Hello fellow gun owners. I am looking for a bit of help with a rifle. My mother has passed away and my father had some flintlock guns and a WWI rifle on the wall and I will get them in September. I do not know rifles at all (just being a revolver owner and shooter). I will need to transport it...

My mother just turned 95 on May 11th. She caught pneumonia early in the month and was very sick. She stopped eating and drinking so we had her get iv fluids, which brought on congestive heart failure. She is doing badly now. 2 doctors said she it at and if life, days to 2 weeks, depending on...

My mother is 94 and in a nursing home. She has dementia and COPD, but those are not going to go away. She seems to fall a lot and the home tries to keep her in a wheelchair and she hates this and will fight and try to get up and walk around. She will take a fall a few times a year because of...

I am trying to figure out how to do something with wood dowels that are 3/8" diameter and 18 inches long, but since I am not a wood worker I am struggling to figure out how to do what I want. I want to chamfer one end of the dowel and finally realized I can use a pencil sharpener to do this! Now...

I thought some of you might enjoy this video. I got it here: https://twitter.com/LiveAction and found out about it from the Patrick Madrid show this morning. Sadly, I think this satire is mostly true....

Apollo has not been acting normal in some time. We brought him to the vet yesterday. He is going blind and deaf and my have very early dementia (last not sure yet). This was his 2nd appointment since June and we have another in a month to monitor his progression. Honestly, after 3 losses in 6...

Yesterday was exactly 2 months since I had to let my cat ^Nova^ go. I found myself really tearing up, especially about 5:40pm when he left. Today is 2 months since I had to let my cat ^Andromeda^ go and I am really feeling sad today as well and will really feel it in about 4 hours when the times...

Taken about 6am. Smoke in the air makes for lovely sunrises.

I hope this is not a wrong place to post this. If so, please forgive me. I thought as I am Catholic and this area was for Catholics.... I spent most of my life running from God and religion. Though baptized and had a bit of Sunday school catechism as a child, I left the church around 8 years...

I bought a new digital camera last week and used it 4 times now. It has 67x optical zoom and a 1/1200 sec speed shutter. The first image shocked me, a helicopter (we have loads of army ones flying here) and the blade are frozen, not blurred! The second was a zoom to a bird on a wire. The next 2...

I stylized some photos of some of my past and current cats over the last several days and thought I would share them. This post has my cat ^Itchy^. He left me in 2004 from cancer and was only 7. He loved to lay under the Christmas tree and was my official Christmas cat. :)

I had an interesting morning and I am thankful for it. Funny, little things DO keep my attention away from moping over the death of 2 of my cats end of May and I am thankful for that. I thought the ranchers in the area had all moved their cow herds to the summer grazing areas, but I guess I was...

Yesterday I replied to a thread started by a member whose wife has Alzheimer's disease. My heart aches for his situation, Alzheimer's disease and dementia both seem to be in my family so I have watched it take family members one after another. My mother is currently in a nursing home with...

Sadly, here I go again. After losing ^Orion^ on December 15th, Nova is now very close to leaving as well. Nova in in full renal failure now and at the stage where it is very hard to get his interest in any foods. He has lost a lot of weight the last several months and is now about 7lbs (from 13...

I am just not ready to do this again. Losing ^Orion ^ exactly 1 month ago today was awful. Nova missed him and for 3 weeks yowled for ^Orion^ at night and has taken to sleeping in ^Orion^'s favorite night spot now. Nova is now in full renal failure and has not eaten in 4 days. He has lost a lot...

My mother is 93 (in less than a month) and is in a nursing home in New Jersey and the home is now being hit by the virus on all floors and wings. It is no longer well contained in her home. last week she began to get sick and developed a fever late in the week. They have tested her for COVID-19...

Last evening Orion fell off the couch. How does a cat manage that? He has arthritis and possible intestinal cancer and does not play or do much since he almost died last October (2018). He fell because he came out looking for food and decided to jump on the couch where Donna, Andromeda and I...

This is a hot topic, and I am not going to ask if you think abortion is murder or not or your views on abortion. My question is this: As abortion IS legal in most places, that means that LEGALLY the law currently does NOT view destroying a fetus or baby (or whatever you want to call it) in the...

ChristianForCats said something in another tread that gave me pause for thought and I did not feel it was right to post it in the original thread as it starts to go off topic of the original subject and post. So here is my spin off of it. I generally agree, but I am still trying to reconcile...
