Throw the $150 on the ground, shoot 'em while they're going for that or haul butt to get some distance. OP - No I would not carry loose rounds on my person in a pocket, pouch or whatever. Only way I would carry "loose" rounds would be on a small, slip/clasp-on type cartridge belt.

No wonder people's feet hurt....they're wearing two left footed shoes!

Never tried Vegemite but pineapple....NEVER!

Everyone knows....a hotdog needs to have Miracle Whip on it w/cheese. Okay, I'm kidding (or not)....hot dogs need chili to make them truly delicious.

This ^^^^ Had this happen with various calibers of brass, primarily range pickup .30 Carbine. There is no remedy to remove corroded primers easily, trash it or recycle it.

Rarely does a couple "have a new life together" these days. Each and every "first time" wedding that I've been to in the last 20 years, the couple has lived with each other for some time before getting married. It's not a new life together but more of a legally committed life together. As far as being invited to the wedding and the amenities that may be provided, if they can't afford the extra's....don't provide them. Have a private reception or whatever is affordable. If they consider my "gift" as payment for the wedding/reception/etc...how does that absolve them from acknowledgement someone's "contribution" to the wedding/etc? Is the no longer a gift that's now a "contribution", less worthy of thanks? I don't think so. It's called courtesy, respect and a certain amount of gratitude with a simple (supposedly) heartfelt gesture. You're right, $100 doesn't go a long way for me these days, yet is increasingly hard to come by. Maybe times have passed me by, I remember when a $100 paycheck for the week meant that I had worked 40 hours + overtime in a ***t job just to make. Tell ya what TJ, send me $100...the new $20. I'll thank you profusely right here or by other means....and it'll be appreciated....from the heart.

Way back when the Clearwater police first got "bulletproof" vests, a news reporter decided it would be a good idea to put one on and have a film crew do a "Live, On The Scene" report on getting shot (on the 6:00 pm news) while wearing one of the new vests. He carefully set up the scenario by telling watching public that he would be shot with a .38 special by a professional marksman. The reporter proudly donned the vest, stood in front of the "professional marksman" armed with a stub nosed S & W .38 standing about 5" away, with his chest poked out like Superman and proclaimed "Okay, go ahead!" The marksman then proceeded to take careful aim and shoot him directly in the middle of the chest....Perfect shot. The reporter's knees immediately buckled and fell over rearward on the ground. The shocked, pained, I'm dead look in his eyes was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the news. What happened next was even funnier. Live on the 6:00 news, when he could say something again, loudly said Sh**, G*****N...That hurt llke hell. Didn't see much of that reporter after that

Two gallons or 8 liters if I were in most other countries.

Me either...but a simple text or acknowledgment that they received the gift is nice to know. Hell, I say thank you to the person that holds the door open for me. It kind of irks me when I do the same for a person that walks by you and never says a word. Not acknowledging a gift shows the same kind of ambivalence and disrespect imo.

So, a gift of $100, or less, is not worthy of a Thank You? Just curious, what's the minimum on the Thank You threshold?

A great champion, twice! Rest in Peace Mr. Foreman BTW - I still have your grill!

I saw the last couple that I gave a wedding gift (card w/$100 cash) didn't bother to send out any form of thank you notes. I saw them at someone else's part about a year later. They came over and were talking with me, and some others, when I asked them if they had received the card/cash. He said they had received it. I said I didn't know if they had received it or not as there was no thank you note of any kind. He said "I'm sorry, we didn't send out any thank you cards." I replied, "Well, maybe you will after your next wedding" and walked away.

I learned early, always have a good hiding place and....

Same here! Didn't they put a wiener on top of one and call it the Oscar Meyer Mobile many years ago?

If they're hard to get to or the situation is close quarters...I'd agree with you. However, if it's an easy kill...I'll do it myself just for the satisfaction that I killed dozens, perhaps 100's, of the little bastards Fire ants get the same treatment...no prisoners, kill 'em in mass quantities.

There was a kid in the neighborhood that was poisoned by Carbon Tet. He didn't die and I don't remember what ended up happening to him. We had all kinds of poisons and chemicals on the shelfs in the garage...DDT, Diazinon, Chlordane, 7 Dust (I'm glad for spell check) and a bunch of others that I can't remember their names...probably all banned now. Widders Air Soft gun is, without a doubt, safer than those poisons, more fun too!

I used Carbon Tetrachloride in a jar similar to Eyesa's description. Killed them in seconds with no damage to the insect. The improvised salt shotgun sounds like more fun though. FWIW - The Bug A Salt gimmick is worthless for anything other than getting salt all over the place and pissing off the wife by getting salt all over the place.
