I'm not armed because I 'feel' inadequate. If some drug fueled thug who's spent the last five years in prison pumping iron breaks into my house with the intention of stealing everything I own and harming my family in the process, I AM inadequate. He will be met with the business end of Mr...

I haven't seen the unions deliberately stifle the work ethic in the union shops I've worked in, Verizon, Bell Helicopter, and my current employer. Maybe that's a stereotype, or maybe it does go in those states where the workforces are more heavily organized such as in the midwest. I'm not going...

Who's protecting them at non-union companies? I've worked for two major airlines, Delta and the one I work for now. (Hint: They are NOT based in the NORTHEAST part of the country, but in the OPPOSITE direction) Delta mechanics are non-union. Where I am now is unionized. Let me tell you right...

I wonder about shows like Storage Wars, Storage Wars Texas, and Auction Hunters, like how much of it is staged for the cameras. Do the buyers really go at each other like that? I've never been to storage auctions, but I have been to estate auctions, city surplus equipment auctions, seized...

It got scooped up out of a lake and dropped into the tree by a helicopter that was fighting a forest fire! And you always thought that was just an urban legend!

I like that 70 Roadrunner!

I was listening to Charles Stanley the other night and he offered some good advice. Very simply, get busy. Find something for your hands to do. Chop wood, work on the car, fix stuff around the house, but get busy with your hands. Dr. Stanley's advice was directed more towards people with anger...

Will lift you up in prayer. I've been down this road and can say in no uncertain terms that I know what you're feeling.

Shoot me a PM if you need to. I work in ministry and might be able to share some things that could be helpful.

Will do!

Haven't had much luck on CL lately. I did manage a good barter last year. I traded a Marlin 22 mag for a complete disc brake setup for the 71 Demon out in the garage. I've listed some specialty aviation maintenance tools and had no response whatsoever. As I've come to find out, tools of any...

Before I open the link, is it family friendly? I have things I'd rather not recall also and I don't want to add to the list.

I had a 71 Chevelle for a number of years. I came back to Mopar because that's what I owned in high school. It was like returning to my roots. The Chevelle was fun, but full frame cars are much more difficult and expensive to restore. I'm getting too old to be yanking bodies off frames.

Where are you and your biological family from originally if you don't mind my asking? Just curious and if you'd rather not answer, that's okay. But it could be a cultural issue like someone mentioned earlier.

That's really how you need to be. You don't want to harbor any anger or resentment toward them. I've seen that work like poison in people's lives for years. I've seen anger and resentment destroy people. You don't want that. But like I said, leave the door open. As a minister, I have seen...

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. That's Romans 12:18. It sounds like you've done all you can. Be honest with them. Tell them you're not having any more to do with them until their behavior towards you improves, and tell them why. That way, you leave the door...

I did when we first acquired the car and were trying to find a decent shop for it. Their focus is on putting on their summer shows and their annual Christmas toy drive. Many of the people involved with that organization don't even own cars. They just volunteer their time and efforts for the...

Hey Gary, good to hear form you! About a year and half ago, I had to move the car to my garage at my house in Keller. We lost the use of the shop we were using in Grapevine. I've been able to make progress on the Demon, but it's been very slow. At one point I had four guys helping me. One...

$18.00 general admission.

Would Fort Worth be too far? Goodguys is coming up in March at Texas Motor Speedway. I'll buy your ticket. I'd do more if I could.

I spent my Saturday morning snaking a drain line in my bathroom. I will not be posting pictures of what was tangled up on the end of the cable when I pulled it out of the line.

Not a bad idea. There have been studies on this and it's been demonstrated that pets can help relieve stress and offset the symptoms of depression. (After they're housebroken of course!)

I couldn't have said it any better! OTR, Make sure you find time to communicate with God every day, and more than one time a day. And when I say communicate, I mean talk to God. Tell Him how you feel and tell Him you want to be healed. Ask for guidance and healing. Pray, and get into God's...

This is a good testimony to the power of prayer and how God takes care of His people. But always remember, we rely on Him, not ourselves. God uses the trials in our lives to teach us the need to rely on Him in times of trouble. None of this has happened at random. It's part of His plan, even...

What exactly is your specialty? My recommendation would be to hit up the staffing agencies in Raleigh. There are several there. I found a heavy equipment mechanic job through a staffer here in Fort Worth a few years ago when I was in need of a job. It actually paid decent. Most people dismiss...

How close are you to Raleigh? Or is that where you've been working out of? And what's the job market like there? I'm not up to speed on your situation. That's why I'm asking.

I agree. What we end up with are people who place no value on human life.

There's a 69 or 70 model right around the corner from my house. It's sitting under a carport. Guess the owner is "gonna restore her someday."

I had a 71 Challenger when I was 16. It wasn't an R/T, just a 318 with a three speed manual. (Those were the good old days when we bought those cars for next to nothing!). There was an older guy who lived by me who did have an R/T Challenger with a 383 Magnum, same year model. We lived in a...
