Random.....

[fiberaddict]

Bunch of random stuff; some prompted by comments, some just floating around in my head. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!


1. CHL: I had worried about being on a "list" somewhere...but I have been thinking. Right now, it is against FEDERAL law to carry a firearm, 2nd Amendment or not. If you are caught, well....you lose your 2nd Amendment rights forever. Yes, the laws are UNConstitutional. But.....if I want to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights, I need to play by the rules...and they currently state I need a piece of plastic.

Here in Texas, you don't register your gun, and you don't need to own a gun to get a CHL. EVERY class I checked out offers rental guns......so no one knows if I rented a gun or used one I personally owned (or borrowed. Because...yeah, I had a gun, but I ran about 300 rounds thru it, and it just didn't fit my hand, so I sold it at the next gun show. Haven't replaced it yet, sorry!)

1a. Carrying concealed: Men have it easy. Inside waistband holster, and they're good to go. Women...not so much. Cornered Cat has a bunch of suggestions - go there. She's said it already. But.

I don't agree with Purse carry. It's not always on my body, and can be snatched easily. If someone grabs my purse, and I'm using it to carry, well....my handgun is GONE. (And please don't say that you NEVER leave your purse unattended. Grocery shopping is a prime example - and I'm guilty of it, too. Get to the store, grab a cart, and plunk my purse in the seat. I'll leave it there while I pull stuff out of the freezer section....and my kids? Aren't watching it, they're talking to each other, or grabbing other groceries. There's a time and place for purse-carry, but it's not for full-time use. IMO, of course. :wink:)

I'm thinking of a belly-band, because it makes the most sense *to me*. The "flash-bang" bra....not even. I've yet to find a bra that has enough room for *me*, let alone me AND a handgun. And...how do you access it in an emergency without flashing everybody? No....I'll stick with some sort of waist-carry. (Thigh carry, if you can find a secure holster, has the same problem - I don't want to flash people. Even in an emergency, y'know?) I have time to decide - we haven't even taken our class yet. :grin:

2. Revelation: Been reading and thinking about this. IF we're here (hope not, but I try to plan ahead, y'know)...well, things are going to suck, and mightily. The 4th bowl/vial is when the sun is permitted to burn people with fire. (The 4th shofar is when 1/3 of the sun burns out. NOT fun, either, but not as bad as the bowl/vial Judgement). From what I read, the whole Earth is toast (pardon the pun) at this point - it doesn't matter WHERE you live, it'll be affected. (Yes, the Lord will protect His own. Still...) This may be why we're still here, and haven't moved anywhere (we're willing, but the Lord hasn't told us to go. So...we stay. He put me *here*, anyway, so I'm OK with staying.) Again, hope we're not here for it...but.....we might be. So, I'm trying to think ahead. With limited success.

3. Sabbath practices: For the past month of so, I've felt like I need to do *more*. We already do the candles, the fine china, the linen tablecloth.....but we all come to the table "as-is". I've always felt that He doesn't care what we wear.....so this has been an issue for me, because I've been feeling that I need to dress up more. :scratches head: So...I've been working on a dress. Folkwear 107- the Afghan Nomad dress. LOVE it....but my "prototype" doesn't fit. :bangs head: I was SO careful - I cut out the Large size (even though, by their own measurements, I should be a Medium)....and my shoulders are too broad. I think I have a solution...add a 2" strip of one of the fabrics to the side of the bodice, on both sides....but I need to think a little more.

What makes it worse? I carefully sewed each seam, then went back and SERGED them. :bangs head: So...I have to undo the sleeves, both sewn seam AND serged seam. :sigh: Later. It's in time-out right now.

Hope everyone is having a good Hanukkah! Hag Samech!!

Fitting is the hardest part of sewing, bar none. Which is why the prototypes are always basted (machine basted) for the first few go throughs. I'm often ripping and restitching! -H

Did you watch the video at Shirat Devorah? The Mayan scientist who explains 12/21/2012? I'll be posting it on my blog on the 20th (it's all set to go!)... but the gist is that there is going to be energy/radiation aimed at the earth at that time. It's going to hit pretty much between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn... with spill over into Nicaragua to the south, and Texas to the north. He says that the reason that they built the Mayan pyramids (and his teams are building more smaller ones as fast as they can all over Mexico) is to try to absorb and contain this energy... because it's going to burn up the surface of the earth. They want to protect the people/land from ill effects and release it slowly, because it will create a higher elevation of the spiritual, in slow-release doses.

((Well, that and he says that the non-Mayan scientists are planning on trying to absorb the energy in the Collider so that they can amplify it and have frightening amounts of power for their next test... which will cause bigger events than Chile/Honshu (massive quakes shaking the earth off its axis further), sinkholes, and eruptions. W.O.W.))

I thought right away about the Trump judgments... the first of which is that a third of the earth's vegetation getting burned up, and half of them involve a great quake or 'hitting' of the earth. Since India, part of China, the jungles of Polynesia (Burma, Vietnam, etc) are there in the range of this incoming radiation/energy, that would definitely fulfill Trump One's vegetation burn. But... TEXAS. That's in the range. I know you're not worried, but I worry FOR you.

Only the first twelve minutes are good (then he goes into 'streams of consciousness and peace' crap), but it picks up again about minute twenty-four to the end.

Did you also see Extinction Protocol's article:

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/string-of-mysterious-booming-noises-reported-across-several-u-s-states/

There's a map of where they are... it's like it's drawing the top half of that line the Mayan is talking about. Like a boundary is being drawn by an unseen hand and that area beneath is being prepped for what's going to happen.

Definitely check out the video and that link. I wouldn't've posted under 'H' - you know my stuff doesn't have the levity of her basting and hemming comments - but I thought you should know there are a couple things posted that are VERY interesting, this weekend!

I asked DH again what he was recommending for you, gunwise. He said a .38 special would be good - it's relatively easy on the wrists and shares ammo with a rifle, and it's big enough to discourage coyotes. (He had told me before. Mentioning guns to him is like mentioning colors to me, we just can't stop the advice. -snorts-)

Guns small enough for your bra are too small to be safe. Asked bigman again, he said that a shoulder holster would probably work for you, since you don't wear form-fitting clothing. Camoflage rather than full-concealment. (Not sure how that's going to work to pull it, he may think you layer more than you do. I guess you could sew concealed slits?) The police do that small-of-back carry... (this is my idea, not his) and that might work if you're wearing baggy shirts. I know the bangers around here who wear baggy shirts often wear them to carry concealed - or look like they are. /rolls eyes.

I guess you play around with your usual clothes and see how you could get a something in and out of various hideyspaces and then go shopping?
