DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

I like clover. Feels darn good on the feet. Anybody know how to make my lawn all clover?

I had a response ready for this line, but somebody beat me to the point...

Here you go Mike!

http://www.wikihow.com/Grow-a-Clover-Lawn

Just make sure you read the warnings....

1. Clover grows to about 8 inches tall and then stops. If this is too tall and you decide to mow your clover, be warned that the clippings stick to everything and make a terrible mess. It may be better to just let it grow.
2. Clover flowers attract bees. That can be a problem if you have young children that play in the lawn or have a family member who's allergic to bee stings. Stings are most likely when running barefoot through the lawn. Keeping the clover cut short helps but some of the clover plants will flower even then.

But don't forget the added benefit of clover. It is a legume, meaning it fixes nitrogen in its root system, which in turn is beneficial to the grass in your yard that can feed off that nitrogen.

ETA: Having read your article, they are trying to grow clover the hard way. Here's how I'd do it... wait until fall and cut the grass extremely short. Sometime during the winter, but definitely before the ground begins to thaw completely for the spring, use a spreader to broadcast clover seed. The short grass combined with the freezing/thawing action of the soil will allow the clover to make good soil contact and germinate. Pastures are overseeded with clover this way all the time and it is a heck of a lot easier than the methods in that article.

And this is the town I live in. Fed, I may need "How to Kill Zombies" training.

Miami has to be one of the strangest places on Earth. This story only scratches the surface. Pun not intended. (Well maybe) Come on down!

Just get these to keep it short.

And they taste like chicken.

Hey now. That's my mom and sisters you're talking about there.

Old man talk....

I got a new scrip from my doctor for my cholesterol medicine because he was not happy with how the other one was working. Took it to get filled and they wanted $158

I told them to hold, I was thinking there had to be a cheaper option since I take a minimum dosage. I called the doctor and he gave some kind of discount card. The new price?? $14

Who is to blame for these absurd drug prices???

Sounds like no more bacon for you. You can just give me your share.

As far as who's to blame, corporate greed I would say is mostly to blame.

So, an actual Disney question. Someone check my math please for 2 trips a year.

An AP, for 4 with DVC discount is $1676. That would be approximate equivalent of a 3 day ticket ($928) and a 2 day ticket ($672).

An AP renewal with same discount for 4 would be $1096. That would be approximate equivalent of a 2 day ticket ($672) and a 1 day ticket ($340).

I never realized the renewal was that much cheaper. We like to do parks every other day. The downside is the initial payment, but the renewal certainly makes it make more sense. We did Hilton Head this year, but probably will do WDW more often. What am I missing here?

the band wagon!!! i jumped on about 8 years ago. my due date every year is dec 1st. i get my points dec. 1st and my ap's dec. 1st

I don't know if it is the drug companies (probably) or the stores (possibly) but somebody is making a ridiculous margin off of most of them.

And, the drug industry set record profits last year with record low tax rates.

Thanks. The wisdom of my elders. I'm thinking dues are in Jan, so I may buy them in June or July. The only holdup now is the two trips. I really liked the week in Hilton Head, but if I get an AP, I won't go back there. What other discounts do you get?

 

[D73]

SO thanks to all of you for the welcomes. Dues are in the mail.

As mentioned before I am sharing my love of Disney with my students at school all the time. I got a report today that one of my former students auditioned at Disneyland Paris today and was hired. She contacted her mom who is a colleague of mine and asked her to let me know!

So excited that I have passed on the CM legacy to one of my "kids"!

Enjoy the pace and the nice banter.

We may consider actually moving into a condo in the future. They too have HOAs, but since all land in common property and they don’t really care what you do to the inside of the property, I can deal with that.

My retirement plan. Condo near WDW.

Who's responsible for sending that letter? I think you need to fill a hand sprayer with round up and go write some not very nice things in their yard, then send them a letter for having dead grass.

Kinda like permanent yellow snow.

Dear lord, that is incredible. Suddenly my too-hot, cramped small apartment seems a lot better then living in a HOA neighborhood. Hope this gets rectified without any more inconvience to you.

We have a HOA. I'd rather not have one, but DW liked the neighborhood so there you go.

If it works for South Park.......

I saw a couple of attractive contracts pop up, and you were right they go fast!

Just what I was thinking when I read that.

Yup. You can go to TSS site and get on their email list. You'll get contract notices before they hit the listings.

Twittering? I think I have an account but haven't checked it in years.
