Very much so.

I didn't mind too much when we had a yard. The back yard was a bear, however. It backed up to a wooded preserve area with quite a few walnut trees. Then there was this steep hill coming off the driveway. That was the killer and I'm not sure a riding mower would have helped. Looking at the pictures, your front yard is a lot like ours was. Our next door neighbors were out there constantly on weekends. The wife was obsessive. He once bought a new mower and she went out with a ruler to measure the grass to make sure it was the correct height. I'm sure she would have used a level to check thje bushes if she could.

I've tried to model it a few times with A-I Chatgpt keeps wanting to combine Virginia's Northern Neck with far SW Virginia. That would never work

I have completely come around to having Congressional (and statewide) districts with Multiple members. Instead of 13 congressional districts, divide the state into 4 regions, maybe 5 if you give the UP it's own district. One big election, the top two or three vote getters get to go to Washington. Same with Lansing

When we began downsizing, I got rid of burdensome things like lawn mower and snow blower. The yard we have now could easily be done with a rotary mower, I still have a weed wacker and snow shovel. The snow stuff did little good this past season as our two bad weekends were mostly ice. Will occasionally use the trimmer to clean up after the sub's lawn crew. My dad was in the lawn service business long before it became somewhat profitable (has it ever been?) Getting drug outs of bed at 5 AM is no way inspire a 14 year old to go into the business.

It's low on list of grievances but the "First Host" just rendered himself obnoxious again.

Probably went right over the heads of MAGA Congress Critters

Here's the "smoking gun" so to speak. Can we start a list of people Trump and Co wanted Shot, Hung, Killed, etc...

Everything they do is to please a 4 year old man child

They immediately hired the GM's son

More proof MAGA's a such snowflakes. Especially the Guy who recently stated "I am not a rapist" "I am not a pedophile" There were two attempts on Gerald Ford within 2 weeks. He didn't wine about needing a ballroom either.

Both my primary system and Duke either leave voicemails or send messages on their systems app. That includes messages, tests, appointments and such. We had something similar in Michigan for the Henry Ford System as well. We've changed part of our pharmacy services because of Medicare provider services and costs. That said I still get regular messages thru the new pharmacy service and phone messages on a regular basis regarding refills and new perscriptions. The old pulmonary guy's staff just never followed thru, and he blamed it on us fo asking too many questions.

Another Trump pushed conspiracy demolished.

Now Little Donnie, you need to practice reading out loud more. And no playing in your new basement play room until you finish ALL your homework

Another manager bites the dust https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/phillies-fire-manager-rob-thomson-don-mattingly/

I had an argument with my then pulmonary doctor over this a few years ago. At an appointment he asked how I was doing under a certain medication. I told him I hadn't heard from anyone. "Do you answer your phone when it's an unknown caller?' No "You should aways answer your phone". If it was important they should leave a voicemail. We went round about this for several minutes. Then he said "you'll enjoy Dr. XXX" and walks out. It turns out his "assistant never sent the prescription in (the prescription comes from s speciality pharmacy). And never contacted the specialist to set up an appointment, until I called his office the second time. I stll don't answer my phone on unknowns. I figure if they needed to call me they'd leave a message. If it's not in my directory...

4) I moved to a subdivision where my HOA handles lawn care, even though the yard is small enough that I can handle it

Boston upper management signed off on the name change of their Single A affiliate in Salem. Va. Any group that actually approved the name Ridge Yaks definately has a few screws loose
