    Any tv repair experts?

    Me either, Pam! It stinks, don't it. LOL John is on the web looking for or reading the service manual for this monstrosity. If nothing else, it will keep him occupied for the next few days. :lau Cassandra

    Any tv repair experts?

    We just got a TV on freecycle. It's a 4 year old rear projection model and the sound works, but the video is out. John has been wanting one of these really really bad. It's not something we'd spend two thousand dollars for (the suggested retail price.) But it we could fix this one for ... oh, I...

    Spelling and grammar

    I am afraid you are all mistaken! It's "Ain't got none." Ain't it? :D I am with 2dream on this one. The point of communication is that people be able to understand each other, not to all talk the same. I also mentioned before (I think at BYC) that I am a professional proofreader for...

    Scary creature in my garage!!

    Very interesting. Maybe it wasn't dead, but only mortally injured. Could have crawled off and died somewhere else. :lol: I don't know if rats will eat rats or not. That was sort of twisted karma if rat #2 got killed in a trap after eating rat #1. Seems unusual that it could be able to...

    Paying it forward - Someone plowed my driveway?!

    How do you make husbands grow up? (no offense to already grown up ones

    Don't forget to look under the cushions and in the creases of the furniture, too. A favorite sock storing compartment of boys in my experience. LOL Cassandra

    Yee haw. Y'all check out my $12 greenhouse. :)

    Could I use hay for chicken litter? Or just throw it down in their run to scratch around in? Seems like I have read that it has a tendency to mold, I could be wrong. Or what about use it in the hay for spring chicks? It doesn't hurt them, does it? Seems like I ought to be able to find a place...

    Yee haw. Y'all check out my $12 greenhouse. :)

    Noted! I will see what I can find. I have not yet been able to find a local supplier of straw (isn't that weird?) I can find hay easy, but never straw. I will look. Cassandra

    New Countryside is Here!!!

    I sort of feel like I got in trouble with them. I filled out the thing on their website for a free sample issue, which they sent. Then I got a bill in the mail. And I got the second issue a couple of days later. So, now, I'm like OH SHOOT I guess I have to send them some money! If I were...

    Yee haw. Y'all check out my $12 greenhouse. :)

    I have thought of that! I even have some wood and a broken storm door with two pieces of glass in it I could use as tops for cold frames. John doesn't like me messing with his power tools, tho. (long story) That proved to be quite an obstacle. LOL I haven't given up on the idea, though. One of...

    Yee haw. Y'all check out my $12 greenhouse. :)

    Well, last week, we had snow (a rare event.) This week, it's back up into the 70's during the day, 50's at night. I could always put in some bottles of hot water and throw a blanket on top if it acted like it was going to freeze, don't you think? (that was my plan, anyway) Cassandra

    What type heating do you have?

    I have an electric central heating and cooling unit. I think when my bosses are doing appraisals, they refer to that is CAC/FWA (central air conditioning/force warmed air.) It is extremely typical of what we have here in MS. Any other type of heating would be considered either archaic or exotic...

    Yee haw. Y'all check out my $12 greenhouse. :)

    Oh yeah. I totally did it. Y'all thought I was kidding when I said I was going to plant some winter greens, dintcha? Well, I done gone & did it. Oh, if you see any huge mistakes (that can actually be corrected at this point and will save my crops) you can point them out. (If it won't help, or...

    How do you make husbands grow up? (no offense to already grown up ones

    Hm... my short answer to that is, "Well, if you don't want to be nagged at about stuffing your socks under the sofa, then stop stuffing your socks under the sofa." (especially if I'm going to have to listen to you stomping and cussing around the house on Monday morning because you don't have...
