Sorry, off topic, but the thought made me chuckle: My wife’s parents were very “old country”. Other than a couple times on the golf course, and eventually in the hospital, I never saw her father not wearing a tie. English was her mother’s third language (after Arabic and French) and she spoke in a very formal way. It’s what she was taught in boarding school in Lebanon, not growing up in the Bronx. Very different. We moved to Sarasota, FL in 1993, known for Siesta Key beach. Naturally, we wanted to take my MIL to all the great things in town when she came to visit. The opera house was great, but I had to tap the brakes when the wife wanted to show her the beach. Her dad was always in a tie, and her mom was ALWAYS in high heels. I asked my wife how she saw that going, and we just cruised thru the parking lot. That girl is going to sink into the grass, but there will be no shortage of people eager to help her up. .

I’ve always wanted to work in landscape management. I would give her footwear a one time exemption.

Not an electric mower, but we had a self propelled mulching mower when I was a teenager. I was racing the kid across the street to get our lawns mowed before we could go somewhere. I finished first and mowed his name in his front yard. The mulching mower worked. His name grew in greener and seemed to grow faster. His father made me come back and mow the whole front yard so it didn’t look so stupid. Oops! EDIT: I think my sister still has that thing and uses it in the short Wisconsin summers. That’s back when things were built to last. .

Let’s see if we DO get over the hump first. Then if we do NOT get over the hump, we can analyze why. A lot of people here have the solution already when we don’t even know if we have a problem.

Would you rather have paid more for better? How about everyone else in your section?

My son has/had an electric mower. He got a little more than a year ago. When it died recently, he paid someone to come out and tell him they are basically disposable now, like TV’s. It’s quite possible he got a cheapo model (that would fit his style) but I suggest you look into reviews about durability. Not trying to discourage, just offering a bit of experience. Good luck! EDIT: He says the guy who came to look at it said water had apparently gotten into it, which is apparently a common issue. Worth knowing if it’s easily avoided. He kept it in the garage and never used water on it. 🤷‍♂️ .

Technically, he did play at Mississippi State on 11/23/17, and he did not score a TD. He had one catch for 5 yards. Clearly I have too much time on my hands.

The seats would look bigger if we saw Dalton Kincaid sitting in one.

Just imagine being so rich….. Crazy, I know. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/derek-carr-gives-up-30-million-to-retire It’s his life, and I’m glad he’s living it the way he wants. I hope he’s happy.

ABSOLUTELY! The poor guy never had a chance behind that line. It’s hard to come back from that kind of beating without flinching, but I looked and he still got about 10 years in the league and about $40mil. Good for them. Interesting tidbit speaking of brothers, did you know Reid Ferguson’s brother is/was the LS for Miami?

He had better have something very nice for Mom tomorrow. Good for him lasting as long as he did. His brother set a record for sacks early on and we’ll never know what he might have been. I think David made $40 Mil, which is still a lot of money for some people. 🤣 Very different times and different careers. .

That sounds like his unreasonable way of seeing things. I’m glad he’s not my father. My kid was never valedictorian, but I’m still very proud of all he’s accomplished.

He seems deliberately obtuse here, and it’s getting old.

Did you miss the part about 10th most in yards? How about the torn PCL? Is there anything that pleases you?

I believe I heard today that he is the highest paid public employee in the state at $10 Mil. It’s hard to call him a loser in all of this. .
