It’s good advice, Twinkles but I’m not going to ask him. We stopped being friends awhile ago. Just needed to get it off my brain.

I understand.

It’s hard when people, especially old friends, turn out to be not who we thought they were they were. Sometimes you spend years being supportive and giving them the benefit of the doubt, and later it turns out they were not trustworthy and playing everyone all along.

Went to check out the veggie garden this morning and noticed that something (likely rabbits) had nibbled through the base of some asparagus bean stems, about 5" from the ground. Pissed me off a bit, considering they'd grown about 5' tall. So I had to jerry rig some wire fencing around their support frame to stop whatever it was doing the damage. It'll only work if it's rabbits, though: if it's some beetle or slugs/snails then the wire won't stop them. Pretty sure the culprits are furry, tho.

When I've had time to cool off, Imma go play on the new mower!

So butters likes to push buttons???

 

[Plasmaball]

Oh boy its allergy season.. time for nature to punch me in the face over and over

Got my Switch 2. Fuck yes.

 

[butters]

that was fun! got 2/3s of the backyard cut though it'll need a closer, prettier cut to make it properly tidy.

it's fast, quieter than the old one, handles so easily and with a really responsive steering wheel... he'll be able to use this one just as well as the old, if not better. The only downside at all is that it won't allow the blades to be cutting as you reverse, but no biggie.

So Harry won’t chop up the flowerbeds when he "accidentally" backs over them…

*grins*

he'd have to get over the rocks first surrounding most the beds, but yes

I miss the quiet peaceful times, the unbridled joy when I woke up, the soft breathing of sleep and sometimes even the sound of the sante fe in the early hours of the morning.

 

[TwinkleStars]

How bored do you have to be to bump a 16 year old thread????

Been looking at some clips of old rockers touring lately and they are dreadful. In particular David Lee Roth and Axl Rose. The first staggering around grinning like a confused moron and the latter screeching like an urban fox looking through a skip for food. Then there's poor Ann Wilson singing from a wheelchair and Lou Gramm making bizarre noises that are supposed to be singing I guess and not a cry for help. They should pack it in. Very sad.

Now Metallica is a different tale...fuck me they still have it in spades.

 

[Lorilei]

Butters, your posts make me tired.

Butters, your posts make me tired.

i'm sorry

the weather today is very tiring, 90, cloudy and humid and when the sun does break through it's scorching. *sigh*

got out fairly early this morning and picked another half gallon of green beans, got them cleaned and into the freezer. H went out while I was still in bed to pick up gas for the mowers but it's just too yucky out there for me to feel like doing anything much at all.

at least plants don't talk back! I don't know how you cope with all the kids you teach. I tried helping out at pre-school when my middle kid started there... it was traumatising for me! Everyone wanting something at the same time and the noise levels! oh my gosh. nuh huh

I was surprised how long Steven Tyler managed to front Aerosmith without tarnishing the brand.

apparently is was around the past two days but not so much today... can't really notice it, no smell and no obvious 'smokiness' just the normal greys of this humid weather. The heat, though... the outdoor thermo is reading 99 and it's only supposed to be around 90. Oh well.

Take care.

The smoke was so bad here that the weather person made a point of telling the viewers that there were actually no clouds in the sky, despite it being fairly dark and murky outside.

It should have been a cloudless and “bright sunshiny day”.

How is it?

 

[Wings]

How is it?

I really like it, I’m a rather juvenile game player, I just do it to relax and to me the colors and graphics are so much better, the bigger screen is more like my ROG, which is nice, but it’s lighter than the ROG. I do love being able to share the new MarioKart World game with my youngest two, even though they don’t have S2s.

The Chief told me the graphics are about PS4 level which is about my speed.
