Sellers who insist on inclusion of item number but type the description in their subject line annoy the hell out of me, why don't people use their heads and provide you with an email you can print stating;
1. Item no.
2. Total with shipping
3. Mailing address ?
Why can't GB provide an invoice page and a seller's tutorial that includes the things above?

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Medical investigators could soon carry weapons as the Ohio State Medical Board considers arming some of its workers.
The board will vote on Thursday whether to allow the employees to be armed during their investigations.
Executive Director Richard Whitehouse says investigators often find themselves in threatening situations, and in the past have had to talk their way out. He says the weapons would be a precaution of last resort.
Whitehouse says investigators have encountered armed employees at clinics referred to as "pills mills," where doctors overprescribe pain killers. He says some of the sites are in "the worst places imaginable."
Other Ohio agencies arm some of their agents, including the state auditor and the attorney general.
Now the rant...
(often find themselves in threatening situations)
Hmmm.
Been reading about convenient store workers finding themselves in threatening situations.
Been reading about college students finding themselves in threatening situations.
Been reading about Postal workers finding themselves in threatening situations.
In fact I've been reading about nearly every group you can name finding themselves in threatening situations.
But as far back as I can remember, I can't recall one medical investigator in the news.
Maybe I can't see the big picture here, but what I do see is that Ohio is saying the medical investigators have more right to live than the rest of us.

Feeling better now,thank you.
And people actually buy couch space for this?
Gunbroker is in the business to make money and it takes people to make that money. To draw people to their site to spend money they have to make the site injoyable and fun. The forums are a part of this. When the mods keep pissing people off they are going to leave and take their money with them. There are many gun auction sites and many gun forums for people to use.
When the mods lock topics for no reason at all like the association thread, it shows their childish, inmature thinking and its time for a wake up from admin.
I have been a member here since 2001 and even though I don't post much, I do read all the topics and learn a great deal from the experts on different topics. A great number of members have moved on because of the Mods. and with them went their money and knowledge. If the Admin. wants to promote this type of childish behaveure, then I see more people leaving and taking their money to other sites which in the long run will ruin Gunbroker. Its up to admin. to rain in some of this unnecessary poofing and locking of threads.

Why should have the greatest nation in the world change it's standard to fit 3 world nations? Followed by new math. The dumbing of American children by 3rd world countries has made America a 3rd world nation.
Our leaders know this and now are trying to cover their own A$$es.
The military is under political control. Now that should really scare you, if your awake.
I know the don't rock the boat go along people will say we're better off with no child left behind. (but then I wonder about their statis if there was no such rule.
Idiots that complain about ANY law our leaders pass and do not go out and petition for that law to be put to ballet really have no complaint. These people are the same as the political people who passed the law. Even GB'ers have been asked to sign petitions and they do not, but they keep on complaining. WHINEEEEEEEE,
Well I'm glad thats off my mind.
OK, now it's your turn, have at me.
I swear I have had it tell me both on the same number. Why can't the computer just take it out of put it in As needed.

Wednesday: Had appointment with guy to buy 25 tons of Timothy. Rented truck and elevator. Got to farm on time but gate locked. Wait fifteen minutes and call guy. No answer. I call back half hour later. Guy answers and says he'll arrive in a few minutes. Another half hour goes by. Call call again, no answer. I leave without hay and a multi-hundred dollar truck and elevator rental bill.
Thursday: Had 1:00pm appointment with farrier to trim hooves on three of my horses. Guy doesn't show up. Half hour past appointment time I call guy but no answer. Guy calls me back 45 minutes later. Says he came at noon (while I was in town) but nobody was around, so he left. Asked why he came at noon rather than agreed appointment time, no answer. Asked why he didn't call first to change appointment time, no answer. Asked if his mother still cut his meat for him, he hangs up. Now must wait until Monday for another farrier.
The above is the norm. Anyone offering products or services and having a sound business ethic could make a fortune here.

If you have a pet cat, keep it under your control and in your domain/yard. If it encroaches onto someone else's property and/or causes inconvenience or damage, it should be disposed of, as humanely as possibly, even if that is a slug to the head.
It is what it is.
I kill enuff of them that I have a special place out back away from the house to bury them.
Kill every last one of those worthless bastages. I would.
I have knocked many cats in the head for urinating on my equipment. If they were destoying my garden or my vehicle, I would eliminate EVERY LAST CAT that came in my domain. These are not "pets", they are vermin. Wanna place bets, that they are eating songbirds from neighbors birdfeeders? They do and will.
Hopefully when the Fed. Wildlife Officer shows up, she'll quit doing it.
If not, their is no ;aw that says U can't trap'em, on your property. Make sure she sees U with them in the traps.
Damn I must be going to jail! I shoot at least 3 cats per week around my place (and I shoot to kill) with my high powered pellet gun.

Back up in Jersey, when i took my Hunter Safety Course, the instructors told the class to shoot/kill ant cats u see in the woods. Unless they were OBVIOUS PETS.ie. bell, collar, etc. It can't be illegal to kill feral cats..

Now that's knee slappin funny, I don't care who you are or what you do fer a livin. [:D]
Glad I can entertain you, doughnut man. [:)]
I just knew that you had more to you than just keepin company with cows. [:D]
There is much more to me, than it ever will appear, Dano. [8)]
I bought a rather hefty FPS air rifle and put a stinger on his butt recently but if my neighbor don't move and take these buzzards with him, they are going to disappear. Enough already. I've honored our friendship in spite of these worthless felines and even had to feed them numerous times when he was traveling...... (trust me that was hard to do).
I have plenty of sympathy for anyone dealing with the independence of cats and the "damage" they can inflict and I HATE CATS, but we have to be wise in our choice of how to handle something this delicate. I have to say, if he was tearing up my soft top new Jeep, he'd already been gone. Lucky for us, we have coyotes around here and stuff keeps disappearing???
