Would having a scope mounted on a Winchester 94 from 1946 make big difference in value?

i believe that it would harm the value, by a surprisingly high bit -- Clarification -- Yes, it would almost completely kill the collector value. For example, a c.1946 carbine, typical flat-band configuration, in 90% condition could easily sell for $500. Once it has been drilled/tapped for a scope, $200-$250. sales@countrygunsmith.net

How can you be cured from Humiliation?

If you have been humiliated by something you haven't done and the person(s) are just nasty then hold your head up and walk away. After all who IS THIS PERSON(S) to you anyway! People who harm other people by humiliation methods are insecure and immature. You owe them nothing! If you are true to yourself you can never go wrong.

People can call you names, beat the heck out of you, etc., but one thing they can NEVER take away from you is your integrity, your soul and your faith.

Stand proud and NEVER falter!

Humiliation isn't a disease, but a frame of mind. It depends what you did. We all make mistakes and sometimes we can really make some bad judgment calls and can be humiliated by our peers. No matter what caused this for you think of it as a learning field. We ALL make mistakes so we can learn from it so you have to figure out what you have learned by what you did. Once you have done this then you work on your personality and face up to what you have done. If need be go directly up to the people involved and apologize and some may accept your apology while others may not, but that is something you should do to be responsible for your actions.

The true crime of such things as humiliation, embarrassment, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, etc., is not learning from your mistakes. We will all make mistakes throughout our lives and it's how we handle it to better ourselves that counts.

So, face up to yourself, straighten those shoulders out, plant both feet on the ground and face up to what you have done. Apologize and take the consequences from each person.

Can cataracts be inherited?

Cataracts happen to everyone. It is the process through which the natural lens of your eye starts to harden and yellow (looks like when a toenail starts to harden and yellow). It starts to hinder your ability to see clearly and makes everything you look at have a dirty, yellowish appearance. It is caused by UV exposure over many years. It is easily remedied with a simple surgery where they break up and remove the old dirty lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Cataracts can not come back once the natural lens has been removed.
