Re: Zoysia

Tulsa here: I've tried fescue in shady areas, but it grows way faster and for a much longer season. I haven't tried zoysia and don't plan to because I saw Bermuda growing quite well in the shade, but it was because they had a sprinkler system, and were diligent about fertilizer. Bermuda grass can be...

Re: good sipping whiskey?

Connemara peated single malt Irish whiskey. The noticeable peat flavor may seem unusual to most people, but it reminds me of the smell of Ireland in the winter time. In Ireland they cut peat out of the bogs, and dry them into logs to heat their homes and to cook. It is heart warming and soothing to ...

Re: Blackstone grill

I have one for my RV, but rarely use it. You can ovoid lugging it around by getting a nonstick griddle to put in any grill. What I bought to replace it is a Treager portable pellet grill. It comes with a griddle as well. Now I have one tool for both jobs. I believe they call it the town and travel g...

Re: Gin

Hendrick's Gin with Fever Tree Tonic and plenty of lime is what my friends and I gravitated to. But honestly, Costco's Kirkland gin with Schwepp's tonic water makes a mighty fine libation as well at half of the price. To me, I find it difficult to zero in on the perfect liquor when other factors are...

Legalize the worlds oldest profession Why?

This is not to be a seedy topic involving personal experience. Far from it. It is to open peoples minds about our cultural norms and the consequences of creating laws to trump moral issues. It is definitely not written to alter anybody's moral values. If I surveyed people on this subject, most would...

Re: Shaving a friend

Yes, A friend of mine was in extreme pain and couldn't shave himself. I started out with horse clippers, then moved to a Henry's razor. The mistake I made was that I pulled too slow, trying not to hurt him. Actually pulling faster was far less painful and efficient.

Re: Tornado Season

In Oklahoma we get way too many WARNINGS. A watch means conditions are right for a tornado to form. A Warning means that there is an existing tornado. Now when radar detects rotation they call it a warning. It is now common for us to get warnings almost every day and sometimes multiple warnings in a...

Theirs Isn't loaded with penalties, injuries, and time outs. Every time the opposing football team gets momentum...

Re: Cannibidiol CBD - what's up with this stuff?

Don't fear it. See if it works for you. After retiring from a 30 plus year career in aviation I tried CBD. I didn't have any ailments to need it so of course I didn't notice anything. I also smoked pot, I don't care for it. I know a cancer patient who used marijuana for pain, and it had a far better...

Re: Question for you old farts and retirees?

I retired a year and a half ago. So Glad I Did! It's nice to join the ranks of the retired. I shave as much as always. Not every day. Most of all be considerate of your wife. She doesn't want to live with a bum.

Sometimes I pamper myself with the multitude of products, but now I have enough of them for years. I may be accused of being a "Bogan" for my most common routine. I soap my face in the shower with the same soap as I use on my body and hair. When I get out of the shower I use more soap, the...

Re: Boots

Lucchese for cowboy boots, and Allen Edmonds for dressier boots or shoes. Pricey, but undoubtedly worth it.

Your most expensive shoes are the ones you never wear.

My brother is retiring at the end of the month after 30 years. He is going to take a picture of himself smiling and waving good bye. Then make 30 copies on the copier. Next he is going to add one copy to every 50 sheets back into the printer stack. I'm sure he will be missed!

Re: Memories of barbershops when growing up.

I was 6 years old in 1966. My brothers took me to the barbershop in Ashtabula Ohio. I was one of the youngest of 7 kids, so I didn't get out in public much at all. There were around four barbers working at the same time. One of them was Black! I may have seen a Black person on the black and white TV...

Re: Yeti Coolers and Cups

I have 2 Yeti coolers. They will last forever if not stolen, and more than twice the weight of a cheap one. If you have one and use it you will replace your ice every 2 days. If you put refrigerated drinks in it, they melt the ice. If you put room temp. water in it you will really melt the ice. Why ...
