  1. Thank you so very much, sir. I truly would’ve never been able to put that together on my own. Gosh, I also feel like such a dummy that it didn’t occur to me at all that you were only seeking to purchase from an individual (truly, I only wished to aide you in your search) but, of course that is why most of us are here in the first place! It’s the way purchasing firearms should be in the rest of this country; hassle free. Thank you again, truly, for both your kindness, and your patience with a new member - I will not forget it sir.
  2. I’ll give this one a try, since it’s got just as good a chance of working as any of the other suggestions (I made a funny!), possibly. Without knowing any more details about how the phone is set up, I can only offer up some generalizations, but the culprit is likely the browser settings on your phone. Try clearing the history, cookies, cache, etc. I’m just going on an assumption that you’re using the included, default browsing app for the iPhone (if it’s even is an iphone…I’m deducing this from your mention of having an iPad, but certainly isn’t a given), which is the Safari browser. If clearing those didn’t help, try downloading/installing an altogether different web browser from the App Store on your phone and trying that (and use only default settings)….if you find that you can login using chrome then you’ll know for 100% that it’s one of the settings (security or privacy, perhaps) within Safari that’ll need to be changed…then you can narrow it down by comparing the settings for the working browser until you find the culprit, afterwards you could uninstall the second browser that you used for testing, or keep it if you like, whatever. I hope this helps…if you find that you still have an issue, maybe do a reply where you give some more details (the devil is always there!) such as phone OS, browser app, whether or not this has always been the case, are you unable to login to only this specific site only, are you able to login but just cannot post, have you tried it on a computer and if so did it work….there are so many variables that, if known, can literally be a roadmap to follow straight to the issue.
  3. Thank you for that little nugget, sir.
  4. I joined up here hoping to offload just enough stuff to convince the wife to stay with me but I find myself so anxious about screwing up that I cannot bring myself to post anything for sale….well, that and I can’t bear the thought of parting with any of it.
  5. Fellas I just can’t explain to y’all just how much I’ve enjoyed checking in throughout today, Resurrection Sunday, and reading these great replies…and, speaking as someone who spent two decades reading posts but never speaking, I know that there will have been many others who will have received edification simply by reading what’s been posted by you others! I sincerely thank you as I have truly received a rich, rich blessing from you; I needed it so very badly. Bless y’all! Those fellers who left Scripture for us, I thank you especially as God clearly told us that His Word never returns to Him null and void (excuse my paraphrasing), and that’s something that literally has my arm hairs standing straight up right now; that’s POWER, brothers! I honestly hope that everyone had a great and wonderful Easter, and, though we go back to the old salt mine tomorrow, it’s my genuine desire that the joy of this glorious day energizes us all as we labor on through the week. I truly feel like I’m going to end up with some good friends for life here among my like-minded fellow Tennesseans…y’all have a great week!
  6. Hello there. I believe I’m too new yet to be able to send a message to you, and I apologize, but I wanted to say there’s this great shop up in Indiana that offers the style revolver you mentioned at a super price and quite regularly. The are pd trade ins and they have new offerings 3-4 times per month and what I really like is they only charge you like 15 for shipping and zero tax (on ammo, mags, you name it) , I’ve purchased over 200 used Glock mags from here and I’ve had about 6 ever that had some sharpee markings on them but all 200 have been perfect quality and condition, as have been the four trade in Glock handguns I’ve bought there as well. i was shocked (and altogether suspicious) the first time I bought one of the used firearms, as it was a Glock 19 g4 with the night sights listed for $445. After entering FFL info I paid a total of $460 and I picked it up 3 days later and I honestly thought they had made a mistake and sent me a brand new one due to its condition (a q-tip ran thru chamber was clean!)….so much so I was overcome by guilt/anxiety and called to speak with them to make up the difference. They assured me it was no mistake and that most of them are traded in just like what I had experienced. I’ve been hooked every since. https://www.recoilgunworks.com/police-trades Its just a suggestion, of course, and forgive me for intruding on your posting, please. PS What does “bump” mean, used in the previous posts above? Does it just mean “still accepting offer”? I truly don’t know for certain.
  7. Hadn’t heard that term in an age! Do you reckon Darwin had anything to do with the creation of this ‘game’? Sure went a long ways toward demonstrating the “Survival of the Fittest” paradigm, from what I remember. A little girl down the road from me when I was a kid got to wear one as a hat; very much so against her will, as y’all might guess. It penetrated the skull and must’ve nestled itself into a section of her brain that controlled her speech because thereafter she had a very pronounced (no pun intended, but enjoyed all the same) speech impediment, but was fine otherwise. Those things were literally missiles in the hands of unsupervised children, and an accident waiting to happen. Was there even an actual “game”? All we ever did was see which of us boys could throw it the highest.
  8. The Stone that the builders rejected…. ‘The Lion of the Tribe of Judah… The Root of David… The Word of God… - Thank you so much! It’s wonderful indeed to read y’all’s words this morning and I just thank you so much. I know beyond doubt that there will always be those here that have yet to bend the knee to Baal…and what an encouragement that is to hear today! Oh Happy Day!!!
  9. I’ve just came in from looking at a spectacularly beautiful moon on this cool night and it just give me the chills. I thought of how silent that night was when the Lord lay in that old stone cold, borrowed tomb…His pierced body lay there just biding the time until He took it up again - and looking up tonight at that big bright moon I wondered if ol Satan was celebrating, truly believing that he had actually won, and did he hold that title deed to the Earth up and shake it in defiance? ………. Tsk tsk tsk! That pride, that fallen, wicked pride! After the pride…then the fall! Boys, when that sun rises this morning, I’ll be waiting for it! Wooo I’ll be waiting for it! Oh brothers y’all KNOW Jesus was a waitin for it! That stone was rolled away and He come on up outta there! Oh Death! Where IS thy sting!? VICTORY! VICTORY! Who is worthy to take the scroll, to break the seven seals on the title deed to the Earth??? The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ answers this in Chapter 5 (aka “Rev-layshuns Five” to us hillbillies); Rev 5, v1-14 Read it and weep! I sure did…still weepin over what I read in that teeny chapter! Tears of joy! Old Scratch will be weepin too, after that scene, oh but them tears are gonna be bitter tears of anguish and resentment. He thought that he could rise above the Uncreated One and he failed. Good. Come up the sun! It’s Resurrection Sunday today and I feel like shouting to the mountains, and since they’re in my back yard, heck why not? I’m new here to the site and I’ma trying to get my posting in so I can be an active member/contributor because I’ve got a bunch of ammunition and some guns that I’m going to hafta part with, much to my utter chagrin I might add. I make no apologies for what I’ve written, because it’s what I believe and it’s what I have written on my heart - corrupt, blackened, and shriveled cholesterol pump that it is! My heart. Mine. This old boy! I’m not trying to tell anyone what they have to have in their own heart because that is your prerogative. If what I just wrote offends you, well, feel free to flame me, but it won’t do you a bit of good (plus I might not sell you some of my reasonably priced pew pew, either) because I’m not going to engage in any back-and-forth…I just ain’t gonna. We’re Tennesseans here and we should all no better’n that kinda foolishness no how. I just wanted to share how I was feeling with my new friends and now I’ve done that. Whatever this very special day means to y’all, I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful time of it…maybe it’s with your family, your friends, your pets, but however, what ever, and with whom ever - I just want to wish everyone that EVER reads this (even if it’s deleted after one read by a moderator): to YOU I say Happy Easter! I hope that it’s a wonderful day, a safe day, and a special day! I hope it’s just the greatest and I mean that.
  10. Hey there fellers. I’ve had two metal detectors for about 5 years now that I bought for the kids and I don’t think they ever touched them again, despite both of them each finding a silver dollar in our back yard! Yes, it’s really the truth…I should know since I’m the one who ‘buried’ the suckers. Go figure. They’re currently buried under a bunch of crud in my garage but I can still see enough of them to tell you that they are bright yellow in color with a display that says “Ground EFX” (or possibly vice versa) in raised lettering just above the display. There are several grey buttons that run along the bottom of the display which I believe they’re used for kinda tuning it. I got them at a pawn shop but I can’t remember if I paid $5 for them or a couple hundred….but, knowing myself, I would place my bets towards the cheap end of the scale. Does this sound familiar to any of y’all…so far as recognizing them is concerned? I let a friend borrow one of the for a weekend that lasted 2 years and when he finally returned it he told me that he never got around to using it! Hahaha at least he brought it back I reckon, not that I’ve used it either though…but I’ve always wanted to, and still would if a decent opportunity were to present itself. I’d love to find some minie balls from a battle site or something neat like that. Gosh wouldn’t that be something! Heck, maybe I could give these to some of those folks mentioned by Mr. Freedom in the previous post - the ones who have the will but just not the way? Unless they’re just a couple of yellow turds, that is (my equipment, not the folks), because the last thing I’d ever want to do is make things harder for them when I’m trying to help….although I’ve been known to manage even that before!
  11. Why thank you, sir! Thank you very much indeed. When I saw your avatar, at first (and being altogether ignorant about horse breeds), I thought perhaps I was gazing upon the very horse that belonged to one of the greatest Generals ever to grace this land (and my very favorite), the much beloved ‘Little Sorrel’. I realize my mistake but would love to know whom it depicts, both horse and rider, if you’re willing to indulge me, please. I admit my knowledge of horses are quite limited to the aforementioned, the indomitable ‘Traveller’, and ‘Bucephalus’, haha. I’ve always sought for quality over quantity, as I’m sure you probably picked up on! This place is great - I’ve so enjoyed he interesting topics and knowledgeable contributors as I’ve been devouring the older site content over the last week, and have certainly been impressed by the kindness and fellowship that’s been expressed from others since coming aboard! Thanks ever so mych
  12. Greetings to you, sir, from all the way over the other end of the state! Say hello to the mighty Mississippi for me! I’m glad to meet you!
  13. Greetings! Savannah is a beautiful little old town - especially there by the river! I’m new here as well and would like to say hello and, with such an interesting background, I look forward to hearing your insight, especially those regarding your area of expertise/experience! Best wishes
  14. Thank you, sir. My first job way back in high school (that didn’t involve hay or tobacco) was at Dollywood in 1991. I lived in Walland at the time, but could make the drive into work in 25min, and that was during tourist season. I live in Sevierville now and can’t even come close to that. I realize that might sound like selective memory, lol, considering the amount of time that’s passed, but it’s one of those things I’ll never forget, thanks to my good old Dad, may God rest his soul. He had argued with me that I was driving too far for work, and gave me the ultimatum that if I couldn’t give him a call from there within a half hour from the time I left the house, then I would need to find other employment…so when I called him at the 25min mark from the Showstreet Palace, he relented. As an aside, I would like to make a suggestion to any parents of young drivers that might read this: I do NOT recommend challenging your children to such an ultimatum! Dad obviously overlooked the error, but I was highly motivated by the seemingly endless selection of beautiful young ladies there at work, and would’ve pushed my tired little old car well beyond its limitations in order to keep that job!
  15. Thank you, sir. Nice to meet you
  16. Hello there, I’m very new here but getting older elsewhere! I just wanted to try and give you some advice, just in case your trip “west” ain’t Memphis! The reference to hiking (as opposed to running for your life) leads me to think that you’re speaking of the American West, and if so, here’s my advice: take them BOTH! If you come face to face with a Grizzly (God forbid), you’re going to need all the help you can get. I’ve been on several guided backcountry hikes in Idaho & Montana and they like you to have a large caliber rifle and a handgun serves in a backup role. For a day hike on a managed trail it’s really whatever you feel the most comfortable with. My rule of thumb is to always make sure that you’re able to outrun at least one other person!
  17. Today I made my first online forum posting, despite being 45 years of age. I’ve read many a post, but have never participated before. To be honest, these things intimidate the fool out of me. I’ve got no idea what many of these tabs are about, except for bold and font. I fear that I’ll never have anything slick to post…it’ll probably just be vanilla for me, and that’s just fine really. I just hope I stick with it long enough to make some new friends and, hopefully, zero enemies! I guess I should introduce myself now. I’ve lived in East Tennessee my entire life, born and raised, and have a family myself - a 16yr old son and 14yr old daughter. Lord, be with me, please. I grew up in Walland mainly, and have also lived in Maryville, Seymour, Townsend, Rockwood, Alcoa, Louisville, and Oakdale. I call Sevierville home now, but, sadly, I don’t see myself staying here much longer due to the massive influx of Damned Yankees. If I sound a bit prejudiced, well, it’s because I am! Please don’t misunderstand me…I’m all for people fleeing government overreach and tyrannical tax rates, nor do I mind sharing the beauty of the ‘Greenest State in the Land of the Free’, what I take issue with is that our way of life is being belittled, stepped on, and ultimately destroyed. Goodness I could go on and on but I guess I had better not wear out my welcome in my first day. I’m sorry, I guess I’m just getting old and those precious values that I used to take for granted would always be here are disappearing and I just hate to see it because it’s one of the things that made being a Tennessean so dang special and now, like all good things, I see it starting to fade and it scares me in a way. Let me try this one more time. My name is Jeff, I’m a 45 year old man. I really enjoy firearms, heck I love them if I’m honest. I own many, but not too many that I can’t take each one apart, clean it, check it, and store it within a few weeks I’d say. I’m not partial to any one manufacturer, I do prefer American but own several that ain’t. I really enjoy the fit and finish as much as I do making them go bang…I find that to be more and more the case the older I get. I’ve worked with metals and machinery since my first job, just over 30yr ago now, and I’m certain that has a lot to do with it. I’m a Christian, although terribly backslidden, but I hope I’m able to clear that up one of these days…I’m just very thankful that He is merciful….and longsuffering! Looking forward to it….hope I haven’t already blown it!
