It ain't the years, its the mileage.

My odometer has done rolled over at least twice and I got the scars to prove it.

I'm 69 and feel every day of it.

There was a PoFolks near my house. We ate there fairly regularly. Loved their Chicken fried steak with Red beans & rice.

You had a pager? I had to be careful if I got out of hollering distance.

When I was growing up, my Grandparents still had a pipe well with a rope and bucket and used an outhouse. Kids today wouldn't even know what the Sears catalog was for.

And you had these for night use.

A millennial would absolutely freak out if they had to use these!

"Son, its time we had a talk about sex."

"Sure Dad. What do you wanna know?"

So who is to blame in this incident?

I think ultimate responsibility falls on Chief C.J. Davis. She created the Scorpion Unit and turned them loose without proper supervision. She allowed this to happen on her watch. Memphis City Council has delayed her re-appointment under the new mayor. I believe she won't get her job back. Frankly, I hope she doesn't.

Personally, I'd prefer we all just gather at a restaurant or such where can can relax, talk and get to know each other. But I'm open to just about anything. I'd really like to meet the local TGOers.

As I've said before, nobody seems to want to take the lead and organize some type of meet. I'm no good at such things. Anybody wanna take charge?

We all make mistakes. Sometimes you find yourself having to break down those mistakes with a hammer type bullet puller. Forget about that irritating spring loaded case holder that comes with it. Instead, use the shell holder from your die set. It fits perfectly in the hammer, is fast and easy to use.

I spoke to my son today. He told me that while in waiting, the nurse tried to call the doctor at least 3 times. No response.

My son tried to call the doctor's office after he got home. They kept transferring him to the scheduling desk and all he got there was an answering machine. We still have no idea why the doctor didn't show.

My son has a long list of people he'll start calling Monday morning.

This is way overdue and needs to be changed.

He is a stupid kid that inserted himself into a situation he never should have been in. Luckily for him he got away with it.

Exactly. I have no interest in how he wants to spin it.

I wish it was that simple. The doctor was paid several weeks ago and the charge has already cleared. The hospital did their part perfectly. I have no reason or grounds to challenge their charges. Hell, I want that damned doctor to pay him back for that!

To make a very long story short as possible, my oldest son (44) is diabetic. He's been having serious problems with his right foot for about 6 months. Several surgeries to remove infected tissue and has to constantly be on a wound vacuum. He can barely get around and has multiple doctor's visits every week, plus any normal running around he needs done. I'm his driver.
Today he was supposed to have skin grafts put on his open wounds. This was to be the last step to getting him straightened out. Just a couple of weeks for this to heal and he'd be good to go.
This was to be performed by a Plastic Surgeon. New doctor for him. We only saw this guy twice to schedule surgery. Frankly, he didn't seem real interested. He did insist on a $1200 down payment. Which my son paid.
Because its the first of the year and due to my son's insurance and deductible, he had to pay the hospital $2800 in advance.
Today was the day. We showed up a little early. The hospital did their part just fine. THE DAMNED DOCTOR DIDN'T SHOW UP! Not a call or nothing. He just never arrived!
My son and I are both beyond pissed off!!!!
We have filed a formal complaint with the hospital. But we can't blame them. They did their part and quite well too.

My question is what can we do about this? Who do we file complaints with? What action can be taken? And then there's the $4000 he's out! What about that?
Any and all opinions/ options welcome.

I love .22s. I've got more .22s that I can keep up with. Rifles, handguns and .22 conversion units for centerfire guns. Easy to shoot, accurate and just plain fun! What else can you take to the range and spend hours for about the cost of one box of centerfire ammo?

I'd love to see it pass. But as pointed out, its highly unlikely.

I have one. Not much to look at, but completely reliable and combat accurate. Good gun.

Norincos were used as a base for many very nice custom guns because they were so cheap. Yeah, the steel is very hard. I've also heard the old railroad track rumors. I've also heard that if the custom job included any mill work that the gunsmith would add the cost of a new cutter bit as the steel would ruin the one he used.

I originally bought mine with the idea of customizing it. But then it occurred to me that there aren't many box stock Norinco 1911s left out there. So I left it alone.

Buy it and be sure to post pictures.

Appears to be a very early prank pic. Trick photography has been around since the invention of the camera.

No, but it pays for a lot of them.

I have one of the EP9 pistols and have been very happy with it. No major issues at all. The mags in mine tend to go in a tiny bit too much and feed lips will block the bolt. However, if you get in the habit of inserting the mag and then giving it a slight downward tug, it works just fine. Probably just my gun.

You should also add a forward grip of some type. After a couple of mag dumps the handguard tends to get a bit warm.

Accuracy and reliability have been excellent. Overall, I think its a great bargain for the price.

I guess we're in just the right place. Temps have remained below freezing, but the sun has been bright and working overtime. In my neighborhood driveways and sidewalks are now clean and so is much of the street.

I haven't gone anywhere, so no idea what the rest of the city is like.

When the General said "now I will fire full semi automatic" I lost it.

Most of the current Generals got there by playing politics. Not by being warriors.
