I like how this is already being rewritten. We the People have already been told by the media it was a gift from his father for his birthday. It is being twisted to suit special interests groups. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/18/charleston-shooting-gun-birthday_n_7614162.html http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-church-shooting-updates-htmlstory.html

I had never thought about it never have worked in banking but when the one happened for Oak Ridge Y12 that was my first thought. Plus I would have the best home alarm system I could afford and I couldn't believe they seemed on the surface to not have some plan in place in case something like that happened. I would just think I was a target if I worked in a place like that and as I don't want to be target I guess that isn't a job for me. I believe the one in Y12 was a a manger or higher position. I was thinking near VP or CEO level but I could be wrong. My thought was they should have had both a plan and alarm system at least.

Yup that is a second one. . That first one with the Y12 Credit Union in Oak Ridge. http://www.wbir.com/story/news/2015/04/28/whittington-creek-police-presence/26508985/

I don't want HCP listed on my DL. I can see it now DMG (Driver, Motorcycle, Gun) also looks like damage. What if I have to use my DL during a hiring process and they see the HCP part? They might not say it but may not offer a job and not give a reason. Might effect the hiring process, although would be next to impossible to prove.

We also have at least 2 US Navy Nuclear reactors (USS Scorpion and USS Thresher) sitting on the bottom of the ocean. Plus we have a few broken arrows out there. Here are some scarey ones. 1966: B-52 crashes into KC-135, four thermonuclear bombs are released over Spain 1961: Two nuclear bombs nearly turn North Carolina into a bay http://www.wearethemighty.com/7-times-military-lost-nukes-4-instances-theyre-still-missing-2015-05 Note, I just found this site searching for a certain Nuke event so I know nothing about the rest of the site.

Well this morning I was going to by a Rifle at Walmart. Yea I know I know but it was a deal that couldn't be passed up. Got there a little early just because I had allot of driving to do today. Another guy said he had already paged them and had been waiting about 30 minutes just to get the ammo counter open.Finally the walmart person comes back with the keys. I tell him want I want, he takes his time, as slow as possible it seems, go to the back, comes back about 10 minutes later with the gun the gun I want to buy. I check it out and i am rdy to do the paper work. At this point he tells me TICS is closed and to come back in a few hours. 1, I was pretty sure TICS was open but he pretty much made it clear I would have to come back in a few hours. I told him I wouldn't be availalbe. So I end up leaving Walmart at 8:55 a.m. Eastern. He told me TICS would not be open until 10 eastern which I knew wasn't right, I was pretty sure they would be open by 9. However it was like trying to argue a speeding ticket on the side of the road. Not going to win like that. So I left Oak Ridge and stopped at Clinton (which was on my way today) went in and brought the Mossberg 702 plinkster .22lr. Besides waiting over 10 minutes for a walmart employee to finish his break, issues with the computer not letting me sign the digital form for a bit and waiting on another manger to come review everything and walk me out it was more of a hassle then it should have been. So I am back home and had time to look up a post by OS confirming tics opens at 9 a.m. However the Oak Ridge employee in short said they would not sell any guns until 10 a.m. FYI, I took the plinkster out only put 60 rounds though it with no issues.

I told my wife I was going to break the internet. I was going to get all 3 flags and carry them all at once. nevermind, I can't see myself actually doing that.

Thanks for the reply on the Greenways. That sounds right. This weekend may be the first time I have stepped foot in the City Park in a very long time. The DOE clark Park is currently owned by Federal I believe. Last I knew the city was considering taking over it. I will try to follow up and see if there is any updates. I went one of the meetings last year on it.

Is a Green way the same as a park? I know Oak Ridge has both Parks and Greenways. Both had and still have the no guns signs. I don't think they will ever come down. I know the laws says my permit is my defense against them. Anyways is a greenway considered a park? Based on this from their facebook, I assume they are considered parks, but I just don't want to assume to much. "Oak Ridge, TN Greenways are linear parks or open spaces established along natural corridors that provide quiet walkways and bike paths for the community." I haven't used Oak Ridge parks much and there is at least 1 park that is on DOE property that they allow the public in. I don't think that one is covered by the guns in park. (Clark Park, also know as Carbide Park). I think they city is trying to take over ownership though.

I believe I will go Direct TV and see if I can get them to remove a few choice channels.

By the time Brian Williams is done reporting an accident, it will be portrayed as the next Gridlock (1980 movie) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080817/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUxqLQNAAwQ

The stones had went to the bile duct and she did have the ERCP I believe that is what they did Tuesday this week. When it hit her, she felt like she was having a heart attack. After she finding out it was stones and given some pain meds sent home and 2 other appointments to find out it was in the duct and needed out. The bile was backing up and starting to affect her blood work per the doctor that did the ERCP. He was concerned that they didn't get her in their sooner. Also off and on over the past 2 years she has had similar attacks not to the same level but in the same place. Stones had been ruled out a while back as they had not shown up on previous ultrasound. She had been told it was probably just gas so she treated it like you would for gas. Also the attacks like this last major one happened after eating. Also in the last year or so she had lost about 20 pound trying to get healthier. She read that losing weight can sometimes cause stones to come lose and move like that. Since the ERCP she has already felt much better. The ultrasound I watched, we know she has allot of stones in there that could later get stuck in the ducts if they move. It appears we are beyond a flush as a flush could possibly make things worse and need another ercp. One thing I read was "Gallstones can form even in people who eat properly. And as researchers have found, a diet extremely low in fat can also contribute to gallstone formation: With little fatty food to digest, the gallbladder is called into play less frequently than usual, so the cholesterol has more time to solidify." http://www.webmd.com/understanding-gallstones-basics?page=2 Also she has a family history (both sides of her family tree) of them and some other risk factors. She has also read up on the flushes as well.

"The gallbladder: a small organ in your body that stores bile. A.K.A. THE DEVIL ORGAN OF SATAN" Direct quote from my wife. Last week, Monday the 8th all was fine. My wife said, I am going to go fill the car up, need anything. I think I said something. She left, not 15 minutes later she was back in pain. She just keep telling me it hurt, I thought something had happened and was having trouble getting it out of her. She filling tells me she thinks it as gas bubble or something that she has had from time to time. little be later not getting butter but seems to be hurting more. I take her to the ER, we get in at 7 almost on the dot. no line at check in, but they want to do paper work and more paper work. I am getting PISSED. I finally raised my voice and said, Look she has Chest pain get someone for her. I didn't use any Monday morning words but it was clear I was not happy. I love the signs posted around that medical care can't be denied if you can't pay, but makes certain payment is covered before getting in. moving on. Because I raised my voice she got someone out there, and he took my wife to the back. I finished the papers and joined her. EKG, he said doesn't appear to be a heart attack, ok that is good but she is still hurting. Blood work, taken talked to a doctor,, no fever either, quickly rule out appendix. Finally comes down 2 about 3 things, Gallblader, Gas, or that something with the pericardium. All 3 can mimic a heart attack. First blood work comes back, nothing really found wrong. The doctor offers to do an unofficial ultrasound. Said the one she had couldn't do the measurements and since my wife wasn't fasting it may not show anything. We take a Look and even to my untrained Eye I could see the stones. Allot of them. So they bring a tech with a better ultrasound machine. She takes allot of pictures and after the second around of blood work we are sent home at midnight with a referral and prescriptions. Get them filled and get home after 1 and she takes them. Also they had give her some stuff about 10 p.m. that helped a little after they knew it wasn't a heart attack. Checked with our Doctor and he said he would refer to the same Doctor as the ER doctor which was good news. She got an appointment to see him on Thursday. He wants the Gallbladder out, but per the ultra sound some stones had got into a duct that needed to be fixed first. That was the source of the pain. So Monday 15 she sees the next doctor. Yup, they have to run a scope down her throat, though the stomach some place. They schedule that for the 16th. They also do blood work. Then on the 16, they should start about 11, but they are held up by guess what, more blood work. Seems they need to check to see if she is pregnant (which had already been checked 3 times). This is some of the way health care is so high. At least that operation went smooth, Dr told me he get 2 stones out of the duct and expanded it so if any more get loose they should not cause a problem. Today she followed up with the Gallbladder dr and she gets her Gallbladder out Next Thursday. At least work hasn't give me a hard time about missing. I keep them up to date as I knew. I was on a Monday last week and told them I would be out Tuesday and Wednesday. Today was my first day back, another guy turned in notice and they offered me his job which has a few perks but no pay increase. But it is a step in the right direction. So as of now, all is going well.

Yep. Also I would only jump around like that if it was a spider.

You know, until now, I always assumed a cat fight would be something arousing to watch. I was wrong.

OK, i re-watched and found that. Most of the pictures are a mag instead of a drum though.

AR carry at Atlanta airport Legal, yes, questionable the way he did it I have to say yes. You are certainly going to panic the sheep like that and perhaps get the lawmakers to revise the law. However the other thing really gets me if the news keeps saying 100 round drum. I don't see it. I see a standard Mag. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/georgia-man-legally-carry-ar-15-rifle-atlanta-airport-article-1.2244745

Not yet, Been busy around here lately. Too many bosses at work creating red tape to make simple jobs take longer while saying hurry up. I might just carry it with me when the President of Buck is going to be at Smokey Mountain Knife Works July 10-12th. Get in line and talk to the main guy.
