That's all he bought as he knows nothing about reloading. Judging from the condition of powder and the can I'd say there was a bunch of well cared for items there. I wish I could've been there!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Or is anyone else sick and tired of all the hate, threats &amp; actual violence from the retarded socialist left <br />
<br />
It’s actually hilarious in a sick kind of way having a couple guys try and intimidate ya by stalking &amp; threatening ya after mocking them for being useful idiots <br />
<br />
oh my the blue wave is coming….ok so impress me….and the left melts down <br />
<br />
One guy said he found me on the internet &amp; went to my apartment looking to kick my ass. Only problem is, he was in the wrong city and wrong person…but the police were notified and a statement with screenshots was submitted <br />
<br />
Don’t you dare speak out against liberal socialists or else…..and the socialist are loud &amp; proud who love to threaten you<br />
Lots of shit talking about Charlie Kirk so I bent over and shoved the hate down their throats &amp; oh look, here come the death threats &amp; telling me that I’ll look good with a 30/06 hole in my neck…..ahhh a police report with screenshots shots filed…<br />
<br />
I’m so tire of these losers in life trying to flex <br />
<br />
Was told I needed schooling….and when I was like, ok let’s meet for breakfast &amp; we can compare CV’s he suddenly shut up and disappeared <br />
<br />
It’s like they are getting desperate for attention <br />
<br />
Oh well, a case of ammo arrives tomorrow, have about 60 mags to loans &amp; then go shooting hopefully Friday <br />
<br />
I hate people, they can be real cowardly prick bastards, lots of talk without any ass to back up their angry hate filled violent shit talking<br />
<br />
Even offered to pay for breakfast &amp; was laughed at by a liberal that keeps threatening me…..<br />
<br />
Now I want a 24oz Blue Moon &amp; a quad whopper with cheese &amp; an ice cold mug of buttermilk]]></description>

Almost 8# of unique and an almost full 4# jug of h.universal clays as well as various 1# cans of a few other suitable powders.  I think I'm set for awhile.<br />
A few years ago I made an impulse purchase of a Lee turret press but didn't use it much. I'm starting to appreciate it for handgun loading, especially with the Lee disc powder measure. It dumps very consistent charges of unique, far more consistent than any other measure I have.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tonight Darline Graham won the republican primary to replace her brother who suddenly died <br />
<br />
Question is, is she good for SC and the country? <br />
<br />
I’ve got mixed feelings about her brother but learning how he went to college &amp; raised Darline along with working the family business (if i remember correctly) and how he started out as a far left liberal revolutionary to republican/conservative (debatable) <br />
<br />
My state went from red to purple at the state level, thousands of democrats registered as republican &amp; voted for RINO’s and blatant liars who were running as republican knowing they did not have a chance as a liberal <br />
<br />
This was the worst local election I’ve ever seen, tons of mud slinging &amp; character attacks, millions of dollars from outside the state, misleading attacks. <br />
<br />
One commercial appeared to come from a strong conservative really attacking his opponent only to learn it was paid for by a pac related to the guy being attacked….<br />
<br />
Yep a liberal paid for the political add attacking him making the conservative look bad <br />
<br />
And that’s just the tip of it <br />
<br />
However, at the federal level it looks like we will stay Red…..]]></description>

For some reason, we don’t know why, he just howled once and fell over dead. I can’t describe how devastated we are. He was only 3 years old. We’ve lost him exactly 364 days after we lost little Pumpkinhead last year. He’s the third one we’ve lost since they were born in 2003.<br />

I don’t know how much more this old man can take, Gotta go cause the keyboard’s getting wet.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I purchased a Ruger sr1911 commander and am waiting for the 10 business day crap to end so I can bring it home. (Good thing we have that, it'll cool me off and I'd have to use one of my other firearms for a murderous rampage, no way I'd use one of them for that.) <br />
There's something about the feel of the 1911, nothing says "Hello old friend" like a 1911. Are there better choices for edc? Yes, many better choices but the feel of the 1911 is like a warm handshake to me. I have only one other 1911, a RIA double stack 9/22tcm. It's close, but not quite the same.<br />
I went with the Ruger largely because of Daniel's experience with it. The amount of ammo he goes through is amazing and his is still performing well after 10 years. I also ordered a tribute holster from simply rugged for it on his recommendation as well as my prior experience with with simply rugged. It's a bit spendy at &#36;170, but I know they build good stuff.<br />
I think I'll start a go fund me page after all that, I've already made a cardboard sign that says "Will work for ammo." It's a little slow, after 3 days I've only gotten 4 22lr cases and a cup of coffee, (without the cup).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My last job shut down right after July 4th so I was putting in applications pretty much everywhere and finally found a new job close to home at a major manufacturer. The position is for a freight handler for a logistics company, mostly driving a forklift. When I went for the interview I was given an offer for &#36;18/hour and started on the following Monday. <br />
<br />
I just got my first pay stub and they didn't pay me what they quoted me in the job offer. Instead they paid me a lump sum for the position that works out to &#36;16.81 per hour. And then the 1/2 hour of overtime they paid at a rate of &#36;8.30/ hour. <br />
<br />
Not paying what the offer said is one thing, it is a shyster way to do business, certainly unethical but maybe not illegal.  But paying less than 1/2 the hourly rate for overtime is absolutely illegal on both the state and Federal levels. I'm kind of pissed about that and would really like to jam it up their asses but need to line up a new job before I go nuclear with it.<br />
<br />
So what say the group? Any way you see this as being something I shouldn't go talk to an attorney about?]]></description>
