We go at least every two weeks. He had left his guns, including a Colt M1911, with a son in Washington whose house was broken into. The guns were stolen along with all the other valuable stuff. He needs a gun. I'd been looking at some .45's with him in mind and have settled on the Ruger SR1911, which will run about $675. When I mentioned this to Alex, he immediately offered to help buy the gift, using the proceeds from his bet with Harry. Harry probably would have donated the money anyway...maybe...out of the goodness of his heart. Harry, thanks for coming through on your bet. Alex, thank you too! I've not ordered the gun yet. Waiting to see if the Trump election will cause prices to drop a bit. Lots of dealers really stocked up expecting Hillary to win." If that vet is in the direction straits you claim, I'd think a "gun" would be low on his list of priorities. How about suitable winter clothing, maybe some medical apparatus to make life easier etc. |

Medicare should take care of almost all his medical needs. He needs toys. Quality of life toys. |

I used to have respect for Harry's liberal views even though I didn't necessarily agree with many of them. I often enjoyed friendly debate but he's gone off the deep end it seems. He makes false claims about people that he doesn't really know, repeating them over and over until he is convinced in his obsessed mind that they are true. I can't deal with that kind of warped and dishonest mentality. It's straight out of the progressive liberal playbook. But it is perfectly ok when your buddy Justan makes "false claims about people he doesn't know," right? Of course, right, because as you have told me, you think those claims are "funny." Perhaps a bit of satire based mostly on truth. Don't like it? Don't read it. Prove me wrong on any of the truths I've told about you. Prove a moron like you wrong? What's the point? Then stop whining. You are such a baby. Your behavior doesn't bother me, **** for brains...it just gives me the opportunity to point out your buddy's hypocrisy. |

Or, are you simply, in your words, attempting to instigate? |
