I almost despair - baby green peas?

On record as the most overturned court.

Actually, this is tricky because both phonetics and trying to find a "Lucky" combination of characters are both involved. One very fine Judo instructor ordered an embroidered belt for me direct from Japan. He blacked out the embroidery because it was a simple phonetic and not lucky. Another who was also a scholar gave me a carved stone stamp for use on promotion certificates that was a phonetic of my name but also, the lucky translation of the characters, Ancient Lord, Mountain King. There are some real horror stories on tats in kanji, both accident and malice.

Years back a Chinese Restaurant in the town where I was on the PD was closed down after getting caught with cats in the freezer. At least that was the story at the time, it was a pleasant place with pretty good food. Don't think I ever had cat.

Thai has a few doozies as well. Used to be a Minneapolis restaurant that had a hot food eating contest with a cash prize. Never gave it consideration, though I liked the place.

Many years back, at a business conference in Texas I watched a very senior manager and a young up and comer have an unofficial hot food eating contest. Macho! I like reasonably hot food, but touched one of the peppers they were chowing down to my tongue and the experience convinced me I wouldn't care to chew one. I will never understand ultra hot recipes of any nationality.

I believe the Long is for single shot rifles. Haven't had a 38-55 for near 20 years, so may be wrong.

Gotta do what ya gotta do! When I can't walk, I'll have to get the knees replaced. So far I'm making it.

Man, you just have the worst luck! Best wishes for a real solution this time!

That you would deliberately harm a dog for being a dog is disgusting.

Cartridge dimensions? I found 44-40 to be a pain to handload, even though I load 25-20, 32-20 and 38-40. Sent the one SAA I had back to Colt's, now 45 Colt. Ya got to go for what works for you and what you want. Good luck!

For a short time I had a land line number close to a Pizza joint. Had no success in changing things till I took orders and offered discounts. Pretty quick I stopped getting calls.

Brings a story to mind I haven't thought of in a very long time. A country boy friend of mine decades back, new to living in NYC nearly died over Carbon Tet. He rented an apt and, of course, had roaches. Asked some of his city boy buddies what to do. They suggested he squirt Carbon Tet in the cracks - I don't believe it was malice, they never would have guessed he would actually do it. Well, he did and passed out. His GF arrived, giving away a hundred pounds, she managed to drag him into the hall and shut the door. Distresses me I can't remember her name - brave / tough little gal
