    Purchased two S&W 340 SC/PD (:wub:) on the site. Also purchased a Ruger LCP, .380 Hydra-shocks and holster. In the end, I got exactly what I paid for. I recommend using it, but make sure you find a FFL that will accept different types of transfers.

    .38 Super Comp -- Montana Gold 124g JHP/CMJ

    Switching to 115/125 Zero JHP just for the sake of trying something new. Love the MG though. Will find out soon which works better in my pistol.

    I purchased a new mattress set from a place that uses a delivery service and they called and gave me a 2 hour window of when they would deliver. That was 2 hours ago and I am still waiting without a call. Now they show up.

    Could always walk out the door and demand a refund from the mattress store. That at least would teach them to use a more reliable delivery company.

    Then you run the risk of no mattress.. :ph34r:

    Eventually when you get bitten by the bug and start burning through a bunch of 38S or 9mm... a 650 will start looking pretty attractive.

    This is why I went with the 650 for my first press. It's been one year and 4k round later and I wouldn't change a thing. The way things are going now, I may be going through 8k-10k. Strongly suggest you go with the 650 IF you plan on reloading a few thousand rounds at a time on any single caliber before switching over. my 2 cents.

    Pretty girls are crazy. Pretty and crazy are directly proportional. I know this because I married their leader.

    Good luck, brother! It will be fine in a few days. Actually, you are screwed for quite some time...

    Well she's crazy for me. I'm crazy for her too though. She's always been eye candy if ya know what I mean. I still look at her and think, wow.

    There are a couple of things to realize here:

    1) You are who you are. Either you need to PERMANENTLY change your way of thinking to suite her needs...or stay the way you are. (I believe changing SOME THINGS is a balancing act that helps you to grow together, and teaches her that she is important to you). But then again, she needs to accept who you are, as your personality is not going to change if you get married.

    2) You need to accept her for who she is. I hate to say it, but if yall get married...she WILL change. And I guarantee you, based on the 2nd law of thermal dynamics, it will be not for the better. (Anything with order will eventually break down to a state of disorder - known as aging). Guys add a few "sagging areas" in specific spots, as do women in other areas. It's just a fact of life.

    3) She will get "gordita" in time, especially if she likes to eat goodies. (Whatever that may be). If yall are younger, her metabolism is keeping everything at bay for the moment. But as she gets older, and keeps the same eating habits...age will not work any longer to hold the inevitable back. She will get gordita in areas.

    4) Don't focus so much on her "looks". Like I mentioned earlier, they will eventually go away. Instead, focus on who she is as a person. Is she pretty and superficial? Or is she caring, warm, and someone you would pick to be the right person to raise your sons and daughters down the road?

    5) You have to like her. She must FIRST be your best friend. (This is who you will, possibly, be spending the rest of your life with). And if she is constantly getting hung-up on petty things like this, then consider her character. This is what you will have to dea with in the future...but worst. (As she gets more and more comfortable with you, her restraint of her emotions will come down...so get ready for worst).

    Bottom line, be yourselves, and see where it goes. If this is such a big deal to her (petty as heck if you ask me), then maybe she is not for you. Don't change yourself for her too much. Because in time, you will also lose the willingness to restrain your true feelings to make her all nice and happy...and YOU may not be what she wanted in a man.

    If life is a balancing act, then marriage is like walking on the razors edge. It looks impossible at first - but once you get each others eccentricities down, you can do it all day, every day, and you will even look forward to it.

    Be best friends first...then go from there.

    In Christ: Raymond

    Your like a god with you input. Every correlation you made is relatively close to what IS happening or HAS happened. She is my best friend. I wish I had the time to type out all the trouble I have been in. She never once doubted me which is half the reason I got my life turned around. She's mentally strong too.

    Seriously, I can't believe I made it to the bottom of this thread! :sick:

    Would you rather be in my position? Probably not.

    You back pedal by saying something to the effect of "Well, honey, the New Year is just around the corner, and I was thinking it would be good for us to have some health/fitness goals or resolutions....see? (grab your belly and jiggle it) I need to get in shape and/or lose weight too. Would you help me get healthy?"

    Seems to be the most reasonable thing to do right now.

    If you guys break up before Christmas...can you take her presents back?

    :roflol:

    I was wondering the same thing. I don't wanna do that though because she's getting me intake and programmer for the yamaha 700r. <--- Is that not a keeper?!

    First, this thread is useless without pics. :roflol: Second, you can't take back what you said, so buy her something nice for Christmas (not a threadmill). If she comes around to her senses give it to her, if not, save the reciept. It takes a lot of time to determine "keeper" status, just ask my attorney. Best of luck!! :cheers:

    Just for you I will post a picture of her pretty quickly. You guys gotta see what I'm workin' with.

    Buy her something nice.

    Don't ever mention her weight, diet, or exercising ever again. Unless she brings it up, and then tread very carefully.

    Wait.

    Repeat.

    But I was told, you never wanna get them anything that will remind them of you. With time, presents and shopping will more than likely be the only fixer for this one. Problem is, she $(#@ing into high end clothes (purses too).

    Health and fitness is a big part of who you are. It is fundamental to you...it is part of your basic being. It is respect of self.

    Your long-term view of your life includes her in it. You hope that she can share in an aspect of your life together that you feel is such an important and fundamental part of who you are and what you see in a potential mate (< soul mate ).

    Flex, I wish I would have consulted you before going out and acting like an idiot. She is the best thing that has happened to me so far in life. I will actually use some similar wording when we speak again (when the smoke settles). I'll let ya know how it goes.

    To make it up 'I bet you were thinking about 10 years from now in your comment not next month?" If that is the case find a way to say it.

    To find a woman that knows the worst things about you and still loves you & respects you, ...is Bliss ;)

    Wow, you hit that right on the head. It wasn't meant to be an immediate sort of thing. I just want her to care more about herself. She'd rather sit on the couch and watch 3 movies than do anything physical. That's what I am trying to change.

    I got in a hell of a lot of trouble about 5 months ago. It was very serious and it had the ENTIRE family worried for me. She was there for me every step of the way, that's how I know she's the one.

    For the most part, I was trying to "express" :ph34r: what I have been feeling lately (not a manly statement I know, but she's a keeper, maybe).. Told her to stop eating so poorly and to start exercising. She isn't over weight yet so I am trying to make it an issue before it really needs to be (I'm sort of a fitness freak). As you may guess, now its a biiiiig deal. :wacko:

    Anyways, please don't comment on what I said. Focus on how the %$*@ I can get out of this one. Any ideas? :unsure:

    Wait until Facebook burps and posts someone else's shooting video to your profile, which leads to your getting dozens of notifications of commentary posts - in Spanish.

    Haha, still waiting for that one. Can't wait. At least I can semi-read it now.

    Looked at your profile and searched your name. Got 5 different candidates. A few are ruled out bc your profile says AZ. Do a facebook search for Preston Walls and I am the user with the red shirt located in Dallas Texas.

    everyone talks about texas and florida...well, if alabama beats the gators, texas has a tough big12 title game too...likely the huskers. could be alabama & tcu!

    I'd like to see Texas in it... don't think that the huskers will really be to much trouble. If they do mess things up, I'd also be happy to see TCU go for it. I am a little bias, my cousin plays for TCU (O Line). We'll just have to wait and see....
