One of these? Personally I'd prefer something with a little more oomph, but it should be fine as a purse gun.

I love that gun! I saw that at a gun show last November but we ended up buying a Taurus man gun for DH's beside. I do have a little [non-pink] Keltec 9mm but I would like something I can out in a holster.

My son recommends a sawed off shotgun for the back door. I may get that too.

We've had a few meet ups.
Both were botox-free to my knowledge.
I don't rule that out in the future. flirt

Addendum:

We've actually had more than two, the other was girls only.
A lunch in Santa Monica.
It was heaven.

You are making me homesick...

Temple works for me. Maybe three hours from the part of West Texas I call, er, home. Maybe three and a half.

Anywhere but Austin; too much licentious behavior over my money happens in that town.

It was black and I sold it. Now I drive an old Suburban with 225K miles on it. Works for me, paid for.

I guess Austin is ok. I get a headache from bumping into all the signs people are carrying around. Uh, maybe it is because they are beating me with them or trying to hand one to me after I say something.

Good food means I don't have to cook it.

I lived in Austin for years. My oldest was born there.

I never carried a sign. My favorite bumper sticker seen in Austin is "Think Whirled Peas."

You all do know that FIESTA is only 2 months away (and counting)?


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
