What Did You Do Today?

That's GREAT ,Scatter! A memory both you and Jordan will surely carry with you for the rest of your lives. How well i remember seeing Munster Go Home with my family at the drive-in back in the day. The Mom of  one of the kids i teach guitar to said she took her two sons to see the 3D version of the Dragons movie and the matinee price was 15 bucks per kid! I think it's like 19 or 20 for an adult. Absolutely ridiculous! Times are bad enough for families struggling in this economy without movie theaters gouging the viewing audience for all they can get away with.

LOVE the drive-in.  Last one I saw was Friday the 13th Part III... maybe 1983?  We have none around by me.  A shame for my kids.

When I am older (i am only 16), I am thinking about renting a building and showing older horror films on the weekends. The only thing i am sort of worried about is owning the rights to all the films. I don't know if you have to own the rights to show it or what but i thought it would be a good idea. The people my age wouldn't appreciate as much but maybe the older folks might.

I spent 3 and 1/2 hours trying to get the lawn mower started. This time I lost. I have to do this every year.

Either your mower is an OLD cantankerous piece o crappy or you are not doing the yearly tune ups. New fuel filter/spark plugs/clean the fuel line/fuel additive/adjust the pull cord length etc. All it takes is one granual of dirt or old sediment-ed fuel to screw things up. BTDT and ALL the neighbors knew it by my loud ranting."children go to your rooms and put in your ear plugs ,the crazy guy is at war with his mower again"

Great rehearsal (nearing opening night now) and a fun time with some cast members and techies afterward at the bar + networking. Thinking about getting White Castles right now.
And the guy who plays my love interest in the show (and maybe in real life ) is back so the kisses are back too!

I will be attempting to put together my Bowflex Revolution.  Pray for me.

Sean, my husband and I have seen that commercial hundreds of times and wondered how hard it would be to assemble. Maybe you could do a step by step video diary that will end like that one at the beginning of the Congo movie. Or maybe it will end in victory!!!

All of this is PRECISELY why I chucked out my gas mower about 10 years ago. Change the oil, change the plugs, pull the freaking cord until your rotator cuff tears. Screw that.

I bought an electric lawnmower and a 100' extension cord 10 years ago......... it's still running like a champ.It cost me $89 and not a single dime since. Never needs lubing, gas, oil, or anything except a sharp blade and an extension cord. I pull the handle and it starts immediately...........every time. I liked it so much I tossed my gas weed eater, blower, and edger and replaced them with electric too. And I've never had to replace any of them in all these years either, because electric tools simply don't break down due to wear and tear and mechanical issues like gas ones.

No more getting up to do the yardwork and discovering I have to run out first to get gas, or plugs, or oil. No more getting them repaired. No more replacing them every few years (if you're lucky).

As for the neighbors, electric lawn tools are so quiet that I often start doing my yard work at first light, and I'm done before the family is up for breakfast (avoiding the heat of the day). No one even knows I'm out there working on the yard.

For the sake of your wallet, neighbors, shoulder, and sanity, chuck the gas engines, save money and hassles, and go electric.

It's the ONLY way to see movies!! The disadvantage of having to wait until night to see the movie is offset nicely by the atmosphere and price. Thank God we still have a Drive-In here. Let's hope they make a comeback.

I bought a top O'the line Sears mower 10 years ago and paid $300. One I get the sucker goin she is good for the season. I thought about an electric but A. My yard floods a few times a year and an electrical cord in mushy grass would be a no go. B. I have built in a 40'x6'pathway and have border gardens and 12 other smaller gardens as well as pots statues etc. So I would be spending half my time whipping the cord over things. I already do that with the hose and it is a real pain in the ass.

I don't know that I would mow a mushy yard anyway.

I have the backyard trees, playhouse, trampoline, elevated garden, etc too..........like anything else, once you get down the pattern so that the cord isn't a mess it becomes easy. Considering the option of gas-powered hassles, I'll keep my cord LOL!!

I'm halfway done with this frigging thing.  Picture the Green Gargantua getting electrocuted and that is the freaking way I feel right now.    

...Must get back to ship... must warn others... Bowflex Revolution is TOO difficult to assemble...

It's VERY 'tight', as in:  the holes for the bolts and the threads on them are VERY tight.  You must alternate tightening them with each piece and you must tighten them in a particular order so they all line up------------and the directions tell you NONE of this.

I have all the BIG pieces assembled and am about 1/2 way through the manual.  The machine is upright and needs smaller pieces attached----which is easier for 1 person to do.

I was like the father in Christmas Story with the furnace in the basement... fortunately, the wife is coloring Easter Eggs with the girls at my mother-in-law's so they don't have to hear the litany of foul language.... although my repetoire is kind of pitiful (as I consciously tone it down with the kids now).

I think I called the thing a 'rat's (insert body part here)'several times and may have used the word 'stink' quite a bit.

Ugghhhhh.... just taking break with a diet coke..

I joined a new gym and am psyching up to start working out again on Monday.
