NADman Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I got $500 bucks of "Senior's, STFU and quit your whining about Covid 19 and extra costs" stimulus money. Sale on Box wine this weekend. Phew! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Clover, rplace. Now that's a lawn. None of that monoculture grass stuff. It's good for the soil, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All natural here. I'm too lazy for chemicals, fertilizers and the like. Heck, it is lucky if it gets cut. 8 hours ago, Marvel said: Were your greyhounds rescue dogs? There used to be a group in Chattanooga which placed greyhounds to good homes. Yes, two different rescue groups in it central PA and WV area. I've had dogs from CT, WV and Daytona Beach. All wonderful retired racers. Sadly the breed has a lot of osteosarcoma (Bone Cncer). We had to put two down less than a year apart and they were only 7 and 8 years old. The first one made it to 14.

I wanted Sid, wife said no to Sid Vicious I wanted Pete, as in Townshend - Rejected I lobbied hard for Marley (Ya Mon) she said too close to Barley the last dog we put down I tried Jimmy (Hendrix, Page, McGriff, the list goes on) - Nope I knew Edge would not fly so did not even float it as a possibility Since he made his way to us via a great rescue nabbing dogs from Kill shelters down south (Alabama in his case) we though a southern gentleman's name could work, nothing came to mind that stuck. We briefly though of Bear but passed....Roll Tide! Eventually we agreed on Bo, no lie. She thinks it is a good southern name, possibly even short for Bocephus. She likes to say "Bo Knows Cute!"....But I sleep well at night knowing it is the precursor to Schembechler, or possibly short for Bono. I'm sure with a puppy we will say many, many time Bo-NO! 😎 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
