I have been debt free most of my life. Had to carry a mortgage on this place for 6 years just because I didn't have that much cash available at the time. According to Social (in) Security I have 54 "work years," no "zeroes." I didn't "allow" all my tax money to be handed to unproductive folks...

I was born in 1953 and regardless of what the "young'uns" think of me I am part of the last group that enjoyed the "real America." "Romanced" countless women, had many great "road adventures," fought a few men, made a metric ton of money, spent a ton and a half, drank more alcohol and "other...

Purdue reps walked around like their stuff don't stink. "They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills." It's always and only all about the money. Joe

"Doctor please, some more of these" "Outside the door she took 4 more......." Ah yes, 5 mg Valium; the most prescribed drug for at least 10 years. They made it at the Hoffman-LaRoche plant in my hometown. My buddy's mom filled the 1,000 tablet stock bottles for 25+ years. needed detox when...

That would be illegal. On the other hand, "We" have flown a couple dozen docs to Hawaii, the Bahamas and other exotic locations for 5 days to hear a "thought leader/early adopter" talk for an hour about a new drug. I personally have brought docs to sporting clays events, strip clubs, wine...

Florida is hot, 138* today. Gators in the lakes, sharks in the ocean. Nobody speaks English, prices are high, wages are low. Everything bites, stings or ***** on the lawn. Traffic is horrendous, schools are bad, roads are always under construction. We keep picking up all the NY'ers wanting...

Stupid deer, I bet it didn’t cross by a “deer crossing” sign:). Joe

By Tuesday it would appear in some kind of pasta dish with other ingredients. We called it "Turkey lurkey" because it was "lurking" in front of the fridge for days by then. Joe

I got this one from an "Ocala forum member" over 20 years ago. Came with "speedloader cutout" targets so I bought these ("black washer") at a gun show for $30. The gun has neither target trigger nor hammer so this is it. Joe

Passed on several years ago. Like many, a great person with “quirks.” Joe

I sold a blue 6” at the last Lakeland show for $1K and it wasn’t near as nice. You did well. Joe

I have been here a long time, met a few dozen members, most times at gun shows. All good people, down to earth and no BS. All have been a good influence and I appreciate that. Joe

It has accoutrements. I'd first ask if he wants to sell it. Next, how much does he want. If he says $1,000, give it back. If he says $500, flip a coin. If he says $100(?), give him at least $300 because he is a friend. Joe

I TRY to miss armadillos; hitting one feels like a landmine at 75. Joe

My wife's ex owns a bar-n-grill about a mile from the house. We don't exchange Christmas cards but his daughter, my step, was down there last year for "crab legs night." She brought me about a pound of leftovers and next day I reheated the lot in butter, threw them on a whole wheat hoagie...
