Needing Nothing Here. (Will Be Paying In Again)
I Have All I Really Need. Great Wife, Wonderful Kids &
Good Friends Here On K.F.
In My Eyes. I Have It ALL Already

 

my wife got upset when I told her I didn't need anything...so her and my daughter went out and bought me an xbox 360 with the wireless setup and COD2...they also picked out a few other games for me

 

Good Deal man !!

 

+1 Great perspective number dude. I try to always think that way, but every so often I catch myself forgetting to appreciate how good I actually have it.

I was considering an XBOX 360 with tax money but I think the Glock will give me longer enjoyment... I want it mostly just to have a gun and to have something to shoot... but also for that "just in case" factor of defending the home. We have .22s and whatnot but I want my OWN gun, you know?

If I get the raise that SHOULD be coming my way very shortly, then I may just use paycheck money to get the XBOX down the road.

 

Agreed. Big difference between needing and wanting.
These days I "needed" for very little. (knock on wood).

But "wanting" opens up a whole new world

Dear Santa:
Skip the world peace; that is a lost cause. Instead, and with far less effort, please drop off a TE310 on your way by. I'd sure lieke to play with one of these... You Da Man.
Thanks.

back when I was dating my wife and livin' in Cali she was on the phone with me and heard gun fire in the background...it was thugs havin' it out behind the house...next time she flew out to Cali for a visit she was hand carrying a new Glock 27 for me

 

Well I had a FORMER friend flashing a stolen piece at me recently so that's one motivating factor... knowing that there are people who just dont' give a WHAT and would gladly take your life and their own without batting an eye...that's why I'll be going with the .40S&W rather than the 9mm... I'll pay 20 bucks more for a box of bullets for the bigger hole.

 

Glock and S&W MP are both very fine handguns. But if I had my choice, it would the Glock. It is a tad bit easier to take apart for cleaning. But the MP is little more comfortable to shoot with. To each, their own. So I gotta own both of them. But nothing beats the smile that a S&W 629 .44mag puts on my face.

As for XMAS/ tax refund. I think I already spent mine. Ranger got alloy wheels and new tires. Also new wheel bearing parts. Spent my 5year of service reward on a new PS3 for the family. I still have bullets on order from HSM. I'm practically broke until January.

 

Well then get the .45 ACP. I'm mighty found of my Sig Sauer P220, but I have to admit I've been looking at a G-23 lately.
