Just giving him the option for another dillon in the same price range that gives him the ability to load for rifle. Uses common dies, can do more and holds value. Plus the 550 has a broader base to resell to which the SDB may not.Quote:

You guys be quiet. Mrs bo bought it for birthday gift. She already knows I need a 550 and a couple caliber conversions for rifle. Probably Anniversary or Christmas gift. She understands how important that second press is.
Single stage is set up for 38sp which we have good inventory and don't shoot much anymore since she started collecting 9mm wheel guns.
SDB for 9mm since we shoot alot.
550 for rifle calibers. I can wait until after I get long range rifle set up.
I hear you about waiting. I've had rifle reloading components for years, but have yet to even start yet.
Glad I could be of help. If you have any other questions let me know.Quote:

Some may remember I mentioned that I've never experienced something like this, but I wouldn't back out on a family in a time of need. And that still stands.
However, if faced with participating in this type of situation again, I will opt out and recommend that professionals in an accredited facility manage the passing of a loved one. I'll plan my visits and do what I can to bring whatever level of comfort I can provide during those times.....and maintain some level of personal life and rest that is required for someone that is going to work every day. I had no idea just how draining this process can be, and the different stages of "caregiver" emotional roller coaster ride is about....and watching a mind and body revert back to an infantile state.
I've seen and learned a lot this far into it, I'll see it through, and check that box completed.
Sorry OBC, thst stuff is tough.
I didn't realize you were going hands on buddy. That's got to be rough. When my family member decided to do that, it was done in two weeks. You've got to be experiencing stuff you never thought you would. Hang in there.
Sure as shit isn't easy OBC. If you need to talk hit me up bro
Sorry you have to endure this Chris.
I can only imagine what you must be going through - doing this while working a full time job and trying to do life.
My father was under hospice care for an extended period with my mother as the primary caregiver and a nurse coming in periodically. We were there only the last week after receiving the dreaded, but expected, phone call. It was a stressful, dreadful situation. It was heartbreaking to see my father in such a frail and helpless condition.
You're a better man for having stepped up to such a huge responsibility and undertaking.
Thank you, gentleman. I do appreciate it, and possibly more than you might think.
I am not blood in this situation, but that alone is not a reason to care less about people who are struggling through a tough deal. Folks who are losing their mental capacity can say some very cruel and hurtful things to the very people that are bending over backwards to deliver comfort to them....while they are doing it. Lucid times mingle with the extreme alternative/opposite versions. I didn't know that was part of this process.
The bottom line of learning about this, for me.....is that I don't ever want to be that age and that state of incapacity. Or to burden people I know. I never want to be like that for my sake, or theirs.
If I can't bang the stewardess on a plane going down, or the hot teller during a bank robbery.......I'll handle my business off on my own where it doesn't affect anyone else outside of doing their regular job. I.E. accident investigator surveying the vehicle wreckage at the bottom of the mountain type thing.
The air time would be exceptional provided you chose the right cliff at the right speed. :)
Don't want to be a drag either, so lets have some fun.
When was the last boner you had, and how did you use it?....ha ha.
I pried open a pickle jar, but I was still in the store when I did it.
:D
Sometimes, a frozen box of shit doesn't cover it.....and a peanut butter sandwich chaser is in order.

Anyway, the phrase was "Hay un lapiz en la mesa" and the correct translation for the exercise is "There is a pencil on the table." Someone asked why he couldn't say "There is a pencil over the table." I've never given much thought to the word "over" (or most of English to be fair) but it abruptly made sense to me how English can be difficult to learn. Of course I run into things like this constantly learning Spanish, but it makes more sense with something with which I'm more familiar. If you look it up in the dictionary http://www.dictionary.com/browse/over?s=t there are over 50 different definitions, and of course they aren't all related in an intuitive manner. Anyway, "over" is a strange word.
Over the table? It's ON the table, not hovering Over it.
¿Sobre la mesa? Está EN LA MESA, no se cierne sobre ella.
But spanish has many different dialects, inflections and slang. While it's all close, in a way it's not.
Pero el español tiene muchos dialectos, inflexiones y jerga diferentes. Si bien todo está cerca, de alguna manera no es así.
Tying to explain grammar to a Spanish speaker, when you barely understand Spanish yourself es muy dificil. I had to use a translator and still edit my post several times.
From what little I know about it, the Spanish dialect differentiates between male and female. Kinda retarded IMO.
I'd like to learn it one of these days, seems it would be really beneficial in the long run.
I hope we all have a good week, ladies and fellas.
Here's to a positive start. :)
That's not really what it is, nor is it unique to Spanish. Words have a sex, but it has nothing to do with the quality of the word, or who is using it.Quote:

One knows when conversing with them where you learned your Spanish. AS Spanish is the "proper" way regarding he/she nouns, verbs etc. Once you get in with some Mexicans, Puerto Ricanos, or Costa Ricans there's differences / slang unique to each of them. Don't even get started on Portuguese ;)Quote:
