  1. The video really didn't discuss the helmet until the last 30 seconds or so. Pretty cool though. http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/11/10/two-swedes-develop-invisible-bike-helmet/
  2. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just telling you what's been my experience. Take it or leave it, makes no difference to me. I guess I'm just not that selfish anymore.
  3. I Admitted it shouldn't make sense but that's how it's happened for us. I make less money now but actually am doing better. What we spend money on hasn't changed.
  4. No one says he does. That's what i used to think. It's learning that what you have isn't yours, it's his. And if you were managing money for someone else, you would typically care for it better than if it was yours.
  5. I mean we didn't typically tithe when we both worked. Now she doesn't and we tithe every week. Our bills are the same and we really haven't changed how we spend money. But we are able to take care of what we need. Heck, we've been getting refunds from medical bills and such my wife paid 6 years ago, stuff unexpected and out of the blue. We tithe because it's not our money, it's his. We give 10% to him, it's not really giving, it's already his. I don't understand how it is possible other than its out of my control.
  6. I'll add my thoughts, take them however you want. I grew up Catholic. Went to a Catholic school 1-8th grade. Church every week.My dad was agnostic and I often followed his lead for the simple fact he was my dad although I believed slightly more than he did. Then I went to public high school. I maintained a slight belief in God but didn't go to church it speak of it. Then I went in the army. I believed a little more because I wanted and needed support. Then I went to Iraq. I saw my brothers die. I saw body parts laying on the ground from VBIEDs/IED's. I saw grown men cry their eyes out because another trooper died, or they missed their child being born, or they weren't their to say goodbye when their loved one died back home. I've seen children starving abd eating scraps. I've seen 8 year olds with AK-47S. What a hell hole. I knew a girl over there, and I've only told my parents and wife this story and it often chokes me up when I do. She was with 10th Mtn Division. SPC Bobbi Gonzalez, from Christine, TX. She was a light wheeled mechanic working as the armorer. We were working PX guard and 10th Mtn was our relief to take over guard duty. She was pretty and fun to talk to. After they took over for us, I'd go back just to see and talk to her. After a while I stopped seeing her. Figured she got pulled off guard duty or something. One day while reading The Stars and Stripes, I came across an obituary. It was hers and what I said about about her was right there in it. Along with a line that She was home on leave when she died trying to save her brother from drowning. They both died. I cried. I hated a god that would allow one of his children to survive Iraq just to die at home with her brother. I was pissed and I never prayed or went to church again. Then I got out and came home. Ended up getting talked into going to a non denominational church next to where I used to work. The pastor wasn't always a believer and until he was saved at 26, his life was pretty rough. I could relate to him and he spoke to me as an equal, not as he was better than me. I semi believed. I had been married for 6 years with a 5 year old daughter. I was young and dumb abd it was a crummy marriage at that. I became a police officer and ended up working with a girl I went to high school with. She and I became good friends and she made me see it wasn't my fault I was cheated on. I divorced my wife and she and I became best friends. I've been married to her about a year and a half. She adopted my daughter and is a wonderful mother. She helped me find God in a terrible spot in my life and after i did, my life turned around. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders. She's been off work for a year due to injury. I work full time for not great pay and go to school full time. We are getting by pretty good and I truly believe that's because we tithe. We give 10% of our income to our church. When we didn't, we struggled. When we started to tithe, we had more money. Our income didn't change, actually it went down but when we started to tithe, we had more. I went to the other side of the world. I made it out alive, came home, had a beautiful daughter and ended up finding my soulmate that never left the area. We should have missed one another but somehow we didn't. I thank God everyday for what I have. Life on earth isn't easy, it's not fair. He never said it would be. I don't have all the answers and I'm ok with that. He does. What I do know is what I've been through and how different life has been for me with and without God. Take whatever you'd like from this story.
  7. dude, not cool. Unless you ride a Harley. Wait, Harley guys don't wear helmets, nevermind.
  8. Maxpower, just got the email confirming my lifetime warranty on everything, drill, impact, charger and batteries. I'm a happy camper.
  9. Had a problem with my tailgate freezing to my tonneau cover last year. Would prevent the tailgate from being opened. With the weather changing, I'd like to get a jump on preventing it. Quick Google search came up with a light coat of Vaseline being the most reliable option. You guys have any ideas or run into this?
  10. Sorry to hear bud, I know the pain.
  11. http://www.tpnn.com/2014/09/29/controversial-owner-declares-her-store-a-muslim-free-zone-find-out-her-reasoning/
  12. Sorry, forgot that. They are asking $900. Edited original post.
  13. Posting for my ex-mother in law, yeah she and I are actually closer than she is with her daughter. Anyways, she needs to sell ASAP due to medical expenses. Here's what I know: Located in Altoon, PA. 2008 150cc, not sure what manufacturer, something Japanese I think. Minor damage from falling over including scrape on right side and right tail light lens missing. Oh, and the speedo is in KM not MPH with 585 KM (363 miles) on the clock. Asking $900. If interested, I can give you contact info. Thanks.
  14. Tvlinks.com changed so now its http://www.tvmuse.com/ and the other is http://www.cokeandpopcorn.ch/. You might get dead links or ones that don't stream but hey it's free. You'll also learn which sites to watch which shows and what good links are and what typically don't work. We watch pretty much all our tv shows here. Nice thing is being able to go through a series in order and you can watch it whenever, wherever you want.
  15. I don't have tv buy have internet. I go to two websites for tv shows, tvlinks.com (i think that's it) and cokeandpopcirn.com. current shows are posted within like 15 minutes of airing on tv, walking dead, big bang, top shot...
  16. I agree. The ONLY, and I mean this just barely, the only reason I could see is for those with disabilities. But even then I'm sure there's a way for anyone to go inside to the viewing. I think this just perpetuates the "I'm too busy for anything other than myself" mentality. Burger King "i want it my way"
  17. Thoughts? http://www.wbtv.com/story/26534089/funeral-home-offers-drive-thru-visitation?clienttype=generic&mobilecgbypass
  18. I already did the online part, I'll send in the receipt tomorrow. My paperwork ays i 90 days to register. Had no problem registering my Ridgid generator, maybe they don't like you? Lol
  19. The reviews I've read all seem really good. They'll take a beating and keep on going is the general consensus.
