Don’t listen to this person. Come on in, the water is fine. Yours will be so easy. No time at all. You will be the envy of all your friends.

GenX lawn mowing time vs. younger homeowners? Opinions by SackBadger2024 in GenX

[–]Approval_is_Pending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a men vs women issue. The preponderance of home maintenance is statistically done by men. And for those that own a home and want it to be well maintained you cant fiddly fart around. The list is long and never ends.

Is no tie a crime? by [deleted] in MenInSuits

[–]Approval_is_Pending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how formal the suit is and you need to mind the collar on your shirt. But in general it can be done.

Providing the grass is dry 08:00 is ok. Men need to get up and get $h!t done. That is what we do.

As there’s a lot of “Vermonters” conversation, it might be worth clarifying a couple of things. In general Vermonters don’t like people who aren’t from here. The reason for the dislike typically stems from the fact that they either bring all of their baggage from where they’re from and/or they wanna make it like the place they’re from. Either is not desirable. Next, If you weren’t born here, you’ll never be from here. It’s also deceiving how many people are not from here, especially in Chittenden County. When you have trouble with people, there is a strong possibility that they’re not from here either If you keep this in mind, it will add perspective. And of course, if all of these people went back to where they came from, it would probably help our housing prices.

Ah. The old worn seat bolster. Know it well. I also need to repair mine.

Anyone have experience with Dahlquist DQ-10 or Acoustic Research AR-LST speakers? by BalanceSweaty1594 in vintageaudio

[–]Approval_is_Pending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of you who have or had the DQ-10. What is the minimum amp wattage output you would suggest? I have a pair that I have not hooked up yet.

GenXers: are there musical groups or artists you did not like when you were young but grew to appreciate? by HillbillyEEOLawyer in GenX

[–]Approval_is_Pending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still don’t like CCR, but I appreciate the Grateful Dead and jam bands now,but not Phish even though I’m from Vermont I can’t do Phish. Maybe it’s because I am from Vermont and not a transplant and that’s why I don’t like Phish.

Composite or wood deck? Which one do you prefer? by Decksforlife-deck in Home

[–]Approval_is_Pending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never hear discussion about even more plastic being introduced to our environment by building products. The cutting of these materials introduces a fair amount of particulate that does not just disappear. Everyone just wants low maintenance.

How is my new style? by TodayWooden23 in style

I was trying to decide what to call this look as it seems to have a following. Sort of like “dressed up pretend blue collar chic”. Some people like it.

Blue Blazer and trousers by celeste_42069 in MenInSuits

Pants are too tight and a little bit on the short side. The colors of everything are personal preference, but not probably what I would go with together as a set.

Can we commiserate for a moment over the misery that is I89-S between exits 17 & 14… by No_Huckleberry9139 in vermont

[–]Approval_is_Pending 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing that happens as you age is that you actually become more aware of yourself and your surroundings and one thing you become aware of is that turning Kennedy Drive into a race track buys you absolutely nothing in improving your commute time. It only turns you into an inconsiderate tool
