I envy the power @Urblock was able to wield here despite the fact that I have never seen him make a post about any of the Chicago teams.

How do u like it? Looks totally doc Seuss to me.
They are awesome, they do require training to become the tree like thing in the pictures the link showed. Ours actually grows all over some dead pyracantha and is still really beautiful. They do well on walls, on evergreen trees, and on their own if well maintained. They look amazing and smell great.

The neighbor across the street had to do some serious maintenance after part of theirs was damaged in a wind storm.

They certainly take some tending if you want them to be tree like.

You have a good memory
I've also been to your town on multiple locations, and can totally picture how that went down. Don't worry, I haven't outed your location to anyone else here. If I ever move from FL, we will be neighbors one day. Where you are is my #1 pick.

I'll start. I have bitten my nails all my life, until recently. It's a disgusting habit, I should be ashamed, and I am ashamed, although I only ever did it privately (as opposed to fellow wage-slaves who clip their nails and/or use dental picks on the train/bus or in their cubicles/offices).

I evolved belatedly to using nail clippers about a month ago, and cannot master it for the life of me. I either only half-clip the nail or I go too deep and bleed profusely. The curvature never results in as smooth a cut as I used to have when biting them myself.

For ****'s sake, I used to be able to have my butterfly knife from back pocket to sharp and in hand in 2 seconds. This shouldn't be that hard.

I envy people who can use nail clippers effectively. What do you envy?

As someone who had the exact same problem, I just cut straight across and use the nail file on the corners. I have to make sure I have no nails otherwise I will bite them off. No way I could ever do coke since I can't allow myself to grow a good coke nail.

Just use the corner of a credit card. :)

What state/country do you live in that's so great BearsBud? Just curious.

At one point I was seriously considering moving to the area in NC BearsBud lives in. I visited probably 10-15 towns to get a feel for them and settled on the one he lives in, but ended up not moving.

I originally had wanted to move to Ft Garland, Colorado..I went and looked at some amazing mountain property there..Then the agent told me that the nearest supermarket and doctors office was 3 hours away..That killed that idea..
But there was wild elk, sheep,etc all over the place

I envy the SF 49ers..They were smart enough to sign Robbie Gould who just kicked another game winning FG last night..I remember when he did that for the Bears, but then they made another in a long series of dumb personnel moves and canned him

Places that get thunderstorms.

Don't get me wrong, I love the grey, dreary, near-constant drizzle between September and June out here and don't have any inclination to leave...but we don't get that much thunder and lighting, which I do miss.
