The last PBA card I got from a friend has 2009 on it. Does that mean anything in 2010?

Do you know how much that cost him?

So if lots of twits tweet they're a bunch of twats? Yep. and when they send out the tweets they have twatted. Like twats do.

Hmm. Learn something new every day. I guess I did it right the first time. Usually I don't get that lucky

I have been told that plural of online Tweet is Twat.

I don't know that much about it eiher but many of the companies I work for use it to broadcast company info to themselves and customers. The charm is that it can send sms texts to cell phones. That gets around the "logging in" aspect.

Join the Army and get all that experience and more. But more to the question - as much as I don't like the idea of it Twitter seems be becoming exactly the tool of choice for that now.

"As long as I'm mayor, we will never give up or give in to gun violence that continues to threaten every part of our nation, including Chicago," said Daley, Yea, that's what you'll be doing by abiding by the Constitution. :roll:

http://www.military.com/news/article/corps-set-to-field-saw-replacement.html?ESRC=eb.nl I loved my SAW. Hated the 800 rounds I was required to carry. But still, Losing the 200 round belt for 30 round magazines?

I am picturing more of a collapible temp setup in my finished basement. Reload 1-200 at a time then go to the range. It doesn't seem like anything needs to be permanent but my impression is that there is a need to clamp something down securely?

Alright, well I am not going to go round and round on this especially when I agree with so much of what you all are saying. And I want to be clear, I am not disagreeing with what you say, I just don't think it applies in this particular lawsuit. The lawsuit is about discrimination -not a right or entitlement. I believe the lawsuit brought by these particular plaintiff's has some merit. I'm done.

NOT EVEN CLOSE. My dislike is the ENTITLEMENT system. ENTITLED to health care ENTITLED to a job ENTITLED to a car ENTITLED to speak your mind regardless of who or what it offends ENTITLED to take someones money even though they are capable of making their own. IMO - Entitled to F off. - only. Jeez all the guy wants is to remain in a healthcare program for his children while he works for a living and waits for his citizenship. Where did all the other stuff come from?

Soo really, at the core of it is your dislike of Familycare. That is a different issue.

Your broad strokes are painting FAR outside the issue presented. They have been here paying taxes since 1999, are on track to become citizens and have attained permanent resident status. There is nothing indicating they have a plasma TV or high style car. The new laws are going to change their eligibility to family care for lack of another two years. They have been here for 11 years paying taxes in one form or another and actually working. How long do they have to be here? A full generation? How many on Familycare are not working? Yes, I say that they are being discriminated against. There is no reason to knock their elligibilty off for a new arbitrary rule. I prefer my America to adhere to the words inscribed at Ellis Island, within view of the Statue of Liberty. When we lose sight of what America is and call it "deterioration" then I believe we have lost our way. And for those that say "if you can't make enough money to afford health care you should leave," consider this. If I could make more money in this economic climate I would in a heartbeat. I have been making $60,000 less per year than I had previously. Things are tough for everyone. Wouldn't it be great to think I could just opt in to a better paying job? Familycare exists and he should be able to use it.

This part of the immigration debate bothers me. A documented immigrant living and working in the state of New Jersey should not have access to public services that are available to other residents of New Jersey? He is legal and has the income level to show the need. Why would he be blocked? I can understand if the guy wanted to sue for leaf pickup in the fall, but for healthcare? Maybe we just deport him for not making enough money? Wow thats a great definition of the American Way. Guys, He has a greencard and if he gets to the point where he makes enough to get taxed then he will be. I can imagine, after weighing all his options, he decided it is better to be legal and get the crappy state healthcare than to be illegal and have none. This is just the same kind of financial decision anyone would make with kids. This is a good person. Do we dislike good people too? I have to agree with this, despite who said it; "These men and women work hard, play by the rules, and are on the path to citizenship that we have established and that they honor." Lets worry about the illegals more.

One thing I like to tell people about the sprays. I did have occasion to use it once on a guy that really didn't like me dating his ex GF. The stuff has an expiration date and it is best to make sure that it never reaches that. The other is, as KDP said, it works on 90% of the population. In my one expereince I ran into a guy that was not instantly affected. It took about 3, maybe 4 seconds. I had a little struggle with him and let him break off. I left and he followed. I gave a warning, he laughed, I gave another, he kept walking and when the stream hit him he knew what it was and turned. It still got him right on the bridge of the nose. He turned back and said "aw that shit doesn't even hurt." Then it worked. What that means in a practical sense is to use it when the person is far enough away that they can't "grapple" you. In this case I didn't have any fear that this guy could take me but he was just relentless. If I were a little weaker or someone like my former girlfriend and waited until the guy grabbed my arm I would have been in a REALLY bad position. The other thing I did was try hitting him with a "controlled burst." I will never do that again. Garden hose style from now on. apparently this was correct. Read on >

I might just take you up on that. Right now I have a situation where I am working hard to get a regular steady job (after 18 years of freelance). Too much to get into details but sometie after the 4th I would love to look into it further. The most pressing concern for me is what kind of area should I have to set up shop?

Yeesh, almost missed out on mine because I wouldn't eat a 3 day old burrito that was lying in the back seat of my car. brutal..

Have you all ben tracking the coyote attacks in Rye? http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/ar ... 542296.php I think there is at least some leverage to be gained by saying the "have a gun in the house" ruling of the SCOTUS should be looked at as a stepping stone to carrying outside and on ones own property.

Everything costs money except the air you breathe and sunlight. However the line, "They will sue at the expense of taxpayers everywhere" is always used as a last ditch effort to shore up public support on the side that is most backed up into a corner. I have read that line said about so many things it has become quite a farce. The government, state and local, can be sued an will be sued. The only time anyone should take exception to it is when someone wants to fake and injury and get a negligence lawsuit payout. A lawyer told me this was what they call "rolling the dice" with a jury. NOT bringing a valid lawsuit because you fear the taxpayers will suffer is exactly what a guy that knows he will lose wants you to do. OR, failing that, he wants to incite public opinion for those that might be on the fence on the issue, to wiegh in on the side of "why waste our taxes on this stuff when we could be doing that stuff." A common ploy, but with no merit or logical validity because we can sure that the man saying it would have no remorse doing the same if he could for his own agenda.

As it turns out, i just got a membership card and a range pass in the form of a postcard in the mail. There is no mention of any other kind of pass on it but the area that says" membership number" is blank. I imagine the member number gets put in after the safety brief, but that is just my guess.

and it looks good for us http://documents.nytimes.com/supreme-court-decision-mcdonald-vs-chicago?ref=us#document/p1

Yes that's the type I got. I guess I will give a call to see if it is coming. Its only been two weeks but it seems fair enough to call and see where in the process, if any, I am at.

You should have gotten a temporary pass on signup day. Ah, I just joined on their website. Gotcha.
