I stand in awe at the ability of 1 cu ft of hedge to transmogrify into 1 cu yd of hedge trimmings.

I have just finished trimming the hedge that runs along the side of the house and all the way down the back garden.

It won't get any Royal Horticultural Society topiary awards, but it has been tamed and is unlikely to strangle us all in our beds.

As above, the trouble is that you always end up with a huge volume of debris (apparently) far in excess of what you've just cut off.

I concur, it grows exponentially after cutting.

You should see what happens to tree!

That's one road I definitely don't want to go down!

I'm not really a tree surgeon, more a hedge paramedic.

I don't know what else it may be called but it is expensive.

I've apparently come to a point in my life where I have to add "treadmill lube" to my to-do list.

Gravdigr · 09-21-2018, 01:40 PM

I've apparently come to the point in my life where I've been made aware that treadmill lube is a thing.

So I googled it. 100% silicone oil. You should be able to use it to remove scars too. It's the exact same stuff as ScarAway for one twelfth to cost.

I think it's called ADHD because that's what their report cards look like. (currently AAADA in mine's case....)

Let's play spot the teacher who thinks he should just "focus" more rather than following the accommodations set down by the school support team -notably that homework assignments and deadlines should be in a written form..... (there has been recent improvement, I suspect the counselors may have looked at these grades and brought it to the attention of the teacher in question...but this is yet to show up in the grade.... sigh

What might change with Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court?

Hmmm …

Pussy grabbing could become an Olympic sport.

Beauty pageant swimsuit competitions could be done away with, not the competitions, just the swimsuits.

#MeeToo might have to be written in all scarlet letters.

Bill Cosby could get another sitcom, in which he portrays a father figure, that's called Pudding Pop.

Football players could be denied medical coverage for knee injuries.

The FBI might have its name changed to the FBLI.

College students may have to sign NDAs.

The border wall could be extended around California's land border.

Julie Chen (Moonves) might be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
