home alone. Their house was burglarized back years ago before I moved here and now they have cameras all over inside the house that shows on their phones if one is triggered and they can call the police. If the bad guy shows up at my door I will call 911 and the bad guys can either leave or 911 better send a ambulance with the police.
  9. I can remembering 1 time about a shooting back years ago that a woman spoke up a day or 2 after a shooting done by a husband and wife team that shot up a bunch of folks at a office Christmas party and later that day got in a shootout with Police and Feds and both got killed. The woman said she thought something was going on next store as people where coming and going all night the night before but she said she didn't want to get involved. Her not getting involved cost 11 people their lives. If she would have just made 1 call those people would have lived. I still say, "If you see something say something!" and let the police sort it out!......JMHO
  10. The Bowling Ally was having kids night and that was one of his targets he hit. The authorities have not mentioned any children shot or dead so he must have targeted adults!!!! I'm sure with this guys background I bet the Police are hoping he has gone off in the woods and popped a cap in his head rather than get in a shootout with him.........JMHO
  11. Gerald Tommaso DeLouise passed away on October 8th. He was famous for his roll in the Rocky movies as Rocky's father in law as Paulie.
  12. I think last weekend has made this October one that will go down in history!
  13. I grew up mostly eating what I was able to hunt so wild game was on the menu quit often. My mother was a great a cook and she made what ever I bagged and cleaned taste great. I guess my favorite was snapping turtle. It could be prepared several different ways and I liked all of them. It's been years since I have had any but I can still remember how good it was. I have never had Lamb.
  14. Back years ago I caught the Hong Kong flu and it was as sick as I have ever been in my life and very contageous. I worked with 5 other guys and even though I went home in half a day I managed to give it to all the other guys. I was down for 2 days and then I managed to give it to my wife and two boys. I learned that it affects all folks differently. My wife and 2 boys were down with it for about 10 days while I managed to shake it in about 4 days but it affected all my buddies at work differently also. I went back to work on day 2 as they has to close the shop and I was able to at least meet with customers to tell them why the shop was closed and after about 6 days we were able to open back up. Like I said, that is the sickest I have ever been and I get a Flu shot every year now.
  15. I had1 male bird on a feeder 2 days ago and he fed up well before leaving but not seen any since. I will probably take the feeders down on Halloween and wash them for next year and start the seed bird feeders.
  16. The day is coming that no store or company will accept cash. There are some that have already stopped accepting cash for payment.
  17. Is anyone here concerned about this new digital dollar banking system the Feds are working on ?
  18. WELL, I have filled my feeders for this season for the last time last night. I want to make sure the travelers have plenty to eat in their journey south. I will begin watching for the leaves to begin turning to Fall and start getting the seed feeders ready to go.
  19. Well, I went out this morning and had one bird come and snack and the feeders are about empty so I think they are feeding early and then fly back up in the trees and are resting up for the long trip. I just made my last batch of food and I will fill all my feeders tonight for the travelers and when the migration is over I will switch over to my seed feeders for the winter.
  20. They are already in the walls but so far all that I have found dead are in the middle of a floor and going under the floor won't happen as the house is built on concrete slab.
  21. I thought I had got rid of all my issues but I had a sticky trap get dragged across my kitchen floor last night and what ever it was got loose from it by going between chair legs at my table. I will put a few tablets out today for a snack for the critter and hope it comes back.
  22. I went out this morning and sat for an hour and only had 2 birds come and feed but it was more like a snack than a meal. They spent about 3 minutes and were gone. All of my feeders are half full was gonna make more today but gonna let them empty what is in them first. I will make 1 more batch and fill all the feeders for the migration and the birds passing through and then be done for the year. Once the leaves change and begin to fall I will get ready for the seed feeders and I start seeing the Doves I have that show up every fall/winter. I normally have about 15 Doves every year. The last couple years I have had 1 Red Wing Black bird that shows up with the Doves. He lives about 1 mile away in a pond with Cattails. My neighbor sees him around the pond all Summer.
  23. Tomcat Bait Chunks and they sell it at CO-OP stores. It says it works outdoors also. My neighbor uses it in his chicken house and storage building where he stores his animal foods.
  24. The Professional guy put these little boxes of poison that the mouse has to go in to get the poison. I looked at one of the boxes and the holes for the mice will not work on my mice cause they are to big. I don't have normal house mice. I have field Mice that look like small rats. He gave me 10 sticky mats to put around and when one of the big ones get stuck they have figured out how to get off the darn things. I was talking to my neighbor about my problem and he said he can help and he went home and came back with some tablets about the size of table spoon and about 2 inches thick. He told me to put them where I put the Decon tablets and I did and two days later I found two dead critters and in a week I had found 11 dead critters and quit seeing anymore. I offered to pay my neighbor for the stuff but he refused and said they sell it at CO-OP by the pail. Tommy and Moe ( daughter) was having a similar issue so I gave him about 8 pellets and in about 4 days they began finding dead critters. Tommy went and bought a bucket of the stuff so we now have plenty and no critters.
