  I used to, I may yet again. FYI, shotguns are better for self defense, too many things can go wrong with handguns if you're not an expert.

  Suggestions for car buying

  if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

  top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

  not too expensive to maintain.

  Re: snow and four wheel drive.

  If you buy a four wheel drive learn to drive it (if you don't already know). A number of years ago we drove to my in laws for Thanksgiving in a snow storm. I started keeping track of cars in the ditch just as we started up the mountains. Fifty miles later I lost count at 24, 21 of which were four wheel drives.

  How to Cause a Hardcore JW Brain to Malfunction

  i am leaving it to the reader to decide whether this trick is funny in a cruel way, or potentially beneficial.

  it can definitely be used for evil, that is to say, personal amusement.

  then again, it could be a kind way to help someone start thinking outside the box.

  Your plan assumes that the JW brain is functioning to begin with, in my opinion a fatal flaw in your idea.

  Edited, becuase I misread your comment. I still think you should look at what financing would look like. Repairs on a 5K car will probably more than equal a payment on small car.

  Just out of curiosity, have looked into whatever terms you can get on a new car? I went through a mess of used cars for about twenty years, and spent a small fortune on them. In 1998 we bought a new Ford, in 2005 we traded it in on another new Ford. Since 1998 we have not paid for anything but routine maintenance, the peace of mind is worth some money. If you buy a lower end vehicle you can (with decent credit) get a good care for under $200 a month.

  Its worth at least calculating the cost. Remember the cost of a car is not what you pay for it when you buy it. It's that, plus gas, insurance, licenses and repairs for the life of the car. If you're comparing a used car that will last five years against a new car that will last ten, remember that you're going to have to buy another one half way through the ten year span.

  i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .

  it keeps evolving.

  sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.

  I've been here twelve years, I was already well out of the borg. I've found it a useful resource for my writing -- or maybe its just a place to chat with people while convincing myself I'm doing research.

  you can't make up this kind of religious nut-job fanaticism:.

  although in retrospect, it's no more extreme than those jws who die refusing blood.... adam.

  adamah, that was, in fact, Jefferson's opinion.

  edited to add, he's on the wrong side of history. This issue will be moot in a few years.
