Title: look
Post by: Amanda_931 on January 29, 2006, 11:29:35 AM
I've never noticed Gizmag before--it looks amazing providing hours of pleasant surfing!  They're big on motorcycles, have an article on that violently expensive sphere house we've seen before, the new lithium ion battery powered Subaru.

I've got to get out of here--heading to Paris (Tennessee).  But they have an eiffel tower!

Here are some pictures of a tree-house company.

I'm with Daddymem on this one---- what fun is a wimpy snowblower when you could have one that can throw the neighbors mailbox clear across the street. :)

Across the street?  My ultimate goal is to dump a pile on this guy in Cali, I hope he's in his hot tub ;)

Would you like me to set up my webcam so you can monitor activity there - it's about the only way you could get an accurate range reading -

meh...as those famous last words go "Wimin...can't live with them....pass the beer nuts."
PS my tongue was firmly placed in my cheek so her foot won't be firmly placed in my rear.... ;)

You have my curiosity up now Daddymem.  Was the rest of that old saying really "you can't live with them", instead of "pass the beer nuts"? :-/

Let's leave religion out of this.  I always hate it when she starts quoting scripture to me. :-/

There you go, Daddymem.  I think you owe me - she's being nice to you-- I think she looked at me and started counting her blessings. :-/

Wimmen-----I knew it --they're so smart they always work all the angles.  Daddymem would sell his soul for a bowl of Beer Nuts and a six pack. :-/

Well, not beer nuts and a six pack...this (http://www.callieskustoms.com/CalliesKustoms-Mower.html) perhaps.

I'd try for a set of stilts too--- those blades are bound to be moving if they ever come apart. :-/

wait...isn't the actual mowing of the lawn sassy's job?  ;)

Post by: glenn kangiser on February 10, 2006, 09:54:02 AM
Daddymem - you keep bringing up subjects that I don't remember posting anything about -- this is a  bit spooky ---do you know me that well??    :-/

I told her if she wanted a yard she would have to keep it up or I'd pave it.   :)

In my favor -- I suggested a non-maintenance yard - cactus - rocks etc.  Put down the rocks, ladies -- don't throw them at me please.  ::)

I'm at work right now so have to sign on as a guest...  it's true... now you all know the real truth...  actually he told me he would just pave it so I wouldn't have to mow it anymore...  :'(  he's such a hard taskmaster  :-/  

And Daddymem, I think you are trying to think of more jobs for me to do... and you don't realize I ALREADY do them   ;)

What would you men do without us???  Better not ask that question. :o

Don't I know how my house is kept up.  All I do is bring money home, Mommymem keeps us afloat.  Heck, my hours are so long she does the mowing too.  Well, we have a reel mower and she says it gives her good exercise anyways.

I hate Grass!

If it was upto me I would love to have 4 acres of pavement outside the house.

You're scaring me , Peter. ;D

Are we related?

Actually I like natural landscaping but the kind you don't have to mow- rocks - cactus - brown grass--- ;D

I tie my sheep out and he eats the green grass especially down hill- fire control around here.

I'm about half with you.  I hate grass (^&*% noxious weed), but it if were up to me all we'd have is patio, paths, and garden, with some bark mulch or that recycled tire stuff under the swingset. ...  Except that then I'd have no place to play fetch with the dog, so I guess it has some uses.

Oh well, my fantasy is next house, I'll buy myself a goat.  (And some truly studly fencing to keep her away from my roses.)
