In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Twenty six years, two husbands and three kids worth of rough treatment, and still going strong. The only thing I've ever replaced are the seals on the doors. We have a Kenmore washer that we bought two years ago, when the old Kenmore ones wore out after over 18 years. Kenmore is the only washer and dryer I will buy.

Don't feel too bad Texgirl, you aren't alone. The whole state of North Carolina has Blue Balls.....or somwthing like that.

your description sounds a lot like how things were done back then - take something that works, and modify it and see if it still works.

Do pine trees need dirt to grow?

(All we've got here is a 6" deep layer of slimy, greasy, slippery densely packed red clay....)

(However, I'm pretty sure a moderate acidic soil helps both cedar and pine - and you've got the limestone rock in the aquifer down below... could be pretty basic up top as well. Which might be why cedars don't get too tall in the Hill Country.)

Virginia put this out:

'Course, no soil, rocks, and low rainfall don't matter, do they?

This one sounds like a nice tree for the Edwards: but it seems to be a slow grower though... Bummer: 8<(

My frightening contribution to one of the upcoming photoshop contests.. the theme is "things that don't belong"

I'm still trying to figure out how to use photoshop so I'm not that great at it yet.
