So, who washed the restaurant dishes for 200 years before the 11 million illegals showed up??? I think we’ll survive...;)

Even as .410 00 buckshot he got lucky. That’s 5, 30 cal balls at 1150 fps.
Had he been hit in the chest, he’d be goner

For sure. My son-in-law uses a shotshell as his first load in his handgun, says it's to scare someone rather than kill. Follow-up loads are lethal. Maybe this lady should have done the same, to "scare" the guy. I know the 00 buckshot I have in my shotgun is not for scaring people!

I would not want to be hit with it.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be the target of anything either. I’ll have to ask my son-in-law what size the pellets are in the shotshells he uses in his handgun. Very tiny, he says he might kill a rat but not a person.

That's what happens when you use cold water to clean dishes. ;>)

A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a secluded, rural area of the state. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather, "Are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them so go on and finish your meal."

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of this plate, and a substance that looked like dried egg yolks. So he asked again, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore!"

Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby town. As he was leaving, Grandfather's dog started to growl and would not let him pass, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out."

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching, Grandfather shouted, " "COLD WATER", GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

” after the victim went out and bought a steak for himself but not the defendant “ ..... If my dad had done that (and I do believe he did, more than once!), my mother would have been glad, because he had saved money by only buying for himself. She’s very frugal. -— - Of course, she likely already had the meal done that was to be for the whole family... He arrives home with evidence that he had stopped at a barbeque place or something like that, even steak (he loves steak)... She and the rest of us had likely already eaten; or were about to. ..... She also just doesn’t get mad about things like that; that’s how she is. ..... This happened before he got a cell phone. Nowadays he might call and tell her that he was stopping somewhere on his way home. [or might not :) ]

LOL I now recall she put some special juice in a certain part of the fridge with a note that said (in her handwriting) “For DAD ONLY.” The rest of us had to drink whatever there was, which sometimes (depending on our finances at the time) might be a mix made out of “powdered milk” like Carnation. I think it was the store brand, like, Kroger powdered milk. You have to mix it with water and stir and stir and stir... Doesn’t taste very good either ... :)

[as a teenager I sneaked a little bit of imitation vanilla flavoring into a glass of that “powdered milk” and drank it like that. ha!]
