Having just come into some property with a decrepit old fence, I was wondering about what my dad used to call "fishing pole plants" . It is thin bamboo with all the durability of its bigger brother. It is considered a nuisance plant around here and grows wild and quick. I had an idea and wanted...

I have worked in that industry far longer than I wanted to. But that is not why I am writing this today. No, it is NOT a security guard bashing thread and I ask everyone to keep it that way. Most people generally look down their noses at security guards. Underestimation is a bad thing. A lot of...

Left us at 87 of natural causes. While her role on MASH is one she is remembered for most, I remember that she went from being a villain to a hero during the run of the series.

Moderators, please bear with me here...this is not what you think. My mom passed away earlier this month at the ripe old age of 92. As is par for such matters, I am going through her personal effects. One of those personal effects I wrote about in another section of this forum. There was one...

Medium frame with 3 inch heavy barrel and fixed sights. 38 Special. Looks and handles like a Model 10. Had some surface rust and was dirty...in the process of cleaning it up. Trigger is BEYOND horrible in both SA and DA. I figure it is from the 70's-early 80's...certainly doesn't look like...

Need advice here. My Yahoo mail is telling me that the three browsers I use are no longer supported. As a result, I have no access to emails. Anyone have any ideas as what I have seen from Yahoo/google/microsoft is pointless.

It seems a grad student in Michigan reports that he was having a conversation with Google Gemini...a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence. It appears the chatbot started telling him that he was worthless and a blight to the universe and then told the grad student "Please Die...Please." I...

I didn't want to hijack the other threads on the two astronauts stuck on the ISS but I did want to submit something for all of you to think about. Fact is we are GENERATIONS away from ANY serious space exploration. There is no Enterprise...no Orville...no Discovery. Only very small and very...

Few years back, I bought a Reminton 870 "firearm"...you know, short barrel, birdshead grip. Same league as a Mossberg Shockwave. Problem is all I have to do is look at it and it rusts. Not just surface, but RUST. It is a constant struggle to keep it free of rust but have found right now it's...

Hopefully someone here can give me a reasonable answer. I always thought criminal proceedings took precedence over civil ones i.e. if a person(s) are brought up on criminal charges for a major crime...that would be dealt with in the courts first with the civil coming afterwards. I'm not going...

I didn't want to hijack Bekeart's post with something unrelated but similar. As many of you have seen, I've posted about scams and the like with far too regularity than I like. Today while grocery shopping, I discovered a new one. Bear with me. Having unloaded my groceries into my truck...

Friends actor drowned at his home in California. 2023 claiming a lot of celebrities.

David McCallum left us at 90. I didn't think he was that old. After Man From UNCLE, he starred in Sapphire and Steel over in England and NCIS over here. 2023 just won't stop, will it?

Happened to me around lunchtime while shopping. I was going into on of the local stores when I saw a LARGE black with heavy crome trim GMC pickup pull in. Naturally, a nice truck will call attention to itself as it did with me. The driver parked and got out. He had jeans with the holes in them...

Not the new series...the original with Jack Lord. I noticed McGarrett wearing an unusual shoulder holster. It clipped to the belt but only went over one shoulder like a carry-on bag. An old early TV show called "US Marshal" had its main character wearing one like it. Anyone know who made this...

In a recent thread on spam calls, member 'deadin' dbrought recieving calls from these people. I wanted to comment on that but in a different thread. I have a 90 year old relative who is recieivng constant calls from these people to the point of that is what the vast majority of her phone calls...

For my new post I had to take the American Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid course. These days its on line instead of an active classroom. It has been over twenty years since I had that certification and of course things have changed quite a bit...but one thing that concerns me is the use of a...

Today I read of his passing of cancer. Conroy was a minor actor on TV and in the movies, but his most famous acting career wasn't his face. It was his voice. Conroy was the THE definative voice of Batman in animated media, animated movies, video games, and so on. It has been that way since the...

In my experieince, I have found this to be true for the most part. My reason for asking is this is professional in nature. I have noticed a lot of high profile suspects...the suspects that have done acts recently in the news that have caused so much indescrible (sic) pain, suffering, and...

...regardless of branch or timeframe. Has anyone here ever heard of or actually saw a recruit get off the bus during the "yellow footprints" phase and go off on the Drill Instructors and tell them that the DI's would now be taking orders from them? (Reason: met a young man today in his late...
