The Right to Bear Arms~

http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story/TNs-New-Guns-in-Bars-Law-Takes-Effect/yDjhH7OopUa9zi5tg0-nGg.cspx?rss=59 MEMPHIS, TN - If you have a handgun carry permit, it is now legal in Tennessee to take a gun into a bar or restaurant where alcohol is served. The "Guns in Bars law" took effect Tuesday, July 14, 2009. A judge ruled Monday against blocking the law, citing restaurants and bars do have the right under the law to prohibit firearms. Jake Schorr, owner of Westy’s in Downtown Memphis, says he has no problem with licensed gun owners bringing their firearms into his bar. “What's good about the law is that permitted gun holders can't drink so if we see someone with a gun, we're not going to serve them,” said Schorr. Guns will not be allowed anywhere on Beale Street. Starting Friday, July 17, 2009, security officers will use hand wands to check patrons to ensure the entertainment district remains a gun-free zone. “Mixing alcohol, stepping on somebody's toe and then getting mad and they (people with guns) want to shoot somebody. No guns should not be allowed on Beale Street unless you're an officer,” said Michael Haro, Security Manager at Superior Restaurant on Beale. Authorities say handgun permit holders caught carrying a weapon into an establishment that has a "no guns allowed" sign posted will be given a misdemeanor citation. The Memphis Restaurant Association is having "no guns" decals made for members who have chosen to ban guns from their business. Until those decals arrive, the Association is offering members a temporary sign which they can print and post. I can see where there are going to be people who are served alcohol when they are carrying a concealed weapon...because the bar tender will not know... I can see a vision of the airport type security at the door of everywhere...<<<sarcastic statement, or maybe not as sarcastic as I think... The funny thing is that as fast as this law has gone into effect, bar owners are prohibiting guns in their establishments. Folks have been carrying guns in a lot of the Beale Street bars for ages, even though it's against the law. Just about the time it became legal to do so, the bar owners got fed up with the shootings going on in and just outside their places of business and said no more guns. |

Yes, I had to get out of the house, meet people, go places....open your curtains and let the sun shine in 
That sounds so simple and yet it's such good advice. People who are prone to depression tend to be "solar powered." |

I notice that on your profile you say that you drink often. Drinking and depression are a vicious circle. Try to cut the drinking back to no more than socially and replace it with activities that require you to get out of the house. I bet you'll start to have a better outlook before you know it. Won't make everything perfect....but it's a start.

A lot of communities are now providing land for gardens, with other companies donating starter plants, etc. There are also groups holding "how to" seminars on planting veggies, etc.
Folks can google their local city/town/county website to find info, or call the city office to find out if one exists. (I believe some schools and universities are doing this as well). |

If soldiers want to smoke, let them smoke. If you make it illegal, you will cut armed forces retention, and recuitment in half at the very least. Very terrible idea. Good thought, but BBBAAAAAAADDD idea. No doubt. And there's just something patently ridiculous about banning smoking for a soldier's "health and safety" while sending him/her into areas to be potentially shot or blown to bits. |

What is the OP? I hear it from thread to thread. OP refers to Opening Post, or Original Poster of the thread. ...or in some cases Orgasmic Proportions, which brings us back to "does size matter?" |

What does it take to make you shut up Dan? Can we use a pillow to make you shut up Dan? One more "old" joke, and I'm gonna hit you with my cane, so shut up Dan!!! You know you're one of my most favorite folks on the planet, but shut up Dan and don't let it go to your (already oversized) head. In short: Shut up Dan! |

When your bored? Read. Come online. Try to find something good to watch on tv (which quickly leads to trying something else). Give in and do laundry. Think of yet another project to get into. |

Are you a good parent
|

rant; Are you a good parent: Do you have kids under the age of 7? If so: Do you let your kids play unsupervised outside and don't know where they are most of the time? Do you scream at them and call them names? (like sh*thead or scumbag or ****ing baby!) Do you let them play in your parked car when you're inside? Do you let them climb on top of your car? Do you let them throw rocks at cars? (moving or parked) Do you let them ride their bikes without a helmet and down a steep hill on a blind corner with cars that speed around said corner? Do you listen to rap music with car stereo/subwoofer blasting when your youngest kid(age 2) sits up front with no carseat? Do you make noise all day long and into the night when your neighbor has to get up at 4 a.m. and you stay home 365 days a year since the taxpayers support you and your 4 kids and boyfriend? Are you overweight,but wear very revealing clothes that shows your inner tube falling over your waistline? (just so you can show off your tattoo) Do you park your car halfway in your neighbors yard just because you're too lazy to walk an extra 15 feet? (remember....you are tired from having 365 days off a year) p.s. One neighbor 'father' came driving past last night looking for his 6 year old girl. She IS missing for 3 hours. When asked, he said: "No...I haven't called the cops yet." welcome to MY reality. This thread really emphasizes the differences in when I was growing up and when my son was growing up. Some things have changed because of the general atmosphere of the world (safety-wise, paranoia-wise), and some things have changed because we are more aware. So.... I had a huge back lot to play in in the back. Our house faced the main street where, in those days, many people walked to town. My sister and I were able to sell anything from lemonade to fishing worms under the big oak tree out front. Mother could check on us through the big window in the living room. Of course, any stranger spotted in town was immediately reported through the "momma line," so it was hardly likely that someone could veer off the highway and get three feet and it not be noted. As to my son, nope, surely did not want him kidnapped. "Driving to New York" in your parked car was a typical game. And if perchance you managed to put the car in reverse and roll down into the street...well the cars along that street only went 20 miles an hour at best, and the cars were solid enough that even then it would only make a small ping. No, my son was not allowed to do this. We lived in Memphis. I didn't want him hijacked along with the car. Sure we could climb all over the cars, provided it wasn't August. No kid in their right minds is going to climb onto a car in Mississippi in August. As to my son, again, nope. The only time I was ever allowed to throw things at cars was one Halloween in Memphis when my Dad worked for Juvenile Court and the JC judge was running for mayor. We had a huge "Turner for Mayor" sign in the yard, which was getting a lot of egg action. Dad came out and told us that any eggs that didn't get splatted, we could toss back at the cars throwing them. When The Kid was a kid, we had to have parents with our kids trick-or-treating for safety's sake...especially after a woman was murdered in the main house in town one Halloween...the house that could be seen all along main street (this was the same neighorhood where in my childhood we could wander about safely). The "jiggiest" my parents got with music was Doris Day. Don't think "Que Sera Sera" on a turntable was ever heard past our living room windows. Of course we only had the church on one side and a deaf couple on the other. And by 7:00 p.m., the street on the front had been rolled up. My son DID grow up listening to rock, but not at high decibles. I rode my bike all over without a helmet. Of course, all I was liable to hit was grass or gravel. And the bike could only go as fast as my legs could pump the pedals. My cousin had to wear a helmet to ride his bike as he'd already had a head injury from a baseball incident. We felt so sorry for him (he had to wear a football helmet...no "bike" helmet available). My son griped when he had to wear his helmet...until the day he hit gravel on a wide sidewalk, flipped and hit a bench. Thanks to the helmet, he only has a scar on his nose. As for the revealing clothes, blah blah...I was raised to have self-esteem. I am now a grandmother, and while I don't dress like a grandmother, I dress in a way so that my son and grandchildren can be proud to be seen with me. I park in my spot and respect other people's boundries, and I raised my son to do the same. |

The only time I went through his stuff was when he was at college and had asked me to send him certain items. I came across his "Sex for Dummies" book. After determining that it was indeed for dummies, I did the sensible motherly thing: I shipped it to him....packed right beside his Bible, laughing all the way.
