A few years back Shirttail and I had our Thanksgiving dinner at a Waffle House somewhere in the south east we were the only folks in the place but the staff certainly made us feel welcome. I love to have eggs, toast and hashbrowns with chili on top.

Which Thing do you refer to please ? there were quite a few odd things in that movie - leaving dean at the entry to town without backup for one , 

That song they sang right after.

i found both dean and ricky enjoyable and the singing fun in the film but i felt it contrived to the story , still they were great singers 

The song "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me" was fine, but that thing they did after that did NOT fit the movie.

So what?

And even though we have the DVDs of them, we STILL stop and watch whenever they're on.

 Somehow the barrel band screw came out and he lost it and the sling swivel,  just replaced it with a machine screw and square nut.

This it?

I've thought of these camera type doorbells, but everyone I've looked at works off Wi-Fi. I don't have Wi-Fi. My phone, as part of my monthly plan, has internet access. I can use my phone to create a Wi-Fi hotspot.

How does your phone access the internet? I have Cox internet as part of my package through them, along with T.V. and phone, (landline). As part of the internet package, it comes with a router that has built in wifi. My laptop runs off that, as well as my wife's tablet and cell phone. 

I would think that you could get wifi that runs off whatever internet provider you have.

That's nothin'. I've been on missions with SG1. When I was a child, I rode with Roy Rogers.

If I'm in the back of the house I generally don't hear someone at the door.

With your apparent affinity for your phone, I'm surprised that you don't have a Ring type doorbell App on your phone.

Not mine.  I bought a Colt 1911A1 at the PX on Okinawa and carried it, and I picked up an S&W Model 60 for someone going home.  

 

Had a room mate who got a Browning High Power there and knew a Chaplain who did too.

It's a lot stricter on personal weapons now. Even when I was in, ('77-'90) the average Marine would be hard pressed to have one. More senior Officers, probably.

(I gotta learn how to get pictures on this site.)

Easy enough. Take the picture. If with your phone, you can send it to your email by text. From your email, download it to your picture files on your confuser. If with a digital camera, download it to you confuser. Presumably, you have your confuser set to place the pics into picture files. 

Go to the post you want to post the pic in. Go to "Reply" just like you were going to answer the post. At the bottom, in the blue area, there is a image of a paperclip, and it says "Drag files here to attach, or choose files...". Click on "choose files". That will bring up your picture files. Click on the pic you want, and click where it says "Open". That will bring the pic to the reply window.

When the pic says "UPLOADED IMAGES", hover you cursor over the pic and click "Insert".

C'mon Forty, PICS!

[Big paws]

I hate finger grooves on anything. Even revolvers. They never fit my meathooks. That's one of the reasons I love the 1911 and the SAA.

I thought about moving to Arizona but I couldn’t stand the summers there! I’m perfectly happy here in Ohio, winters are not all that bad and besides I’ve got a plow guy !😂

If it works for you, good on ya. I grew up shoveling snow in Ohio. When I was deployed to Yuma, I decided that Arizona is where I wanted to be. Yeah, it gets HOT here, but after 35 years, i've learned to deal with it.  

[Major winter storm to hit Sunday January 5, 2025 (round 2)]

WINTER STORM ALERT!! It's only supposed to get up to 67 here on Sunday. There's a REASON I left Ohio for Arizona. It'll be hot come Summer, but I don't have to shovel sunshine.

[NO fireworks]

We had a few here. Surprisingly, NO gunshots! Just relatively small fireworks, and not even close to us either. Still enough to turn the dog into a shaking, drooling mess. But they even stopped around 10:30.

[Evil Can Never Be Dead Enough]

From "The American Thinker"

Evil is as evil does.

 

Evil. Normal Americans know it exists and walks among them. Like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, they know it when they see it. They know Satan is evil’s father and acts that violate God’s law, and many that violate man’s law, are clearly evil.

One thing is that I don't let my knives get dull.  A couple of times when I've taken my knives to use for cooking at church I've apologized to people as "I let them get a little dull" and they thought I was kidding.  Some wouldn't use my knives because they were "too sharp."  

I learned to sharpen knives in my late teens. My Mom used to get mad because her kitchen knives were too sharp. She kept cutting herself.
