Well I planted watermelon's in the same pot a while ago. then transplanted the sprout's, then I left my friend to watch over the flower's that I replanted in there later but sadly he let them die...could it be possible that some watermelon's have actually sprouted after all this time??? O.o

to handyman-i just leave the pots outside; we have fairly mild winters. to hostafreak: yes i am at a premium for land because i am in a townhouse complex with a small patch of space, but i use every available sq. inch lol. i envy those who can actually plan these huge gardens; i could only dream... property is a fortune up here.

Jessaka, I miss city shopping a little bit, but the longer I live here, the less I miss it. If I am having mall withdrawal, we just go to Lewisville or Grapevine and visit their malls and bookstores. I bet I don't go to a mall a total of 4 times a year now. When I lived in Fort Worth, I used to go to the mall all the time. To a certain extent, I couldn't help myself. There was a major mall halfway between my employer and my house, so it was just so simple to stop at the mall on the way home. Kim, I grew up in Fort Worth, so my middle name ought to be "beef" and, next to chocolate and tomatoes, beef is my food of choice. If I had to choose only one of them, from a survival standpoint, I'd choose beef. My son is the same way, but from a health standpoint, they are trying to cook healthier at his fire station, so these days he is learning lots of fish, chicken, pork and seafood recipes. I've noticed, though, that when they are celebrating a special occasion at the station, they have beef. When it is a really special occasion, he drives from out house in Marietta to Muenster, TX, to the Fischer Meat Market at the grocery store there to get locally-raised beef that is simply out of this world. It is very good quality beef, and the beef you get someplace like Wal-Mart doesn't even compare. (I got him addicted to real, high-quality beef, for which I will not apologize.) Of all the places for them to want to change the name from Turkey to Tofurkey. West Texas! Clearly they were wanting to be provocative and draw attention to themselves. I had Tofurkey once, and that was one time too many. Ditto on growing the produce yourself instead of having to search high and low for good produce worth eating within a reasonable driving distance.

Sawzall is Milwaukee Tools trademarked name for that particular category of tool although the name has been pretty much synonymous, much like Kleenex is for facial tissue. A reciprocating saw is kind of a specialized tool, most often used for demolition and "old work" type projects where materials need to be hacked away without a lot of precision. With that said, you mentioned voltage so I'm going to assume you want a cordless tool. Generally speaking and all things equal, more voltage means more power and longer working time between recharges. The biggest concern I have with cordless tools, especially for occasional use is that inevitably the battery is dead when you need to use it. It would be great if you could find a saw that uses the same battery that one of his existing tools uses. That way it's more likely to be charged when he needs to use the saw. In any case, make sure the saw has two batteries so that one can be in the charger while the other is in use. Unless your husband is planning on regular use, has a compelling reason for a cordless tool, and/or has another tool that could use the same battery, I think he would be best served with a corded model.
