Default Hello from Arkansas

I signed up a while back but haven't posted anything. Thought I better start. I'm a member on Rugerforum.net and a bunch of young whipper snappers started talking about abolishing Social Security, and I kind of mixed it with them. I might get kicked off the Board over there, and need a place to go. As long as you don't take my Social Security away, that I paid into since 1967, I'll try to hang around here. Looks like a nice place.

Hi Arkansas45, y'all picked the most friendly board on the net! We got a lot of shooters and most are Ruger fans. A bunch of us old farts are on SS and understand where you're coming from. We keep the younger bunch in line. Jump in anytime and anyplace you want. The "Coffee Shop" is where most of the general BS goes on. Welcome and tell Molly put your first breakfast on my tab. (Sooner or later she's gonna make me ante up.) Everybody calls me Vetter (to my face that is )

Welcome to Early Risers, Arkansas. I think you'll like it here. Since some of us are drawing S. S. and others getting near, you won't find us wanting to abolish it. Jump in any time you feel like it.

Welcome aboard Arkansas45! We have a Kansas45 so you should fit right in. I've been paying in to SS since 1961 so I won't be arguing to abolish it any time soon. Most of the time we BS about ordinary, every day things here - weather, food, hobbies, the government, guns, and etc. What sets this board apart is that the membe's respect each other's opinions even if they don't always agree with them. There's also alot of good-natured kidding that goes on here. The longer you're here, the more you get kidded!

Hello Arkansas45. Being the young one around here I am just hoping SS is still working when I am eligable to collect it. You will deffinately like it here. It is a good place to hang. I'll buy you your first beer since breakfast is taken care of already.
