Should I buy an EdgeHog?

 Yes.  Yes you should.

Well, then I will click and buy now on Amazon! 

It depends on how much edging you have to do, LGS.

If you have a lot, you will probably like it.

I also had the Black and Decker Grass Hog.

It's a string trimmer and edger, all in one.

It was all I really needed. I only used the Edge Hog for the first mow of the season.

(Back when I was cutting my own grass, that is.)

I like doing stuff like that.

Oh I LOVE hot and humid weather. Suits me.

Hello, everyone!

Only a quick check in today. We have our little grandson for several days while mom and dad enjoy a baby free weekend. DGS has been with us since Wednesday. So we are all getting lots of baby time.
Not much sleep time, but lot of baby time. 

DS is deep into baby withdrawal, momma not quite as bad.

DGS crawls and stands himself up already. He is six months old. He is amazing.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great holiday weekend and if you don't hear back from Czechland, we are having a good time.

How fun, Czech!

Enjoy that grandbaby while you have him!

I know you will!

Yes, you should.  I did two weeks ago.  $89.00 at Lowes.  Used to use the string trimmer.  Took forever and spent more time winding line on the spool then I did trimming.  No matter how careful I was, it never looked very neat.  Takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's super quick. I don't mind that it's electric and you have a cord to drag around.  Will use it once a year, does the job nicely, and it was inexpensive.

Hello everyone, Not much planned this weekend. I'm helping with a grad party for our graduates at Church tonight. I'm hoping to go shopping to buy a new oven and dishwasher this weekend. I'm also looking forward to sleeping in.

  Lily I hope you have fun on your trip. It doesn't sound like you are to excited    Czech I know you are enjoying that sweet grandbaby.  This Friday we get to find out what sex our third grandchild is going to be.  Cant wait for that. My DIL wants all the family there present for the ultra-sound.

Yay for a third grandbaby, Lindley! How exciting!

Have fun on your trip to the beach, Lily!

My Rug Doctor and my new coffee maker just came by UPS ! I wasn't expecting them this soon! Yee haw!

Sooooo jealous of everyone's new babies. I personally don't want one, but if someone close to me had one, I would be in heaven.

I don't do yard work because of allergies. DH is never home to do it. Ever. We write a check for that. Now, we don't worry about it, the school takes care of it. But when we lived in Indiana, yeah, we wrote a check.

MM have fun on your romantic w/e.

I hope all you grammies have fun and get sleep.

FWM O4, NAOW, I love that tile that looks like hardwood, but I thought it was porcelain, not ceramic.

 Thanks! Going home to pack now! 

So...step daughter just called G. Her boyfriends car broke down and they went to Target and bought jumper cables and used them to jump his car from hers. Both cars caught on fire. Both are totaled. She called her insurance company (her mom pays her insurance, we pay step sons), and her mother called the insurance company. Well, seems that her mother forgot to put the new car on the insurance. So she's without a car and wanting us to rent her a car. Um...no. Your mother can take care of this. She's the one that screwed up. Oh, and now you have no insurance money to buy another car. Mother will probably come to us for that too.

 It might be, IKWTDS. I haven't done all of my research yet.

It's some kind of tile, that looks like hardwood flooring.

We want that black, bamboo wood look, in the family room, and study.

I will figure it out, before I buy.

 Sooo,they were dumb and clipped the positive to negative and vise versa?

---

 She says they didn't. But it doesn't matter. Her car is not insured. Even if it was faulty cables (???) She can sue, but that will take months if not years. If she had insurance, they would pay and sue..

I have been so busy. Haven't had time to even read anything today. While we were out my mom called DS. They are reopening one of the five murder cases against my bio dad.

 OMG. I like how you just threw it in there with the rest of your sentence with normal stuff. It caught me completely off guard.

 It could have been faulty cables. Dh had to pick some up at Walmart recently to jump his grandpas van and the cables started on fire. Luckily no damage was done to either vehicle, but DH got some burns. 

That sucks for her. How do you forget to insure your kids car?? I think the mother should definitely handle this, that was a stupid mistake. 

---

 They have witnesses. They did everything right. So it may be a faulty cable. If so, the insurance would pay and go after the manufacturer. But since she doesn't have insurance on the car, she will have to go after them. Which will cost money and time...

DD7 brought home a backpack full of papers and projects that I have to go through and figure out what to do with. She will want to keep IT ALL.

 ONE Bin.  Get a bin, put her stuff in it - tell her that is it for all 13 grades, she needs to choose what is important.  If it gets to full, she can purge later when her perspective changes.

NAOW, we bought SS a binder with the clear pages. He is allowed to hang whatever he wants on the fridge. Whenever the fridge becomes too full or we just feel the need to straighten up or purge we give him the coloring pages, awards, and various other things and he puts them in his binder. That way he can keep all his stuff and we keep our sanity.

I kinda want a new laptop. I have a totally silly reason.....I want to play FarmVille. I used to really enjoy playing, but my current laptop has gotten really slow and it doesn't charge right. So I want a new one.

 If it makes you happy and relieves stress - it is not silly.

---

 Yeah.........but I'll sound silly when I tell the guy at best buy that I want a good computer to play FarmVille on that doesn't cost a fortune

 

 

 

and buying a laptop my give my mom a panic attack lol

---

 You don't tell him you want it to play Farmville.  You tell him you want it to be able to handle video games.  The nerdy guy at Best Buy will love you. 

On Sunday, I'm going to dinner with a couple of friends. We'll be near a best buy. Maybe I'll price a laptop and save up for it. That would make her panic less

 They're exhuming one of the bodies.  It's the first murder victim.  So we're in the grocery store and DH and I are talking.  We're just talking like it's an everyday thing. 

Which body are they exhuming?

Not sure. 

I wonder why?

Depends on which body it is.  I can tell you who requested it.

But he didn't say which body?

No.  Could be the latest wife or the business partner.

So the cashier says, "Which movie is this?"  I said, "Oh, no movie.  It's my life.  My dad killed a bunch of people."  Then she looked at me like I just grew another head.  I said, "I didn't grow up with him so I wasn't around it..."  lol

---

 Sounds like a normal conversation to me, I don't know what the cashier's problem was.

   love sarcasm

 I definitely have an interesting family!
