I have that issue somewhere around here! I can't remember who wrote the article, but his words were LESS than complimentary about this pistol with the stinging declaration "Buy it is you must...but you couldn't give it to me!"

Yes (raising my hand). Not too long ago as a matter of fact.

A former associate lived in the UK for three years working in the energy business in the 80's. This was when the good Samaritan laws were coming to pass here. He their government's official line was: "Leave it to the professionals...." In other words if someone was having a heart attack in front...

I've heard so much stuff about this situation I find it difficult to separate fact from truth or speculation right now. I figure with the smoke clears a lot more will come out about this case. I am not too surprised or shocked by anything that happens in California these days.

BINGO! Dealt with this quite a bit over the years. In today's business enviroment, such things are relatively commonplace. Workers and managers are EXPENDIBLE in all cases and for all reasons. A lot of times the business will support the customer AGAINST the employee. As far as law enforcement...

I have NO idea. All he told me was he had it sent back to the plant because it "kept rupturing cases" (FWIW....he was using 32 Short Colt..I found some of the old cartridges years ago and not the .32 S&W cartridges it was designed for....*shrugging my shoulders*)

To say what I think of her would get me kicked off of here quick. She "claimed" at one point she was born again and was sorry. Of course, being an actress...welllllll..... I have seen some interviews done with her recently. If anything, she has gotten FAR worse in her remarks. She is a pathetic...

I have had two employers tell me that to my face. To quote one directly "I don't pay you to get sick, have a day off, or a vacation. When you work for me, I am the first, foremost and most important thing in your life. Everything else is secondary...." He ended with telling me if I didn't like...

OUCH! Didn't notice that!

CW Spook, you bring up some interesting points. Used to be the standard issue police unit had a single Federal Signal Beacon ray bubblegum machine and a siren and not the multi-noise/multi purpose noise making devices of today. Now they look and sound like a UFO and sound worse when running...

...and not for the better. Out of curiosity, I ran one of my old pics through an AI program. What came back was me in a mini skirt and long blonde hair! I looked so good I wanted to ask me out! I would share the picture here, but I deleted it. Besides, that pic would have not only got me...

The Guadalupe is a shallow river to say the least, but the flood waters rose literally in minutes. She went from a quiet stream to a deadly torrent. Sad to say this is not the first time this has happened (Bunch of kids got washed away back in 84-85 I think)

^^^^THIS! Sadly it is only getting worse. Social media is bad about this and it's not only the big brother watching you, a lot of private employers with no reason to do so often demand access to employees social media, email, etc. Failure to provide such usually results in unemployment. I have...

My personal favorite was a very short lived television show called "Vengeance Unlimited" in which Mr. Madsen played a "Mr. Chapel" a George Hayduke-type of character in which he unleased Murphy's law to the nth degree on people who messed other people over. I thought of it as a wonderful show...

A postscript to my entry above and I note this only for the ironic hilarity of the subject...and it somewhat relates to the topic. Seems Britain wants to redesign their pound sterling note. Yet every design suggested offends or could possibly offend someone or something. This rampant...
