Please excuse me while I vent....


My 84 year old father tries to be so helpful, but I swear, he messes up more stuff than he fixes. Yesterday, he took the blade off my NEW lawnmower to sharpen it. It did not need sharpening; after all, I am not mowing fields of weeds! I humored him and let him do his thing. Today, he put it back on. I went out at 8 tonight to mow my yard even though it is still 99 degrees. The mower was vibrating so bad that I couldn't use it. I knew he had screwed up putting the blade back on. I called my brother and asked him if it was possible to put it on backwards or upside down. He said yes it was and Dad probably didn't get it put back in exactly the slot it should be in and he probably doesn't have it tight enough either. NO JOKE!! Stewart told me not to use it because it is dangerous. He will see about it when he can. Anyone want to come for an Easter egg hunt in my lush, tall, green grass??

Frustration....


Since Sunday I have not been able to get any graphics or pictures to show up. It always says it's uploading and then says "done", but then nothing is there. I am frustrated right now because I can't figure out why. Others have put up blogs today including pictures and graphics. Why won't mine work? And just when I tried one last time, it worked!!!
