OMG! I was going to use my coke rewards points to get decks of playing cards for my inlaws for christmas, but the coupons is only good for a single deck. The card game they play takes 4 decks. I was going to get one made with minisnick, my neice, my nephew, then a group shot of the 3. But to buy the other 3 decks it will be $60. No way, not just for a deck of cards. Thats just crazy talk.

It sounds like you're atlking about a total of 4 decks of cards with personal images on the back. If that's the case then $20/deck with a photo image that you provide doesn't sound too bad to me. Of course I haven't researched what it costs for a custom deck of playing cards.

I try to clean the clippings out of the blade once a year.

I hose off the underside and clean away caked up grass after every mow.

I don't think mrsnick uses it but our john deer has a hose attachment built into the blade cover thing to wash the blades.

just out of curiocity how big was the security deposit?

$1500. It's enough to piss me off, but not enough to break the bank.

Not sure how long I've owned my mower. I think it's pushing 5-6 years now, but I bought it at Sears for $150. I've sharpened the blades once. Never touched the oil or sparkplug. It's been parked outside for the last 2.5 years (under the deck). Despite all of this, I can still get it to start on the 2nd or 3rd pull everytime.

My weedeater, on the other hand, is a bastard. The MIL gave it to me for Christmas a few years back and I think the gas is giving it issues. Whether it's the ethanol or the lack of use (I use it 3 times per year... maybe), I have to baby the throttle for it to not die. Maybe I'll tear it down this winter.

I just gave mine away. I had it for over 10 years and would only use 2-3 times a year max. It was always a royal PITA to start. I have yet to get a erplaceemnt but I going with electric AC or battery.

We have both a corded and a cordless trimmer. I wouldn't ever mess with a gas one because the one my mom bought in the nineties was a royal PITA.

If it can't be chopped down by the mower, it gets to live.

If I followed these rules, it would look like I was a hay farmer along the backyard fences (at least at the old house)...

 

[Supe]

I have an aluminum fence (wrought iron look alike), so that things a bitch to trim, but needs to get done. The only problem I had with my Husqvarna gas trimmer was that the pull cord got stuck. 6 security head screws later, I was back in business. My father on the other hand has a $400 Echo trimmer that crapped out and won't start. He's giving it to me for free, so I'll fix it and either keep it or sell it. When it was working, that thing was a BEAST.

AAAHHHH...driving home last night on the interstate I see something on my lap out of the corner of my eye...there was quarter sized black spider walking across my lap. Trying to brush him of my leg and driving at the same time was loads of fun...people probably thought I was nuts.

We found a three inch caterpillar in the living room this morning. I thought it was a crawling crayon at first. How does something that big get in the house?!

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

You're 5'-something and you get in the house. How tough could it be for a caterpillar?

 

[snickerd3]

Dang, another spider in the car this morning, not nearly as big as the other one but still a spider someplace it doesn't belong.

 

[csb]

I'm hoping it can't open doors...

And another thing...why am I the only capable of calling the printer support number? Do men lack the ability to call about office equipment?

Now you know that's a woman's job.

yep

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Guys don't call the service number because we think we can fix it on our own. If it says it needs service, we're either taking a break from working on it or we just haven't gotten to it yet.
