I am surprised more people did not hop on this thread.

Its the people on the business end of the firearm that is doing the killing or committing the other lesser crimes.

Tree frogs are goodly to have around, they eat crickets, small cockroaches and other undesirable crawling insects. The must have come in through an open door, window or something because they are not the best swimmers, and would most likely not come through the exit pipes via the septic field...

Everywhere on the planet has its own 'very special' weather patterns this year...

The automobile insurance industry has a lot of statistical data that justifies charging a higher rate on male drivers then female drivers.

Sorry - have no idea what "Sounds like obama talk" means. I would be worried that you feel the child is safer in the woods with other people who had their grandpa's "showing them how" as sufficient education for firearms.

I would suggest seeking a proper gun handling course over 'home schooling' a child to shoot. Specially if you want the result of someone who is skilled in handling a firearm rather then someone who will interpret your habits developed over time. Practice makes perfect after that, so you could...

A lot of people on the eastern seaboard where the storm went are not faring so well. Donations directly to The Red Cross would make a huge difference.

I took a bunch of old paperbacks to the community center garage sale, they take 20% of sales and what does not sell can be donated to charity, we usually inform them to go ahead as well as keep all the monies. All the funds go to charity and no the church before anyone thinks "HEY"... How...

Good to find 'alternate uses' for unsolicited paper goods delivered to you. We also use junk mail under the PTO housing of our old tractor because it weeps a little oil. At least it stops it from seeping into the ground in the equipment shed.

I remember an old ad I kept for ages, the advert prompted me to buy a 640mb hard drive because "it was more memory that you would ever need" (paraphrased but something along those lines). I recently sold most of my ancient relics to a young man who is into the "old old stuff". It included my...

Handy to have if a leg breaks off your favourite parlour chair, you can prop up the broken corner. Also handy to start the wood stove and the old oil burner in the workshop at the back of the barn.

There are areas with generators running so there is power in a lot of buildings, no power in most areas that rely on the grid in New York City but also in areas north east where the storm tracked. A lot of the infrastructure of the electrical and communication grid is underground. Worst is the...

It is very serious and fortunately for the most part people heeded the evacuation orders or it would be much worst. The coast area is pretty much a disaster zone, 16 persons have perished not including the captain of the sailing ship and one crew member caught in the storm just off New Jersey...

I get vaccinated so that I can avoid becoming sick. I can not bring all sorts of germs home with me because a family member has a compromised immune system. There are a lot of people who think they are displaying some sort of strength by soldiering into the workplace while fighting a...

I never have automatic sign on for anything - prevents people from becoming 'me'. Also defeats the advise to 'store your passwords safely' if people can just get on your device and basically click n go anywhere they want... Hope you are feeling better after the flu... too bad Norton or AVG...

If my life was all about music, graphics, video and entertainment I would be 24/7 Mac

I have never been much of a city person so the attraction of doing anything recreational in a city never appeals to me. If you have the time to get out of New York City and into the countryside it is absolutely amazing to say the least. Upstate New York is having the leaves starting to turn...

I would steer away from iPhone 5 - their quality control has taken a nose dive, ill fitting screens, loose internal components and batteries not up to performance levels on all of the phones. The Siri interface is sketchy, which does not settle well with me, I need the voice and screen reply to...

Lots of good software for defense out there, but you need to also relate to the idea that all anti-malware, antivirus (etc) is reactive and not proavtive, so most protection is always at least one step behind, the freeware protection is more then just one step behind...
