    Wat do you mean "always"??
    The historical record says other thing, and its not even close.
    And one more thing, when the US plays in Mexico, they lose all the time.

    how about that?

    What's the deal with corn nuts. I mean is it a corn or a nut?

    A timely thread. To Mr. Brightside, I believe cornuts are just crunchy corn, but I'm not sure - just a guess.

    I'm searching for the name of an actress who was in some movies in the 1980s. She was white, had pale skin, and jet black hair. Her first name is Madeline and she has a strange last name something like Ameglidtch or something like that. I'm completely butchering the last night and I was hoping somebody out there could help me find the actress I'm looking for. Do you know who she is?

    She's in those infomercials for EyeQ... were you really asking? Also, I keep her as a mistress but the location can never be known.

    I didn't see this at home. I will try to answer nicely: Perhaps you're only watching the games where the US plays Mexico in the United States, or Korea ( :mad: ), or Uruguay [Paysandu]. You haven't seen the rest of the games. Never has the United States won against them in Mexico, but Mexico has beaten the United States in the United States (last time in 1999 in San Diego). :cool: ALWAYS could be removed and is an over generalization, and "IN THE U.S." could be added to that sentence.

    You can write request for proposals or grants for the government to give you money, if you can then find philanthropist companies who can donate the money. The guy with the questions on his suit in the infomercials might help. :)

    The term "runs" comes from the dripping action that the watery discharge does on your nostrils. Just like water runs, so does the stuff you secrete. On the other hand, feet smell because there isn't enough air to dry the sweat, and the dirt trapped in the socks and shoes create a nasty smell.

    FAIL.

    Here's my only question, but first some background before I ask:
    [rquoter]I put up a fence in 2002 at home after I asked the neighbor behind me to share the expense. He didn't, and I ended up paying for everything; the fence was on my side. He didn't even come over to say "Hey, you put up the fence, here's some money" or anything like that, so I just said FORGET IT.

    Cut to this year, and the fence got weak. The neighbor's dog pushed pickets I had to fix. Throughout this year, the fence had been falling and finally, the dog got through and broke a piece, and it fell. I asked the neighbor to fix it, and he did, incompletely. Now, with yesterday's storm, the fence fell, and he's nowhere to be found. To make it worse, the house is for sale, and I called the realty company and left a message saying I need info on the house.[/rquoter]What can I do to get him or the realty to fix the fence so I don't end up paying for it again?

    Why is it so hard to manufacture a reliable .45 ACP semi in short barrel for concealment?

    Perhaps it is covered under your homeowner's policy. If it is, get a quote and ask your neighbor to pay the deductible and you will take care of everything else.

    You asked the wrong question. There are several reliable .45 ACP semis with short barrels for concealment.

    One of my friends carries a Kimber Ultra Carry II and loves it:

    I've also heard good things about a Colt New Agent:

    I'll have to check out the Kimber, I shot the new Colt Defenders, and wasn't impressed. I recently purchased a Kahr P45, and it's very nice, but it's still not as smooth as I'd like.

    I believe you can use "fat chance" when you're speaking sarcastically or skeptically, and "slim chance" when it's more approximate. Examples: "There's a slim chance I won't use smilies in a post soon." "Will Royals Ego get lucky sometime soon? Oh, yeah, fat chance." :D

    Thank you, bobrek, I will speak to my agent, and will propose something to the ReMax Realty company. I was hoping my neighbor would come through and pay for the whole thing, but I see that as a slim chance. :eek:

    This is so Judge Judy.

    Look up who owns the house on hcad. Contact them about the problamo and if they don't pay up, take them to small claims court (if you have proof) OR make it easy on yourself and get it fixed by some mexicans at Home Depot.

    You would think that the Realty company would not want a broken fence when they are showing the house.

    coma,

    One more: Have you looked at the Para Ordnance Carry?

    [​IMG]

    It's a unique gun: Double Action Only, based on a 1911 frame, and it's also available in .45 GAP with a smaller grip.

    I have a Para Ordnance SSP (not a good carry weapon), and I love it.

    I know who owns it. I also know who sells it. They said they would help, but they never gave anything. More than likely, they won't be paying for ANYTHING in the house, since they're leaving soon. To top it off, they're selling it for way more than it's worth. Making it easy on myself by hiring anyone to do this is walking AWAY from the problem instead of fixing it.

    I see that you're saying black or white folks are lazy and wouldn't do a fence. That's racist. :p

    bobrek, that is exactly my approach. I am about to talk to the lady now.
