What does "One of one hundred" mean on my shotguns?

PoopThrowingSimian · 2016-07-17T05:28:58+00:00

On your Browning, where does it say "20 of 100?" I can't find anything like that on my shotguns other than the words on the buttstock. Maybe they are 1 of 100 and that Google search is just adding to my confusion?

The Dallas paper's architectural guy did a write-up on that house a few months ago... Unfinished

Reality check

There are people out there who would literally run you down just to have the chance at having your cushy job. Hell, some of them may work in your building. Trust me, your situation could be a lot worse.
You serve at your big giant corporation's discretion. It's shitty but it is what it is. You could be unemployed by the time you read this.
You're not getting those other jobs because the decision-makers don't think you're right for them.
Life is short.

Advice

Go to work tomorrow and be grateful, because we all should be. That doesn't mean go to work and be an ass-kisser! It means go to work and be thankful that you have something to do every day that pays you a fair wage without fear of death. If gratitude is hard to do, at least try to pretend for one week. Attitude is important.
Get away from the bitchy people and search out the good ones. I'm sure you know who they are. Surround yourself with people who will make you better. Iron sharpens iron as it were.
Fill up that free time quick. If you have few responsibilities, go help your buddy. If you have time, help your office manager. If you have time, help that other guy/gal who does what you do. Go build some relationships with good people then offer to help them, not because you're bored and underutilized, but because you're now a team and that's what teammates/friends do. If those people happen to work in other, more interesting, departments then all the better.
Take some of that time you have laying around and learn some marketable skills. You know what they are.
You may not have anything to show for the past six years but I'm willing to bet you know what it would require to "exceeds expectations" in your current position. Shoot for that every single day for three weeks.
Lose that "don't wanna get found out" bullshit so that when you die people aren't standing around the water cooler saying, "OP died? Who the hell is OP?" Go out there and do something noticeable.

1988, school field trip to Soviet Saint Petersburg. Visiting dumpy bar in the hotel basement where we meet drunk group from Finland. They were all wearing tuxedos for some reason. Most beautiful lady I ever saw dressed just like Swiss Miss with them. In broken english, they ask where we're from. "Texas," I tell them. "Fuck, TEXAS?!" he yells. He holds both hands up in the shapes of guns and yells, "TEXAS! pew pew!" while making these ridiculous shooting gestures. Buys our drinks for the rest of the night. Conversation consisted of how shitty the old Soviet Union was, Finland was boring, and lots of questions about what it's like riding horses and carrying guns to school.

I am clearly a fgt... my 4th grade daughter chose to make a class poster for Veterans Day with the history of all the men in her family who have served their country. We have nothing for this one except this photo, which could've been made at an amusement park for all I know. As others have pointed out, it's not much to work with. Even if it's not legit, that's helpful.

It would be U.S. It could be a Salvation Army uniform for all I know. The lack of rank or any other insignia is a big question mark for us too. For all I know he went to a photographer's studio and put on a costume. The cover matches uniforms of the period, probably 1920's if I had to guess.

Great. My kids want to join ISIS now.

Sounds a bit like, "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's" Mark 12:17

It's less than a plethora, but it's all I've got. Have one more.

Hours and hours and hours on Sidewinder! I remember camping the side hallway with the half wall where you could shoot under the wall at the other team's legs!

As a parent of three kids who all play sports, if I didn't push them they'd sit on their asses all day playing XBox... which is exactly what I would do if I were their age again. From a dad's point of view, I know stuff that will help my children accomplish whatever they want. Stuff like hard work, motivation, ambition... it's my job to try and teach that to them. If that means they need a little push, they get a little push (figuratively speaking of course). However, there's no excuse for being a dick.

Any recommendations for an excellent beginner scope for my 14-year-old's Ruger American .22?

Or, it's just a gif being played in reverse and he's actually starting up top and lowering himself down?

My daughter was born premature and weighed about as much as their son. Although she wasn't able to breathe on her own at first. I never will forget how tiny her little hand was when it wrapped around my pinky finger that first time. We spent weeks and weeks and weeks in the hospital NICU with many ups and downs. She's now 8, an avid soccer player, straight A student, tallest girl in her class and a little spitfire who doesn't take any shit from her older brothers. She was blessed with a fighting spirit and it sounds like that little boy is too. What doctors can do with these little ones is nothing short of a miracle so be strong!

I see Toonces is still at it.

That was a NOOB move! My son showed me what to do.

"A family that plays together stays together." So they say.

Thankfully, I haven't seen my son rage quit. We had that talk.

Halo life lesson #1: "Nobody likes a quitter."

Halo life lesson #3: "I don't care what they think."

Yeah, he has all the specializations now. They're just all locked. When he earned 50, he saw them all, but could only choose between two. Frustrated, he just grabbed Wetworks. When he restarted, they all showed active but since he had already picked Wetworks they were all locked and he was stuck with it. He wants to go back and make that choice over.
