How Often Do You Change Your Lawn Mower Blade?
Comments (7)Well, on my 1983 Snapper Hi-vac RER, i finally decided the blade needed changing. now, i always sharpened it every spring, so i decided after that long, an investment in a new blade would be proper. So, for around $20, i bought a new blade and installed it, with the up-lift wings, as on the old one! Wow, i thought--I'd cut the grass now, instead of snatching it off with that old blade! First time out, the blade smacked the edge of the housing and bent the edge up. Fixed that. Again, bent it somewhere else! fixed it, and fixed and fixed--ad infinitum. Finally got so disgusted, i hunted up the old blade, reinstalled it, and all is well again! I can't really complain, as the dealer friend gave me the new blade! (I have given him numerous Toro parts mowers, and other makes, so it was a sorta trade-off!) And, yes, i don't believe in buying something new, if i can keep an old one running!) Aww, it would be nice to have a big new green machine setting out front, but--i'd probably be tempted to put a for sale sign on it,. and go back to my old Snapper!...See MoreIncredibly OT: How often do you wash your linens?
Comments (16)Well, this is a strange topic for any forum so why am I compelled to answer? Will I regret it? I change the sheets every Saturday when the family are home to help. When the kids were little, I told them that they needed a ticket to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. The ticket was their sheets and towels and laundry baskets. And the TV didn't go on til EVERYONE had brought their stuff downstairs. Lots of peer pressure going on but good habits were instilled, so I thought. They left my home with those good laundry habits. Pride goeth before a fall, however. I had the exact same experience as others have posted. Dropping our older son at college, weeping profusely, I made his dorm bed with the brand-new sheets I had so carefully chosen. Oh, the agony of parting. When we picked him up in May at the end of the school year, he informed me that not only had he never made his bed since I had in September, he had never washed the sheets even once. Gag....See MoreHow often do you/have you revamped your beds?
Comments (21)-Sararock, Lol! I'm always calling myself a slacker when it comes to weeding and doing things I don't like in the garden! But moving plants is kind of fun so I don't mind doing that ;-) Technically, fall and spring are the best times to move things around. The cooler and usually wetter conditions make it easier for the plant to recover and re-establish itself than if it were moved in the full heat of summer. But I've never been one to follow rules ;-) It was last summer that I became fully annoyed with how the garden was looking, so decided to get things moved around right then and there! Of course, it was hot out and after I moved everything they started to wilt terribly and look as if they were on the brink of croaking. I was left scrambling to keep everything hydrated and even got out a big beach umbrella to shade a few plants, lol. But it felt good to get it all accomplished and everything came back nicely this spring. CMK...See MoreHow often do you clean out/change purses?
Comments (31)When I graduated from high school in '65, my mother's friend gave me a clutch type wallet as a graduation gift, and somehow, very quickly, that evolved into my purse, and I have just carried a wallet like that ever since. I carry the same one for years...until it literally falls apart. Right now, the zipper on the zippered coin compartment is broken, so when I am out and I get change, I carry it in my pocket, or put it in the console of my truck. My truck is my purse. I keep receipts in my wallet and about once a month, take them out and put them away. I save a lot of my change, and keep it in a jar in one of my cupboards. Once a month, I empty the jar and put it away. I try to make sure I save a little more each month than I did the previous one. I've tried carrying a purse a couple of times since I switched to the wallet and it seems so heavy and kills my shoulders. Hairbrush and anything I think I will need....I keep in my truck....See Morerockybird
