Wow. And I thought I had a lot of guns. I'm 100% sure he has modified at least one of those rifles to be fully automatic. Which adds another felony on top of his crimes. Not even the military is fully automatic. They only employ a 3 shot burst. At least with the M16's.

I picked up Photoshop yesterday, and I'm looking forward to learning my way around it. I've never used it before, so I don't have a clue what I'm doing. So I was wondering if anyone here has used it and can give me a few tips on it that may make my learning experience a bit easier to get me up to where I know what I'm doing, without potentially screwing something up.

A prominent member of the Westboro Baptist Church is drawing a link between the Oklahoma tornado's devastation and a local team's support for openly gay NBA star Jason Collins. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/21/westboro-oklahoma-tornado-_n_3312712.html

So, I am looking to get back into my old profession of accounting. I know I have a lot of catching up to do, so, I am looking for a place where I can purchase college textbooks - teachers editions. (Used) I believe if I can find such an animal, I can do the catching up I need to do on my own. Any suggestions? I have the degree and the license, I just need to catch up. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Saw my Dad today, and I love to hear him talk about how things were when he was growing up. I think about how much history is being lost because the old stories are not being passed down or people are too busy to listen. My Dad was telling me about a relative that had a big farm on the border between Vt and Canada. How he used to take a big horse team through the woods into Canada, load up with booze and then bring it into VT and NH to sell. And how the local sheriff used to try to catch him. I enjoy hearing all those stories.

I have a very dear friend that lives in the Philippines. I have no idea how him or his family made out. Asking for your good thoughts and prayers for him and his family, and for all that live there. And to be totally honest, this good friend is my ex. We have always had a great relationship and now, a great friendship. I truly hope him and his family are safe.

Dan Avery, Oct 12, 2012 Members of Justin’s Gift were told in a letter signed by parade chair Elizabeth McFarland that there were no spots left in the October 27 event: “At this time we are unable to accept your application for the parade. “We have reached our maximum for walking units.” But as MPR News uncovered, the application for the parade license wasn’t submitted until October 1o, more than two weeks after Justin’s Gift was told the parade was full. The form estimates about 31,000 people with 250 parade units will be participating. -queerty.com Anoka Halloween Parade’s Denial Of LGBT Youth Group Doesn’t Add Up

Does anyone else post on Reddit? I started posting recently, and actually created my own subreddit. It's pretty interesting reading other people's stories. I'm getting ready to create a second one as well. If anyone wants the links I'll be happy to share them. I'd also love to have some people make a few posts as well.

A Russian anti-gay group has asked prosecutors to investigate milk cartons that it claims promote homosexuality to children. The label of the Vesyoly Molochnik milk, owned by multinational dairy company Pepsi Co, is adorned with a jolly milkman and a rainbow in the sky. Anatoly Artukh from the People's Council, says the label is a violation of St Petersburg's anti-gay propaganda law. "A rainbow appeared on the cartons, a world-renowned symbol of the gay movement," he said. "That immediately put me on alert." State prosecutors are now investigating if the label is attempting to promote homosexuality to youth, as Mr Artukh claims. "I have no doubts about …

I love this forum. I wish we could generate more traffic.

While the US's president made history being the first to mention gay rights in his inaugural speech for his second term, Brits may be paving the way to make sure their next king or queen will be so, whether gay or straight... U.K.: Law Proposed to Accommodate a Gay King or Queen

Hello again, I dress every night after work, and I like to record some of my thoughts. I got the idea of a YouTube cgannel from a friend at work who makes underwater dive videos and has his own channel..I decided to do one myself to model my outfits and document my transgender journey. It is a work in progress for sure and has taken on a life of its own. I don't know how many trans comedians there are, but right now that is the direction I am heading. Needless to say, I have a ways to go in terms of contrent and production quality.. I think the one I just did on demonstrating how to take the foil off a bottle of wine turned out pretty well. It is called Wine Opening …

Just curious. I decided to go out as a Playboy bunny, a friend had a custom for me and it fit well and makes my legs look fantastic.

No matter how they're treating us, despite the fact that things seem to be getting worse rather than better, I sorta thought we could use this about now ....

It's a fairly simple game. You post 3 claims about yourself. 2 of which are true, 1 is a lie. The next poster has to guess which one is the lie. There ae obviously no prizes, but it's fun to see how creative people can get, and it's also a fun way to get to know each other better. I'll start. 1) I collect skulls 2) I'm scared to death of my wife's macaw. 3) I wear a $200 watch. Can you guess which one is the lie? What will your claims be? Lets have some fun!!!

This is something that has been bugging me for a while now. This is gonna sound weird to most everyone. We all have a dead name that we no longer answer to. We ask people to use our actual name. For me my dead name is Jared. My actual name now is Jennifer. But with the Twitter/X thing I'm torn. I know it's not trans friendly, but I also don't know what to call it. Since the website was built, everyone knew it as Twitter. Now that Elon skuM owns it, and changed its name, what do we call it? The majority of people don't know what X is when you talk about it. They only know it as Twitter. So is Twitter the dead name and we call it X now? I know it's just a website, but …

I'm a YouTube addict. I spend hours every day on there. I'm subscribed to several channels. I was wanting to offer some channels that might be of interest to some of you, and see if anyone else has any they would offer. I'll give a basic description as best I can, but I've always sucked at describing things. Matthew Santoro - He's a kind of educational channel and does a LOT of top 10 lists. He makes it really fun. Rob Dyke - He delves a bit more into the creepy side of things, but has several series on his channel. Top15s - Nothing but the creepy stuff Chills - The same guy from Top15s this is his second channel. A lot of people hate his voice because…

The following is from a letter written by Converge Orlando executive director, Mikael Audebert. He very eloquently laced his thanks to the Florida Family Association with a generous dose of sarcasm, and worded the irony produced by the situation with grace and diplomacy of the best kind... -Mike Zack Ford | Jun 4, 2013 9:00 am "Next year, why don’t you just write a check directly to Converge Orlando to further promote LGBT tourism to our region? While I doubt you will take me up on this suggestion, I nonetheless look forward to working with you again next year in supporting another successful Gay Days." --thinkprogress.org Florida ‘Family’ Group Thanked F…
