You actually can call for help and they will come to assist you. It’s happened to me a couple times.
Maybe. I've waited 15 minutes for someone to show up at all and had a bunch of idiots who aren't smart enough to pee a hole in a snow bank waste my time while they tried to get an answer on their computer gizmo. I'm too old to deal with that BS

I normally mute the commercials but sometimes it’s unavoidable to listen. Why is they’re always background music? Sometimes is almost as loud as the person trying to sell something! It’s annoying as h#$&.
Rant over………..😡
I agree and have been beating that drum for decades. Music (so-called) is everydamn where, usually too loud, many times totally inappropriate (like any rowdy high speed crap at breakfast), and anything instrumental.
If I wanted to hear that I'd find it on my radio.
How often have you heard anyone ever say "Let's go to Sally's for breakfast. They have really loud (name your poison) music all day long."
I also hate being in traffic with some jackass with his windows open and blasting his garbage out into my world. I followed one jerk for two blocks with my horn blasting away.

Butter and syrup, just like a pancake or waffle.
Did that once in Arkansas and got laughed out of town. I still prefer real butter with bit of salt and a tiny tad of garlic salt.
If you don't like it that way, don't eat it that way. You go to your church and I'll go to mine.

@Caprock Kid's comment got me thinking [I know, I know...] But there is almost as much debate on grits as there is on sugar in corn bread or fried or boiled okra.
So...do you like your grits savory or sweet?
Either. Both.

I hope you're right. I've been working on getting one for almost five years.
I haven't had more the a couple of dozen full nights' of sleep in close to 45 years and it's starting to wear on me. I'll sleep a few hours, get up and read for awhile, and doze through the day...maybe 5-6 1/2 hours out of every 24.

...form about1990 with Ahnuld Whutzizname.
Lots of Calico .22 carbines and 9mm pistols. Stupid movie but I watch it every ten years or so.
I think the auto body designers at Tesla got a lot of ideas for their pickup from the movie.

I have taken several deer with my 73 in .45 Colt. I was using smokeless powder instead of BP which I shoot in matches.
My '72 is .44-40 and has a 24" octagonal barrel, a gift from my wife for Christmas in 1982....my first dedicated SASS gun.
I've taken a Mule deer and a whitetail, two bobcats and a badger with it. (The badger was almost an accident. I wasn't really hunting anything that morning.) All of these were before 1991.
My SKB 220E 26" 12gauge has been used on several pheasant, four chukars, two huns, three or four California quail, and jackrabbits galore....all before 1984 Too long and heavy for much SASS work and my Rossi coach gun wasn't long enough for decent hunting, so I adapted.
I bought another Ithaca 12 gauge Model 34 Feather Light (one of several plus one 20 Gauge). Haven't hunted much of anything since 1999.

Ken Null makes a vertical muzzle up rig for some revolvers and semi-auto's. I find the plastic strapping a bit of a bother at times, but i might work for you.

Why bother? BP is for muzzle stuffers and percussion revolvers

I was given a 1947 vintage Dick Special by a friend who was dying. It's a solid 90-95% gun and the only thing I've done is added a Tyler T-Grip to it so it fits my hand better.
I bought a "vampire" shoulder holster (holster is upside down so the muzzle points straight up) for it that is the best holster I could find. I wish they made them for semi-autos.
Using Hornady Critical Defense and firing one-handed (right hand) I can keep six out of six in a four and a half inch circle at ten yards. Two hands shrinks it to three and a half.
One handed (left) I can keep five out of six in a nine to nine and a half inch circle. The sixth round is two or three inches lower at five to seven o'clock.
All are suitable for a close range gunfight. Anything further will have me looking for something to rest the gun or my hand on. Anything over six shots.....even though I have three loaded Speed Loaders.....is not a gunfight, it's a war and I'll be looking for a way out.
This is my everyday carry piece for most of the year. In really cold weather and a wearing a heavier coat, I up grade to a 1911 in .45 acp. with the the same brand and style of ammo. The gun is refinished and tuned by David Fink at Gunsite Academy and has a three dot tritium sight set for indoor dim light like in my house. It also sports some really nice "double diamond" walnut grips. It rides in a custom Ted Blocker holster I bought years ago when I had a business in San Dimas, CA, about a half mile from his shop and for a different 1911.
I have a lot of other guns but these are the ones I carry in case of unexpected social events requiring a gun.

Thank you for noticing. It's always gratifying to have someone recognize the effort I put into that.

I won't even set foot in a "Bullseye" store and haven't for well over 20 years.
I can't remember the last time I went into a Target. Probably close to your 20 years.

Not defending WalMart, but I doubt alienating Trump supporters is on WalMart's to-do list.
Every family has (at least) one a*****e in the family. The Walton family isn't any different!
Hell, look at Trump's sister!
They have alienated me and is has nothing whatever to do with Trump or politicians of any breed. My family is laced with them...like my sister and her son.
She sees the world through a tiny aperture like a soda straw. He's just a raging so-called "conservative" moron.

Up in the northern Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming Rockies there are millions of fossils that look just like these critters, some up to three feet long. Been there from way back, but I don't know how far back they go.....but if they are still around their family tree has to be huge beyond imagination. I never saw a live one and had no idea any still existed.
That is above 7,000 feet altitude, right up in the area where the are miles of seashells in layers where the ocean either drained away or were thrust up in massive earthquakes.
And then there's the axolotl, a quite rare salamander-like aquatic beastie. The town of Prescott (rhymes with bisquite) Valley has one and he/she/it is fascinating to watch.
It's right next to two tarantulas and a beaded lizard.
Come take a look. They will jolt your reality bones.

I'm the same way. If asked, I tell them that the cashiers that they DO have are getting paid to run the register. I'm not, so I won't.
I've found that if you ask, someone will run the self checkout for you.
If they ever say that they can'/ won't, I'll tell them they've got two choices: Either they can find someone to check me out, or they can find someone to put the stuff in my cart back on the shelves.

I don’t save any money but I save time and there’s hardly ever a line and it’s always shorter than the cashier line.
I disagree about getting shafted. I’m glad to get out of there in a hurry so I saved time and time is money so they say!
How about you do you and I’ll do me?I have seldom found a faster check out because they have one or two checkout registers open and lines at the self help area are seven to ten deep. One store doesn't even open registers until 8:00 am and I'm halfway through my day by then.
I HATE WALMART!
