My old man, a judge who has a relatively small arsenal AND a concealed carry license, is heavily discouraging me from purchasing a firearm. He says with kids in the house, especially stupid teenagers, it would be a non-starter for him (hypocrite). That said, he said if I was hell-bent on buying, he'd go with me to make sure what I'm buying is correct and I'm not getting screwed by a dealer. Pistol-grip Mossberg shotgun and a Glock pistol with at least an 8 round mag. Possibly happening this weekend. Possibly. And my 12 year old is asking for a new iPhone. Priorities. No offense but this post makes zero sense. You need to listen to someone other than your old man and there has been plenty of good information given in this thread but I'll expand on why that advice is wrong. Since you don't shoot guns having a pistol grip 12gauge is a bad idea because you will never be able to handle the recoil. Are they good guns...yes, for someone like yourself probably not. It would be much better to get a shotgun that you can stick in your shoulder. When it comes to the Glock I still can't wrap my head around why you would want a pistol more suited for concealed carry....it makes no sense. It's easy with todays technology to keep your pistol loaded and secure....no excuses. Millions of people have firearms that are not only inaccessible to their children but also readily available to them at a moments notice. Noted and will do more research. I only have one person advising me.

just fit very comfortably into size 36 jeans, and an L tshirt. not since high school. maybe freshman year of college if i can do it, you can't too I don't think I've worn a 36 since late college. Down to a 38 now. Lost almost 50lbs since this time last year. Bumped into a guy I haven't seen in years and he didn't recognize me. Felt really good.

Got a few eclipse glasses for the kiddos. Should be interesting to see which one of the morons goes blind first.

Isla Fisher is single now. I could totally get her. Redheads love me for some reason.

Re: Bowers - I know he can catch and is dynamic with YAC. What I care about is his blocking. If Hackett/Rodgers have any brain, we're going to be seeing a lot of 12 and 13 formations to give Breece as much space with the ball as he needs to break off a big run. Now if Hackett/Rodgers can scheme to have Bowers chip a block and peel off to the middle of the field, which Rodgers doesn't like throwing to, there may be some value, but teams will watch the film and pick up on it every time. Viewing current mocks, it'll either be Odunze or Bowers. I'd much rather have a WR of the Larry Fitzgerald build than an undersized catching TE. However, the emerging knock on Odunze is that he cannot generate much separation ... I've heard tht as well. Picking at 10 sucks this year. Any OL we take will sit in year one, barring an injury. You want/need a 1st round rookie to contribute immediately, so forget OL. Then you have a "generational" TE who was schemes into position in college which might not translate to the NFL. Then there's a physical specimen of a WR who isn't great at separating from DBs. I'd love to trade back and recoup a 2nd, but who is willing to trade?

The one in Oceanside? I hear that place is never too crowded, as opposed to the one in Carle Place, which is a fucking daily nightmare. We joined BJ's to not deal with the parking. Yeah, it can get crowded but never as bad as Carle Place. Today it was the least crowded I've seen it. Always parking available even when crowded though. Liquor store and gas are also bonuses. During the winter my girls have indoor lax in Freeport, but the place is just off the Meadowbrook. Carpool moms have arguments about who's driving because there's a BJ's, Marshalls, Target, and Home Goods right across the street.

Was driving to Costco with wifne (South Shore LI) and didnt feel a thing. Daupne started texting from school as soon as we walked in. She said the whole school shook and she was only a few miles from us.The lighting in Costco is suspended by chains but when I looked up, not one was swaying even a bit which they still would have been had the store been impacted. Sopne is at LaGuardia airport and didnt feel a thing either though his co-workers a few miles away felt it strongly in College Point. Weird,the disparate impact. The one in Oceanside? I hear that place is never too crowded, as opposed to the one in Carle Place, which is a fucking daily nightmare. We joined BJ's to not deal with the parking.

Lasted for almost 10 seconds where I am in Nassau on LI. I was in the kitchen emptying the dishwasher, wifne was upstairs getting dressed and screamed. She ran downstairs and was like "Was that an earthquake?!" and I said "Yeah. All done." And she's freaking out about aftershocks. Got an email from the kids school about it. 8th grade daupne said principal didn't even use the work "earthquake" because, in her mind, he didn't want to scare anyone. Well welcome to 2024, stupid kids!!

I dont either. Technically I am indifferent and dont want us getting involved. If people really cared about China and Russia they would put their money where their mouth is. Even Covid didnt get the world off China's nipple. And after Russia has done the EU still isnt buying energy from us. We barely offer. Just stop the Chinese nationals from flooding my country through the southern border and airports. And let the Jews and Arabs fight their blood feuds in their shitholes, not mine. As the son of a son of a son of a son (etc.) whose ancestors looked at an oppressive regime, said "Fuck you, we'll do it ourselves," I have a hard time NOT siding with Taiwan. That said, I'd like nothing more than to stay out of their squabble. As for the Jews and Arabs, I was on record on 9/11/01 to turn the Middle East to glass. My opinion hasn't changed.

No. Also sucking - Aerosmith, Steve Miller, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Weezer and solo John Lennon. I'm sure there will be more. + Red Hot Chili Peppers. Agreed about ACDC. Love their old stuff with Bon Scott. Since, Every single song is the same now. Serious question though, when you have massive hits like Back in Black, Hells Bells...etc, do you still get psyched to play it for 10 Millionth time live, or are just fucking sick of it? They were in every fucking sports "warm up" playlist I've ever heard.
