tictoc5150 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hey Marty,I read the post about the system tray, and while I think it is a little strange, I'm all for changing things to how I want them...maybe he has a clock widget...maybe he doesn't care to see what programs are running or have the functionality of r-clicking an icon...lolI think his question was answered about as well as it could be...by turning of the clock and a regedit you can make it damn near gone but it's still there....I don't think it's possible to completely remove it without consequences.

thesidekickcat Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 We like Honda lawn mowers alot. In fact my hubby wont buy anything else. Our first one lasted over 20 years. Our newest one is a couple of years old and doing fine. They are tough, and able to mow over rough ground (such as the alley mix of gravel and weeds and high/low spots) and high grass, even wet grass. My hubby used to do several neighborhood seniors' yards besides ours, now just does two. By the way, one of my hubby's favorite fall things is to use the mower to clean up fallen leaves, wet or dry, from yard, sidewalk and street. Shows up the neighbors with their rakes, and blowers. It is so much easier to use the mower, quieter too, to shred/pick them up and the mower bag makes it easy to dump them in our garden for winter mulch. We also use the grass clippings for garden as we don't use harmful chemicals in yard. So it all enriches the garden. As for the goat idea, we had goats on our small farm when I was a kid. They are great at eating brush, blackberries, even poison ivy/oak. In fact I have read that if they eat the poison ivy/oak that the milk helps you build up an immunity to those things. I think it must be so, as I have only had a couple of tiny blisters from poison oak in all the years of gardening, hiking, and blackberry/huckleberry picking that I have done in areas infested with both of them. As for the goats eating grass, ours didn't like it as well as brush, only ate it as a last resort. The neighbors' sheep liked grass better, but chewed it down to the bare ground. God bless everyone.
