I walked the excess lenghth off of hand me down clothes. Now those clothes were for working on the farm. School had a dress code clean...

    Scouting anyone?

    W.A. Mack I agree with you that the scouting expericance depends on the troop and the leadership. I am only a parent volunteer myself. Our Troops and Dens would be a failure if it wasnt for volunteers to lead activites and add to motivation of the scouts.

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I got the game and played it for a couple of days. I liked the game really did except for one problem I hated the interview questions. They were no where near what I would have asked. Just drove me crazy.

    What do I do about my dog?

    Sorry I did not make myself clear but my Puppy Prozac idea is only a last resort. I do not like the idea of drugging animals unless it is for thier own safety. Forgive me everyone.

    What do I do about my dog?

    Please do not give up on him because he will not give up on you. Sounds like he has seperation problems how long have you stayed away from home at any given time. and standing outside the door does not count because he can smell you on other side of door. See if a neighbor can keep an ear out...

    9mm or 45cal

    I have had various use of 45acp and 9mm over my years in the US Army I like them both but will always go back home to the 45acp. I just remember this quote from training. "If you shoot a man in the pinky finger with the 45 he will fall because he will think he just lost his hand." Never been...

    Do you think you're drawn here because of past life memories....

    This may sound funny but... I believe it is in our DNA to have "Class" or to be Classy People. We can all look not too far back in our families and find one or many people who impress with style. Personally when I was a teen I hated hats suits and such because I did not want to be my Dad or...

    Hiking food.

    I vote for the hard tack or a pack of saltine crackers in your pack. I do not know how long you plan on being out there. But the crackers or wafers are good for settling the stomach or fighting off quick stepp. Just in case you drink some bad water. Now if that does happened get to a doctor as...
