You need to import some fire ants. They'll take care of the seed ticks for you. We had seed ticks bad when I was a kid, but it's been 40 years or longer since I heard of anyone getting into them.

That's a lot of panties.

As a disclaimer, I have not tried this, because I haven't needed to, but some people swear by getting stung by honey bees on the joint that's causing problems. I know it sounds crazy, but there is a lot of information out there on it, and it might be worth looking into. Back when I worked as a...

Is Kansas in the Jell-O belt? I'm asking because about 25 years ago I spent the night there on the way to North Dakota. The restaurant near the hotel offered three options for your appetizer; soup, salad, or Jello-O. That seemed odd to me, because I'd always thought of it as more of a dessert.

It was before my time, but I remember my father talking about a local couple who had nine daughters. The last two were named Ada and Nina. He'd tell people that after seven they ran out of names and started numbering them.

. . . and the ones that cover a large area. Interstate highways 10, 20, 30, 40, 35, and 45 pass through Texas.

My father said that back when he was young and they were still farming cotton they called that kind of soil "noontime dirt." You'd go to the field in the morning and it was too wet and sticking to the plow, so you'd go back after lunch when it had time to dry and it would be too hard to plow.

That reminds me of a friend of mine, who moved to my area close to 40 years ago. I drove up to his place one day when he was getting ready to move a house onto it. When I drove up he was out there with a shovel digging a hole in the ground. Me being the nosy person I am asked him what he was...

In much of the state the soil isn't stable. I live in a almost 100-year-old house that's on blocks with a crawl space under it. This summer, when it was drier than usual, neither of my exterior doors would close all the way. I tried a soaker hose laid down along the edge of the house, but it...

Maybe I'm too quick.

I got in a few fights in school too, but it wouldn't have occurred to me to pull out my pocket knife.

I don't have a vineyard, but my next door neighbor does. Every other time I talk to him he's complaining about the deer eating on his vines, so I imagine sheep would too.

There have always been thieves. ". . . and people who wouldn't lie about anything else will lie when they're trying to sell you a horse."

I was in junior high and high school in the 70's, and the school rules were no knives in school. However, it wasn't unusual for a teacher to need a knife for something and ask the class if someone had one. He or she would generally have their choice from a dozen or so (including mine).

At least it doesn't last long. :cool:

No problem.

I will respectfully disagree. Those old Vermeer balers like my father and his partner had back in the 1980's wouldn't roll wet or green hay. It would just fluff up in front of the rollers instead of going into the chamber. Besides, they'd been doing it long enough to know when hay was dry...

I have pallet forks and a bucket for my FEL. Neither are much trouble to hook up. I back into the tractor shed with my post hole digger, hook a chain to the far end and let the lift down so the chain is holding that end up, then disconnect the pins in the 3-point hitch and lift it out of the...

That doesn't leave much wiggle room when trying to hook it back up, does it?

Is it just me, or do a disproportionate number of weird news stories seem to come from Florida? Is there something in the water there? (No offense intended to our members from Florida.)
