Adventures With Tempting Fate...or Pushing Your Luck.

It started when I was young. I went swimming once right after eating. Didn't even wait a half hour like I was taught to do.

I'm guessing that's about me. I can usually take a joke & don't offend easily, but I'm tired of the supposition that I must be a dude (or used to be) because I'm on a forum about firearms. Apparently some a*hole (or more) has pretended to be female & pissed off some folks, fine. I ain't them. I'm new to the sport so not many folks know me yet, however at some point you'll meet me (or someone you know) & look the fool for confusing me with a dude. When that day comes, I think you'll owe me an apology for insinuating that I have been dishonest.

~also really sorry if this post kills the thread because the topic was a fun.

No one in Kansas City advertised doing that until long after I was too old to trick-or-treat anymore. Instead, my parents had my brother and I dump out all of our candy on the dining rooom table so they could inspect it - while we were in bed. Eventually I got old enough to realize they were giving a quick once over for the safety side and an in-depth review to see what they wanted out of our loot. At that point my brother and I pre-inspected the candy and took most of the good stuff and stashed it in our backyard before taking the rest inside.


We used to jump our bikes off of a ramp - and we'd jump over people. I was always the ramp engineer(except this ONE time...) and made solid ramps. My bike wasn't good for jumping so I was always the last brave soul, #14 of those getting jumped over. Only got grazed a couple of time.

I didn't realize you could get a CCW permit back then.

Lots of great input here, but this one has got to be the thread winner by far:

Got married senior year of HS. 3 kids, 9 grandkids and 40 years later (at end of the month) we're both still alive, kind of.
