The Good Banter Thread

[sissy]

I have been using a lawn mower like this for over 20 years on my own lawns .Never ever have I had a tire do that .Before i mow I check air filter, tires ,gas and oil and the belts .

Bad bit about your neighbors driving by.

I hate to say it but one can't trust anything anymore. Everything is made in china and all they care about is making it cheaper. You can't afford to make it here and when you farm it out to China there is no way to know what crap they have pulled to save a dime at any point during the production run.

Most of the 'good' companies are using China just to stay afloat. I was chatting with a friend about his computer PSU. He said it was a good one and did not think it was made in china but it was.

Things are getting to where most people could not afford to buy goods made here even if they were being made here.

yep the tube just popped and no clue why and went and got a regular tube and put it in and took me an hour to up rite the lawn mower .You know what is so bad several neighbors just drove by and see me struggling with it and ignore me ,real nice neighbors I have .I only got the side yard mowed and took pics of the tube :grumble: so I could send it to the company with a copy of the store receipt .Leg is all bruised and scrapped and shoulder looks like it is going to have a good bruise on it too .

That’s scary, hope you are not too sore tomorrow. :kruecken: You should just get your money back and get some other tube.

If you lived on a street where every neighbour had a pond, I guarantee you would have had lots of help with your lawn mower. :beerchug:

Why don't we have a chat room ?

If we had a live chat room, I would never get off of here! It's hilarious, as sometimes there may be 10 or 15 people typing and answering at the same time. Watched my daughter once on a dating site, live chat, I said, "How can you tell who is answering what question?" She commented you just get used to it. LOL There's no "raise your hand if you want to comment" in a live chat, everyone just types away. LOL

[SIZE=12.727272033691406px]I had the same reaction as you when a chat room was suggested for [/SIZE]electro-tech-online an electronics forum. The forum has more activity then our forum but most of the time there are only a handful of people in the chat room. The people on now are typical of what one sees. There is a retired guy from England, A fellow who is grounds manager at the 577foundation, a high school student from whales, and a young lady from Pakistan who is graduating with a BS in electrical engineering this week.

Comparing teens in a dating chat room to us talking about ponds and the weather is like comparing Necrotizing fasciitis to goose bumps.

This is the conversation from the last few minutes. ericgibbs is in green because he is a moderator.

Haha, HTH, that's how it looks on the dating chat room when my daughter would do that. Get this: She could have a chat going on, 2 or 3 individual personal chats with people from the chat room, AND be texting with someone on her phone. OMG, talk about multi-tasking!!! I had a hard enough time trying to stay with the chat room conversations. LOL
KoiGuy, I'll have to watch it from JW's post of the whole movie, since I don't have the channel it was on, but plan to watch it from all the positive reviews on here. Can't wait to find the time ....

Only 3 people were typing and one had 2 or 3 lines. It is also easier because most of the time it is people you are familiar with.

Nobody is going to tie you to a chair and force you to use it.

Painter giving the first quote just left. I wasted too much of his time with my chit chat. He didn't say that I did! LOL

Most just add the time to their estimate

Never had time to watch much TV, it is the long weekend here and I need to get everything planted, but I feel sick and tired today, had a fever worked too hard over the last week between my garden house chores, and that place were I work to death!! We may be having a "strike" there in September......

 

[sissy]

Bad time of the year to be sick as it is always the busiest time of year .So take care colleen and get a nice cup of hot tea .Bundle up and sweat it out .The time you take now will make you feel better faster .I take lots of vitamin C this time of the year
