    Remington 700

    Anyone here have any experience with Remington Model 700? I'm curious if there's a specific caliber or type within the 700 family you prefer. I'm a fan of .30-06 and .308 rifles I've fired, and the .308 XCR Tactical looks like a lot of fun for those challenging 500-yard shots.

    Help with My Book?

    I'm currently working on my debut novel, a science fiction love story about a disabled veteran and his mentor's daughter, who fall in love as the world falls to pieces in the zombie apocalypse. Where I need your help is in building the romantic relationship between Vincent (my protagonist) and...

    Was She Being Subtle?

    So tonight, I dropped into a restaurant for dinner (Chipotle, if it matters). I was just about finished with my meal when a pirate lass happened by, because it was Halloween. She told me she liked my penguin costume as she came in, and I thanked her. After she got her food, she dropped by my...

    Sig Sauer P226: 9mm vs. .357

    I'm looking to get a Sig Sauer P226 MK-25 for home (apartment) and self-defense, but I'm not sure if I should get the 9mm or the .357. If you can imagine standing on your heels with your toes pointed toward your shins, that's how my disability makes me stand and walk. I can't really put the...

    A Dating Conversation

    This is a game where one person asks a question, and the next person answers it, then asks their own question. Straightforward and easy. How do you feel about penguins?

    Problematic Background Check

    I have never gone through the process of buying a gun for myself. I'd like to own a handgun, but here's the problem: I have a suicide attempt in my history. Long story short, I have bipolar disorder and PTSD. I got into a toxic relationship, had multiple stresses at the time, and accidentally...

    Pain with Infection

    I have severe pain due to a UTI. Going to the doc this morning. Need the pain to go away long enough to not make a scene on the bus on the way there.

    Do You Want Kids?

    I don't want children, ever. There are medical reasons for that, but they're secondary to the fact I just don't want kids. What about you?

    Learning Spanish

    Hola, me llamo Rob. I am a mostly self-taught Spanish student looking to practice my language skills. Right now, Duolingo says I'm 15% fluent, though I doubt that. My goal is to move to Los Angeles, where it would be helpful to know Spanish. ¿Ayudame, por favor?

    Practicing a Language

    Could we have a forum for practicing different languages with native or multilingual speakers? I realize you'd need people who understand what's being said in order to moderate it, but it would be nice to be able to practice my foreign language skills with others.

    Do Their Friends Matter?

    Suppose you meet someone, go on a few dates, and get along well. Then you meet their friends, and find them to be lacking, for want of a better description. Your prospective significant other seems fine, but you find their closest friends to be conceited, immature, or what have you. How much...

    Considerations for Moving to Los Angeles

    I currently live in Colorado Springs, but am prayerfully considering moving to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting as a career. I'd like to know what I need to consider. I've never lived outside my home state on my own, so I'm pretty ignorant. My current income is from SSA disability benefits...

    Hit Me

    Not literally. That's mean. Never hit a penguin. Inspired by the "Don't ask me that" thread, I'll open the books on myself here. Ask anything, so long as it's within the rules of Christian Forums.

    Mentoring a Friend

    I have a friend who is around my age. Like many, he is distraught by being single. I certainly was, and because I've learned to be content in my singleness, I've extended an offer to help my friend learn what I've learned. He is, at least nominally, open to the idea. The problem is, he has poor...

    Bed Bugs

    Last year was my first experience with bed bugs. Long story short, I ended up in the mental hospital (there were other stresses that contributed to that). Now, it seems I inadvertently took at least one to a family member's house. These things are pure evil. Absolutely evil. Please pray that my...

    It's Been a While

    Okay, so that's an understatement. It's been years since I was last here. I don't recall why I left, but I've been searching for a community of fellow Christians, and this seems to be the most diverse one, with the greatest opportunity for good conversations. If memory serves, my on again, off...

    An Answer to the Hope I Lost...in Christians

    I recently spoke with a friend of mine who is a self-described pagan (by which she simply means "non-Christian"). She is a writer, and is currently working on a book in which the Christians are the bad guys. I asked her how that was going to play out; she said the bad guys aren't bad guys...
