Night Owl Chatterboxes - Part XXV!

If a gardening activity cannot be accomplished with the push of a button, then it's not for me.Originally posted by littlestream:Oh, so, do you like gardening?
My hubby is very on the go one. Cannot sit still. If weather is good, he's always outdoors. Frontyard, backyard. Tidying the garage, re-wiring the speakers. Yah, he set up the radio with speakers strategically placed. So, it's nice to sit out on the deck and listening in to some soft music in the evenings.
Heh heh........do you bbq?
(However, I shall admit that I am reasonably adept at laying down a track of Terro ant killing powder on the lawn bordering the foundation of the house, to keep ants from entering.)
Your hubby sounds like a very handy individual. You're indeed fortunate to have someone like him.
Yes, I have a very basic Webber gas grill that was given to me by one of the neighbours when she moved. In retrospect, I think she was just too lazy to bring the grill with her when she moved, and was just looking to dump it on someone. It's not much to look at, but it works and burns meat on demand. -
Ooooohhh.... that's hitting below the belt.....Originally posted by jetta:Beer flushes away. Stuff doesn't. -
Not all stuff are useless!Originally posted by the Bear:yeah.. beer is used...
the stuff collects in the attic, garage...
For instance, when there was a range of microwave-cookery utensils for sale in Isetan, mom and I selected a few pieces because these are hard to come by and the prices were very reasonable.
We didn't need to use them immediately, but a few weeks later, I found them to be indispensible when the mini tsunami in my apt kitchen flooded the stove and rendered it totally damaged and I had to rely on my microwave for everything.
Or, I bought a pack of spare chopsticks to use and it turns out to be handy cause every few months, when the wooden chopsticks got badly stained or damaged, I changed them for hygienic reasons.
Etc, etc.
Basically, when you're running a household, it sometimes makes good economic sense to purchase certain stuff "for rainy days".

why do women keep buying clothes?
especially when on a sale when men do not..i mean men also need clothes to wear 7 days a week right??
ooohh this is education for me.. -

Some men dress out of necessity because if they could, they would walk around in their undies and do away with the 'hassles' of dressing up!Originally posted by stellazio:why do women keep buying clothes?

Other men and women dress up to look good. These days, with the metrosexuals around, it's not just the women who buy lots of clothes, ok!

Hee hee...........oh, that's funny, MG. Yah, I think most peeps like that. If they are lazy or too much trouble to take along when they move, they conveniently give it to their neighbours or leave it on their lawn.

Yeap, I am very blessed. We are all no angels so he has his idiosyncrasies (and so do I) but I embrace ALL of him!!!! -
Me too, different scenarios.Originally posted by Rhonda:Not all stuff are useless!

buying nice clothes doesn't mean buying many..Originally posted by Rhonda:Some men dress out of necessity because if they could, they would walk around in their undies and do away with the 'hassles' of dressing up!

and its a known fact that probaly has enough clothing to go around the 365 days in a year..

Good luck on finding the perfect residence for you. Keep us informed!Originally posted by jetta:Me! Me! I love yardwork and gardening.

Thanks, MG. Decided to stay here. Too many factors against our relocating to WA. Check SO. Asked you about your day without illegals.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Good luck on finding the perfect residence for you. Keep us informed! -
not all stuff is useless.. but there is a lot right?
but what is the need for about 20 pairs of different shades of black shoes?
4 different woks that do the same thing, 7 fruit peelers.. blah blah..
seriously...
what you do, and the impulse buys, cost more than just from your pocketbook -
MG, if you want more free stuff, live close to military people. We tend to give lots of stuff away when it's time to move. Sometimes the movers won't take certain things or it's too troublesome, etc.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:If a gardening activity cannot be accomplished with the push of a button, then it's not for me.

Think you need to take this issue up with the female members of your family.Originally posted by the Bear:not all stuff is useless.. but there is a lot right?

Okay, bye for real!

i do... knock down, drag out affairs...
mom's seen the light.. although she occasionally buys some crap, it's a lot less now.. she bought a whole lot of crap including thousand dollar pots, pressure cookers and whatever crap which has never been used more than once...
came down to earth one day when i asked her where the pots were and why is it the best and most used thing was the wok?
sis doesn't do that shopping thing..Originally posted by jetta:Think you need to take this issue up with the female members of your family. -
OOOooooohhhhh.... Would any of this free stuff include unwanted firearms?Originally posted by jetta:MG, if you want more free stuff, live close to military people. We tend to give lots of stuff away when it's time to move. Sometimes the movers won't take certain things or it's too troublesome, etc.
You can tell when someone is moving to a warmer clime when he doesn't take his snow removal implements with him. That's how I ended up with 4 snow shovels... -

Y'know, that Weber grill was a really good 'gift'! -
You're being narrow-minded if you think that this applies to women only. There are some men around who have more clothes, and definitely more shoes, than I have.Originally posted by stellazio:buying nice clothes doesn't mean buying many..
and its a known fact that probaly has enough clothing to go around the 365 days in a year..
BTW, I'm a sad case - only have one pair of flattie and two pairs of not-so-high high heels nia.

You're right. It hasn't exploded yet, so it seems I'm getting my "money's worth" on it.Originally posted by Rhonda:

I constantly drool over the Weber grills ads in Gourmet and Bon Appetit!Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:You're right. It hasn't exploded yet, so it seems I'm getting my "money's worth" on it.
And oh, the Viking Stoves (Stainless Steel range), the outdoor stoves and the decks too! -
