He wants to pass on the catalog to them.

I saw it. Thanks.
Related story. I bought a book on collectibles at a yard sale in Alabama several years back. Did not remember exactly where. Was looking through it a bit later and found an autograph from Hank Aaron to the name of a boy/man. I also found one of those magazine advertisements where you send off for some toy that boys want. Forget what the details were, but it had a name for a boy and an address. This was before all the google search ability so it took me some digging and calling but finally found where he last lived and a phone number. I imagined how thrilled he would be to get his autograph back.
I called the number and explained why I was calling and that I was looking for the person with name on autograph. The woman that answered did not even let me finish all the way before she said he did not live there now, she had no idea where he was, and could care less about him or where he was, and hung up. I still have the autograph.

I don’t understand why people can’t salvage stuff. I mean it would ultimately be cleaning up the lake.

 

[traveller777]

I don’t think so, scooter!

This is horribly cruel to those sharks. Look at his teeth. Many teeth are missing where he bit into the air tanks and broke them. Sure they will grow back but poor shark.

Thank you all for reaching out. I do read and take things into consideration. I think I'm just going to stick to myself for today I don't want to be social. Take care everyone have a good day.

Mornin JVA!

You're not here in arms reach.
Know what you'd get offered to do? Hint , it's work related , unless time afield grubbing brush appeals to you .

Don't suffer alone. Yes you need caution in who to converse with about certain topics. And that may not be the first or fifth "professional". And while you'll know who is sincere, you'll find others simply going through the moves or unrelatable.
While making others peoples problems your problems is not always a great idea , The right listener can help.

We can say "we truthfully know". But till that is believed by who we're saying that to , do they believe it? If they don't , that makes unrelatable.
And presto , nothing is gained even though we know. And here comes isolation again.

A support group should consist of what cross section?
Might be a good project for you. For the sake of others as well.

Meanwhile , I continue to believe you and I could get along just fine.
I wouldn't be much help with people skills or actual dealing with big swings of anxiety. But could provide an environment that puts me at ease enough to share it. My own therapy of frogging around in dirt and wildlife habitat with no pavement in sight. And few people around.

Never forget , " pobody is nefect!"
Pobody.

Soz, had to have a quick meeting 🙄 xx i do love my garret now it has a better coil… he has the apex… so he has the AT max on his list, hence why i was heading to deus… we are on iron stone land… so iron stoney they actually mined it in lots of our fields x

Two cents? :

I always tell people asking for help on what detector to get, pretty much the same.

First of all, decide what you *intend* to do with it and where. Most anything can find stuff in the wood chips of a tot lot.

Next, figure out what type ground you'll be hunting the most. Then, find what detectors will work best for *you* in *your* ground!

If you're looking for a good "all terrain" machine, the AT-Max more than fits the bill. It also has the depth capability. Facinatingly so, when comparing the all metal mode vs the discrimator side! Although...if its a trashy area? All metal mode will drive you crazy!! Even though it is one of the only detectors that allows a VID number *IN* all metal mode. One still has to watch the numbers as the tone is the same on all targets! Also allows checking iron audio in that mode too!

One more lil tidbit. Be sure to actually *listen* to whatever machine you're considering before buying!! I got an old White's once and had to return it because the frequency of its signal was *abhorrent* to my personal ear!! I *HATED* listening to that whiny sound! I couldn't use it!! LOL!

Good luck in your searches.

That's wild. Sounds like he had a bad break up.
I have lived in this community since 1985. Everybody is flipping related here! I mean, thanks to my son, now I am too! LOL. They are very proud of there history and love telling yarns of yester year. They know who came from who, who came from them, who had an great great uncle who invented the whatchmajig. Do you know what I am saying? So, I posted it first on a local FB page and second, I shot off an email to the president of the Historical Society that I had linked. no one found yet, but that's all it took to get the ball rolling. I have already seen people copying and paste my post. I have been getting pms from total strangers. I am thinking, "What did I get myself into?" LOL. Anyway, it's kind of fun.

Nope. we're perfectly normal here.

One of the dogs can't stand a fly in the house. He'll go sit in a corner or hide.
The type breed that would take on Haydes with a squirt gun. But not a fly in the house.
Outside? He'll snap at them.

So outside I go at times with a heavy duty flyswatter.
The dogs sun on the deck and of course deerflies and a couple other types harass them at times. My purpose is to reduce flies.
But there's a glitch. I'm too slow!
The only way I can wallop a fly is to think "mongoose speed" before dropping the hammer.
99% of the time that's the only sucess.
How did I get to that point? Heck , I used to grab them out of the air.

My first silver was this bracelet … I was so excited as it had the person‘s name and address on it… I have tried everything to find them FB and written to the address and nothing 😕 i so wanted to be able to actually give a find back to the owner!

Nice effort, blossom. At least you tried to do the right thing. Many would just not try.

Good morning all, really early for me. Went to bed at 10 something managed to fall asleep a bit woke up at 2 and found it impossible to go back to sleep so been up since than and gave up. Sleep problems progressively getting worse been hoping it would just go away and haven't wanted to tell anyone in my family I've had this issue. I play off like I'm okay but my generalized anxiety disorder has been funky for months just lots of days of feeling horrible, I dread sleep when I used to love it was the one time there was some peace now i can't even have that. I don't understand why anytime I try to sleep once my eyes are closed and I relax my mind just goes into random thoughts for no reason and I can't sleep it bothers me too much and makes me scared. The thoughts aren't scary in themselves more so having no control over it scares me. Just on the verge of tears because I don't know what's wrong with me or why this is happening. I've done my best to tough it out I don't want to burden my family when so much is going on. I've had so many false scares with my generalized anxiety disorder playing havoc with me. I've tried so hard to bother no one. I just feel alone and terrified. I'm so upset I don't even know how to handle it anymore

I,m not making light of your problems John,but my mind does that many nights.In my case I just embrace the dreams and thoughts and become part of them. Randomness and all. Don,t really help my sleep,but I don,t worry about having no control over them. In my case,being alone,in reality or in thoughts doesn,t really bother me,part of my makeup I suppose. Been that way since a child.
