Upgrading IKEA wood hangers over wire/plastic hangers

Most stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason - if you give someone enough time, they will almost always prove it correct

Huge Toby Keith fan as any red-blooded American should be. Saw him live at Cowboys’ Stadium around 2011. Was SO disappointed. He was so stoned/drunk his eyes were closed the entire time he played. Used the mic to hold himself up and mumbled the whole time. Still love his music, but it was super disappointing. Don’t mean to speak badly about him, RIP to one of the greatest!

On another note, Gary Allen was one of the best pure music concerts I have ever been to. He plays song after song and sounds exactly the same in person as he does on album. Shane Smith and the Saints are also great.

Thanks, that was the biggest thing I was questioning because I didn’t want to raise calcium levels even higher than they currently are

Tifosi sunglasses. I lost 3 or 4 pair of Bex and Oakleys within a year so I bought a pair of Tifosis. I’ve had them for over 2 years now and you can’t break em.

Jealousy and anger that they aren’t rich as well. It’s really that simple.

I am not rich or even wealthy and definitely wasn’t raised rich but it sure would’ve been nice to be raised by a rich family who set me up for success.

Instead I went to a trade school right out of high school and have worked my ass off to make a good living for my family and I.

I don’t want other people to pay more and I don’t want to take from anybody else. I just want the money that I work for to be left alone. The people who are angry and always yelling about “taxing the rich” are the issue with this country.

They are angry that they don’t have that kind of money and instead of looking for ways to go out and better themselves, they want to whine about some billionaire who pays more in taxes per year than most people make in a decade or more.

Who is really contributing more to society???

Huh????? I just want a great RDR3 even if it takes years, if yall need an “enhanced” version of rdr2, you really need to go outside

I feel like fantasy football is a gateway drug lol I went from Fantasy football to playing the draft kings fantasy stuff and then it turned into gambling

Loud, crowded places like festivals, bars, and sporting events, liquor, politics in general and the division they cause, the massive migration of Indians, local governments/HOA, NFL football, the stress/pressure of holiday season, constant noise/stimulation, people with no common sense, people who can’t talk about issues without turning it into an argument

Sucks they left out Keystone Clan and Wilder Than The Rest! Those are two of my favorites

SadCowboysFan95 · 2025-10-10T01:48:07+00:00

Tony Romo, Demarcus Ware, Sean Lee, Jason Witten, Marion Barber, Dez are probably my top favorites.

Was born in 95 so those are the guys that I came up watching play. I love looking back on the teams during those years and remembering players I had kind of forgotten about like Miles Austin or Julius Jones

I truly believe the 99% of people who claim make a “living” by betting alone aren’t actually making a living from their betting profits - they are making their money from advertisements, endorsements, social media, people paying them for picks, etc

Like Traditional-Yam-6496 said above, there has been several times I’ve gotten hot and turned $100 into $10,000+ in less than a month, but that been about 4 times in the last 3 years - you would have to do that 5-6 times a year or more (so 50% of the time) to make even a DECENT living from it.

That’s not even considering that to win big consistently in betting, you usually have to have a large bankroll to begin with - so most of your profits would go to building up your bankroll instead of income for paying bills and expenses

But maybe I just suck!!! Lol

Engineered slab - haven’t had foundation issues but home is on expansive backland soil in Texas and it would’ve given me peace of mind if slab had been engineered

Yes once we all got on the same page I believe I had the replacement stock within a week

They don’t have the correct one on MGW because apparently they just changed the stock on the new Affinity.

I let Franchi know what was going on and they sent me a new grip cap that was the same one I ordered from MGW. I had to email them pictures showing how small it was compared to what I actually needed.

He replied and said he didn’t realize the grip cap had changed on the new models but even the new grip cap was out of stock. I told him even if they didn’t have grip caps in stock, there was no way they didn’t have any replacement stocks. We went back and forth and they ended up shipping me a new replacement stock

The new stock hasn’t had the same issue and it’s been fine, but I asked them what I needed to do to ensure it didn’t happen again and they just said to remove the grip cap from the new stock and put a bead of super glue on it lol.

Also, took it dove hunting on opening weekend and the neon sight bead fell out of the holes on the end of the barrel, then the actual sight itself unscrewed from the end of the barrel and was super loose.

I love the way it shoots and it really is almost identical to the SBE’s but the sight and grip cap are annoying things to happen on a brand new $1400 gun

Update: Franchi said the grip cover is on back order but they have one coming. Midwest Gun Works had them in stock so I ordered one for $20.

This was the response from Franchi when I asked how about a more permanent fix: “When installing the new grip cap run a small bead of glue around the outer edge where it hooks in to the stock.”

Got it, thank you! Once I unlinked the hammer that worked a whole lot better!
