I can turn over the garden and add some fertilizer, but planting (sets) is a good 6 weeks away to avoid frost.

My son-in-law does landscaping, mowing, and snow plowing and makes enough to support my daughter and grandchildren. We appreciate folks like you.

I agree with you. I have a self propelled mower that I walk behind; total time to mow the lawn is about 3 1/2 hours. I mow it in sections of about an hour each, a day or two apart. I also have a small vegetable garden (tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, pepper and eggplant) that is very low maintenance. Others get on the treadmill, I walk behind a mower. My "break" is an cold brew and a swim in the pool.

Ah, the Kinder, Gentler Poojer!

I prefer Shake'n'Bake. check this out: In the frying pan

This book is a "must read" for anyone who wants to see the other side of agents, players, promises, deals, and poker faces. Check out your local library, they should have a copy. When I started reading this thread, I was thinking of that book, but could not remember the author or title (my copy is at home in a box). Thanks, Bill!

Don't be shy. Call the church office and ask what the tradition is in the parish.

Yes you can! Sponsor Me Here! Thanks!

Yes, good old old "Fezmid" was not content just helping Campy, he has offered to help me too! Thanks, "CW"!

VERY sorry to hear about your friend. Give Matt my best wishes. He will be in my prayers. For those who do not know, there are two types of MS. Relapsing Remitting: mostly controlled my medications but still jumps out to slap you around now and again. This is what I have. I am very lucky! Chronic Progressive: Things just get worse at an unknown rate, like going down a slide. You can go from R/R to C/P without warning. This sounds like what happened to Matt. GREAT JOB fund raising, Chris! Thanks also for the chance for me to do my weekly MS WALK 2005 "bump". My team is up to $500 in donations (mostly from TSW), and the Rochester Walk is May 1st. Thanks to all. If you want to sponsor me and if you can, here is the link to my site. God Bless you all! Rockpile's Page My "diary" from last year's walk.

What he said.

Also, no other restaurant got so much press for copying the Garbage Plate. Because they are upscale, they leaked the story to the press and got a lot of free advertising, while mentioning Tahoes several times and comparing it to the Plate in the article. Perinton. Bah! I hope Nick's wins.

Then that's what you tell them, and they will genererally give you a one-time waiver (NY anyway). I got out of it this way, for legitimate reasons, several years back. A few months ago, I got the call and went in. Used up a morning.

Is it possible to only see her at her own house? Don't invite her to family functions. My step-mother was like this. If you gave her the moon it was not the stars. I took my dad aside after a few years of this, and told him that until she changed she was NOT allowed in my house, PERIOD! He was welcome any time, but if he showed up with her I would not answer the door. Life went on without them. It took two years, but finally she was at least able to show up, be quiet, and fill her book of memories with all the sh------- food we served, our poor taste in furniture, how we went out of our way to make her feel slighted, terrible child rearing techniques.... ad freaking nauseum. But she did it with her mouth shut and pretended to have a good time. She died lonely and alone several years ago. You reap what you sew.

See what happens if you miss a day?

Ron Mexico, phone home.

Ding, Dong, Ron Mexico's dead!

I went up to the bar tonight, meeting some friends after work for a "pop" before I went home. There were a couple of glasses and a half pitcher that seemed to have no "owner" and we wanted the spot. I called the barmaid over, ordered a pitcher of "blue" and asked her if the barstools were taken She called over to a guy who was playing darts, and asked if his boys were still here or if they left. He came over, picked up the pitcher and a glass and said, "My friends left but my "boys" are still here !" All the guys cracked up and she was a good sport about it.

I had a pair 15 years ago. I think they are past their time - for me anyway. If someone likes them and wants to wear them, I am cool with that!

Not quite B&W, not color. Very different for VanGogh: poplar trees

That is what I thought. A VETERAN!

I will certainly keep that in mind. We will only be "on the beach" three days. I am driving down June 30 and driving home July 4th. Seeya soon for a plate.
