    You've got to be kidding...

    Yup, I can see that. There's another law that I'm not allowed to have a fence within 75 feet of the corner. Supposedly to keep the view of the cross streets safe. But you should see how many of the corners aren't visible because of bushes. :eh:

    You've got to be kidding...

    :banana: Sweet. I feel much better now. You should see how beautiful my blue spruce looks right now with the fresh snow on it. I was thinking about taking it down because it cuts the view of my house in half. But I don't think I have the heart.

    You've got to be kidding...

    "Living screens" are really popular around here. I have a row of 10 really tall and thin evergreen shrubs in my backyard that were placed between my backyard and the neighbor's driveway. One side of my property has no fence at all, it's on the corner, but there's no way you could get/see...

    You've got to be kidding...

    Believe it or not, there is a law in my town that whoever puts the fence up has the crappy side facing IN. Which is stupid, right? They're paying for it, why should the cross slats be inside? It was explained that it's due to safety. Because those cross sections can be used to scale the...

    You've got to be kidding...

    Fox news could be spinning the story just as much as the radio piece. I did a search for a more detailed article, none of them mention anything other than redwoods and all of them say the redwoods preceeded the panels. I have a neighbor situation myself. There's only one neighbor that hasn't...

    Forced Volenteering!

    That's how my first serious HS boyfriend got into his career. He volunteered at the local ambulance corps. And I joined because of him. And my friend Kim joined because of me. And so on. I think it's a great idea.

    Where did you get that information? The article says:

    You've got to be kidding...

    This guy spent 70k on these panels. Do you think you MIGHT want to take a look around you and evaluate what will happen to your sun in 5-10 years, when you are making that big of an investment? Redwood has a very fast growth rate and they are not hard to identify in the landscape. Either this...

    I hope this

    Does it mean anything to you that it was supposedly to avoid the danger of it crashing to earth, rather than just a test? The fanfare will come later when someone else does the same and points to us and says they did it too!

    Interesting and salient point...

    Granted, I didn't hear this bit of dialogue for myself so I can't just take the authors word for it that he was showing that much disdain for his previous job. If it were reversed and he became a mechanic and said he'd never go back to modeling with such alleged disgust, would you feel the same...

    I thought that's what we were doing. You and the other grumpy old men can have the RW. :P

    i rock at losing weight!

    This was absolutely the best part. To walk into a store that I could never have shopped in before, and have a fighting chance of finding something that fit! Bravo to all of you trying and succeeding at controlling your weight! I have a gym in my work building and do some bicep/tricep...

    i rock at losing weight!

    Thanks for bumping this! Ash, you look great! I can't believe that difference is only 13 pounds, it looks like at least 20. Great job. I lost about 35-40 pounds for the wedding so I know it's really not easy. Like you, I didn't starve myself but made complete life changes. I allowed...

    Can I make another selfish request?

    Hi Em! It sounds like you're on the right path and you should be proud of what you've accomplished so far. You look much better!

    Guess the Movie

    I didn't want to see it because the older I get, the less I care about teen movies. But I kept hearing about it and we ordered it. I was pleasantly surprised, it was quite funny. You need to be in the mood for a bunch of potty humor though.

    While trying to ID a tree, Poison Sumac was suggested.

    I have a Holly tree in the back too that thankfully doesn't have any fruit. At first, I was thinking of getting a couple of other holly bushes so it could be cross pollinated but then I remembered that it hangs over my deck. Until we rip it up and replace it with a patio, I don't think I want...

    Guess the Movie

    Well, yeah. Isn't that the name of the game?? Besides, there were a lot of penii in that movie. A LOT of penii.

    While trying to ID a tree, Poison Sumac was suggested.

    Btw, you were right. It's a Black Cherry tree. The flowers aren't the prettiest in spring, but it does bear fruit during the summer and there are two really beautiful butterflies that prefer to nest in it - who knows, they might already be in there. :D We moved in in November, so we didn't...
