I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Not sure why others are getting offended....? But yes, there is no one MA that is the best, they all have their strengths and weaknesses and hence why the blending of skills is the ultimate goal. I took a very formal and traditional Karate for...

Yeah, I feel bad for those dogs, being a dog lover....but this is all on the lady who owned them. I posted on that thread that it wasn't all that hard to control your dogs. I got a bunch of whining about that...

So a neighbor around here (very rural N Arizona) had a run in with a nearby rancher. Her dog(s) kept getting out and bothering the ranchers livestock....even nipping and injuring them to the point of them needing veterinarian care. The rancher warned her about it a couple times and the dogs...

Thanks all....I've tried various types of pills that they hawk on TV/Internet. They work or worked sometimes, maybe I just need to keep trying...I know there has to be a fix besides drugs and surgery, I ain't going there.. And funny, Supervisor42, but I feel better when I drink beer!

I'm an old(er) guy :) and in really good shape, except just recently the prostate thing has gotten really bad. MRIs and Urologist visit show no problem except enlargement. The ONLY solution the DRs propose are Meds...(of course), and they don't work (FloMax). There has to be a natural...

But it's not about throwing people around....it's about avoidance, short deadly strikes and joint locks, mostly.....

Another Goju Ryu guy here. about 30 years. I trained in Okinawa twice. Although we're too old to win a fight against a younger guy with the same skills, it still teaches you enough serious stuff to 'disable' an attacker.

One of my pet peeves is today's doctors. I moved to a small town with a lot of older folks, and I am on my 3rd PCP, in 2 years! If it wasn't pure incompetence, it was an arrogant attitude. On guy asked me if I drank and I said yeah, a couple now and then. The next visit he had me listed as an...

So then it would be easy to overrun an Amish community? I can't see them not fighting....?

I hear ya. But the situation where an Amish hunter would be a threat could be quickly changed by 30 guys trained in the use of AR-15s.

That's how I did my off-grid house. Sunk poles in the ground and hung a deck off them, then took my time doing the walls, they don't bear weight if you do it this way....

Probably correct....except and unless you have a few in your family/friend unit that are extremely well armed and trained, way beyond the rest of the neighborhood, who may be armed but with hunting rifles they use once a year....

Why not stick with tried and true building methods? They are still around for a reason..... And can be made ecologically quite nice....2x6 walls, 2x14 floors and ceilings, recycled insulation, metal roofs, Etc. And they can be considered very cool by the Greenies, i.e. Leeds Certified..............

Well, how well would they fare against a group armed with modern weapons? I think not very well? Might they consider arming themselves better?

The so called "Advantage Plans' are not that good. Stick with the Supplemental ones. Cost a little more. but Waaay better. BTW, they're not free.....we paid through the butt for all this.....

This is a Medicare thread. Everyone must find a supplemental policy that is accepted in their state. So there is no single company that can be recommended to all. I'd strongly suggest getting an Insurance Agent that is local and that you can meet with and discuss your particular health needs...

Shaggy Juniper - 1 Cord = $250 delivered and stacked. Smells great (relative of Cedar)

Everybody on Medicare must pay the Part B to the Govt, which is currently $170 mo

90's and 1% humidity. But we have Monsoon season rolling in so hopefully will get some incremental rain.....

Right now having a morning protein smoothie for breakfast (after two cups of coffee)
