I'm not opposed to folks getting wealthy, I'm a capitalist at heart. That out of the way, the story of the rookie football player getting burgled blew me away. Thieves made off with $200,000 worth of stuff from Sheduer Sander's home. 200k in belongings and he's a rookie? 
So, I had to look him up. Being the son of another pro football player, I guess he had some money before being drafted but still, 200k in things that could be carried away?  That's more than my net worth!  I don't have a problem with sports stars making lots of money, they work hard to hone skills I don't have.
When I was younger I fantasized about winning the lottery and all the things I would buy but now I'm getting a little too old to take care of a ranch. At this point I'm content with what I have and can't imagine living in a mansion or things like that. It would be nice to win a lottery, mostly to have the means to help friends out. A big shop and a 600 yd range would be nice too but other than that what in the heck would I want?

[GOA News] He Defeated the NFA Tax — Now RINOs Want Him Gone

Thanks to the tireless leadership of Congressman Andrew Clyde, the NFA tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other NFA items will drop to $0 next year. In the NFA’s 91-year history, no one else has taken this big of a step to repeal the tax. Clyde was the driving force behind this, one of the greatest Second Amendment …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na111225/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>

When I replaced my Teflon egg pan I bought one of those ceramic pans from Walmart, blue diamond brand. If one believes the tv ads ceramic is miraculous. Mine sucks, butter or oil is mandatory and I still get spots where the eggs stick a little. Did I just get the wrong one?
