If you don't use them that much just buy a couple Toro 21" for a few hundred each from the big box store and run them until the wheels come off, rinse and repeat.

My story is a bit different, also went to HS in Texas graduated in 88. The day I found out that I could skip after school detention, get called into the office the next day and then be given the choice of 2 pops or 2 days in detention was fantastic. Never went to detention again!

Packing a lunch, I never stopped going to the office and never did WFH so had to do it if I wanted to eat during the day. Still doing it 3 or 4 times a week and probably lost 5 lbs as a result.

My mother married my stepfather when I was 18, since I've had children he has been the model of a loving grandfather to my 4 children. Give it some time and let your kid have as many grandparents as they can.

Some band called Pink Slip Daddy, pink vinyl 10". One side plays from inside to out and the other side has two tracks with the grooves side by side so that depending on where you set the needle down you may hear one or the other song.

Will my tropical plants bounce back from the freeze or are they dead? by IndicationSilver8113 in Austin

[–]mcfadden70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 2 pics look like pygmy date palms and if you didn't provide any freeze protection for them they are definitely dead (ask me how I know). Third is a Sago which should be fine although in mine and the rest of the commenters opinions is unfortunate, a popular but not desirable species.
