Vision, that weeding bid seems a tad steep, but without seeing your fence line I could not say for sure. I guess the leaning fence bid is okay—”carpenters” can charge a wide range of rates.

As for putting mesh and stone under a deck, why do you need to do all that? Is there a real problem with weeds coming up? If there is no light that gets under there, you should be able to control weeds with Roundup (mix the concentrate stronger than the label says). On that bid, I would say it’s kinda high, but I suppose that depends on the size of the deck and the price/amount of the materials.

I’m sure the Iron Lady received the Hollywood Left’s typical smear treatment of Mrs. Thatcher. I read a few negative things about it from conservative writers.

Glad you got some rain you needed! I love rain.

Love this song about Linda.

[Vision]

We do.

[Vision]

It’s just an ugly area and some stone would make it look better.

[WXRGina]

Love this song about Linda.

Me, too!

[Vision]

As Adam said to Eve, quit ribbing me. Funny stuff.

It’s just an ugly area and some stone would make it look better.

I'm guessing you're talking about river rocks or some kind of small rocks or attractive gravel. I can tell you that you can save money by not putting down landscape fabric--or mesh--underneath the rocks. Ultimately landscape fabric is a waste of money, because weeds will still come up (birds drop seeds, wind blows seeds on top) eventually, and in the end, the landscape plastic/fabric becomes "trash" in your yard after it decays and breaks down.

Rocks are fine, and you can control the weeds with Roundup in a sprayer or just manual weeding, if you stay on top of it. "No maintenance" landscaping does not exist.

Love this!

When I was a lad I could not see
A hand held up in front of me
In spite of how I’d squint and peer
I couldn’t tell my father from my mother dear
My eyes were oh so very, very weak
That now I am an umpire in the National League
His eyes were oh so very, very weak
That now he is an umpire in the National League
As an umpire I gained great fame
I called a player out who wasn’t in the game
Another decision which you may have heard
I’m the guy who made ******* stay on third
My life is a failure, I’m up the creek
That’s why I am an umpire in the National League
His life is a failure, he’s up the creek
That’s why he is an umpire in the National League

[WXRGina]

HAA!!! I was thinking the same thing, Vision! I started to write you that I LOVE this “Umpire in the Major League” song! But, I was busy in the kitchen cooking. I’m with you—a swell song, it makes you smile!

Hi Viking, how are you?

[WXRGina]

Hello, Viking! Welcome to the Big Baseball Broadcast! :-)

[Viking2002]

Hey. Been down in bed for three days with a cold so bad, I feel like an alien's going to burst through my chest at any moment. I'd give anything just to have a case of the sniffles right now - been sleeping 18 hours at a stretch, and that's out of character for me. I see where there's going to be a quantity of the white stuff falling in the hills up there for the next 24 hours. Where was it four months ago, eh?

[Vision]

Sounds terrible. Hope you get better. We’re not expecting snow.

[WXRGina]

Oh, Viking! Bless your heart! I hope you have the good medicine that at least helps you breath better and sleep.

Get well soon, and stay warm!

[Viking2002]

Thank you, thank you.........

They're calling for 3"-5" in Allegany County, and as much as 12" in the higher elevations west of Frostburg, including The Wisp. Snowshoe, WV may even top that. If you're into skiing (and I'm not), you're getting a late Christmas gift up that way.

Viking, I love your tagline (and the Monopoly-looking Guy you sent me!). We love The Nuge!
