    I've deleted this entire conversation. If you want to have this discussion, take it to the political venting thread. I avoid that thread because I tend to get pissed off. I don't like getting pissed off in other threads. Oh, and I'm not asking.

    Yeah we need a hard freeze have to pull the oriole feeders because of the hornets, we have humming bird feeders that are bee proof but the oriole are next to the hummer feeders. I also have to say I used to think blue jays were the biggest a-hole of birds, hummer go after each other like crazy. It is kinda fun to watch like little fighter pilots.

    My youngest daughter went to school Sunday. Finally an empty nest and disposable money. Last Monday morning my MIL dies. Prepping to move in my FIL to the house. I'm not complaining and love him and will miss her dearly but F@$# man give a brother a few days to walk around naked.

    We paid for private high school and her car. College is hers. We did it this way for both of our girls and it seemingly makes them value the experience more. My oldest got to skip freshman year of college and my youngest skipped freshman and sophomore year due to credits accumulated in high school. It's going to be exhausting expensive for her as she is going pre med but what isn't these days

    Still being a rugged woman in my old age. Hubby's legs and back have been bothering him. We got new gutters 2 years ago but due to what ever plan he had in his head, skipped guards for now, mind you we live IN the woods. Eye roll. Anywho another whopper storm is due and he needed to clean the gutter. While he showered this a.m. I grabbed the big 12ft pull out (step) ladder and went about cleaning the gutters/down spouts, on both sides of house. That 12 ft fiber glass /aluminum ladder is not all that light.then climbing up and down as I moved it with my bad knees and now rt. Hip.
    I finally informed my family I plan on working myself into my grave. Not trying to rush things but working hard to not stall out before handed what ever God's plan.

    Imagine me working with my grandson on the fish house we are ripping out the carpet and the pad, and I am trying to not curse. I made it thru the carpet but I knew to stop after that my I was feeling it in my back.

    My sister in law might be watching the game at my house, even if she was a Packer fan I can't stand her. Luckily they are have the fundraiser for the fire department over in Elmdale instead of in town. I would rather sit in a bar full of viking fans than with my sister in law. If you look up the definition of the C word in the dictionary, there is a picture of her.

    She was gone before the game thank god. I would never consider ever striking my wife in anger, her sister, could use a punch. She is that bad. Her parents moved up by us to avoid her drama.

    So after I went to the spinal clinic they set me up to have an MRI closer to home, same with PT. I got the quote from the PT clinic, I am not paying $600 to have somebody show me exercises. Google lower back PT exercises, doesn't cost a dime and my wife has an exercise "studio" as she calls it up in the loft.
