See my "I'm just saying" thread.

I'm glad that pawngal wasn't my ex-wife's lawyer!

You just made my "Hero of the Day" list!

Free ammo? Count me in!

IIRC there was also a four-bill series celebrating education that is not well known but just as beautiful.

We're watching it. The special effects alone are worth the price of admission.

I just wish we would get to the place in this country where we wouldn't have to comment on the gender or race of someone that does good or bad. It should not be remarkable that a hero is a woman. A person's actions should speak for themselves by this time in our history.

Just as this forum belongs to someone and he makes the rules here Dick's is owned by someone/s and are free to make their own decisions. I just wish every business owner (Chickfila, Hobby Lobby) was allowed to do the same without interference.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Never ask a question of someone making minimum wage.

I don't understand your reference. Hood was sunk by gunfire and other than the threat of submarines U-boats did not play a role in that action. ASW is a team sport. ASW helos and long range patrol craft do the biggest part of tracking threats. This would probably be called in for the kill.

Manpower is one of, if not the, biggest cost for the military. The research into drones of all kinds and artificial intelligence is exploding including somethings I probably can't talk about. It is said that our last fighter pilot has already been born. The only thing holding back the use of...

I bought Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen at a used book sale and just finished it. I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a great story, very well told, about a disappearing part of American life. She is a terrific writer and I think this is an American classic.

Not opening day here in The Lou but the Cards just finished their coldest game ever. Ever, as in 127 years! It was in the low 30s and several players were wearing the baseball version of a ski mask. There have been colder sports games played St. Louis but they were all football. I spent many...

Aircrew on both sides constantly had the "trots" from breathing the castor oil fumes. Later planes got bad reps when they tried to substitute another kind of oil.

This was taken after he was awarded the PLM. You can see him wearing it in the last clip while inspecting the plane he shot down. He got the PLM on 12 Jan 1917. Assuming the date (3-9-1917) is written in European style is was 3 Sep 1917 and not March. On that day he shot down Sopwith Pup...

An F-22 hit your house?!:eek:

Not true. If it were the gun could not be serviced or replaced. It is true that the plane was designed with the gun in mind. It is more of a weapon system than an aircraft. Much like the Fokker Eindecker. Neither one would have a purpose without their guns. And this is the airplane the...

During. I like to multitask.

Because 600,000 becomes 60,000,000 and goes around the world in a matter of minutes. It is called social media and welcome to the 21st century.

I'm in. Now I wish I had a longer name.
