    Our Most Lethal Sniper

    They should make a sniper movie out of his story. I love those kinds of flicks when they are good. I know it's nothing like the real thing in a movie, but they are entertaining. I've taken a liking to the few sniping documentaries I've watched on the Military Channel as well.

    Lottery checks bounce

    I just found out that they Powerball tickets will now be 2 bucks a piece. That is crazy! You're already dealing with ridiculous odds and now you will be able to only play half the chances if you want to stay in a budget that doesn't make you an addict. Is this just greed or what? I didn't...

    I don't think I could do it

    I agree with oldsarge because I wouldn't have any idea on how I'd react in that situation. I can fantasize and pretend what I would do, but I'd probably be scared out of my mind. Adrenaline can make you do things so who knows. Don't try this at home though. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

    Lottery checks bounce

    What do you mean by that Firedancer? I've never heard anything bad about Illinois. Of course it's gambling dinosaur, but you still get paid when you hit. There's no way around that when the government is involved collecting tax dollars from it.

    Lottery checks bounce

    I read an article today that 85 winners from the lottery in Illinois had their checks bounce when they tried to cash them. They claim it was due to short staffing. I would've thought those guys had so much money on hand that this would never happen since they take in so much from people who...

    Woman shot by cop..."mistakes" her for deer.

    By the points that Chad makes, it sounds like he definitely broke the law. I'm not sure if a severe punishment should be given for it, but I don't like this kind of story at all. It gives fuel to the people that believe citizens shouldn't have guns because they aren't responsible with them. If I...

    Riding as a date

    Correct, but there is always something to learn about a spouse. Also, the topic of horses has never come up. I'm sure if she had a bad experience with them I would've heard about it by now, but it hasn't.

    Riding as a date

    I've been looking for something new to surprise my wife with but I'm looking for something that is romantic. Is horseback riding considered romantic by women? I've seen it in movies, but I don't know if that is how it really is for women or not. I haven't actually done it before, so I think we'd...

    Bear sightings

    My mom snapped some pictures of a young bear on her property that they own some acres of. She always told me they were out there, but I didn't actually see proof until she put them up on Facebook. I hope she wasn't lying and just taking them from the internet. :tinysmile_hmm_t2:

    Falls and Canoes

    It's really not that bad. I learned all I need to know from watching this countless times in movies. :tinysmile_twink_t2: Oh wait, they weren't real? :tinysmile_shy_t: I have no problem with the rapids either, but a large drop in a canoe of all things is just nuts. Not a fan of rocks or my head...

    Am I just a slob?

    I like your sarcastic humor. :tinysmile_kiss_t2: :tinysmile_tongue_t: Really, you're camping in the outdoors as someone said. It's already dirty. Don't be a neat freak. Just enjoy it and as long as there are no odors that make it unbearable, you should be fine. :tinysmile_twink_t:

    Is your tree down yet?

    It's coming down tomorrow. I can always use it for firewood. We have friends that take their Christmas decorations down in the beginning of February. If you ask me, they are just lazy or something.

    Winter Time Backpacking

    I don't know guys this sounds like a battle that should be fought on the Myth Busters show. :tinysmile_twink_t2: I'm not sure who to believe now. Pasty is posting links and you say no. Maybe for some, the keeping the head warm theory works and for others it doesn't.

    Looking for gold

    You sure know your stuff ppine! I guess I just liked the idea of being a treasure hunter and finding something really valuable. It seems more like a childhood dream than a reality. I wouldn't put myself in that danger knowing the risks.

    Winter Time Backpacking

    You're saying that putting on a warm hat will help lessen the cold in my hands? Is that true? My mama didn't teach me that trick. I usually just constantly blow hot air into the palm of my hands.

    too much good food

    Honey baked ham with garlic mashed potatoes and buttered rolls! And for the record, I never get sick of eating no matter how fat I get. Thankfully, I'm not much overweight because I stay active.

    Winter Time Backpacking

    Those are all the right and common suggestions for weather you're talking about backpacking in, but don't forget some hand warmers. My hands are always the worst part to suffer in colder weather. My knuckles turn purple and they hurt.

    Swimming in quarries?

    I think there are many things we did as kids that we would know not to do now. I'm certainly not as brave as when I had no fear of anything. I use to roll down the stairs for fun as a kid. Now, I wouldn't do that because I'd break something and also it just wouldn't be fun anymore. Why couldn't...

    Looking for gold

    I know there is gold out there still to, because I know of a few people that have gone panning for it in creeks. They were telling me about the caves, or mines, but they hadn't looked for it there. I was just wondering about them. I guess they would be dangerous.

    Looking for gold

    I know that you can still pan for gold in certain areas out west, but what about all the caves that were used to find gold? Can you still come across any in those caves or are they all owned by the person who owns the land. There has to be some still left somewhere in them. With the price of...
