Comments (14)Just a note to Soccor_dad. We bought the Craftsman Commercial walk behind as you suggested. It was nice and shiny as it came off of the truck. The first 10 minutes or so were "harrowing" to say the least. After about 10 minutes I started to get the hang of it. My wife HATED IT the first time she used it. The second time, she liked it better, but as the reviews said, the handles are stuff and require a bit of muscle. She did the lawn while I was at work, and loved the fact that the the job took half the time, 90 minutes down to 40 minutes, but those darn handles bruised her hand. I suggested that she try gloves one time before we returned it, and that seemed to do the trick. Now she likes it, I like it, and it really was the perfect solution for us. Thanks for the suggestion.

Comments (20)These may have seemed harder, but you guys are actually doing pretty well. And without any clues! The only one nobody's mentioned yet is the second half of #3. Yes, Kerry, one point for genus and one for species, I hadn't figured cv. names into the equation. Perhaps I should have had a 3 point system, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with any of these. Keeping score has gotten a bit harder now with all of the changes and multiple answers, but I'll do my best. Japie, are you sure it's #2 you want to change? So far that's about the only one that everybody seems to agree on! I have a feeling your answer was meant for #4, as a couple of the others had. Assuming that to be the case, your current score is 14, otherwise it drops to 10. It's not always wise to go with the majority. ;-) Kerry has moved into the lead with 16.... or 15, depending on how I score #8. Glad you caught the boat, Yong, you have 13 points. Andrew, you changed a couple of your answers mid-post. If I count everything mentioned you get 12 points, but if I go with your final answers, it's 11. BTW, your suspicions are correct. ;-) So, I'll let you math/logic wizards figure it all out while I sleep, and I'll give the full list in the morning. In the meantime, for #3..... think small....See MoreYet another facebook question.
Comments (18)Do what I did, register under a fake name but tell your friends and family who you are and make a fake birthday etc. I used my real first name so they'd know it's me and, even then, my daughter (who knew I was going to do this) asks me if I know Sheila ______ who is asking to be her friend. hahahaha when I reminded her she roared. I get no requests now. The upshot of doing this was I got 23 happy birthday posts on April 1st which is not my birthday. I thought they'd catch my joke with that date. NOT....See MoreEncounter at the supermarket today
Comments (45)When he goes shopping, DH always asks for "paper in plastic". The brown paper bag goes inside with the plastic outside so the handles can be used. Very sturdy, gets everything out to the car safely. We've never had to pay for these bags, and we do recycle them. The plastic ones line our wastebaskets. And the brown ones are good for when I scoop the cat box and for newspapers. I realize the stores do buy these bags, but I figure they give them to customers as "good will". I remember one Sunday, I had walked to a card store for a Sunday Newspaper and it was snowing. I ducked in a nearby grocery and took a free plastic bag to keep my paper dry. See, Good Will? By the way, I think it's awful when anyone is nasty to another person. We all should just be kind to each other....See More- 12 years ago
