I know nothing about shoveling snow, but as crazy as it sounds I love to cut grass, I cut our 6 acres minus ponds, and my sisters 3.5 acres 2 miles from here.

I put my earbuds in with sound deadening headphones over them, get on the tractor with a 6' finishing mower, roof for shade and cut away.

 

For me it's fun buzzing around buzzed, cup holder for a drink and all I have to do is not go in a pond or hit a tree.

I'm easy to please

Try it with a push mower and see how much you love it.  If cutting the grass was riding around several hours in the shade listening to music, I'd love it too.  My lot is just small enough NOT to be able to use a rider.

I never loose at a casino, I don't win anything and do spend a little. All I go for on occasion is to eat and I always get the better end of that deal.

No thanks, that's a whole different thing, that would be listed in the weed whacking category and nothing in that group is fun especially @ 90+ degrees.

For Steve                            5 benefits of ketchup

 

1. It reduces risk of prostate cancer

Eating tomato sauce two or more times a week reduces a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer by around 20 per cent, according to a 2002 American study of 47,000 men. Earlier research suggested it was lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, which cut the cancer risk.

2. It increases sperm count

Lycopene, which gives tomatoes their red colour, could also boost male fertility, a study published earlier this year found.

Researchers found the antioxidant could increase sperm count by up to 70 per cent, increase swimming speed and reduce the number of abnormal sperm.

3. It cuts cholesterol

Tests carried out by Finnish scientists found that ketchup could cut low-density lipoprotein, aka ‘bad cholesterol’.

Volunteers in the 2007 study, who added ketchup to their three daily meals, saw their total cholesterol levels drop by six per cent over six weeks and their low-density lipoprotein levels drop by 13 per cent.

4. It improves your eyesight

As well as being high in vitamin C and low in fat, ketchup contains vitamin A, which is key for a healthy immune system and, perhaps crucially, good vision. Joe Hart take note.

5. It makes actually healthy food bearable to eat

Let’s be honest here - despite the health benefits above, ketchup is also packed with sugar and salt, so it's possibly not the best thing for a serious health kick. Tomato growers have also argued that people would need to eat a whole bottle of the sauce a day to see many of these benefits.

It does, however, mask the taste of almost anything, so England footballers who’ve never quite got accustomed to the Capello diet could use it to ease down all those virtuous Mediterranean vegetables.

-- Not sure how the rest of you feel on the subject -- "well - I'm - Happy" (Dirtmudd you can do your thing here) that I cut the grass for the first time this season. Finally after a long winter then dreary, cold spring there was grass to mow. About 2-3 weeks later than normal. Felt good too - 75 today. I would rather cut grass twice a week than shovel snow once a winter.

Both my neighbors cut their grass today, they're both retired. I can wait another week.

One snow shoveling vs a season of twice weekly mowing?  I'll take some of that action.

Me too...

That's my favorite thing to eat there Prime Rib, I try to wait to they are in the middle of one to get the rarest part. I then move on to some boiled shrimp and a little fried just to break it up and back to the meat.

 

Once we were in Tennessee with friends and we went to a place called Sagebrush I think it was. I wanted to order Prime Rib and a girl with us said some places will cut one bigger than what's on the menu and the manager can tell you the additional cost. So I asked  and the waitress said sure how big would you like. :o The menu had like a 20oz so I told her twice as big, she came back and said the manager said $10 more, I told her YES and the other guy with us said I want that also.

When the brought our food everyone was looking and even the other waitresses came to look. This Prime Rib must have been at least 6" thick, we just all laughed, we were in heaven, it was cooked perfect and really good. I will never forget that, and yes I did eat it all, you would have to cut a piece off and then cut that up into pieces. :D hey i'm a big guy

I have many times, it's great fertilizer, we use to buy it by the trailer load, ain't that a bunch of sheet.

Our raised vegetable garden, 6' wide and 20' long is nothing but horse manure. About 10 years ago we filled it way over the top and it decomposed which took a couple years to finish. Now the neighbor brings over 5-6  5 gallon buckets every few weeks, he has a few miniature horses. I have never used fertilizer in that bed and everything still grows like crazy in it.

 

About 10 years ago we went to a chicken farm and got a trailer load 6'x 20' of chicken manure and just made a pile in the back yard. Never again, it smelled like dead bodies, even a neighbor came over and asked if I checked the back, he thought something died back there. :o We put it out as fast as we could to break it up from one pile but you can only use so much of that stuff it's such a strong fertilizer.
