Most of these "studies" are just like any other type: They are designed to find exactly what the author wants to find.

Pets are great. Well, dogs are, (just kidding, I don't care for cats, but I don't hate them either.) If they affect children's upbringing in any way, shape, or form, it's the way they see their elders treat them, and what they learn from that.

Borrowed?

Yes, I stole this from the Meme thread. It applies.

Fashion or "stylish", man or woman, to me, it just looks sloppy.

If you're offended, I certainly didn't mean to do so.

I'm not even going to try to figure women's fashions out. I only asked about men's dress habits because most of the denisons of The Saloon are men, and I figgered I'd have a better chance at a discussion. And it's not that I really care, but I just want to understand, though I doubt I ever will.

Maybe. But they still could have let it slide to just a shirt and pants. Instead, they chose to show that even broke and starving they still had some dignity.

I've seen pictures from the Depression of men in soup lines still dressed in suits and hats.

Or is it just me? Everywhere I go, I see men that dress like they just don't care about their appearance. Untucked T-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip flops. Maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy, but I remember a time, not so long ago when most men cared what they looked like. I certainly don't dress like a Dandy of any sort, but I DO wear Jeans, at least a Polo shirt, and boots when I'm out in public. Heck I don't even OWN shorts OR flip flops. Some of you have probably read my posts wherein I fully admit to being a borderline Luddite. Is this just more of my not wanting to get with the times? Or am I just plain wrong here?

It wasn't. I picked up a couple sets for my Super Blackhawk a while back and had similar fitting issues. Not quite as pronounced, but obvious. They weren't unusable, just not a perfect fit. I got them off ebay as Altamont clearance, so no refund, but they didn't cost much anyway. Beautiful grips, just a bit off.

If it floats, it's boyant.

Sorry Joe, I CAN'T let you get away with THAT one.

Old joke I stole from Reddit: An Atheist Walking In The Woods Is Chased By A Bear. An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him,reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!" Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident." "Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.

It's more like "I'm busy and don't want to be bothered with the little brats". Or was that more of a Gen X thing?

I've got a circular saw, a drill, and a Dremel. I'm not trying ANYTHING with that combo.

I guess what I'm wondering is are they any better than a paper filter when it comes to filtering household dust? Or is it just that you clean them instead of replacing them?

Okay, question: Just HOW do these things work? Forty Rod mentioned them being charged. But when I research them, it talks about the motion of the air making them work. Even with the second best filters I get, about every 5 years or so, the service company wants to disassemble the unit and clean the fan. To the tune of $500! Will an electrostatic filter prevent that? The filters I get claim a MERV of 11, while the electrostatic filters claim a MERV of 5. Are they actually cleaner? If so, I wouldn't mind paying $50 or $60 to do that.

The best gunsmith in town, (Murphy) retired a few years back, and his son was taking over. I've mentioned before that I have several Taurus 85s. I managed to stumble across a guy on ebay that had a three inch barrel for sale. I bought that, as well as the cylinder that went with it. I took it to Murphy Jr. and asked that he remove the two inch barrel and replace it with the three incher. "No." Okay, fine. I looked around and found a guy who would. He was expensive, but that gun now shoots a tighter group than all the others. BTW, if you're looking for used parts, there's a website called https://everygunpart.com/ that has many Demilled guns and parts for sale. I could have saved a bunch if I'd known about them before.

Brett Maverick disarmed: Old John Bianchi poster:

Rush Limbaugh used to say not to argue with an idiot because onlookers might not be able to tell the two of you apart.

The same reason anybody in Hollywierd does anything, money. And I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that they don't think he did anything wrong either.🤬

These are the same people that think 9/11 was done by our own people just to start a war.

In our case, the busses just didn't fun to where we are, and it's not like we're out of town. Now for Elementary School, we DID have bus service, and my daughter used it. Jr. High and High school, no. I wanted to make her ride her bicycle to school, but her Mother wouldn't have it. The traffic was bad back then, (2008 ish), and it's worse now. After all we can't expect little Johnny or Suzie to fend for themselves, can we. And yes, I'm going to go there with some of the other guys here. I rode a bicycle to Elementary and High School. Jr. High we had a bus. To be honest, I LIKED riding my bike. It gave me a sense of freedom that I still love today. I'd still get my self where I want to be than be driven.
