SgtRick417 got a reaction from Tiramisu in Happy Holy Easter from Joe Biden
Hmmm??? For a long time ... Hundreds of years ... Maybe thousands of years the word DEGENERATE was appropriate usage. Hmmm ??? Just don't know. 🤔🤔

SgtRick417 got a reaction from Pappy in The US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Bought one couple years ago. Very glad I did.
Came back to edit my comment.
So glad to see something on this board other than the rants about the sky is falling.
That has become so "same old, same old". Boring Yawn.

SgtRick417 reacted to Polo in Pa. borough manager accused of shooting, killing neighbor’s dog with crossbow: reports
If he is a hunter, he should know the difference between a dog and coyote. I think there may be more to this story.

SgtRick417 reacted to Illiterate in A challenge
None of the questions are worth answering. Should anyone dare to answer with anything positive, you would consider them to be stupid.
I do feel a bit sad for you, but no doubt contributed highly to your situation. I feel sad for you that you think your life sucks and that you believe you don't count for anything. (Why else would you ask these questions?)
Is my my life perfect? Probably not, but it far from sucks. I have a great wife of about 40 years, 3 great, successful kids, and some grandkids running around. Not rich, but financially sound. I don't have everything I want, but have more than I need. In reasonable good health, barring a few aches and pains and the general wear and tear of getting older. Have a modest number of (nearly) life-long friends with whom I can share a drink, meal, and a laugh or two.
I may not matter much in the the grand scheme of things. Nothing I have done altered the history of mankind. Surely, within 50 years after my death I will be largely fogotten. However, at this time, I count for those people I call friends and family. And they count for me.
No doubt you will call me delusional or some other attempt at a derogatory term. It matters not. You can wander off into your pit of gloom, doom, and woe.

SgtRick417 got a reaction from Tiramisu in Missing Dog Help please
To all of you kind DuBoisians. Rusty has been found!! At dusk last night I returned to the location where I last saw him. I encountered a gentleman walking by the road and told him my predicament. He said, “There is a lady at the top of the hill with what looks like an orange & white Cocker Spaniel”. I hot footed it to the top of the hill and there was Rusty in the back of her SUV playing with her children. WOW! Rusty is now in his home and none the worse. Again, thank you all for your kind expressions and advice. You are the best!!

SgtRick417 got a reaction from Pappy in DuBois VFW closed
The current VFW's and AM Legion, perhaps even the AmVets is discouraging. When I was a boy, my uncle - a pilot in WWII - would take me along with him to the Am Leg and the VFW. I would get an orange pop and wander around the club. My memory is that there was more to those clubs than a bar with less expensive booze. There were locations set aside where members and guests could sit in comfortable chairs and read the news papers, or just sit quietly. It was a place JUST FOR VETERANS. In my adult life these clubs have permitted so-called "social members" to crowd in for the bar. No more exclusiveness for veterans who earned the right to have their own club. It has been years since I was in any of them. By the way, I am retired military. Marines in the early 60's with a year at Danang, later 3 years as a weapons instructor for a Navy Seabee Bn, some years in various Nat'l Guard units, I retired when I came home from Desert Storm/

SgtRick417 reacted to Pompeii in Deadly mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school...
Just think, if we took a little a little off of the 120 Billion that was sent to Ukraine. We would be able to hire thousands and thousands more security guards for our schools. We need to protect ALL of our children!!
This is simple to fix. All you need is common sense with LAW & ORDER!
We can not TRUST any part of the Biden Administration and 90% of our politicians. They don't care about WE the PEOPLE, all they care about is MONEY in their pocket!!
