Check on your friends folks. MikeE3, Yiddle, and I had extremely high winds and hail come through yesterday afternoon /evening. I just got power back a few hours ago, many are still with - out in Mike's area. Yiddle is just a few minutes away, pm me if she needs anything.
WInd took out many trees, looks like a war zone in my neighborhood. Cell phones aren't working in some areas.

We had horizontal rain, wind, and thunder ... but no damage or hail. Didn't realize how bad it was in surrounding areas. Nice to hear you've got your power back. @yiddleboge6 - how are you doing?
What with your remote control weed blower (), have you considered something like this?

Cool ride! I like it.
Nice! Talented baby bro.
One just has to love the BP for the people that inhabit it...
Thank you for the concern shown. All is well here, only lost power for a few minutes. I live on a street with pretty heavy traffic, and a few minutes after the storm started, sirens were screaming by. Sadly there was a fatal accident that closed the road for nearly 6 hours...
I haven't ventured out to see if the wind and hail did any visible damage in the neighborhood...
I gotta wonder if the woman had a mental problem. A week before my father was diagnosed with a brain tumor he had freaked out on a neighbor. Totally out of character for him.
It was plain creepy (and embarrassing) !
There is no Global Warming. The scientists are all wrong. Or so some people would like you to believe, the climate isn't changing. I wonder if they actually believe that. It's all fake news.
Final decision: homemade automatic dishwasher detergent vs Cascade Complete or Cascade Platinum (I can't discern any difference between the two Cascades, and they're about equal in price when I buy them on Amazon).
The Cascade does a better job of cleaning caked-on food off of dishes, enough so that there's no point in me making any more homemade powder.
My test was reasonably scientific, with Cascade Platinum getting 3 plates clean that did not get clean through two cycles with the homemade detergent. The plates had caked-on residues of fish, beans and rice on them. There was no noticeable difference between the first and second washes with the homemade detergent. After the 3rd wash, with Cascade Platinum, the dishes were ALMOST completely clean (close enough in my book to be called completely clean).

Many, many, many years ago I worked full time at the service desk at Kmart. It was in the big open area at the front entrance. Everyone that came in had to pass by it. There was a customer that came in on a weekly basis. Everytime time she came in she would stretch out her left arm, point at me, & with her nose in the air, prounce her opinion. "YOU are RUDE.", & march on into the store. Ivd just smile at her. I'd never had any interaction with this woman at all. She did this from the first time I lay eyes on her until I quit 2 years later. About 3 or 4 years later I returned to that store in a mangement position. She was still coming in like clock work. She saw me one day & did her thing at me. To this day I have no clue what made her dislike me!

Kmart seems to bring out the kooks; years ago I was in the returns line at Kmart behind a man who was trying to return a power saw that he said was defective. When the CS mgr pulled the saw from the box, the "defect" became immediately apparent; he had sawed the cord in two.
She politely informed him that he could not return the saw, which set him off on an apoplectic rage that included vulgar utterances concerning the CS mgr, her mother, and family lineage, and ended with him throwing the saw to the floor in a most aggrandized display of vexation. CS mgr calmly weathered the insults, reboxed the saw, and sent it and him on his way, accompanied by a thunderous round of applause from all of us in line...
All warning labels should be removed and let natural selection take its course.
I was beginning to think think the winner would be the one pushed across the finish line.
I love the folks on this forum, we are a family and look out for each other. I have joined other forums online for other hobbies and none of them come close to the love and friendship that is demonstrated on our forum.One just has to love the BP for the people that inhabit it...
Perhaps you reminded her of the woman her husband left her for?
You would not believe the things people try to refund, or just walk out with.Kmart seems to bring out the kooks; years ago I was in the returns line at Kmart behind a man who was trying to return a power saw that he said was defective.
