Did the bears let him live?🤔
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.

My little one needs to have a childhood where they are able to make their own choices and I will allow them to do that. You know they are only kids once.
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.

When I encounter people like that, I just step back and move away slowly.
If you argue with idiots, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!
Rush Limbaugh used to say not to argue with an idiot because onlookers might not be able to tell the two of you apart.

Why would anyone do a scene (or anything else) with Killer Baldwin?
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.🤬

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.

As Subdeacon Joe mentioned, many people refer to the "Militia" mentioned in the Second Amendment. Very few people know just what that means. This is from The U.S, Code. Federal Law. It spells out exactly WHO the Militia is:
10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes
(a)
The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are—(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
32 U.S. Code § 313 - Appointments and enlistments: age limitations
(a)To be eligible for original enlistment in the National Guard, a person must be at least 17 years of age and under 45, or under 64 years of age and a former member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or Regular Marine Corps. To be eligible for reenlistment, a person must be under 64 years of age.
(b)To be eligible for appointment as an officer of the National Guard, a person must—(1)
be a citizen of the United States; and
(2)be at least 18 years of age and under 64.
As you can see, many of us here no longer qualify because of our age. But I'm not letting that stop me.

Around here, we lose power once or twice a year, usually during Monsoon. Over the past few years, whenever I call to report an outage, the computer indeed already knows about it, and you can't even get a human on the phone to ask about repair time.

You are describing a junk drawer. This is clearly the Utensils drawer
It's a "Drawer won't open" drawer. It could be both.

Other than maybe the pliers, none of those keeps a drawer from opening.
Maybe not, but other stuff stacked on TOP of them does.

try sleeping with my head and shoulders propped up a little.
That worked according to my wife.
I don't know. I never heard myself snore
9 minutes ago, Rip Snorter said:Yup! Works for me - 2 pillows. An individual situation and choice.
I do the same. Two pillows on my arm. MY wife also says I don't snore, and she's never heard me stop breathing, but the test show different. We'll see. Of course, if the whole thing has to come out of MY pocket, I'll never know.

My Doctor said that since I'm old and fat that I MUST have sleep apnea. I resisted. My wife is a CNA, and has worked the Night Shift for 30+ years. She's familiar with it, and she'd never noticed any indication of it.
They finally convinced me to get tested, and the results showed that, of course, I have BOTH kinds of it. For those who might not know, there are types: obstructive sleep apnoea (when throat muscles block the airway) and central sleep apnoea (when the brain fails to send proper breathing signals). My Doctor, (a different one than the first) said that my results for central sleep apnea are the worst she's ever seen.
So I guess that I'll try the mask for a while, but if I don't see something borderline amazing in the results, I'll quit it. I don't feel tired, I rarely take naps, I don't fall asleep watching T.V. or ANY of the common indicators of it. The ONLY thing I'm looking for is to see if I can lose some weight with it. And I'm doubtful of THAT because I've been putting on weight since I was in my early 30s. But we'll see.
