Thanks, everyone, for your advice. Thanks for the barricade suggestion. I'm working out furniture arrangements and door replacement, along with exterior motion sensor lights. Interior walls are a big concern for me as my bedroom door faces one with a neighbor. I will look for a used shotgun and...

Balderdash, hmm?? Them's pretty strong words... ;) Thanks for your thoughts. How much does a shotgun spread at 10-15 feet? I have a lot of corners and interior stairs to deal with. Do you have any advice for dealing with abrupt corners with a shotgun/rifle? I think I could manage it with a...

I'm so sorry to hear that, gdnagle. I hope your lawyer can help out. I'll keep you and your wife in my prayers. Agreed on OB--care and the current hiring environment. What a mess.

I sincerely hope you're right. I'm still going to go with my gut on this though.

Thanks guys. I thought I put it in there - they let me go. I'm fired. I've never been fired before. I'm grateful they did. Apparently my honesty made them really, really angry. I documented stuff and gave it to HR before I was fired. Apparently that also made them really angry (including HR...

I don't feel comfortable going into great detail about this so I'm going to try to summarize and leave specifics out. I accepted a position at a company a few months ago. They assigned me to the back room. Constant hateful comments were made by my coworkers and boss toward an elderly...

That's why I'm not a teacher presently. The compensation doesn't keep up with the cost of living. That teachers are not valued the same as other professions discourages many from pursuing it. This, in turn, exacerbates the problem of having less-qualified teachers in the classroom. My aunt...

It is awfully easy to take verbal pot shots at teachers' performance, especially on an Internet forum. Sometimes teachers are to blame -- I've certainly met a few during my life who were absolutely terrible. Most that I've met were good people trying to make a difference. My mom and her sister...

Dad showed me "The Thing from Another World" when I was 3. I still haven't recovered. THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD TRAILER 1951 HOWARD HAWKS - YouTube

Hey, sorry if that came across as if I were speaking about Canadians. I meant the legal governing structure, not the folks. :rolleyes:

Just a heads up: there's a really touching memorial segment on the show tonight about Glen Doherty, the Navy seal who was killed at Benghazi. It should be up again in a couple of hours if you want to DVR it.

We have a lot of great names for Boulder, but in this case "30 Square Miles Surrounded by Reality" applies pretty well.

I would check with a verified legal Canadian source. Canada has strange gun laws and is very anti-handgun. edit* here, read this: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5044-eng.html

I shop at Walmart frequently. It's not because I agree with everything that Walmart does. Rather, it's that it irritates my pro-union, anti-2nd Amendment cousins. I really do enjoy that. Is that bad? *edit* By the way, if you want good service at Walmart, go around 11pm-1am. The stockers know...

I don't mean to sound unkind but is there a brand of Roobios that doesn't taste like (sorry) a wet log? I love black and green tea but red/Roobios just hasn't seemed to click with my taste buds. I tried the Twinings and Celestial Seasonings brands with no luck. Maybe I'm preparing it incorrectly...

'Merican. (This post is too short; hence I have provided this long, meandering and erstwhile superfluous sentence which might extrapolate on the finer points of speaking in the language of a free man in a free country, unaffiliated and unbowing to either king or dictator, abiding by common rule...

The populace of Deer Trail is around 12, give or take a couple. :)

Meanwhile, back at the Batcave... :D

Wow. That hits the nail right on the head.

I would buy it. Even if you were to resell it, you'll easily make your money back plus profit.
