“This is Tommy we’re talking about!” she said , “You’ll never change him!”

🤣

That's the trouble with most marriages. Guys hope that she will never change, but she does. Most women hope that the guy will change, but he doesn't. 

Probably why the divorce rate is as high as it is.

One dog was very sensitive, played the stereo and got tranquilizers from the vet.  Helped a lot.

We've tried those, several types of "herbal" types, even gave her more than the recommended dose. No Joy. 

[wonder how many are obeying?]

Surprisingly no gunshots here, but a lot of firecrackers. No bigger stuff, just that. Was enough to scare my dog though. But the crumpling of a plastic water bottle is enough to set her to shaking.

NOBODY will give you any grief for doing so. Most likely, if you stay around to just watch, you'll have people checking on you every five minutes or so to make sure that you're okay. There's no shame in doing so.

I remember those, with a non-starving Sally Struthers "pleading" for the children as a spokesperson.

She was just the most recent, (at that time) celebrity to jump on that bandwagon. They'd been doing it years before she got involved. As an aside, it had been years since she'd been on anything at that time. I always wondered if that was her way of trying to regain the spotlight of fame. If so, it didn't seem to work. (The $200 sunglasses she wore kind of spoiled the image).

You must be awful young because I don’t remember ever seeing these ads till maybe 10 -15 years ago

The ads I'm referring to are the "Feed the Children" ads. They were showing them back in the 70s. And it was pretty much the same thing as you see now. 

This might sound Bad, but I always thought that if people didn't "Feed the Children", the population over there might have dropped off naturally to where they didn't have so many starving children.

I've seen those commercials since I was a child. They've always been $19 a month.

Well, because it's on TV, they usually give a wink and a nod and, one of them will say "Welfare Check". But that's TV, I have no idea if LEOs would really do that.

 2. Exigent Circumstances.  Your local milage may vary.

On these TV shows, they're usually going to the residence as part of an investigation and they think that whoever they're looking for might be either a suspect or a victim. 

either way, they go to the residence and find the door wide open or kicked in. I think that would be covered by Exigent Circumstances. 

Another reason would be a Welfare Check. Nobody's heard from Fill in the Blank for several days and they're worried about him, and nobody answers the door.

I have a retired LEO friend that has several stories like that, that didn't end happily.

They've already developed a new "switch". However, unlike the old one, it doesn't make the gun select fire. It makes it automatic only.

I have become a Luddite and I kind of miss the time before the internet.

I'm pretty much the same way. My newest vehicle is a 2006, so they're all internet free. No "device" listening to me in the house. And I still use a flip phone. The one piece of modern technology that I love is my DVR. 

Before anybody points out the hypocrisy of me putting this on the internet with a computer, you're right, I agree with you to a point. I like my confuser, but mainly as a information and entertainment resource. The way it relates to this thread is that it doesn't do anything unless I tell it to, and it doesn't control anything except the printer.

Not me. The less I know about actors & actresses the better. That way their personal lives can’t color my perceptions of the characters they play. It’s hard to look at Di Niro onscreen these days without thinking about what a jerk he’s been in public over the last several years.

i see your point there , i didnt used to even think about them or their personal lives - just watched hoping to be entertained by whatever i was watching/hearing , your right there are a few i feel that way about , most notably hanoi jane - i refuse to watch anything she ever did , 

There are a LOT of them that strike me the same way. One of the worst, (for me), is Sam Elliot. Until he opened his mouth to hawk for Biden, I, (and I think a lot of us here), thought he was one of us. Now he's just a disappointment.

[are all screenwriters idiots?]

I'm not sure that Hollywierd WANTS to make Good movies anymore. Most of them seem to be more about the "message" than the story. 

Take Disney/ Marvel/ Lucas, for instance. They take great pains to NOT hire people that have any kind of background with the source material. Anyone that has even READ a comic book can't get hired for Marvel. I believe that it's the same with Star Wars. They have to make sure that they include lead characters that are gay, trans, or mouthy girl bosses to even have a chance at getting a movie made. Then, when nobody goes to see it, because that sort of thing isn't what the audience wants to see, they blame the audience for not supporting them.

I won it for $227, by far the least expensive I could find in the completed auctions, and no sales tax in Montana either. I don't know if I care for the Talon grip tape grips, but it doesn't sound like a tough job to remove if I don't like it. 

I got my "Tombstone Special" on Gunbroker for under $350 a while back. They normally go for $800 or better. You can sometimes find really good deals if you're patient.

Since most people younger than me don't send Christmas cards much, I am picturing this as a nice little old lady, maybe a couple, and now they can go to the next gathering with their lucky hat on and lucky deck to play pinochle with a cup of coffee, door key on a VERY distinctive keychain they won't lose. 

 

Yeah, the Wildcats gear is a bit much. Pima Air Museum, Titan Missile Museum, and Reid Park Zoo would have shown more of a range of interests here. But I'm glad you did something fun with it anyway. (I don't think about sports the way most people do).
