How to deal with no Christmas again this year?
My kids would be having a ok Christmas minus the fact that awhile back they got into a physical fight and I called the police on them as a scare tactic. I had no idea that nowadays they have to get separate attorneys with fees and even court costs. Costs me $301.00. Then the fact that we have to go to court at least 2 times and the kids have to stay away from each other without an adult around. My daughter had to literally leave the house that night and it was late so I had to call a friend to drive out and get her. More headache. We have dealt with this almost a year now and we even have DCS in the home. Nothing you do ever seems right with these people. Then you find out that they really don’t have time to actually pursue your case so they do these popup visits to schools and home. Which is fine as long as we are available and not out doing things. So then me and my ex husband put my kids in this Project Turnaround/Operation Turnaround which is good for them both but killing me on gas and vehicle maintaintence. And all this on a limited/fixed income. I am a single mom but dating again, disabled, and a stay-at-home mom of 3. My 2 oldest kids dad is a weekend father/whenever. And my youngest childs father is MIA, we were going to get married once the divorce went thru. But he too, ditched us after almost ripping my family apart. The oldest childrens father is dating too and recently had a baby with his fiance. Still my divorce isn’t finalized and my ex has no lawyer and I could never afford one even probono or with Legal Aid. Basically I have to handle my own court problems alone, although its cheaper. But since we are married, they consider my youngest child his and are pursuing my ex-husband for child support and we need either a divorce/dna test. Which totals $1000 plus. Which neither of us have. I have told the 2 oldest that this year since I have to pay these court costs and lawyers fees that I can’t afford Christmas. I am making a big dinner just like Thanksgiving though. And we will celebrate the old fashioned way by watching movies together, talking, and reconnecting. I know the last time this happened it was depressing for them but I have never lied to them on anything important. They always knew there was no Santa since kids at elementary school blabbed. They know money is tight and they know about bills and they get it but what can I do even homemade that could help the situation a little and lighten it up. They both need clothes again this year and its winter and I can’t afford that either. Angel Tree doesn’t do kids over 12. And at least that would’ve helped with clothing. I am feeling the worry on the clothing issue. Their dad rarely pays child support and we get food stamps and afdc but that only covers bills with a little remaining not counting unexpected repairs and such. And I could’ve had a little Christmas if I didn’t have an electric bill of $300. So basically we have nothing to work with. Its depressing but I feel like at least they are doing food baskets with the Project/Operation Turnaround and maybe learning that mistakes can cost alot!!! We have alot to be grateful for but that still doesn’t help the fact that they see and hear about what everyone else around them is getting/doing. Kinda kills my Christmas spirit. And it seems like basically every Christmas has been this way because something always happens.

Go to your local Public Assistance place and ask to apply to be on the ‘adopt a family’ list. My company adopts families in need and gives them clothing, and sometimes games for the older ‘kids’ and stuff off of their wish list. Its all done through the county. If you dont have something like this available, then my advice to you is this: I am 24, my brother is 22, and my mom and dad are married. My father lost his buisness 2 winters ago. And they did EVERYTHING they could to save the house my father built, and everything in it. They cut out cell phones, internet, cable, anything and everything they could live with out…….that even means cutting out Christmas, which by the way, is not about presents. Not in any way, shape or form. On Christmas Eve last year, after all the aunts and uncles left, my brother and I decided to spend the night at our parents, and wake up Christmas Morning at home, like the past. We filled our night with home videos, pop corn, games, and actual family interaction. We talked about what we were thankful for, that NONE of us has cancer, or any other disease. That we were all together, and that NOTHING could separate us. This was the first Christmas where none of us bought Christmas presents for eachother. And it was phenomenal! We didnt worry about how much money it would cost us, the money we didnt have, and it actually SAVED our family, because we were falling apart due to the stress of money. and not having any. needless to say, this year will be different, in the fact that my dad has a job again, but that will not change the fact that we will not be doing presents this year. Last year taught us what true meaning of Christmas was. And were going to keep it that way. Good luck to you. And if your kids are old enough, maybe you all should go to the local soup kitchen and help the homeless? It would be an eye opener, and would teach your children, and you alot, about not sweating the small stuff.

hey guys, i would really appreciate if anybody could help or give me some advices. Im planning on going to the Grand Canyon (south rim) this coming december and after that maybe stop for a couple of days in Vegas. I wanted to ask if anybody knows how long is the drive to the West rim, because the SkyWalk seems pretty interesting and maybe I wanted to make a quick stop there on the way to Vegas. What are your opinions ? is it worthed? Fees, etc…
Thanks

---

Bad idea >The place is simply not worth the time or effort required there nor is it at the real Grand Canyon
Here’s their website<note the price and the no camera rule
http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com/
If you want a really great alternate routing to Las Vegas than route it over the N.Rim and thru Zion NP
Directions
Exit GCNP via the Desert View entrance
Downhill to the jct of US 89@ Cameron AZ-get gas in Cameron-
North on US 89 to the jct of US 89 A at Bitter Springs AZ -about 60 miles
Left onto 89A Crossing the Rio on the New Navajo Bridge
Stop into the rest area and walk to the middle of the Old Navajo Bridge and look 467′ straight down to the Rio
http://www.nps.gov/glca/historyculture/n avajobridge.htm
Stay with 89A up and over the N.Rim until it meets up again with US 89 at Kanab UT
Continue north until you get to the jct of SR 9 at Mount Carmel Junction UT
Make a left on SR9 and take that downhill thru Zion NP
SR 9 takes you to I-15 S which takes you to Las Vegas Get gas in either Hurricane or St George UT
Just so you know if you hit heavy snow on that route it will be between House Rock Valley and Fredonia AZ on US 89A >ADOT will occasionally post " chains required for that stretch" if they then still visit the Old Navajo Bridge -Lees Ferry area and then head back to US 89 and continue north thru Page AZ and into Kanab
Safe trip

I love to bike race. And i mean real racing, with a whole organization. I like in Florida and i used to go to the bike traning in Lake Mary. but now they aren’t so great for training, and by training you are in their races… (I’m 13) Where can I find some good races to compete in around central Florida? I’m willing to do todowntownd orlando, orlando, windermere, tampa, st. petersburg, melbourne, and the keys… and daytona… I’ll go anywhere accept northern FL… but maybe atlanta if it’s good. I’m 13 and im a female… Where can i find good trainers and bike races???

Go to Active.com once there you can make it specific for where you are geographically.

B S | Jan 30, 2008

I would visit the bike shops. If you are riding as much as you indicate, you probably stop in the shops a lot anyway.

Ask your shop about racing, and clubs in your area. Look around in the shop, most have publications and or hand bills from local clubs, including racers.

Fantastic that you are so enthusiastic at 13 — Ride Hard!
McG | Jan 30, 2008

McG is dead on. My LBS in Michigan hosts clubs for cyclocross, MTB, and road riding. They do group rides all the time. Each group has a team for local, regional, and even national competitions.

While I don’t race, I would be welcomed into any of their local competitions and welcomed to train with the groups when the do group rides. They even do indoor spin training in the winter that is open for participation from any enthusiast. You can even borrow one of their cycle-ops trainers and just bring your own bike if you don’t have your own trainer.

I am sure if you are near Orlando, Tampa, or some other decent sized town you can find the same.

Converting a black powder revolver to use modern brass cartridges?
I was wanting to convert a LeMat revolver from black powder to brass cartridge mainly because of it’s design. If you are unfamiliar with it, it was a 9 shot revolver, with a secondary lower barrel that fired a buckshot round. Very cool.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en /b/b0/Lemat.jpg

That being said, I have seen conversion kits for old Navy revolvers and a couple colts, and I have heard the "Don’t’s" of converting from black powder.
‘Don’t shoot full power smokeless cartridges from black powder revolvers’
‘Don’t convert brass bodied revolvers to fire brass cartridges’

But if you were to lessen the caliber of the converted round down, would it still be a problem using the modern day brass cartridges? What about the buckshot round in the center? Could I just swap the .20Cal down to something smaller?

Basically, if I wanted to do this, what all would have to be done to make it work? Parts that need to be swapped, changed, etc.

Thank you if you reply
Sorry, the shotgun barrel is 16 gauge, not .20Cal.

Just ask Santa for a pound of C4 and get it over and done with in an expeditious manner. Who wants to linger for weeks?
ChrisySue | Nov 20, 2009

---

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, No.

Much better to just purchase a modern revolver that shoots modern brass.

If you do try it, as I’ve said before, have surviving relatives/friends post the video on Youtube.
The Deadliest Mushroom | Nov 20, 2009

i believe it would be illegal also the center barrel is smooth bore the only reason its legal as is is its a muzzle loader if it fired modern shells it would be the same as a sawed off shotgun. Im not shure of this so don’t beat me up guys (just a thought)
bill | Nov 21, 2009

---

There is no way to convert the lower shotgun barrel to take modern shells. If you did, you’d need to do all the necessary steps required to have a ’sawn off shotgun’ aka SBS, which means a $200 tax stamp, a bunch of paperwork for the ATF and your local chief of police, and possibly a ton of other requirments due to state laws, and in some places even with appropriate tax stamp and everything else, they are blanket illegal.

Right now the short 16 gauge shotgun barrel on the LeMat is legal because it is an antique blackpowder (or reproduction of an antique) hence not a firearm in the eyes of the Feds. Also, because there were never any conteporary conversions of the shotgun barrel, the result would not be a reproduciton of an antique.

While there were never any contemporary conversions of the LeMat’s cylinder like there was of many other cap-and-ball revolvers, the same technology could be applied. Of course, it would have to be hand-made which means it would cost roughly 3 times as much to convert the LeMat as it would a gun where you could order a conversion kit from some guy who has machines set up to create the parts.

Lessening the caliber of the converted round would change nothing. All modern cartridges regardless of caliber operate at higher standard pressures than blackpowder. So even if you had a 41 caliber LeMat and sleeved the barrel to .355, the 38 special modern loads would be of modern high pressures, and cause problems.

Modern reproductions are in 44 or 36 (real ones were in 41 or 36)caliber, IF you successfully converted it to 44 special or 38 special, you’d simply have to buy ‘cowboy loads’ to be safe.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?pr oductnumber=935463

Finally, cap and ball revolvers are covered as antiques or reproductions of antiques, so they get special treatment in law. A cap and ball revolver reproduction fitted with a catridge conversion, IF that conversion is also a reproduction of a historic conversion, gets those same protections (or at least that is how the BATF is choosing to treat it now…it is a grey area of the law)

However, converting something that was never converted looses that protection
akluis | Nov 21, 2009

---

IM not an expert at reloading, but I can tell you that all modern powders burn hotter, faster and with much more pressure than black powder. The pressure is where the main issue arrives. Black powder guns are not designed to operate at these much higher levels of pressure. Even if it works a few times, eventually its going to be a grenade, not a gun.

Also, such a gun is likely not legal under BATF rules. A gun like the judge or bond arms derringer shoots a .410 shotgun shell, yes. However, this is by chance coincidence, since the caliber size is equvelant to a .45 Colt cartridge, you’ll notice that they are .45/410. Also, as your gun is now, its a black powder gun, which has much less stringent regulation by BATF. (actually, almost none at all)

Bottom line, cool idea that you dont want to do.
Tahoeguy | Nov 21, 2009

If you have enough money to throw at the project, it can be done, but it won’t be cheap.

IIRC, the LeMat reproductions have .44 caliber barrels and cylinders. If you intend to reduce the caliber, you will have to have a new barrel made and mated to the frame. With all the machining that is going to be mighty pricey.

Then you will have to have a new cylinder made. The geometry for a 9-shot, or more cylinder is very different from the five and six shot cylinders gunsmiths are accustomed to working with, so that is also going to be damned expensive.

With the open-topped design, you can’t go with a cartridge as powerful as a .45 Long Colt and for damned certain none of the magnum cartridges. You might be able to live with a .44 S&W Special but I’d not bet on anything bigger than a .38 S&W Special or maybe even just a .38 S&W.

Don’t even think about converting the grapeshot barrel! It ain’t worth the Federal paperwork and taxes.

All told, I figure you can get the job done for no more than $5,000.00 to $7,500.00, if you can find a good gunsmith willing to take on the job. And since most good gunsmiths are up to their ears in work, you can expect a project like this to be low priority, unless you are waving large handfuls of greenbacks at him, so it will probably take from one to three years for you to get your centerfire LeMat back from the gunsmith.

i have 2 questions

question 1 what do girls want?

question 2 i can’t seem to get a girl why do you think that is?

I am someone who is friendly,warm and kind to strangers and people from all walks of life. I believes that jesus christ is the son of god and that he died for EVERYBODY’S sins. I realizes that I am not perfect but trie to be more like jesus. I wouldn’t try to force my beliefs on others, so whoever thinks that obviously hasn’t met a true christian. also, don’t think that all christians are like george bush, cause i’m a christian and i’m not exactly a big fan of his….to say the least. I believe in Small Government, Less Tax, and a Strong Military! My Social stances include, Pro-life, Pro-Israel, Pro-marriage, and Pro-gun! Among my hobbies are Paintball, chess, checkers, and weapons. Subject-wise has hovered around History because much of my political beliefs has been shaped by what I learned in the past. History plays a key role in shaping our future so we can learn from it or repeat our mistakes. Last but not least: the Bible! I am One who listens to classic rock, even with all the fads of new rock. I appreciate good bands and lyrics that are just amazing. I agree there is a reason that the bands are still popular 40+ years later. i listen to musich as Ben Harper, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Chris Isaak, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Dave Matthews, Pete Yorn, Norah Jones, David Gray, Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, KT Tunstall, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol, Cold Play, Audioslave, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nickelback, John Butler Trio, Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, Train, Natalie Merchant, Gin Blossoms, Maia Sharp, John Mayer, Carbon Leaf, Green Day, Lenny Kravitz, Saucy Monky, Jason Mraz, Elvis Costello, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, The Pretenders, The Police, Van Morrison, The Who, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Peter Gabriel, John Haitt, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett, Steve Winwood, Elton John, Annie Lennox, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, U2, Sting, Doobie Brothers, Koko Taylor, B.B.

It depends on what type of girl your looking for and you should ask her what she wants=).MAYBE no disrespect at all, you can’t get a girl because of your looks BUT to me the inside is worth way more than the outside!

To eat it, or not to eat it, that is the question!

My roommate bought a 12lb frozen turkey and has it in an ice chest with a bag of ice since Monday outside on the back porch. There was no room in the fridge. He injected it last evening and it was still mostly frozen, except around the very surface of the turkey. It’s still in it’s bag.
There was no cold water put in the ice chest as I’ve seen people suggest. The outside temperatures have been ranging in the 50-60’s.

He is a very good cook, but over time we’ve discovered we have a very different idea of what is safe to eat and what is not, also how to clean up after preparing meats, etc. He eats food that has been in the fridge for…eons, and doesn’t get sick. I have had food poisoning twice in my life, and am very careful about guidelines.

I don’t want to hurt his feelings and not eat his prepared food, or have a big discussion about it, and when it’s fried I might be sooooo tempted to eat it! I really would love to indulge in some fried turkey. My son will be coming as well, so not sure if I should ‘warn’ him or not.

Any idea of what the temp in the ice chest would fluctuate to and from? Last night the bag of ice was still about half full of ice.

Thanks for any input. I am thankful to have people to ask!
