  1. I figured my wife needed an Indian name too, so after she stepped into the paint pan I named her Painted Foot. She likes it!
  2. I do not know enough computer junk to get a host, get a site, and use computer magic to html my way through it. Now there is a newer, better version than html, and guess what? I don't know it either! I looked for some time for other managed web sites and came up with little. I sure hope that Elliot Lee fixes this, and that after coming out of the trial version things get better.

    Elliot Lee

    Said he will set us up on a licensed version Sunday night. I hope he keeps his word this time. This site is not a one man show. I don't consider this "MY SITE", unless I'm stuck with the perponderance of the bill. If you use it, I ask that you help with the cost. That is only fair. If you don't, I'll be honest, I get a grudge. I work my fanny off for your benefit and now have the bill too. It reminds me of the Little Red Hen. "Not I said the duck, not I said the dog, not I said the pig". All wanted the bread, not all wanted the labor. Tough words, but I'm an up front person. One guy that was a "lurker" is sending $75 though I told him to limit it to $20. Some have been here a long time and give not a red cent. Fair is fair.
  5. I wish I knew of a site that was easy to set up and reliable, but I don't. Does anybody know of one? A thought would be to re-set the forums on EZ and run two boards concurrently. If one is down, heck, go to the other! I do have a major issue to deal with. Right now I'm on a "trial" site that has poster limitations. I am into the complaint process with my credit card company over the hosting dude of this service. What will happen when I win? Will this shut down?
  6. I warned them and they blew me off like EZBoard blew them off. Their response to me was along the lines of, "What has this got to do with this forum?" It was a general forum.
  7. Thank you. That's more than kind.
  8. It's driving me nuts!!!!! As I said, I have contacted my credit card company for a refund. I'm still on trial version after paying and begging to get changed over.

    Texas Bound,

    I'm at Ft. Hood, which is mid-state. Ft. Bliss is probably 8 hrs. west of here.
  10. Oooh, you got me riled up now! Since the hippy movement the country has gone down the moral tubes. Good point- I can't express freedom of speech by tearing up a Koran? I remember in Iraq when I was at a table with other officers. I berated the Muslim religion as being a lie, and evil towards women. The women (went to chapel with me, believe it or not) jumped my butt! I shouldn't judge their culture, they said. Well, I didn't care, but was amazed by their defense. I asked if they wanted to be treated like those Iraqi women? They just wouldn't back down. One of them said that American Christian men beat their women. I told them that was a lie. Anyway, forgive my rant. I liked your points. One liberal Christian I once dated said not to label her. Well, if the shoe fits!
  11. It's a young person's toy, and an older person's business and safety device. I sometimes wonder how some people develop relationships when their ear is on the phone all the time?
  12. We call those "unfunded mandates". You have to do what the "gub-mint" says (give up your guns), and you don't get paid for your loss, right?

    Those Calif. legal people are no gunsmiths, so it is no wonder they confuse themselves!

    Al Qaeda Manual

    It is typical propaganda- we are evil beasts who are out to destroy their world, so no matter how the killing is done, Allah wants us dead. No negotiating is possible, they say. Well, I say that too.
  15. Those both are pretty funny!
  16. http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/trainingmanual.htm Minus the terrorist plans on how to kill.
  17. Stainless steel, .45LC, palm rest. Looks Schuetzen style. One item, Buda, TX, cost about $900. I was tempted, believe you me. They also had a 1 of 1000 Winchester 1888, I think it was, $165,000! Get this, an old 38 Turk for about $300! They are nuts! Same price for a 98k.
  18. I tell ya, I can start to identify with the Founding Fathers. I'm sick of an ever increasingly intrusive and socialistic government. I have been haranged by the Census Bureau to provide the much criticized personal information. It is far too intrusive. It goes beyond your counts. It asks a lot of personal information they don't have any business knowing. In fact, if they want some of that, the Census Bureau can go talk to their comrades at the IRS. I have thrown away both notifications, which warned that by law, I must complete and return the surveys, which benefit your community, blah, blah, blah... Now they called and left a message to call them with my case no. They can kiss my grits! Just like Calif. gun laws, I know it is risky if you live there, but if I did, I would tell them to kiss my grits there too, and public disobedience on a large scale should ensue. If the census people continue to bug me I'll go to my congressman and senators.
  19. I see what you mean. I'm having hard enough of a time finding the right person to talk to about the licensing! Seems there is a big disconnect between the "power board", "free board", and their financial charges. Frustrating!
  20. I'm not sure what you mean, because this is our new site. The contact for this service is going to set it up permanently. Now why he doesn't know my ticket no. for payment, ??? But I guess another service does the billing.

    My Nagant

    That's interesting DT. I hadn't heard that before. I have a couple 91/30's. Not terribly good or bad on accuracy. I'd cut the charge down a bit. Are you following reloading tables?
  22. Swamprat, as hard as times have been for you, I'll pay your ten!
  23. "They come here and they play by our rules and our way of life," Blair said at his monthly news conference. "If they don't, they are going to have to go." I like his attitude!
  24. At this wonderful link there is an American soldier manual for the SKS from 1969. Of particular interest was the operation of the grenade launcher. http://world.guns.ru/rifle/rfl01-e.htm Here is some great reading and links to other SKS reading: http://www.sff.net/people/sanders/sks.html
