As one of the veterans who served during peacetime, I always feel a little weird when someone thanks me for my service. Yes, I was willing to fight...
Very nice pics, Bunnie. Is the red real? Not many of us red heads around, just curious.
I made a list? I didn't think anyone even remembered I was here!
So many favorites... The Deed of Paksenarrion series (brain fart-can't remember who wrote it) Armor by John Steakley Time Enough for Love -...
Yeah, I don't post much, just read mostly. I'm a vet though, I think I've posted that a couple of times on here. USAF, AFSC 81150, 1981-1985.
Got pretty interesting here right around 1530. We had a touchdown about 50 yards from where I was standing, thankfully it was a small funnel. All...
On behalf of all Braves fans, you're welcome. He was obviously not happy here, maybe he will be happy up north. He was one of my favorites until he...
Yes, True Blood is cool...until it is microwaved.
If these "lower class residents" decide to move onto my lawn and erect another crappy shack to live there, how do you think I'm going to react? If...
Also with respect, until you've tried it (and I've never - ever - had anyone not love my steaks) don't knock it.
Next time you cook a steak, adjust the coals so they're close to the grilling surface and leave it there for a minute or so. Place your steak on the...
I'm married to one. She is larger now than when we married, but she's still the same person I fell in love with. Heck, I'm bigger now than then,...
Braves are 1-0!! Perfect season if they quit right now!
Believe. It's true today, just as it was in 1988, just as it will be 50 years from now.
All I ever got to see of Wales was Cardiff, but that looks to be a very scenic area. Enjoy yourself!
I was quite proud when I heard McCain make that statement. That's the kind of political thinking we all should have.
For me, it was The Hobbit at age 6.
When I was in (as an 81150 Security Policeman) we were issued live rounds for our deployments to the MinuteMan sites. I don't recall ever dragging...
You need to include "We also walk dogs".
You might not be aware that the "whites" that blacks bemoan are the same ones that many whites bemoan.
Yeah, since most Americans consider a 1:1 kill ratio getting "smeared". If I recall correctly, the odds were drastically stacked in the Indian's...
Yes, our growing Southern economy is a sure sign that we will never rise again.
I think we "righties" are not afraid of his Presidency, we are simply afraid of the results of his likely policies. His record, what there is of it,...
At a prison at which I once taught drafting, there was a young black male named "Shithead". It was actually pronounced Shith-ed. You know his...
Honor Harrington
His "Legacy of the Aldenata" series absolutely rocks.
Even using the numbers shown here, 12.4/100,000 = .000124. Multiply that times 1,500,000 = 186.
I said a 4, simply because everyone is inherently racist to one degree or another. I don't act on these feelings, but they're there.
Heinlein's Starship Troopers was - almost - redone a few years ago in a different novel by a guy named John Steakley. The name of the book was...
John Carter of Mars would be possible with today's technology, and likely highly entertaining if done faithfully. Smith's Lensman series would be...
Uh, Shepard Smith is from Holly Springs, Mississippi. Sorry to pooh-pooh the conspiracy!
If you have no mechanical skills at all, you're likely better off with a revolver. These also have the most powerful rounds, as there are no recoil...
I can't believe you people would put up with crap like has been written on this thread. Are you actually serious?
Uh, she generally starts helping me pick/mop up whatever was spilled.
My chili dogs with chocolate milk was wonderful. I may, however, blow up soon.
As a fundamentalist Christian, I can truthfully say I don't think it's anyone's business if it "pushes an atheist agenda." More power to 'em. Maybe...
Gotta be WWII. There were clear-cut reasons for the Allies to fight, and there were clear-cut enemies. WWI falls short because it killed at least...
I work there, yeah. Only been to Mobile once, it wasn't bad. I actually live about 20 miles from Huntsville, so I sleep in relative quiet. Don't...
256, waaaaaay up in North Alabama. You from here, too?
Berkshire was pretty nice when I was stationed there, but I do live in Alabama, so take that for whatever it's worth. Most of us down here don't...
Separate names with a comma.
