As part of my kitchen remodel I took down a wall mount for a phone. Need to finish the mudding and texture it.

Remember the old answering machines that used a mini cassette tape? Outgoing message was first, then it had to fast forward to end of the last msg to start recording.

The fancy ones had 2 tapes so there was no fast forward.

My lawn is sooo fucked.

It has been neglected for a very long time and is starting to oxidize, which causes trenching and sinkholes.

Got any ideas?

Here's what I'm thinking for fall:
Aeration to break up compacted soil.
Apply dairy compost because it's cheap. (Add gypsum to help leech sodium.)
Apply a LOT of sugar water to stimulate biology, rate = 5 lbs / acre

What do you think?

OK but you can't see how uneven it is from pics. The sinkholes and trenches are severe...

Pro tip, wash your blender (not just rinse) between the dried shrimp and the strawberry margarita.

'One date ... and now I'm being sued': Woman sues man for $10K for standing her up on a date

A Michigan woman who sued a man for $10,000 for standing her up on a date got into a heated argument with a judge in a scene captured on video.

"To be honest with you, sir, I thought this was just going to be thrown out," he told the judge. "We had a date – one date – and nothing else after that and now I’m being sued for $10,000. I don’t think this is going to go any further, and I think it’s a waste of your time."

QaShontae H. Short filed a $10,000 lawsuit on Sept. 10, 2020 in Michigan against a man who she said stood her up for a date. She claimed the experience caused her emotional distress because the date fell on her late mother's birthday.

Legal docs, obtained by TMZ, show she first filed this suit back in 2020 ... and in it, she alleges Richard deliberately and intentionally hurt her when he "did not show and left on [her] mother's birthday and [her] mom had just passed away."

Full court video.
