    Coming home for the holidays!

    Oh my goodness! That's horrible. I am so glad the others are getting to come home. I did my stint in the Marines and I was proud to serve my country. However, sometimes I get the feeling that this "war" or "police action" was in vain. I know we needed to do something but I'm not sure that war...

    Y'All, I Need Help From You Women Folk

    If she's an outdoor woman, how about a gun or a new backpack? I don't know about the gift card. I agree with some of the others that it seems a bit impersonal to me. Does she need a new coat or something like that? My wife likes perfume too. She doesn't wear it when she's out in the woods but...

    Hiking naked?

    I certainly wouldn't do it. Can you imagine the places you would be scratched by brush? It has to be painful and I'm just not into pain at all. I would rather avoid pain than to cause it myself! :)

    I Miss Some Of My Birds

    Naw, you didn't upset me. I was just joshing you! :tinysmile_twink_t2: Gotta tease somebody or my day's just not complete! I never heard of the dude, but I'll be watching him on YouTube now along with Penn and Teller. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

    What Do You Use To Heat The Hacienda?

    So what do you use to heat your home? I would love to have an outdoor wood burner to heat my home and hot water. I have thought of using one of those for a long time. Right now we use electric and honestly, I'm getting tired of the bills and looking at a long term solution.

    I Miss Some Of My Birds

    oldsarge- :( I like birds.....sniff,sniff) I love to watch the little ones act like there cussing each other out. The will quarrel with each other and then they chase each other off. Then they come back to the feeder and do it all again.

    Alec Baldwin

    Coz-I wish I didn't know, but he's everywhere every time he decides to misbehave. Whether it's having a fit over his kid or with his kid, or arguing over a stupid phone, he is always in the news. Or so it seems to me. I don't watch a lot of TV so I don't see a lot of junk TV or movies, but I do...

    Teacher mauled by wolves

    Any wild animal is dangerous. But, wolves will kill for the thrill and not for necessity. They are huge, dangerous canines that can tear out any animals throat in an instant if they hit in the right spot immediately which they very often do. They, as well as wild/feral dogs, will stalk any prey...

    Rude people at work

    You just ignore them. Treat them professionally and then don't do anything out of the way for them. Some people can be their own worst enemy and they have suffered because of it.

    Lifting Brace??

    I found my old lifting brace from when I used to work at the hospital in central supply. They issued them to us to use when we were lifting something heavy and they worked. It did keep me working for a few more years. Has anyone ever tried one of these? I am going to keep it out to use when I go...

    Arthritis and Hiking

    I like the idea of using the tumeric or the oil of wintergreen. I have discovered a wonderful product called "Biofreeze". It comes in several forms but I usually will buy the roll on. It's wonderful for arthritis and other aches and pains. It works quite well and will give me relief for about an...

    Got a whole gang of turkeys

    Pathfinder1, We tried that with quail. Unfortunately, as soon as we released them, there were all kinds of poaching. I don't understand why people who like them don't just go ahead and raise them on their own. I've done that too and I love quail meat. They're small but delicious!

    Are there any snow shoe enthusiasts out there?

    I'm not much for snow. I don't like the cold or the snow. I have too much arthritis to enjoy the cold that much. Now when it comes to warmer weather, then I could hike or do anything I want.

    The Best Ride Ever

    That is so much fun! We have been on a ranch a couple of times for vacations. One had a week long ride and camp trip. It was a lot of fun.

    Backtrack GPS?

    Say, that does sound handy. There is a small pond where I like to go fishing and it's very remote. I usually have to place a few markers in the thick brush in order to make sure I find the right path back.

    Wireless Router Trouble

    I've been trying to set up a neighbor's wireless router that she got when she was out on Black Friday and this thing is driving me crazy. I'm going to get it set up if it's the last thing I do. Dratted new-fangled gadget.

    Pumpkin Rolls-Argh!

    We made pumpkin rolls all day today. My wife and I started at around noon and just got done at 8:45 pm. The cleaning is still not done and it's not going to be done tonight. I'm bushed! Do you make anything special for the holidays? We finally wound up with 8 to give to friends. But, oh my...

    Friend Got One!

    Very nice. Has he gotten his quota yet? I haven't been out this year, but I have in the past and it makes for a very nice roast when the snow is blowing outside.

    Capsized Boat

    People tend to take water for granted. It can be treacherous even on the best of days. You never know when it's going to turn on you and kill you very dead.

    How Do Grizzlies React to Loud Noises?

    I wouldn't have the slightest idea. I have heard what Ponderosa has stated too. It does seem to give them an early warning and they really would rather avoid humans than initiate a visit.
