I watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife again a few days ago and found a small hole in the writing. Ray is talking about how Egon leaving NYC and taking the gear left them high and dry. He's ranting and says something like "we even had to sell the firehouse. <pause> It's a Starbucks now." which is a pretty funny line.

But they're back in the firehouse in the new GB: Frozen Empire and it's exactly how they left it, not a Starbucks. 

I bet you count gunshots in westerns and call BS when they fire 13 shots from a six-shooter too, huh? LOL 
Just kidding, I didn't pick up on that, but you're right. 

[Bullet lube]

I tried Lee Alox and it worked good...far less lead deposits. I haven't heard of anyone making their own bullet lube. I switched to powder coated bullets before I used up the Lee Alox that I had, so I'm curious to see what you find as a substitute in case the zombies come and I have to resort to scavenging wheel weights.

Wow, looks great and that's the cheapest prices I've seen yet for optic cuts.

better than ghostbusters 2? i really enjoyed that one. HE IS VIGO!

I liked the 2nd one too, but this was even better IMO. I'm sure you already know this from the trailers, so it's not a spoiler...all the familiar faces that are still alive appeared in this one. It was a great thrill.

Didn’t sleep good with all the hoses, I felt constricted. Mainly I had a bad feeling that it was going to be very costly ,and the insurance wasn’t helping much.Just not in the mood for all that right now.

I hear ya, my wife didn't bail soon enough. Like you, she hated the sleep study and the mask/hoses, but went through with it anyway. I guess she thought she'd adapt, but it never happened. She ended up returning the machine, but was out a lot of money for her share of all the costs. It's certainly not for everyone.

Ghostbusters: Frozen was really good. My wife and I took our grandson to see it on opening day. He's a huge fan and the movie did not disappoint. It's definitely the 2nd best in the series after the original.

I did the sleep study last night at home, took the stuff back too them today. Decided to pull out and not go any further with it. Just wasted $400 I guess.

Mind if I ask what happened to make you pull out?

The Sleep Center in M'boro is where I first went. I didn't like my sleep doctor, but I liked the staff and the facility in general. They setup a VERY generous payment plan that included the study and the machine. I paid $30/month until I could afford to pay the remaining lump sum (around $1800 total). I took that offer as that was all I could afford at the time and aside from quitting smoking, it was the best health decision I ever made. I was literally about to lose my job for dozing off at work. I had no clue I quit breathing 87 times per hour.

My new sleep doc upgraded me to a modern cpap machine a couple of years ago and the total cost of the machine was about $700. The DME company that supplied it let me pay it off in small monthly payments. 

My best piece of advice is to let them fit you for a mask, but buy it on Amazon. The DME will say you need a prescription to buy a mask but it's a lie. I buy masks, hoses, filters, etc on Amazon exclusively w/out an Rx.

At some point I discovered I would sleep better without it so I quit using it.  I had lost some weight and my Doctor said that can actually cure sleep apnea.  I did quit with my Doctor’s approval.

That's awesome, way to go! And super cool of you to offer it to someone else in need.

I got an upgrade through my insurance due to the age of my old CPAP. I was going to throw out the old one because it was part of that big cancer foam recall. Turns out they replaced it, so I have 2 (one for downstairs naps in my recliner and one for bed). 

I've offered my spare to friends/family who suspect they need one. My brother-in-law took me up on it and saw a doc about getting his own after only 2 days of using it. When his came in, he returned mine and he lived happily ever after. It's definitely a game changer for most.

[Baltimore Bridge Collapse]

I predict our tax dollars will fund the rebuild and construction will be complete before we get one red cent out of ship owner or their insurance.

[Is it wrong to keep guns you have no interest in for sentiment reasons?]

if you have room for them, keep them. Even if you don't have a sentimental attachment, maybe someone else in the family will or does. Personally, I'd sooner add another safe than get rid of gun with sentimental value.

A couple other videos of the event.  First one on a local channel's site and the second one is posted by a YouTube user and it is a longer video showing the ship approach with the hit at approx. 5:10 in.

Wow, that YouTube video was revealing. That bridge went down instantly.

It’s also gonna have a major impact on trucking (especially hazmat transportation) along the east coast. 

This is a big deal. 

I bet thousands of people had their commutes tripled today as a result too.

You're right. Funneling all those semi trucks into other routes is going to be a disaster for logistics.

Shot a lot of these with BB guns  some died due to M 80s. blast. 

A buddy and I made a volcano for science class. We melted some red candles for lava and burned some green army men to put in the path of the lava. We also shot them off the fence with bb guns too. good times, huh?

[Baltimore Bridge Collapse]

Thank God they were able to stop traffic due to the mayday from the ship. I can only imagine how bad this tragedy would have been otherwise.

With the port being closed now and the bridge down for who knows how long, it sure is a huge impact. That was apparently the #1 port of entry for vehicles coming into the US.

[ATF raid in Little Rock]

Every new story I've read so far says they kicked the door in around 6am to serve a warrant for selling guns w/out proper paperwork. That sounds exactly like what the ATF would do. Rather than arrest him when he leaves the home, pull him over on the way to work, or arrest him at work, they chose the most violent, risky, and least intelligent means to their end.

Older sisters maybe. Check the median age on here. there's a topic on here somewhere regarding that. With some of y'all, it'd be wives.

 

Older sisters at best for me too if that's the 70s. The photo looks more like it's from the 60s to me.
