    I was in there today. Bought a Lower for the current AR build. It was wall to wall. I asked them if Sat. was busy and they rolled their eyes.
    Nice place. Call them when you get done at the church and see what the wait time is. If it is not to bad we can shoot from the shelter at MCFG we just need some cardboard backers for the targets. I have clays to shoot at but if you go with me it is point and shoot drills.

    I have plenty of cardboard.

    Dang mom, sounds rough. Good luck with dropping the guy...again...


    Ironically, he claims to be a mechanic! He can't even change oil. She does it herself.

    I just keep repeating to myself..."this, too, shall pass".

    She wasn't very happy with me when I told her my truck was not available to her. She hung up on me and called my husband. I filled him in on the discussion before his phone rang so he backed me up.

    Well, lets see what the day looks like around noon tomorrow and make a decision. I am up for an outdoor shoot sans RO's watching. Costs $10 to be my guest at MCF&G

    I'm good with that plan. I might be away from my 'puter so if ya'll figure something out just text or call me. I'll load the gear in the car before I head to church.

    We were supposed to go have lunch with my parents tomorrow. Daughter called an hour ago saying her brakes went out on her car this morning. She wanted to borrow my truck for tonight and tomorrow while my husband fixes her car. Of course, she had not even ASKED him if he would fix her car at that point. I pointed that out and told her my truck was no longer being loaned to anyone. So...now we are going to be driving her all over because I am not comfortable with my truck being at her apartment with the idiot and lunch with my parents has been postponed to Sunday. We will get her car and hubby will crimp the line to keep the fluid from just running out so at least the front brakes will work and he will drive it home to fix it. Idiot has been assigned to drive her to her morning job. We will pick her up from there and take her to the second job and pick up her car that she is supposed to be leaving there. Once the car is fixed, we will have to take it to her so she has a way home. I'm getting tired of her crises lately.

    Poor idiot won't have anyone to deliver his lunch at 1 in the morning. I hope he took a sammie to work with him. :lmfao:

    Not wanting to be critical Mom but my daughter put us through near the same crap. She was needy and wanted the attention. She has come well past that now and has found her path but there was a time I was afraid to answer the phone when I saw her number.
    It all came to a head when she called one Saturday morning and said her truck quit on her late Friday nite. It was in a church parking lot about 20 miles out. I rolled to look at it (my truck in reality) and found it was out of gas. I had to go back and get a container and put gas in it. I went back and got her to bring it back. During the drive my advanced interrogation skills got her to admit she let her POS boy friend drive my truck out partying with his thug buddy's. My truck/insurance etc. That was a very bad day for all involved. I am lucky I can still buy/carry firearms.
    I feel your pain.

    Yes.....I can be a very mean bully. The rumors are true.....:)

    You are at the stage where you can not enable her. If she has a fall back she will continue to us you so she can exist in this relationship. Put her out there on her own and she will soon see the light. JMHO but that is what it took to open my daughters eyes.Tuff love and it near killed me.

    Yeah....I'm surprised I don't have a permanent dent in my forehead from doing this for real.

    I assume she got home since her friend was supposed to take her and I have had no additional calls so I am going to bed.

    I know this can't be easy, I'll pray for ya'll.

    Sleep well, mom.

    Tough love has to come into play. I am NOT taking a chance on jerkface driving my truck. It is not happening.

    She is describing large puddles of brake fluid under the back of the car if she pumps the pedal two or three times so it is just shooting it out on the ground. She was going to put some in and try to drive it home (15 miles). Hubby explained to her that she may have front brakes at the first stop light as it is just a block or so away, but the next one could be a huge issue and told her NOT to drive it. Period. Leave it at Walmart and we'll get it tomorrow.

    He can stay calm and get through to her when I am losing it and not in the mood to deal with her crying and wailing. She is pretty dramatic at times, and I don't deal well with drama.

    He said he is going to ask her who is going to fix her junker when he dies. I told him she just got paid plus he gave her some cash yesterday for Christmas so at least he can make her pay for the parts. If he pays for them, she will never pay him back so it is time for her to start paying her way and he agreed. He has a soft spot for her so I have to toughen him up too I guess.

    Both my kids led me a merry chase as long as I was there to bail them out. Once that door was closed they started to wake up. It is seriously hard to do.

    Been there and shed those tears. It sucks, but it has to be done.

    I agree. I am actually much better at tough love than my husband is. He will fix it but she will have to buy the parts. If she doesn't have the money, I will take it out of her bank account since she got paid today and I am on the account too. I have a sister who enables her oldest son. He is 32 and mommy buys him vehicles every time he wrecks one. She bails him out of jail. She bought a place for him to live when his house got foreclosed. The list is endless. He will never grow up...ever...not even sure it will happen when she dies.

    Once again...thanks for listening and your words of wisdom. It helps to have reinforcements that I am doing the right things.

    I am off to bed now as soon as I put a couple of cats outside.
