    My credit card was compromised...

    Captain Steve, It appears that your CC number may have been fraudulently obtained using a credit card "skimmer". In my opinion, this is a real problem. From your post, you've already reached that conclusion. This is a royal PITA since some of these devices can be very difficult to detect...

    Barbecue Sauce Recommendation Needed

    I'll cast my vote for Sweet Baby Ray's: https://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Baby-Rays-Barbecue-Sauce/dp/B0027UKBUA We tried a lot of different sauces when we lived in Austin, and SBR always came out on top as being the best, every time, even better than Rudy's BBQ sauce! Works on all varieties of...

    Computer firewall recommendations, please

    I have no problems with vendors/sellers offering their products free of charge. They know the value of these products. However, my past experience has been that the "free" versions are often scaled-down or de-featured versions of the full or regular product. Additionally, as bigwheelzip...

    Hearing aides ... which one?

    Charlie and all Forum Members, This is a follow up to my 11/15/18 post. For years my family has believed that I was not receiving excellent medical and audiology care (and aids) from the V A. I've taken a lot of heat from them on this subject, and wish that I could eliminate them from my...

    I just received my copy of the "Spring 2020 S&WCA Journal" today. Over the past few months we've been posting information on this "Smith & Wesson Forum" site to have all forum members become aware of the many benefits that are associated with S&WCA membership, including the fact that we'd like...

    Online ammo purchases

    Stocking up on ammunition now is an excellent strategy, and will be money well-spent, beginning perhaps as early as this summer. My primary source has been SGAmmo for several years. I receive e-mails from Sam every week and watch the prices closely. In his letter preamble Sam writes that ammo...

    MS Westerdam, Holland America Line's Unwanted Ship

    MS Westerdam, Holland America Line's Unwanted Ship Yep, a "Staycation" is making a lot of really good sense all the time. A friend is on that ship. $25,000 (includes airfare to-from the port) for fourteen "sea days" just doesn't sound like a great vacation plan to me either! We were planning...

    Best Football Movies - In Honor of "Super Bowl Sunday

    Since "Super Bowl Sunday" will soon be here, I found an article in USAToday that ranked the "Twenty-Five Best Football Movies" (their opinion, not mine). I was pleased to see that about seven of mine made the list. Generally, unless "The Dawgs" are playing, I don't get worked up. I'm still...

    Should YOU Join the S&W Collectors Association?

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I attended my first symposium in Baton Rouge. However, I was certainly very pleasantly surprised from the minute that I met Janice at the Registration Desk. The good news - although the symposium ended, the camaraderie, sharing of information, and new...

    Question on Contractors for Home Improvements...Why No Calls Back???

    Many possible explanations have already been posted. However, from my knowledge and experience, additional explanations may be: 1. Skilled labor, that are reliable (come to work on time, don't have drug or alcohol problems, etc.), have a strong work ethic, etc. are hard to locate these days...

    Depression-era food...

    John, Thanks for allowing us to ponder how our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents used their innovation and creativity to make it through one of the worst economic times in our Nation's history. A "tip of the hat" to jimmyj for remembering grits! Even today, there's not one darn...

    Getting even deeper at Boeing

    Note: I am not an aircraft accident investigator, but I have been flying and engaged in flight operations since the 1960s. I have over 2,000 accident free flight hours. The content of the e-mails that were published today is certainly of concern, especially if this situation is pervasive at...

    Gun shop recommendations near Austin Tx

    I agree with McBrides. You also may find something at Red's Indoor Range. One of our sons lived in North Austin. I went by the Blackjack Gunsmithing shop [(512) 450-3535] I noticed that they have guns for sale in the display case. I have always wanted to stop and talk to them, but so far I...

    Upgrading lighting in safe

    I have a Liberty safe. After I bought it I called Customer Service and they shipped a lighting set to me. I am guessing that it is about 16 feet long, clear, with adhesive backing. It also has the motion sensor which is great. It plugs in to the electrical connection at the inside back of my...
