Moderators dtel Posted June 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2019 They have them here also but they don't grow wild, palmettos do grow here, the leaf is very close but no trunk they stay close to the ground. The real thatch well the most popular is from some palm tree? (picture) You might recognize it from living in Hawaii? The main thing is I didn't want the expense or trouble to replace it every few years, I'm not getting any younger. 3 minutes ago, WillyBob said: working at the campground... some crazy stuff. Not your average campground apparently. This the most common thatch they sell for huts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2019 Well, that explains why we don't have them here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 you don't?... `bet a Hawaiian would scratch their head to see coco palm leaves being sold. I can hear them... Having moved here from the midwest, you can imagine my look to see corn husks being sold at the grocery. I still chuckle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From sunbathing nude to bringing her boa into the store/restaurant. People would flat drop their stuff and leave So... with that going on, having the exotic dancers residing at the grounds would come as little surprise.They would come in the place wearing fishnet tops. 2in fishnet... That brings back really good and bad memories of my time spent in Aiken S.C./Augusta Ga. I'm not going to post any of those stories anywhere, as I'm happily married and Denise would castrate me just to make sure that I wasn't able to produce any new memories. Now, at the next pilgrimage if the subject comes up without someone videoing the conversation.....HMMMMMMMMMMMM, might tell a few, it was a wild time in my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't for the life of me comprehend how all that dark & demonic stuff played now-a-days is better for the youngsters than an anvil shot out of a cannon missing a hundred mile an hour road-runner.

Tarheel Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks for asking Pete! Hopefully down to a couple more days. It's been a week today and Google says the duration is 7-10 days. Mucinex, Claratin, chicken soup, orange juice, Scotch, and rest. The rest part isn't hard as I have absolutely no energy. Going stir crazy too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I had something similar, after not being sick a day in 8 years and took 2 sick days but it lingered and kept me about 85% for over a week so the end is near. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Gettin' "mature" isn't for kitty-cats. Heard that for so long that I'm old now and it's true. & live with someone raised on a farm that's 30 years older... I blame my am attitude on not getting my coffee yet. But heck it hurts sometimes. @Tarheel up until my late 30s if I got sick enough to stay at home and not get paid this is how it went down. Vitiman C from fresh citrus, (Has to be fresh.) usually the lemons for the tea. Plus that old Armitron digital watch I had from almost 1978 set to go off every ten minutes. I'd drink a whole glass of water with the lemon every ten minutes. We're at about the same latitude so you know a glass is 16 oz right? After about an hour it gets near impossible to go to the kitchen and get the glass refilled cause you have to stand over the toilet so much. Wizz those germs out in one or two days at the most the four or more times I recall doing that. Get Better Soon! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
