A starve the troll pledge
I pledge that for as long as I can (probably
about a day) I will post only home and home repair comments. This will help return AHR to HR. That sad I woke to find 7 seven) inches wet snow (with a slush base of about an inch) out there, today. I've only partly cleared out, and started to get fatigue and shakes. Came into drink some water. Phone rang. It is the guy across the street, wants me to do his driveway also. No promises. -- ..

I am sorry Chris, In got up had coffee breakfast look out side 60 deg. with
nice sunny blue sky. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... I pledge that for as long as I can (probably about a day) I will post only home and home repair comments. This will help return AHR to HR.

My Kenmore floor model humidifier, the rubber belt came off again. Later today I'm going to try to figure out how to install the media pad that I bought, years ago. The old one is crusty with minerals. Probably part of the problem. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

He's sittin' out there in the yard with his chains on and 2 concrete blocks over each wheel for traction . So far this year he's only gotten to play in the snow once .... and I hope it stays that way ! -- Snag |

Electric (smoker keeps the temps up) and wood smokers. Gas grill or use of charcoal. Dead cow tastes great. Had volunteer butternut squash come up last year. Fed many neighbors and their friends. Bubba brought me 25# of red onions I had to share, too. |

Awesome ! My new portable gas grill should be here tomorrow or the next day . The burner tube on the RVQ100 that hangs on the camper has rusted away too far to be safe . I've gotten spoiled , the gas grill is just so much more convenient than lighting charcoal , and cheaper . It's still charcoal for smoking though , with selected fruit woods or mesquite for added flavor .. I use a Memphis-style dry rub that heavy on brown sugar . Forms a glaze that seals in the juices . My own recipe , if anyone wants I'll post it . -- Snag |

Chemicals would be one way. -- Dan Espen |

I planted beets and radishes in the garden back in November and put up a cold frame around it - like a mini hoop green house. I pretty much left them to fend for themselves due to time and health issues, but last I checked I've got beet greens and some small beets still growing. Didn't get a look at the radishes, yet, tho. They were on the other end of the cold frame. -- Maggie |

To reply to this troll question would be to violate my own pledge. Sigh. Well, at least I made it for most of a day. Don't know; I'll ask some day. Most likely. The neighbor (on the phone in the AM) says he can't get out his own door. In the afternoon I called him back and asked if he's got food and milk, bread, eggs. He says yes, this morning he went to check his mail, and go to the grocery. Sounds more like a Democrat all the time. -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

Yep, less than 8 hours or so after my post, total thread drift. I notice you didn't take the pledge. Pretty much no one did. I didn't take the pledge because your subject line doesn't make sense in relation to the content of your post. Your subject line was "A starve the troll pledge" but your content was about restricting your posts to "home and home repair comments". When I read your subject line, I expected to see something related to your goal of no longer replying to the Macaws or the Buford T's or the others that just come in to a.h.r. to garner attention and stir things up. Thread drift/off topic posts have nothing (directly) to do with trolls or the feeding thereof. Sure, trolls often try to steer threads in other directions, but so do many non-troll participants of any ng. It isn't only trolls that start OT threads or cause thread drift. Pledging to not feed trolls is a noble endeavor in its own right, but based the content of your post, your subject line should have been something like "A Home Repair Posts Only Pledge". |

Wife painted a door today. Actually it's in the mid-50's here with patchy clouds and I spent a good part of my day laying concrete blocks . If the weather holds I'll finish the cellar walls this week and move on to the other support columns . All that rain in December has me about 3-5 weeks behind schedule ... and the Mrs. is quite irritated . It's in the low 60's here, today. Nice! It's been in the 80's all this week and yesterday it made it to 92. What season is it???? Not really sure, but I've got spring fever. -- Maggie |

Are you at least doing some home repair, today? My Kenmore floor model humidifier, the rubber belt came off again. Later today I'm going to try to figure out how to install the media pad that I bought, years ago. The old one is crusty with minerals. Probably part of the problem. I have a new mouse pad I'm going to try to figure out how to install. You buy houses for your mice? -- Dan Espen |

That little *speck* is a (20 or 30 ft) BOAT!!!" Folks who grew up where you didn't think twice about "watering the lawn", washing the car, etc. woul dfind it hard to relate to the different "water-conscious" mindset.

Beautiful images, but also scary with it being so low and still getting lower. Which image showed the old village that was flooded that's now exposed? -- Maggie |

That sad I woke to find 7 seven) inches wet snow (with a slush base of about an inch) out there, today. I've only partly cleared out, and started to get fatigue and shakes. Came into drink some water. Phone rang. It is the guy across the street, wants me to do his driveway also. No promises. You ask too much my friend! Hey, I researched some windows film today. |
