I lost all my money when I bought my new furnace and a/c yesterday

Did you get the undercoating and the extended warranty?

 

[Bubba]

The gov't won't allow me to own a gun. I have a medical marijuana license!!

Off as it sounds, check with state, but I was shocked to learn you can buy a flamethrower like a loaf of bread. There's an outfit in a nearby town the makes them, not that expensive either.

I have too, but everyone in my home knows proper gun safety. When some moron kicks in my door at zero dark thirty and the dog goes off, I'm not taking time to chamber anything. Slip the safety off and deal with business.

You are both right. But neither complete IMEO. (Exalted Opinion) -- I have a Condition 1 pistol in my big safe, another one in an innocuous, but easy for me to reach place. For surprise and/or instant fire.

Well, that's another thing. Bubba lives in house by myself, so I don't have children or others to worry about. That's a big difference. I grew up around guns, just an every day item. You must respect them and be responsible and it's no big deal. I don't have kids, but I was one. Trust me. You might think your stuff is hidden, but they probably know right where it is. We did anyway.

Knock the shit out of her one time fighting in your sleep and your Wife would kick your ass. My Wife is actually scared to sleep with me.

I woke up strangling my wife one morning.
Out of a sound sleep and not even dreaming I can recall.

I'm glad I don't have such demons when I sleep. I do have this weird affliction though - I'm a super-light sleeper. My head hits the pillow, and I'm out, but every little tiny aberration from the white noise I have going wakens me. Car goes down the road. Cat jumps off the couch onto the floor...I hear it. Every. Little. Noise. Yet, I awaken refreshed, and not tired or groggy headed.

My wife asks if I ever sleep, because she's never once, not in 30+ years, been able to wake me up. At first it startled her, because she'd come into the bedroom and softly say 'honey?' and I'd already be wide awake and responsive to her. She, otoh, doesn't really wake up until noon on weekends.

Another odd thing is I haven't used an alarm clock since I was in my teens. I can tell myself, even if plumb drunk, that I need to get up at 0300 to go fishing (or whatever) and I wake up 5-10 minutes before that time comes. It's never failed me in all these years.

I use an alarm, but without exception I wake up right before it goes off.

Dreams? I do have a repetitive dream where I just can't get it where I want to be, no matter how hard I try, the way is blocked. Started using that as a trigger to catch myself dreaming. At first, you wake up as soon as you realize you are sleeping. After a while, you will be able to stay asleep in dream state. Now you can do anything!

Another funny dream thing I experience is if I wake up, I can go right back to sleep, and back to the same dream. Dreams are funny things.

Even so far as to see the hatch way into the attic with four words in Yugoslav and I translated them and they were numbers and knew it was the combo to the safe.

Bigg ,approaches the green . With a keen eye he judges the wind ,distance ,location of any obstacles and traps.
Takes his driver ,squares up and a hush goes over the crowd .
His caddy say softly ,"Go Bigg! You better than Harold Washington !."
Bigg gives him a smile and makes a mighty swing.
He connects solidly and the ball goes down the course and landed.
Caddy says Bigg! not so sure on that one.
