Don't read this, I'm just whining about a pet peeve

16 years ago

Ok, sorry in advance if I offend someone or if you do this but this bugs me.

Someone posts a question, something like:

Those of you who own or have ever owned a widget, please tell me what you like and don't like about widgets, or what brand widget is best and why.

So someone else comes along and posts:

I've never owned a widget and never will. So sorry, I can't give you any opinion.

Ok, so... if you don't have anything to say, why did you post? Why not just skip that thread and move on to one where you actually have something of interest to add or ask?

Ok, sorry, enough griping, now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Regrets / pet peeves about your tractor purchase ?
Q
Comments (14)
The OP is correct regarding tractor enthusiasts. Forums like this are a great tool in learning how things work in the real world. There are good dealers in the world that won't just encourage you to by a certain tractor or deck because it is the one he has in stock. It would be naive to think you can always count on the local dealer being that guy. Larger decks are the ones that knock a lot of grass down at once, but many times have their limitations. Sometimes it is best to step up and get a commercial unit if that is main objective and budget allows. I have 2 customers w/ Cub Cadet 50" decks that bag. 1 loves the way it bags , the other can't stand theirs. So I guess people's opinions are really just that. I used to sell Toro tractors in another life. The 48 did fine. Liked the 52" recycler better than just about anything for a large, good cutting tractor deck- either recycling or discharging. Unusual for a 3 blade to do everything well. The 44" 3 blade was an example of a deck that had lots more QOC issues. In my opinion, the blades and cutting chamber were too small to recycle effectively. You couldn't easily go from one mode to the other easily either.

September Conversation Thread: Your Pet Peeve
Q
Comments (42)
I keep a lot of notes. I started out just putting everything into one big document but it made it so big and disorganized that I finally just started keeping separate ones. Just named them simply, "Gourds", "Garlic", "Tomatoes", "Peppers", etc so I can find them quickly. I never print them out cause then I lose them! Or they get wet and the ink runs. I have found that some things grow better in containers, some grow better at ground level and some grow better in raised beds. And all that probably depends on the type of soil a person has. Mine is black gumbo clay. Beth, I'm proud of you for having the resolve to get off government assistance. I deplore the way the program is run. I would so love to see them add classes for the people on their programs. Many of them don't even know how to cook so they're spending those food stamps on expensive convenience foods instead of, say, buying a whole chicken. I get three good meals out of one whole chicken. When I'm done with it, there's nothing left but some soft bones and a little limp skin, which I bury out in the garden and then put something on top of it so the dog can't dig it up. But anyway, education is the key, to my mind, and you are wise to be trying to learn to garden. Even if a person can only grow something in a pot, they gain knowledge from the experience. There was a man selling corn out of his truck in a parking lot near here over the weekend. He was getting $7 a dozen for his ears of corn and they weren't real big. And he had a few black diamond watermelon but he wouldn't sell them because he said the ones he had sold had come back because they weren't ripe yet. He was selling them for $10 each. He'll probably be back next weekend with ripe ones, if all this rain doesn't split and ruin them all. Think of all the corn you could grow for $7, and all the watermelon you could grow for $10. Even if the rain did split the melons, if you got out there right away, brught them in and processed them, you'd still get good value. You can save seed from grocery store vegetables. Sometimes they'll be hybrids so they won't grow exactly like what you bought, but they'll grow something. I've gotten some wonderful cantaloupe by having the seed in the compost bin germinate. And I planted grocery store Arkansas tomatoes this year. They made beautiful round tomatoes but the flavor wasn't nearly as good as George's Baker Family Heirlooms. Sometimes I check out the marked down produce just for the seed that I might get. Last year I grew spaghetti squash from the seed of a grocery store purchase.

Pet Peeve...Plumie Stalkers!!!
Q
Comments (37)
Andrew, Yes the neighbors moved as hell have no fury like a scored/pissed plumieholic. After the plumie tossing incident and report to the city about an illegal nursery, the neighbors decided they were going to build a patio structure. Well you better believe that she was watching and noticed there were no permits. Once the neighbor completed the patio maybe a week or 2 later, as to let them enjoy it so they would know what they were missing, she called the city and reported the illegal structure. You better believe the city came and knocked on his door. The neighbor got fined/cited and had to tear down the illegal structure. I believe that is when the neighbors had enough and put their house up for sale, supposedly it sold in a matter of weeks. The neighbor was a retired Highway Patrol officer or cop (cant remember). This was years ago and told her at the time she better watch her back, law enforcement can be worse than the criminals as they have the power. Even after they moved I was told she kept getting reported. I know though she stopped selling on Ebay and MPG, and only sells on her FB Page. Well I received a 911 call from my property manager today, she told me she was out in the front shaking out her front door mat when this guy random scary looking guy opened the gate and just walked on the property aka trespassing even though there are 2 very blatant signs that states "Private Property No Trespassing Or Soliciting, Plants are not for sale!!!!" The Prop Mgr said she informed him he was trespassing and he needed to leave. I was told she was very scared and he just ignored her and kept on looking, then he asked about the plumerias asking if cuttings were available. The prop mgr yelled at him again and said she was going to call the police, then he walked away to the sidewalk and kept staring at the plants. I was told she pulled her cell phone out to dial 911 and told him he was on Cam being recorded and pointed to the camera, then he went to his car and drove off. The prop Mgr was pissed at me stating if the plumies were not there people would not be trespassing and bothering her. So again is it the plumerias at fault or the rude, selfish idiots that do not give a s#i%. Here is the sign that is posted on the first panel of Wrought Iron at the beginning of the drive way: This is whats on the closed gate, there is a kingdom hall that trespasses all the time so I had to include them lol: Who much more clearer or ruder must the signs be? I am in the process of getting a new taller gate that only opens by key or combo. Because of someone being rude I had to rush down to the South Bay and call wrought Iron people and now spend money for a new gate all because someones too cheap to use their money to just buy plumies on their own.

More pet peeves...
Q
Comments (82)
Actually I'm kind of feeling bad. The whole toilet bowl idea may be someone elses pride. Even if a whimsical joke. And Im wondering if I could say what I'm typing to that persons face personally. And not feel the hurt I might cause. But I did get a good laugh : ) To add constructively to the thread one pet peeve of mine? Neighbors or homeowners in a community hiring Landscapers to do renovations requiring the disposal of old shrubs and perennials. Seeing them chainsawd and chipped, buried by heavy machinery. I mean that is horrible. I never looked at it that way until I started the process of donating a Japanese Garden to a local community business. Here I am wondering why the rootstock cant be shared by community members who are financially unable to afford such plants. Here I am wondering how Im going to pull this off with no money of mine to spare. So I must resort to finding recycled plants. For the first time in my life. Ive always spent other people money. Now I have to come up with ideas so as not to loose face and make the Japanese Garden a reality. I wont accept a penny more from the place Im building it. The whole idea is about community service. Giving something that is a passion for free. I have a passion so its easy. The rest is patience. I hate evil plant killers :) Let youre fellow citizens have a chance to adopt a plant before you send it to a tragic death.... People!!! Especially at the hand of Monster Landscape Contractors who arent even willing to keep the plant for themselves to use on another project.Sometimes the completion date requires dispossal of ornamentals not in the design rather than re salvaging. Maybe the local town Gardening Committee will use those ornamentals. Making the town plan of beautification financially feasible. Ive never heard of such a thing but sounds like a good idea. So many homes are stripped of old growth ornamentals that have overgrown the original space. To be lost forever. I sometimes to the embarrassment of myself will stop at such a job and ask for all the root stock still alive.. Many trades men will look at me askance. Like Im crazy and should know better than to ask such a question. Giving that tough guy attitude. Like get the hell off of my job you jackass. I can see it in their eyes. And in truth I hate that feeling. Its hard for me to swallow. I must look like an amatuer doing such things. So in reality I'm doing this rarely. Driving my dump truck to the sites who are kinder. I might get something. Knowing one particular customer of mine who is low on money would appreciate these plants. Giving that customer back for the opportunity they provided earlier. To work on their property when they had money to spend. Maybe sounds old fashioned but I like my customers to be happy. I want them to have dreams fulfilled just as I want mine. Business sometimes corrupts that process of brotherhood. No one could put the value of driving onto a customers property with a huge Rhody salvaged from being destroyed. Its a priceless moment. And what did it cost me. Maybe 20 dollars in gas. A few hours labor. But what I get in return is priceless. Compassion from the person Im thinking about. We see eachother as equalls. Something money can not buy. And when you get used to this way of thinking you never expect anything in return. The whole idea was just do it. Its the right thing to do. For no real reason but it just feels right. I dont need books to know this. Its the same act as when a baby hands over the food for you to take a bite. Isnt it awesome to see a young child offer food that was almost going into the mouth hesitate. Then look at you and put the food in youre mouth intead! Its human nature to share. Sometimes I think how cruel it must be to see ornamentals a neighbor could never afford but truly desire and watch that tree discarded like trash. The owner of such ornamentals never asking fellow neighbors if they would like to have it. I guess most people believe in not sharing and rather see material things in the garbage before theyd ever concede to the principle of giving without hesitation. That was good. I feel better! Japanese Gardening has made me think differently. To give and help the community you are a member of is the goal. Finding every opportunity to make a community come together with little things. Not on the rare occasion. But on a daily bases. Its easy. I like what Im saying and will try harder to do so. This is what makes me feel like a boulder resisting the rivers current. Finding wieght in my doings. Even if the community is too complex to understand I feel rooted to living out one aspect of being a member. Feeling like you belong. Not just driving to the local store for groceries and back home. But stopping along that daily circle to do one small thing. No matter how little. Like someone you see going to the mailbox every morning while leaving for work. Saying to that person.. "Hey Ill have Peony roots by the end of the day. Only a few. Ill leave you some tomorrow morning." At least its a start. And after a few years you can see that act of giving grow into a smile on each others face every time you cross that persons path leaving for work in the morning. Nobody said this means becoming nosey or involved with strangers. Its just one simple way to say hello. Next time we see each other we can smile and wave hello instead of me driving by like a sardine in a car. Gardening is probably the easiest way for a community to come together. Every home has something to offer. Dont throw ornamentals away.

Happygram, I would definitely recommend honing the widget, especially if you want to minimize the etching! And like Sweeby mentioned, make sure you seal it every 6 months.

But Sweeby, if you seal the widget, will it stain if you spill red wine on it?

Too funny! Lowspark, thanks for starting this.

The Garbage Disposal Widget

Did you read the newspaper article about my widget getting stuck in the garbage disposal? I was frantic until Officers Tom and Mike came to help. They couldn't get it out but eventually helped me get to the 24-hour Widget doctor at 3am. Luckily my widget was released unharmed. But it cost me $1100 in emergency widget bills, follow-up care, new sink, new plumbing, new electrical wiring, and new garbage disposal, one with a cover.
I don't know what the moral of this story, but a bit of advice: be careful when you select your widget!
sherilynn

NYCwestsider, don't you think you should always tip someone doing you a service?

FWIW: My father has raised a family of six delivering widgets. I don't think you could possibly comprehend what our lives have been like living on a low hourly wage. My father depended heavily on those extra/above and beyond tips. He often raced from delivery point to delivery point to make sure that the widgets we delivered in lightening speed with hopes that the owner would compliment his permornce in any way.
. So, I just don't understand why some people think those people in less fortunate positions shoud work for free; or even think that they make enough on an hourly wage to make a real living.

Someone "like you" started flak like this at our last home and the company quit letting the drivers make a tip. That lone bit$$ cost my two youngest siblings from getting braces. Do you have any idea what we feel when we all get together at a family get holiday and have to see how our youngest siblings smile/look with assinine over-bites? Do YOU? It's sickening. It makes my skin crawl thinking about tight wads like you.

I just wish "SOME" people thought before they even considered not tipping someone performing a service for them.

That's all I have to say. It's my two cents, so don't bother dissin' me. I'm not the thread police. I'm just someone that doesn't mind tipping.

Snookums: Thanks for answering my burning question, but I'm still confused... Now that I bit the bullet and got the widget... where am I going to put it? It seems a bit large for the appliance garage... but I'm trying to turn over a new leaf and de-clutter my countertop.... And I'm not sure it will fit below my uppers...

Everyone, where do you keep the widget? Is it easily accessible? And how often do you really use it?

(I know I posted this before, but I lost the post, and it seems to have dropped off!)
mtnester

Snookums, glad you raised the issue of where to keep your widgets. As you know, the aim of a kitchen remodel is to keep the kitchen from LOOKING like a place where food preparation is done. Therefore, you must NOT keep your widgets (particularly the ones you use every day) out on the countertops, in plain sight. What if your best friend dropped by for a cuppa coffee and saw your most intimate, embarrassing widget lying about? Are you shameless? What if a crew from a shelter mag unexpectedly arrived for a photo-shoot and filmed the widget-clutter on the countertop? The kitchen must be kept pristine and sterile at all times! You need to invest in special cabinetry and gimmickry to hide your widgets. Spare no expense!

Can you believe how much more we know about widgets than the "experts"? Yesterday, when I asked my high-end appliance salesman about which widgets were best for quinkling, he told me they weren't approved for that use, and tried to steer me towards a widget that everyone knows is inferior, with a horrible repair record. When I quoted him the specs on the widget I wanted (which I got from the wonderful people on this board), he started to look nervous and called his supervisor to deal with me.

Then, this morning, I was telling my GC about how I wanted to mount my widget in a special pull-out so I could have easy access to it without it taking up my valuable counter real-estate (because god forbid I should actually have anything on my counters that could lead people to think I actually cook), he looked at me like I was crazy and said it couldn't be done.

Thank goodness for the wonderful people on this forum who have educated me about widgets so I could stand up to him and tell him exactly how it should be done. I don't know how I ever went so many years without a widget in my kitchen. It's a wonder my family hasn't shrivelled up and died.

Heck, I'm just a lurker still only dreaming of a wonderful kitchen someday and even I can't resist...

Does a widget fit into a FP drawer without being jammed? Will it tip over and end up full of water after the cycle ends?

Do widgets breed bacteria unless you use a special cleanser?

Will widgets crack right open if you put a hot pot or pan on them?

Is it worth the extra money to get high end widgets? Will a restaurant grade widget in my new kitchen boost resale value or are they just something people buy to show off?

(Answer to last question: get the high end widget if you are truly passionate about widgets. You will definitely regret it if you cheap out. Even though I had to have the floor reinforced and sell a kidney, I don't regret it for a second. Every time I come into the kitchen and see my gleaming professional quality widget it makes my heart sing.)

Help! My contractor just installed my widget and when I lie down on the floor, crane my neck 27 degrees, squint my left eye and use my flashlight I can definitely see that there is a cloudy area on my new widget! It's about one centimeter by a half inch and nobody but me can see it. But I know it's there and it is killing me every time I, well, lie down on the floor, crane my neck, etc...should I complain? Try to fix it myself? Get up off the floor????

grlwprls: Yes, you CAN be allergic to a clay widget. My sister just had to return over $400 worth of clay widgets. When they were exposed to water, they had not been sealed and mold, fungus, and mildew were starting to grow on them! She installed them in October '05, and has been mysteriously ill ever since. She recently noticed something 'black' on her hands when she handled the widget, knowing her hands had just been washed, she checked all of her widgets. Yep! There was mold growing on almost every one where they had not been glazed.

I was thinking if we had to suddenly sell, like due to divorce or some other unforseen event, we might not get top dollar. I think we should put another one in, but DH is upset about taking out a fourth mortgage. Should I get the new copper one with the photocell eye and the backup generator?

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a great deal on a sage green widget ($14.95 from homeclick!) and it just throws my entire color scheme off!! What color cabinets and counter top should I buy to go with my new sage green widget? Also, what color should the floors be? I was thinking that Ellen Kennon Camelhair would be a good wall color to offset the sage widget. Has anyone used this color? Is full spectrum paint really that much better? Should I use ORB fixtures or satin nickle? Is satin nickle out this week? Should I go with polished chrome? I also need to know what color cookware to buy to go with my new sage green widget. Also, I keep seeing people talking about NeverMT or something like that. What are those and do I need one? What colors do they come in? I saw on a cooking show some girl using a garbage bowl. Where do I get one of those? It looks like a regular old mixing bowl but I'm sure that williams-sonoma has an ultra deluxe bowl that is better suited to holding my vegetable peelings until I can dump them in the trash. Are hardwood floors ok for kitchens? I heard about this amish guy that handscrapes wood floors and that sounds like what I want. Will I hate my new sage green widget in a few years? Also, should I get a new job and have children?

Lowspark - I love your widget. You have such lovely taste, You really do.

However - just a tiny thought here (I have done a lot of decorating for my friends): Your widget placement bothers me. Could you possibly move your stove to the opposite wall? I'm thinking that the refrigerator which is currently there would look better closer to the sink anyway. Of course you'd have to remove the upper cabinet, but as you've said in another thread, the cab in your guest bath does need changing out. Then you could position your darling table against the empty wall. I'm wondering if the table should be pink, though. Could you repaint it? A cream paint with crackle-glaze would look lovely. Do you see where I'm going here? You could also repaint that wall - in a rich red, for contrast. Just thinking out loud here. Place the table against the wall, put your sweet widget on it, and that widget is going to pop! Then you wouldn't need so many hoo hoos, although I'd keep all the ding dongs. I don't suppose you'd change out your kitchen hardware to match the ORB of the widget, would you? Simply trying to be helpful (I am a decorator, of sorts).

My rabbi agrees that if a widget is glass, it can definitely be kashered for Passover.

But - not trying to be irritating - if the widget has plastic, it's never going to be kosher and also, it was made by DuPont, and we all know about them.
