  1. Mom used it to hold embroidered details to her needlework while she sewed them in place and when she was done she hand washed the project and ironed it.  Looked like  a well-crafted custom item.

     

    Before they invented aerosol spray adhesive she used rubber cement cut with rubbing alcohol.  Took several washings but, it looked just as good

    MY Grandpa?  Hell, so id Dad and I and almost all of my friends.  Camouflage?  Didn't even know what it was, didn't have any fancy stuff to help us aim or shoot, and almost always filled our limits.

     

    "BIG"game...elk, mule deer, black bears, at least thee pronghorns, and bob cats and cougars.

     

    Dad had a Remington Model 8 in .35 Remington and I graduated from a Model 94 Winchester  .30-30 carbine to a 1903A3 .30-06 sporter, all with iron sights and only one even had an adjustable peep sight, and now I'm told that they aren't sufficient for any game bigger than a pussy cat or a bunny rabbit.

     

    RIGHT!  :rolleyes:  :P

    Can’t afford to crew them and keep ‘em at sea.

     

    not even if the billionaires paid their taxes.

    We could if we stopped giving away OUR money to every back woods, dictatorial, socialist, anti-American country and cause on the planet, including our allies who let us carry them but don't really support us, and started keep OUR tax money for US!

     

    There are maybe a dozen countries that we absolutely MUST support and protect, but way too many have been riding our coat tails for entirely too long.  Many of them wouldn't even exist if we hadn't saved their unappreciative butts and a lot have become our worst enemies.

  4. Still comforting to look at.  We did it once.  We should do it again.  Blanket the seas with carriers and other nasty ships of war just to let folks around the world we can....and suggest we will use them if necessary.

     

    Of course that will never happen as along as we keep electing woosie socialists to everything from the White House to garbage inspectors.

    Get Bill Mauldin's book Up Front written in late WWII for Stars and Stripes in Europe.

     

    It will teach you a lot about combat troops. morale, and GIs...and make you laugh a lot.

     My daughter and SIL have a home in Flat Rock NC.  Haven't heard from them since Friday morning.

     

    No Power, no phones, no anything.

    Just got an email.  They're alright, have no electricity except a generator that they run about 3 hours a day to keep stuff from spoiling.  No cell phone because the towers were damaged or destroyed.  Found a line that they can use to send emails.  Power should be on by tomorrow evening but a lot of places won't get theirs back for up to a week more, maybe longer.

     

    Prayers continuing for those who are not so well off and are still suffering.

    In the TV shows she has a gold-plated Smith Chiefs Special, which, to judge by her outfits, would not be invented for another 30 or more years.

    That's what I was thinking, too.

     

    I never much liked that series but I could get along with Dot.  :P

    If I said what I thought about their strike and unions in general, I'd be banned for life.

    Glow dots you can put in the recess of your sight.  Gotta charge em ( I use a small uv flashlight) but they glow bright.

     

    Tritium is known to the state of California to cause cancer.

    So does the state of California.

    You saying that the elephant's tromped on the dogs?

     

     

    You ever noticed that otto does not know what a plural is? Seems like every time I write a plural - if the way to make the plural is just add an S to the end of the word - otto will stick an apostrophe in there and make it possessive.

    Turn otto off.  Then the mistakes will be your own.

    More and more store will not even accept cash.  I got into a "discussion" with one retailer and then checked when I got home.  This is off the Federal Reserve website.  Apparently the policy changed in 2020.  Stores do not have to accept cash.

     

    Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?

    There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

    They also don't get the opportunity to get my business.

     

    Just last month I had one young snot-nose kid cashier call his manager because I tried to spend a couple of $2.00 bills.  The manager, not much older than the clerk, came out,looked at the bills and called the police.  The LEO was about 45 years old.  He took the guy out of earshot and read him "the rocks and shoals", then escorted him back up and stood there while I got my change and a apology.  As I walked out the manager said "thanks and come back again".

     

    I answered "that's not likely to happen".  The cop laughed right out loud, gave me a thumbs up and drove away.

     

    It's getting worse every minute of every day.

    Not new.  I can recall being in a store paying for some items when they had a power failure.  The well spoken, attractive young woman behind the counter did not know how to make change - nearly 20 years ago, and I wrote a check!  The deli at the Supermarket has clerks who never learned fractions - when I want 3/4 of a pound, I have to say .75.  The world has changed.

    Just three or four years ago I was in a place when the power went out.  The kid at the register took my credit card and pulled a 1950-something "wrist buster" from under the counter and ran it through.  Then he used his cell phone to call it in for verification.  He grinned and said "we can't even do that with the new cards because the numbers aren't embossed any more."
