When I was a little kid, my mother made these for me, and 70 years later, I'm still making them. Butter the bread (no sandwich is really a sandwich unless the bread starts out buttered), apply REAL peanut butter (like Jif), then mayonnaise, then fresh, crispy lettuce. Tastes great with a cold...

Just 2-1/2 acres of plush sod to keep mowed and trimmed, with another acre out front....

"It is NOT your job to go out there and give your life for your country - it's the other poor ***********'s job to go out there and die for HIS country, with your help." General George C. Patton, 1943 ;)

I bought my first Marlin 39-A new in 1963 when I was stationed in Texas, and carried it all over the state for several years after rabbits, varmints, etc., and sold it locally before we headed back home in 1965. Got the itch for a 39-A again two years ago, and after a lot of looking, found a...

I'm still waiting for mine - my FFL has had a CZ75 D PCR on order for me from his distributor for four months; they're "on allocation", and he can't get me a firm date. :mad:

I spent 3 years in the Army, then 38 years with GM and Chrysler; moved 14 times, designed and built 4 homes from scratch, including the last one, our retirement home, which we built when I retired in 2001. The only way we're leaving this one is in rubber bags. :rolleyes: Congratulations! Enjoy...

I had a right lower inguinal hernia repaired (the old way, with an incision) about 1982 or so - everything worked out fine, but the first week you should pay attention to all the cautions mentioned earlier in this thread so you don't inadvertently aggravate the repair or the incision. There are...

Only metal & wood guns here - I'm a traditionalist, and a large sign in my shop says, "NO UGLY GUNS". :rolleyes:

I have a Henry "Golden Boy", and I think it's an outstanding rifle - fit/finish/function and accuracy are first-rate. I also have a 1967 Marlin 39-A Mountie, so I'm familiar with leverguns. :)

I have a 2010-built (S&W) stainless .380 PPK/S, and it's one of my favorite handguns - terrific machining and fit/finish, accurate, and reliable. :)

Great choice! Do you know which distributor your FFL got it from? My FFL (also CZ dealer) sez they're on "allocation" and he can't give me a date other than "it's ordered - just have to wait until it shows up". :(

February 27, 2001 was my birthday, and it was the day I retired at age 60; it was also the day I didn't get on the Gulfstream V to fly to and conduct a new plant construction review, and was the last day I ever cared one way or another how I was dressed (even though we quit wearing suits and...

I'm 78 and retired, and go to our heated and cooled indoor 14-lane range on weekdays, usually between 8-11 AM or 1-4 PM so folks who are still working have a shot at it; I don't even try on weekends - the place is packed, including the kids with AR's. I usually go for an hour or two, and...

Our "MAX" is simply a love-sponge; exactly what my wife has always wanted. ;)

We've been through them all over the last 30 years, but we made the right choice ten years ago and bought three Sleep Number beds - one for her, one for me, and one for guests. My wife has had lower back problems all her life and major invasive back surgery nine years ago. Back was fine for...
