I am answering other people’s posts. Takes two to tango, funny how that is always missed. There are 100’s of threads I do not even participate in.

Two words: Page views! Three more: Winter is coming.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
It also helps when one of the many aliases has/had mod status.
What kills me is all the memes I see where someone puts a "quote" in a picture of George Carlin where the subject of the joke is something that happened after George Carlin died.
Do you mean like this?There are people who only reply to things in memes and think if they've been created their obviously true.
Inspired by the gadgets thread...I don't get why some people enjoy cutting their lawns. It's an exercise in futility... within a day or two of cutting the grass, it starts to need it again. Over and over again. The short term satisfaction of it looking nice is overshadowed by the repetitive waste of time it is.
I kinda enjoy cutting the grass. Lots of things are repetitive wastes of time. All outdoor gardening .. everything eventually dies. Making your bed. Vacuuming the carpet. Cleaning the dishes. Eating Arby's.

I don't get lawns. And by this I mean mass expanse of lawn. Most of the lawn is not used for anything. It is just there. To be mowed. Weeded. Sprayed. Whatever. It is a waste. It is sterile. Dead.I get lawn immediately around the house. Where you are outside and moving. We purchased a house on 1.85 acres last year and as per normal residential use, the majority of the land is, yup, lawn. We are going to convert over an acre of it specifically to natural prairie. It will be a living piece of land again with bugs and birds and butterflies and life. It won't need near the care and attention of the lawn once established. Better all the way around. We will probably even cut a trail through it so that we can walk through the prairie and enjoy it. I cannot wait to be done with the lawn.....So yeah, I don't get lawns.....
When my wife and I were a young couple, about to move from Madison to Minneapolis, she said she wanted a house (vs. an apartment). I said, "OK, but I really hate shoveling snow and mowing the lawn." And she said, "Well that's great, because I love doing that." And she has held up her end of the bargain. When she was really pregnant, had just given birth or had knee surgery, I of course stepped in and did it. But otherwise, for nearly 35 years now, she has done just about all of mowing and shoveling. Says she likes the exercise, and likes to make the lawn look really nice. Thankfully, haven't had snow to shovel since we left Chicago.
