    How about the ones for cordless drills?

    Just bought this and absolutely love it! Can't wait to try it out.


    And

    I bought this to put up a shelf. It performed flawlessly! Really like the color.

    To each their own. I prefer divots as opposed to losing every single flower, as well as a good amount of foliage in the yard for 2-3 months as the Japanese beetles strip everything. my lawn is mostly weeds and was never very nice to begin with, and I don't care. My gardens and potted plants are where I put my money and attention to so I would like to keep my visual rewards. I don't use poison insect controls, so can live with what nature has provided in this case.

    I almost got to pet one once in a campground. It was chilly when we got there so I started a fire. Judy on one side and me on other; just a small fire but it felt good. She suddenly said, very calmly that I should be very careful with my feet and don't reach down. Son of a gun. I looked down and a two toned pussy cat was right between my feet and looking right up at me! :bug: I just stood still and said Hello to it then continued talking to Judy. After several minutes it walked over and under our van. Was gone time we were ready to sack out. No harm done.

    Yeah. Eat those grubs! Better this way versus moles after them and making a mess.

    I have a beef with my beef supplier.

    We're friendly including hugs if we see eachother in person. We met from school activities and we bought her beef. Sad story, a couple or few years ago they had a chimney fire, OMG her husband went back in and did not make it back out. I can't say what happened in there but we all know he was morbidly obese, the rest of the family was also heavy to very heavy.

    She stopped answering any calls or texts back thenwhich is understandable, but has not since then either... I asked her for 1/4 beef on facebook and said she has us down from my text and previous orders. I responded we want 80%n no answer. Not the 90% like the last two orders in which I also requested 80 but she delivered 90 :confused: We've been cooking/eating down the last the beef cuts and supplementing with 80% butcher ground beef lately and I do not want to go through a bunch or 90 again. I don't know about weight loss but I won't pay for ground beef that I cannot cook to my standard, and 90 falls way to short of that.

    I messaged her AGAIN tonight to ensure she can get us 80 or we may not buy nor pay, and I need her new cell # ,or she needs to answer either method. I pray she does answer but fear I'll not hear a word till she shows up unannounced with 90% ground beef like she's done in the past two years in a row.

    She's a widow with 3 kids and a small cattle ranch. What should be my next step?

    Thanks.

    right now they’ve all been pretty decent. Just been focusing on the next load of beans. Seems to be working.

    seems harsh, I would write back and simply cancel the order.

    People in your life…

    As long as its all documented... and 90% comes... I'd reject it and not pay...Sorry not we agreed on... But on a side note .... Why do you like 80% vs. 90%? Just curious.... I buy 90-93 most of the time... A lot less grease and too me its been better quality meat than the 80% ... but thats store bought stuff...

    Chvymn99 huge difference between store burger and raised burger;
    90% raised is hard to form into burger; impossible to to make a meat ball

    Took a work trip to Kalamazoo on Wednesday...Drove about 10 miles in Indiana and hit a pot hole the size of a kiddie pool, I was passing a semi, hit the hole and it threw the truck all over the road. Luckily, somehow it stayed in my lane and didn't kill the trucker or myself, but I bet his butt puckered the same as mine!

    Moral of the story...Don't drive in Indiana!! LOL

    It sounds like she has had a rough time. Still, from her actions and cutting communications, if the product does not meet your standards, it is time to find another supplier. If she is not willing to communicate and then not deliver as ordered, I would not accept nor would I order again.
