    What do you like to do?

    I told the surgeon that I wanted to be able to see the front sight and the 10 ring clearly. A shooter himself, he didn't need any further explanation. :LOL:

    Pardon the Pun, But I'll Pass On This Car

    I used to love motorcycles. Cars are obviously fine. That thing looks like it offers the worst features of both. No! No! No! (n)

    Senior Forums! How do you read and what do you read?

    For myself, I access Senior Forums from the desktop in my study, typically at the start of my day. Only occasionally (like now) do I check back in at other times. I click on New posts and scan through about five pages of threads. If I hover the cursor over a thread title and just see a link...

    Would You Like Your Receipt?

    That almost never happens to me EXCEPT at the gas station nearest me. It irritates me as well. :mad:

    Is anyone using Britbox?

    We got Britbox a while back for under $90 for a one year subscription. We've found a lot of programing that we like. For a few of the shows, I find subtitles for the British-ese impaired to be essential. :LOL::ROFLMAO:

    Latest news: Man accidently

    With rifles, distance traveled isn't so much a function of caliber as it is muzzle velocity and bullet shape but yes, rifle bullets can travel long distances. That's one reason all of the deer hunters I know generally hunt with shotguns. I believe most states limit rifle hunting to certain low...

    Cursive script on lined paper

    We were taught it (minus the silly little curliques) but in the sciences writing in cursive was discouraged. Much was actually printed on quadrille paper. I rarely use cursive now.

    Past Memories of Little Consequence (Why now?)

    While working in Florida during the 1990s I would often stay at the lodge at Wakulla Springs near Tallahassee. Some of Weissmuller's Tarzan movies were filmed there. (As well as Creature from the Black Lagoon ) :LOL:

    A "poor person hack"

    Skinless chicken breast has the highest protein to calorie ratio of any common meat. White fish like haddock and cod are second. I think of these as "smart man's meals". :)

    Genius marketing for the masses

    Bottled "spring water" (aka plain old well water in a fancy bottle). Cans of air for cleaning electronics. :ROFLMAO:

    Genius marketing for the masses

    Out of curiosity, I once bought a package of crumpets from Whole Foods. My impression was of dry. flavorless English muffins with far fewer "nooks & crannies" :sick:
