[quote who="willistuder" reply="26" id="3278903"]Freeware Files is another excellent site. They test every file (and updates), and warn you if there are any toolbars, etc., in the file. Aside from freeware, many major companies like Microsoft and Norton submit files to the site. All files are free. http://www.freewarefiles.com/[/quote] Thank you Willistuder! I will definitely try there first in the future.
Freedom ends not with a bang, but with a whimper of security and safety.
Oops ! Well, it gives me a chance to say hi to CM!
From a modeler, the electric ones are a royal pain - and the most rewarding! But like you, I prefer the old Steam Engines. They have a lot more character than the diesel ones.
I am reminded of the movie - Unstoppable. That engineer never drove another train either!
Reagan was a "once in a lifetime". It is unfortunate, but a fact of life. Obama's are a dime a dozen. The jackals are feasting on the carcass. They do not realize that once it is gone, there is no more. Exhibit A - Hostess.
A vanishing breed in this country. I hope he enjoyed his day.
Good to see you back. I am an infrequent visitor these days myself, but I guess I will be checking in more often to check out your commentary.
Fell victim to it as well. I did not realize what was going on at first, so it took me almost an hour. I will never trust that site again.
[quote who="Anthony R" reply="46" id="3272712"]I try not to get angry at Obama voters. For one thing, I have one or 2 in my family (gasp), and it plays into Obama's plans for me to become polarized and get angry. Obama would like nothing more than to put lots of daylight between us and them.[/quote] Nope. Just let them have their way. In 1980, it was enough for America to see the descent coming. In 2012, they have to see it arrive.

[quote who="Jythier" reply="41" id="3272329"]The whole point of things being choices is that we make them. We don't make them because we think they're the wrong choice. So I would suspect that given all the things I've chosen, and you've chosen, we wouldn't see eye-to-eye on all of them.[/quote] No, you miss the entire point. The problem is not suffering any consequences of making bad choices. Once you eliminate the consequences, then you eliminate the
You misconstrued what he was doing and saying. He did not fire those 22 out of spite. I suspect, like most small businesses, he was holding on to them hoping for a change. When the change did not materialize, he let them go. He is looking for the survival of his company. regardless of who picks up the tab, he has to balance costs with revenue. period. He does not have the luxury of Obama to run up never ending debt, No private company does. 
I disagree. Moderates never win. Bush 41 (second term), Dole, McCain, and now Romney. I agree the Tea Party should pull away. But the Tea party did not lose this election. The moderates did. And I think if they abandon the Republican Party, that will mean another 40 years of democrat rule. But in the long term, you will have Socialists (democrats), conservatives (Tea Party) and Whigs.
Welcome back! And I do think Obama is intentionally driving us over the cliff. Reid just wants to stay relevant. But has long ago lost his relevancy. He could not pick up a Collins or Snowe for Obamacare, had to give away the whole store to keep his own people in line, and has not passed a budget in 4 years. He is a boob. An incompetent boob. He does not squat and leave it unless Pelosi and Obama tell him where and when.

It was not wise fawn was it? ;-) [quote who="Tova7" reply="26" id="3271796"]I find it HIGHLY ironic that my Democrat uneducated acquaintances feel it is the more educated party.[/quote] Here is even more irony. Education is hard. It is work to get a good one. The election just proved tha
[quote who="Tova7" reply="18" id="3271295"] Quoting Daiwa, reply 15In what may have been the shrewdest move of Obama's political career, he purchased absolute impeachment immunity when he picked Joe Biden for VP. Obama's completely untouchable, no matter how bad Benghazi and the coverup most certainly were. I was thinking along those same lines this morning.[/quote] There is a way out. The Agnew way. Biden is easily impeachable. Him first, Oba
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="13" id="3271266"]I'd like to be more optimistic but I think the die is cast. We'll only be able to delay and 'manage' the inevitable at the margins, best case scenario. Were I 40, I'd stay all Brietbart, but my time will be up before any meaningful course correction can be achieved, if one ever can be. May have cast my last vote of any kind, for that matter.[/quote] Amen again. [quote who="Daiwa" reply="15" id="32712

Since I am thinking about publishing, I don't really want to put up the chapters here....but I can certainly send you them.. [/quote] Please Publish! I will buy your book. And no problem on keeping them under wraps. Just let me know where and when t
I had one of those submarines. I thought that was the coolest! That and the tri-pod mounted machine gun that fired plastic bullets (legal in those days). But they would not last long as moving made me give them up after a couple of years. I still remember those - and my first train.
On an amusing side bar, MSNBC claimed he broke the speed of light barrier! (Baumgartner, not Yeager).
It was also the year the Mets first won the series. Yea, it was a memorable year. I was a bit younger, but it was a good time. I was living at Camp Pendleton at the time.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to it. A couple of weddings and a reunion with my oldest has kept me busy. Ok, if this is the missing chapter, where are the rest of them?
