I am a Cop in Southern California. I play ice hockey, work out, and do some woodworking in what you could call a very small home shop (my garage). Its kind of funny how I seem to have picked up a troll who follows me around and gives me a thumbs down for my posts, seemingly for no reason.

  • garage door opener strength?

    What strength garage door opener should I have (1/3, 1/2, or 3/4) for a paneled garage door (not solid piece) which is for a two car garage?

    I currently have a 1/2 horsepower craftsman opener, but the worm gear wore out on me. It is an older model and It just stopped working because the gear is stripped.

  • I was raised Catholic and my wife is atheist/Pagan...?

    We got into a discussion today about St. Patrick's Day. The short version of the story behind the holiday is that St. Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland (converted the Pagans to Christianity). She told me today that it irritates her that people wear green on this day (I wore a green shirt to the gym this morning) and most wouldn't if they knew the real story behind it. I explained to her that it is not about St. Patrick and what he did anymore, it is more of an Irish pride type holiday than anything. She likes to put down Christianity and other organized religions. I told her she was looking into it too much being too sensitive. I said she was being like other religious zealots trying to impose her beliefs on others thinking everyone is dumb who doesn't believe what she does. She got very mad at me as she often does when she has nothing to respond with and now refuses to let me even touch her or come near her and she won't talk to me. Was I wrong? What should I do?

  • Cop friendly Tattoo Parlors in San Diego County?

    I want to get a tat and every time I go to a tattoo shop I see some guy getting a Hell's Angels tat or the artist has one... or the like... Kinda makes me not feel real comfortable. I don't want any kind of cop tat, that would be kinda lame, but I'd like to feel comfortable in being there. Any help would be appreciated.

    PS: I'd also like a place that you can work with the artist on something elaborate.

  • My 4 year old won't listen to anything?

    Asking him nicely, telling, taking things away, timeouts, threatening, even spanking. None of it seems to work. He likes the word NO, which I suspect is common. He is my oldest of two sons so I haven't had to deal with it before. Any ideas?
