My Guard unit had a few like those for civil disturbances. I recall them having wooden fore grip and pistol grip, and I don't recall if the steel stock folded or not. However, I can attest that after shooting it, I looked for the mule that had kicked me.

You need to see the movie, then it all makes sense. Isn't there a line in there about the men complaining the vichyssoise tastes like potato soup?

Merry Christmas

A Merry Christmas to everyone. May it be filled with joy, and contemplation of peace on earth, good will toward all.

Merry Christmas, Bob

Miss having you around. A Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!

It depends on my mood and what is available. Black or with cream. No milk, and NO SUGAR.

Stay out of my garage!!!

No I hit the garage door opener at the door into the house as I am going to the car.

It's THE Christmas movie!

And speaking of Led Zeppelin and John Paul Jones, Going to California, instrumental, just mandolin and guitar

As a diehard Led Zeppelin fan, this rendition of When the Levee Breaks is one I find simply amazing, and can listen to over and over again.

I cannot imagine reporting that to my insurance company.

This popped up on my playlist a couple of days back.

OK, I'll be the odd man out here. I use a moisturizer after I get out of the shower and shave every morning. If I don't my skin feels dry and tight, and the skin around my eyes itches. If it keeps me young looking for AB, then I'm OK with that. My goatee is pretty near white at this point to make up for it.

Wat fur?

A few thoughts. First, just because a claim is at a specific level does not mean it will continue to move in a linear fashion--from 4 to 5 to 6. Many times a claim can move backward, depending on circumstances, materials received and more. Most counties in the country have a Veterans Service Office, with accredited County Veteran Service Officers (CVSOs) who spend our day filing claims and working to understand the VA bureaucracy. There have been problems recognized at specific VA medical locations over the years, but overall, the VA has worked to become better at what they do. I hear more positive comments about the Dayton VAMC than our local hospitals.

Yep, and Thurl Ravenscroft sang "Your a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."

I suppose my favorites are what I would call "the big three." White Christmas It's a Wonderful Life A Christmas Story Of course, I also need to see A Charlie Brown Christmas, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated version, narrated by Boris Karloff) for the season to be complete. Edit: How could I forget the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol?

A great summation. Given those parameters, I can definitely make arguments for Die Hard and Lethal Weapon!

First thing that pops into my mind is to do a YouTube search for SASS and some of the well known gunfighters such as Lassiter.

Or, it might mean that she is used to the colloquialism, but when necessary, she can express herself appropriately. I'm sure she also is aware that she plays to her audience somewhat in interviews. I know plenty of people that are somewhat verbal chameleons. Put me in a crowd from SE Kentucky, or my family that hails from there, and I can easily lapse into "ya'll" and all that and be completely comfortable. Put me in a courtroom or a bar function, and I can adopt the more formal language. I also speak fluent veteran. No, I don't believe I am special, I think most people do it to an extent. Some just more than others.

What tree, gifts and decorations?

Passed at the age of 84. RIP Already posted, I hadn’t scrolled down far enough.

As soon as I read "Melitta" I knew where the story was going, just not the details. I am thankful for her frustration. As an aside, I typically use a metal mesh filter, either in my automatic drip or my French Press. I assume they are finer than the ones in 1908.
