  1. Current one is Ryobi. Again, my issue is that it doesn't last long enough to do the job in 1 go. It's way better than the Black & Decker that we used to have.
  2. I hate ours. We have the heavier duty batteries and it still dies before I get done with the edging. We have a ton of edging though since we have a sidewalk. For light to moderate work it would be fine. My kids use the blower for the sidewalks and it seems ok. Nowhere near as powerful as the gas blower the neighbor's lawn company uses.
  3. I read somewhere 30 minutes of cardio or 90 minutes of walking per day. I think that the people in trades who ruin their joints are because of repetitive, non-functional activities. Thinking specifically of carpet installers. They are on their knees a lot and the carpet stretcher with the force they hit it with their knee. That's going to be hard on their knees, hips, & backs.
  4. Since both of those characters were 100% made up for the movie, there was nothing there to flesh out. We enjoyed it even with all of the inaccuracies. It was one of the "based on" movies and not a documentary.
  5. Thanks for sharing your experience. I may do this after we move & get settled.
  6. My 16 yo picked up something similar from school. She started feeling bad Tues night, was really bad yesterday with a headache & super tired, today she has headache & runny nose. She thinks she picked up something from school because she drank from the water fountain. The couple of times she's gotten sick it has been after she's used the water fountains at school.
  7. I voted other. My current 16 yo used to cut our lawn for money but she needed the extra time and energy for karate. She just passed her test so she will have time but it's the end of the school year and she's busy with that. Then we're moving this summer. When we get settled she wants me to help her look for a job. My oldest did work at that age. He's still working the same job with more responsibilities.
  8. Always: ANTS, silverfish, daddy long legs Occasional: palmetto bugs (aka flying roaches), earwigs, wasps
  9. Warm moist heat (I use a hot water bottle), Ibuprofen & chiropractor.
  10. Mine is more the humidity. I don't usually keep it very cold. For the summer I have it set to 78. Right now we're doing 75 but our house is on the market so that's to keep buyers happy.
  11. I have an app on my phone that can access lots of different ebook formats. It's EBookDroid and it's free.
  12. Most places will have a trial class where you can see how the instructor interacts with the kids and what they teach. If he wants to get to black belt then you will need to stay at the same dojo. Our first experience was awful. The people there couldn't teach. He just expected the kids to know what to do by following him and his wife/co-owner seemed like she hated kids. We switched to a new place and loved it. We've been there for 12 years! My son earned his 3rd degree black belt last year and my oldest daughter is testing for her 2nd degree this weekend. They do American style karate.
  13. I used to subscribe to the Free Library of Philadelphia because the ebook selection is far superior to my local library. I think it was $50 per year. I live in GA and it was super easy to sign up online.
  14. Glad you got it. My suggestion was going to be to spray saline into your eye to lubricate it.
  15. Found this site had interesting info on the dates as well. Understanding dates on egg cartons
  16. Here's what I found searching about the date on the carton: "Dates on egg cartons and all other food packaging reflect food quality, not food safety. A “Sell By” or “Expiration Date” ensures eggs aren’t kept on shelves past a certain date. However, eggs can be safely eaten 2-3 weeks beyond the expiration date or sell by date." I'd probably call the store so they can check the rest of the inventory.
  17. Are you sure you didn't step on something? When in doubt go to the doctor.
  18. I cannot use the epilator on my legs. I have tried so many times and it is just too painful. But I do use it on my armpits. 😆
  19. Enjoyed the first session. Love the choir most of the time but they made I Am a Child of God sound like a funeral dirge.
  20. My sister has very pale skin and dark hair. She gets her arms waxed when she gets her legs done. For your daughter, I would just suggest she shave.
  21. Two older girls have church camp the first week of June. We're hoping to be moving so will be busy with that. May try a trip up to the mountains.
  22. Congrats! My 16 yo started at the high school in 10th grade. She is doing great academically but hates the social aspect of it. This semester she's taking half of her classes at the school and half online. For her senior year, she's signed up for dual enrollment.
  23. My kitchen and family room are totally open to each other. There is one little pillar to hold up the 2nd floor. The family room also is 2 story and there is a walkway upstairs. I HATE it. I told me DH that our next house will not have any 2 story rooms. The open area is nice for entertaining as our kitchen is really big (I call it ridiculously large) with a double island, room for our 8 person rectangle table, and I put a sideboard to have a bit of separation from the family room.
