It WILL grow again and it will reseed itself. I am not trying to keep up with anyone. I like a nice lawn (of grass). My kids and pets like it too. If I did nothing to it it would be weeds (read: pollen/allergies) and dirt.
Grass does not reseed itself- weeds do. Grass only reseeds itself you don't mow it and let it grow.
No pesticides on my lawn either, just proper mowing, fertilization and hand pulling weeds. To each his/her own.

The girls and i went out to eat yesterday at Western Sizzlin and Kayla and I got deathly sick. Me at 12:30am this morning and kayla at 8:30am this morning. I know they put stuff on the salad to keep it from turning brown but we could have very well gotten it from the dressing. Nikki didnt eat salad or dressing and she is fine!
The MSG is why i cannot eat low fat or fat free foods b/c i get paralyzing head pain. I found this website on line when i was looking for information on the salad in restaurants.

MSG - Slowly
Poisoning America
Author Unknown
5-1-4
I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, and spent years working for the government.
He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America. In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies.
No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with a chemical when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and humans?) to become obese They even have a title for the race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats" .
MSG?
I was shocked too. I went to my kitchen, checking the cupboards and the fridge.
MSG was in everything! The Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings, especially the 'healthy low fat' ones. The items that didn't have MSG had something called Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate. It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. They hide MSG under many different names in order to fool those who catch on.
But it didn't stop there. When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants what menu items had MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore they didn't use MSG. But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided, sure enough MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere. Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant, even the sit down ones like TGIF, Chilis', Applebees and Denny's use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and gravy. No wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin, their secret spice was MSG!
So why is MSG in so may of the foods we eat? Is it a preservative or a vitamin?
Not according to my friend John. In the book he wrote, an expose of the food additive industry called The Slow Poisoning of America, (www.spofamerica.com ), he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body.
Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG at http://www.msgfacts.com/facts/msgfact12.html explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more. A study of elderly people showed that people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobby group says eating more benefits the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?
'Betcha can't eat just one', takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned!
And we wonder why the nation is overweight? The MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.
Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance: NICOTINE for FOOD!
Since its introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the prepackaged meals, soups, snacks and fast foods we are tempted to eat everyday.
The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They claim it's safe to eat in any amount.
How can they claim it is safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these?

Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in 1978. Both the medical research community and food "manufaturers" have known MSG's side effects for decades!
Many more studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to Diabetes,
Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's.
But what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?
Even as you read this, George W. Bush and his corporate supporters are pushing a Bill through Congress. Called the "Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act" also known as the "Cheeseburger Bill", this sweeping law bans anyone from suing food manufacturers, sellers and distributors. Even if it comes out that they purposely added an addictive chemical to their foods. Read about it for yourself at: http://www.yahoo.com.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news? tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040311/ap_on_go_co/obesity_lawsuits_4
The Bill has already been rushed through the House of Representatives, and is due for the same rubber stamp at Senate level. It is important that Bush and his corporate supporters get it through before the media lets everyone know about MSG, the intentional Nicotine for food.
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada. While sitting in the Government office, the official told him "Sure I know how bad MSG is, I wouldn't touch the stuff!" But this top level government official refused to tell the public what he knew.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing legal issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin.
So what do we do?
The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it.
Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive food additive.
But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice, what can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while guys like Bush are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us.
I for one am doing something about it.
I am sending this email out to everyone I know in an attempt to show you the truth that the corporate owned politicians and media won't tell you.
The best way you can help save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic, is to forward this email to everyone. With any luck, it will circle the globe before Bush can pass the Bill protecting those who poisoned us.
The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the whistle on Nicotine?
Blow the whistle on MSG.
If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us, and you don't believe what John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine, at www.pubmed.com
http://www.pubmed.com . Type in the words "MSG Obese", and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear.
We do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic, addicted sheep, waiting for the slaughter.
With your help we can put an end to this, and stop the Slow Poisoning of America. Let's save our children

Hidden Sources Of MSG In Foods
From the book 'Excitotoxins - The Taste That Kills'
By Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD
3-6-3
What if someone were to tell you that a chemical (MSG) added to food could cause brain damage in your children, and that this chemical could effect how your children's nervous systems formed during development so that in later years they may have learning or emotional difficulties?
What if there was scientific evidence that these chemicals could permanently damage a critical part of the brain known to control hormones so that later in life your child might have endocrine problems? How would you feel?
Suppose evidence was presented to you strongly suggesting that the artificial sweetener in your diet soft drink may cause brain tumors to develop, and that the number of brain tumors reported since the introduction of this widespread introduction of this artificial sweetener has risen dramatically? Would that affect your decision to drink these products and especially to allow your children to drink them? What if you could be shown overwhelming evidence that one of the main ingredients in this sweetener (aspartate) could cause the same brain lesions as MSG? Would that affect your buying decisions?
And finally, what if it could be demonstrated that all of these types of chemicals, called excitotoxins, could possibly aggravate or even precipitate many of today's epidemic neurodegenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS, and Alzheimer's disease? Would you be concerned if you knew that these excitotoxin food additives are a particular risk if you have diabetes, or have ever had a stroke, brain injury, brain tumor, seizure, or have suffered from hypertension, meningitis, or viral encephalitis?
Would you also be upset to learn that many of the brain lesions caused by these products in your children are irreversible and can result from a SINGLE exposure of these products in sufficient concentration?
How would you feel when you learn the food industry hides and disguises these excitotoxin additives (MSG and Aspartate) so they can't be recognized? Incredulous? Enraged? The fact is many foods are labeled as having "No MSG" but in fact not only contain MSG but also are laced with other excitotoxins of equal potency and danger.
All of the above are true. And all of these well known brain toxins are poured into our food and drink by the thousands of tons to boost sales. These additives have NO OTHER purpose other than to enhance to TASTE of food and the SWEETNESS of various diet products.
Hidden Sources Of MSG
As discussed previously, the glutamate (MSG) manufacturers and the processed food industries are always on a quest to disguise the MSG added to food. Below is a partial list of the most common names for disguised MSG. Remember also that the powerful excitotoxins, aspartate and L-cystine, are frequently added to foods and according to FDA rules require NO LABELING AT ALL.
* Food Additives that ALWAYS contain MSG *
Monosodium Glutamate
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
Hydrolyzed Protein
Hydrolyzed Plant Protein
Plant Protein Extract
Sodium Caseinate
Calcium Caseinate
Yeast Extract
Textured Protein (Including TVP)
Autolyzed Yeast
Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
Corn Oil
* Food Additives That FREQUENTLY Contain MSG *
Malt Extract
Malt Flavoring
Bouillon
Broth
Stock
Flavoring
Natural Flavors/Flavoring
Natural Beef Or Chicken Flavoring
Seasoning
Spices
* Food Additives That MAY Contain MSG Or Excitotoxins *
Carrageenan
Enzymes
Soy Protein Concentrate
Soy Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Concentrate
Also: Protease Enzymes of various sources can release excitotoxin amino acids from food proteins.
Aspartame - An Intense Source Of Excitotoxins
Aspartame is a sweetener made from two amino acids, phenylalanine and the excitotoxin aspartate. It should be avoided at all costs. Aspartame complaints accounts for approximately 70% of ALL complaints to the FDA. It is implicated in everything from blindness to headaches to convulsions. Sold under dozens of brand names such as NutraSweet and Equal, aspartame breaks down within 20 minutes at room temperature into several primary toxic and dangerous ingredients:
1. DKP (diketopiperazine) (When ingested, converts to a near duplicate of
a powerful brain tumor causing agent)
2. Formic Acid (ant venom)
3. Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
4. Methanol (causes blindness...extremely dangerous substance)
Common Examples:
Diet soft drinks, sugar free gums, sugar free Kool Aid, Crystal Light, childrens' medications, and thousands of other products claiming to be 'low calorie', 'diet', or 'sugar free'.
A Final Note...
Dr. Blaylock recounted a meeting with a senior executive in the food additive industry who told him point blank that these excitotoxins are going to be in our food no matter how many name changes are necessary...
The MSG is why i cannot eat low fat or fat free foods b/c i get paralyzing head pain. I found this website on line when i was looking for information on the salad in restaurants.

the same junk science that told us Vitamin C would keep us healthy in the 70's, bran would cure colon cancer in the 80's(which kept the wood chip companys in business) and avoid eggs...the list goes on & on...
HRT is wonderful, oops it kills you...
Vioxx is great...oops it kills you...
Oh and I like green lawns--weeds, grass, whatever, just as long as it has no stickers or fire ant mounds I am a happy camper....send out the son to mow and edge and I love it!!!

We were sitting in a left turn lane at large intersection in Winchester yesterday and two cars went right thru the red light for our straight lane! Now,the light wasn't "in the process" of turning red. IT WAS RED! And they just went right on thru! First a pickup and then a van! WTF?????
And then at the same intersection,the traffic to the right had the red( while the oncoming had the green) and a tractortrailer coming from the right went thru the red light!
Apparently,this is a usual occurance,because no one moved for like 5 seconds when their light turned.

Apparently,this is a usual occurance,because no one moved for like 5 seconds when their light turned.
I lived for years in Winchester and the red light running is a daily thing !!!
The traffic problem in Winchester is a result of a combination of issues. First you have a population increase and poor planning. For instance, take the new Wal-Mart. The modifications to the road should have been completed prior to Wal-Mart opening or shortly after. Depending on what time of the day it is, you can sit through 5 or 6 light changes trying to get on 37 or coming off of 37. Many people get frustrated and end up going through red lights.
Then you have the issue that drivers are frustrated because of population growth/poor planning as well as people who are just bad drivers. For instance, take trying to turn onto Pleasant Valley at the Jiffy Lube. You get a green light, but you can not proceed because of the drivers who have blocked the intersection trying to get through the light. By the time the light a Kmart turns green and traffic starts to move, your light is yellow/red. It’s a domino effect the whole way up Pleasant Valley.
Then you have the issue that drivers are frustrated because of population growth/poor planning as well as people who are just bad drivers. For instance, take trying to turn onto Pleasant Valley at the Jiffy Lube. You get a green light, but you can not proceed because of the drivers who have blocked the intersection trying to get through the light. By the time the light a Kmart turns green and traffic starts to move, your light is yellow/red. It’s a domino effect the whole way up Pleasant Valley.
mstubble--
I had a cartoon in my cubicle at an office with that on it & everyone laughed who saw it..it stayed up for years---then some reorg thing & some mucky-mucky told my superior idiot that it could be percieved as 'offensive' and so it had to go!
I concur--Winchester is a Royal Mess! I haven't been in maybe 5 months...but it is like Frederick--move and stop & stay stopped thru red light after red light because the intersectionis blocked by blockheads!!!

Man Driving Lawnmower Gets DUI
Vermilion, Ohio (AP) - Police said a drunk man drove a lawnmower to a store about a mile from his house. They arrested him on his way home.
Dondi Bowles, 50, was arrested Friday night as he drove the mower on a sidewalk.
Police said a breath test showed that Bowles' blood alcohol level was 0.144 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
It was his third DUI arrest in six months, they said.
The lawnmower was towed.

LMAO!!!!!! I guess he figured driving a lawnmower drunk didn't count. Third in six months? Probably didn't have his license and drove mower instead.
sounds like he really needs help,

We were hit my worms and trojans, the forum was taken down for a few days. Methinks the trojan came in via the shoutbox.. so the shoutbox may be a thing of the past.
As far as your avatar... some folks lost 'em for unknown (to me) reasons.
You'll just have to reload it Looky. Hey Yoss,I thought mauve was the color rose? i'm confused again
i'm confused again
Webbie said, shoutbox should be back on Monday, she is taking a well deserved 3 day weekend with her new hubby.

How do you remember all that stuff?? That show was on about 20 years ago!! My son had all the action figures and the Castle Greyskull, but that's about all I remember!

Anybody know anything about where to get skeet shooting lessons in Hagerstown??
I want to find a hobby for my 16 yr old and I to do together and I have always thought skeet shooting would be fun.
I have no rifle. So would need to rent one with the lessons. Any idea on the cost?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would contact one of the local Sportsman Associations in the area.
whats the name of that that rod and gun club? I would think they have lessons there
I know of the South Mountain Rod & Gun Club. It is over near Smithsburg.
ok, thanks. I'll make some calls.
that must be the one near me. I can hear them shoot and when they have concerts i can hear the bands
Got another question. Different topic.
