    Yeah the resistant to roundup thing is why I use a company that has a year no-grow back warranty. It becomes their problem. Also my wife said today she saw something green in the yard this morning and was calling them if it gets worse. I do so love that woman.

    that's sort of a generic term for the type of plants not a specific plant. At least according to wikipedia. I just know they are a PITA. I have 3-4 on my fence line now. I had the yard sprayed to kill vegetation so I don't have to worry about them taking root.

    @lurkingdirk so imagine before they all died and blew on top of each other, those were a lush green but thorny. I do not know what they are called but that is exactly the bush I was trying (poorly) to describe.

    My 1st full year here I had zero experience and everything was 2 years dead anyway so I did nothing yard wise. We were also trying to get the house renovated as I bought this place from Freddie Mack as-is. Anyhow we started getting all these weird bugs outside and I found out they thrived in...

    My next door neighbor just had theirs removed or I would take a pic. I don't know what it's called but it's a bush that gets GIGANTIC and thick with needles like rose bushes, and live 2-3 years then die and become tumbleweeds. Also in the spring we typically get some rain and everything...

    no biggie. Whomever I originally replied to said AZ. Ironically the place had lush grass in the back, a whole garden , bushes, multiple bushes, and a lot of trees. Then it sat empty for 2 years and everything died. I spent as much getting that dead shit out and I did putting the stone in.

    No maintenance and my worsening back. I had 2 lawnmowers and 2 weed wackers when we left the south and moved to NV. I gave them all away to our moving guys as I was done with fucking with a yard. Also here in the middle of the mojave desert, it's harder to GROW that leave native. I only spray to...

    no HOA no subdivision, I am on an acre and a half of decorative stone. Once a year I pay a company to spray weed killer on the entire property with a year bond if anything grows back and it's worth every cent.

    I read 'the stand' while I had a mild flu case and it fucked with me. We didn't know any better at the time but my mother had a 1st edition of that book. Of course it's gone now but still 'it' scared the ever living fuck out of me to the point where I was scared to open doors afraid of a red...

    Finished 'Holly' last night. Reading it through I thought it was a rehash but it's King and they all roll together & it's at least easy reading. Then at the end King has author notes basically stating that it's a rehash of a story 'if it bleeds' redone to reflect COVID. There are pages and...

    Well another D+ show that makes zero sense , guess it's hate watch time again. Wasn't this episode supposed to be so 'important' that they wanted to show it on big screens? So wtf did I just watch? Me and the wife discussed if we want to renew D+ and both were a firm no.

    I have one of their wireless keyboards. Solid build, aluminum slab full keyboard. Like it but charging was PITA. Sometimes it would say it was fully charged then drop to 60% the instant you unplugged it, or if you swapped cables enough it would stay charged for an hour and drop. Got tired of...

    I recommend you don't , it's pretty sad and dysfunctional/blamey. I'll probably take another run at it one day. It just didn't 'click' for whatever reason. Hell it took me 3-4 tries to get into Breaking Bad , so that should give you some idea of how stupid I am! LOL

    This is me 100%. I'm in the middle of treatment myself. Hope it works out for your sister. Learning the hard way that it makes a lot of things 'make sense' that didn't before and there are kinds that can be treated and you move on (looking more and more like that's what I have). Also, FWIW if...

    I'm guessing its the age of the home. Split AC systems for large homes isn't something I remember seeing when I started in the electrical trade. Didn't do a lot of homes though bth.

    Problem is the Tylenol, it's in everything. Any source max 3000mg. Don't play with this, Tylenol is no joke at high doses. If her only source of Tylenol is these tablets, she can take 1/2 of one every 6 hours. Hope this helps and hope it gives your grandma some relief.

    Getting weirdly high CPU readings on my gaming rig so I decided to reapply thermal paste this weekend. Now I know why, one of the AIO support bolts sheared off at the nub. Amazon to the rescue at least, new ones will be here Tuesday but I guess BG3 will have to wait. Time to fire up the PS5...

    Mom was a huge SK fan and turned me onto him. Think I've read all the fiction books he's pumped out. I do like the Holly character and the detective books she's been in.

    EEG came back normal so I guess that means the tumor removal = no more seizures?

    I haven't seen that yet so I'm guessing it's the next one (season 2 finale)?

Damn that's some good writing. Also...
