    I'm Free

    Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,

    I'm following the path God laid for me.

    I took his hand when I heard him call,

    I turned my back and left it all.

    I could not stay another day

    To laugh, to love, to work or play.

    Tasks left undone will stay that way,

    I found that peace at close of day.

    If my parting has left a void

    Then fill it with remembered joy

    A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss,

    Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss.

    But not burdened with times of sorrow,

    I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

    My life has been full, I've savoured much.

    Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

    Perhaps my time seemed all to brief

    Don't lengthen it now with undue grief,

    Lift up you hearts and share with me,

    God wanted me now,

    He set me free.

  2. I'm happy with these. I can zip off the leg panels for air in the summer. I was way overheated on the dream ride with these over blue jeans. I should have taken out the quilted liner. They have a wind liner that the quilted liner zips into. I like 'em. I got them from the Iron Pony store.

  3. Where I work, you will drown in your own puddle of blood before you are attended to, so I made up my own kit. Good or bad, right or wrong, this is what I can remember putting into it. Maybe something on this list can be added to your list. I've used some of these items for myself and others. So far, it seems to have more than what I've needed.

    Adhesive bandages of varies sizes plus ones for knuckles and fingertips

    Triple antibiotic ointment

    Band-Aid Hurt Free Antiseptic Wash

    Sterile Latex-Free gauze pad 3 in x 3 in

    Gauze roll - sterile 4 x 131"

    3M Coban Self Adherent Bandage Wrap

    Paper surgical tape

    Adhesive wound closure strips

    New-skin liquid bandage

    Burn relief gel with lidocaine

    Instant ice pack

    Bausch & Lomb Eye Wash

    Tylenol (acetaminophen)

    Advil Cold & Sinus Caplets

    Nitrile gloves

    scissors

    fingernail clippers

    sharp tweezers

    magnifying glass to find small metal splinters

    flashlight with extra batteries

    I've broken down amounts of items into smaller quantites so that everything fits into a 3" x 8" x 12" box, except for the flashlight. A roll of paper towels makes a clean work surface.

  4. Yep, missed that - thanks.

    Concentrating on suicide for a moment. If a suicidal person did now have a gun available to them, what do we all think would happen? Would that person kill themselves using some different means, or would that person not kill themselves?

    I'm guessing that if they were in a tall building, they may jump out the window. People have jumped off of bridges.

    Sleeping pills and alcohol? Painless. Self hanging?

    What if they had no bullets? They would have time to change their mind or they may find another way to end it. If a person is going to do it, they will find a way even if they have to jump in front of your car on the freeway.

  5. Quote from that article:

    [ You know that line, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people?” It’s true, so far as it goes. But in the United States, when people decide to kill people, or kill themselves, they typically reach for a gun. ]

    It doesn't matter. Take away guns and you can make the same statement using the word knife, or sticks, or stones, or being tossed off a building. Until we get some morality back into society it's only going to get worse. Until human life is respected, there will continue to be killings by anything that can be used as a weapon.

  6. Char-Broil vertical smoker.

    Cliff's notes for seasoning it? (Save me the time looking it up! :lol:)

    If it's a Char-Broil H2O Water Smoker, I've used mine for 20 years and never seasoned it once. It's self seasoning, it seems to me.

    One word of advice, if it's a charcoal smoker, make sure the flame has burned out before you place the body on the fire pan or you will burn the paint off of it. Don't ask.

  7. So i decided to kill them with kindness and get them beads for their pandora bracelets. found out that macy's had donatella beads which fit the pandora and donatella is going out of business so all of their beads are $10 each and I had a macy's coupon thing so I only paid $10 for both. and since they dont say donatella on the beads, I'm taking some of my mom's pandora boxes to wrap them in. So they think I spent money on them when I really didnt. :D

    I can't believe the effort you girls go to, to appear as though you care when you don't. I prefer to do nothing and make it obvious that I don't care.

    Any money spent for them is like flushing it down the toilet. You can save 50% of what you spend on them by sending it to me and putting the other half back in your pocket. Just trying to help with your holiday expenses. :D

  8. i find your avatar offensive... that is all.

    I find the upside down flag quite appropriate for our times. Here's a bit I copied from the web that reflects my feelings. I think we should all fly our flags upside down, at least until the White House is vacated by the current inhabitants.

    The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress:

    THE FLAG CODE

    Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10

    As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress

    Approved July 7, 1976

    § 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
    (a)
    The flag should never be displayed with the union down,
    except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

    Most individuals who have served in the military service of our nation will (or should) recognize this signal. As a result of the many traitors and enemies we as a free people have, both foreign and domestic, as a result of the many unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed against US citizens and their life, liberty and property, and as a result of policies that have allowed (and continue to allow) enemies of this nation to enter in large numbers through a porous border policy, I believe the life, liberty and property of US Citizens are in dire danger and distress.

    ...that is all.

  9. ...usually for me, I'm all stay the fuck away from me...for that week, a bottle of wine, popcorn and some chocolate while watching a chick flick usually works...giving her a rose every day during that week or something just to make her to feel special...be a little extra sweet, and always ask her how her day is going and if she needs anything...even rub her feet. It'll make that week easier on you.

    >> It'll make that week easier on you. ???

    It's sounding like I'm being punished for something I have no part of, and my only option is to attempt to make the punishment less.

    How about she stay at her place and the times when she is "well" we can spend together. I don't have to bend over backwards or keep silent to keep the peace and she can heal. I'll visit and then go back home where it's safe.

  10. Hello, this thread is from 2008 guys. JackFlash, the guy you quoted doesn't even live in Ohio anymore and is never on here. There are a few that participated in this thread that haven't logged on in years actually. It's a waste to even quote people honestly now that it is 2012. ;)

    Doesn't matter. Might still apply to someone giving thought to a get-a-way.
