  1. Shooting while Pregnant

    No, because even if it's likely safe, does she want to take that chance?

  2. Sharing the road with bicyclists

    Once in a rare while, I'll ride my bike 10 miles to the office and back. It's very hard because of the steep hills, my age, and trying to stay clear of the drivers to the extent I can. But I have this thought. How slothful and self-important must someone be to think that avoiding his or her...

  3. GA State Defense Force Opinions?

    Attend the orientation -- it's a half day with no commitment. If you don't hear back from a recruiter, send me a pm. I did a lot of homework before joining. I'm now in my 10th year, and I've enjoyed it all. Generally, the commitment is one weekend drill a month for 11 months, plus a four-day...

    Internet going down for a few months.

    .22 and snares, squirrels and rabbits, candles, fire. Family working through it together. Typewriters for those of us who still have them and need them. It won't last . . . it'll be OK . . . we've done this before -- for centuries. Businesses will adapt and so will families. Some will fail...

  5. too old for a new dog?

    Our Shi Tzu / Cocker Spaniel mix spends her days following my wife's every move in the house, and sleeping. She likes to take one long walk a day and that's sufficient. (Long is relative -- maybe 1/4 mile round trip, less as she gets older). Grooming is crucial, though -- that long hair gets...

  6. Best chainsaw brand

    I've had two Husqvarna saws that I bought at Lowe's, both great. The first started acting up after a lot of use. I bought a carburetor for about $15 on Amazon, it was an easy fix, and ran like new again. Before I bought the carb, I bought a new Husqvarna 455 Rancher (20") so I could finish a...

    Son graduated law school

    Congrats! What's his name and which law firm? You never know when one of us lawyers on ODT might want to refer a case to him.

    Snake - I Know You Guys Love These

    Two years ago I bought prescription sunglasses -- the yellow ones. They were wonderful for clarity. The next year I said no thanks -- told the optometrist they made copperheads completely invisible. Fortunately they're not aggressive like the moccasins.

    Snake - I Know You Guys Love These

    Here's my new garden friend. Dumping the grass takes a lot more time this season of the year. :-)

    Not all heroes wear a uniform.

    Ha! Red Cross is good. I just searched for an appointment and found that the web site has been updated. I still have ann account, etc. My last donation is recorded as having been made in 2005. I tried to make an appointment at my church, but got an error message saying that because I...

    Not all heroes wear a uniform.

    I used to donate blood all the time. Red Cross won't take mine now due to an unexplained low platelet count (no disease). Afraid I'll bleed out; I won't. I had my hematologist write a letter saying it's OK, and I sent it to Red Cross after hours of research to find the correct office; never...

  12. Select Comfort bed?

    Stearns & Foster Estate. https://www.mattressfirm.com/estate-135-extra-firm-mattress/5637349342.p?variantid=563734948. I think it's the same one we've been sleeping on, a queen size.

  13. Anniversary

    BTW, my wife is indifferent to guns. But She's had a Rossi .32 revolver since 1985, never cared. We went to the range a few years ago where she shot pretty well at one of those zombie splatter targets, and it hung in our son's dorm and first apartment for a few years. Good times!

  14. Select Comfort bed?

    No, but we just got our first king bed (after 37 years) with an adjustable base. My wife had back and neck problems from surgery, and needs to adjust for comfort. I don't think it'll be any worse than getting elbowed in the ribs for snoring. :-) But the mattress itself is awesome!

  15. Anniversary

    Congratulations! It'll be 38 for us in September. Looking forward to 52!

  16. Thanks ODT! It’s been almost 10 years

    Wow. You made me look -- 11 or 12 for me and it's hard to imagine. A lot of good years!

  17. Large Beavers and Coyotes - Come trap them - PLEASE!

    It's illegal to relocate beaver in Georgia. Kill them or let them be.

    So what was your first ride?

    Suzuki GT550 https://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Suzuki_GT550 I learned to repair it, enhance it, I loved it! Rode it home 5 hours through the West Virginia mountains in a snowstorm. Commuted to college. Missed a math test when I was T-boned by a poor, tired student making a left turn from a...

  19. 30 year anniversary

    Fantastic! 37+ years and never looked back. Isle of Man is a helluva way to celebrate!

  20. ROLL CALL new time change
