Is it worth it? (Part 15)

 Topic: Veggie Garden

Ok, time to wind this conversation down. And for that, we head back outside, one final time. 

Pros: All the fresh veggies you can eat. Fresh veggies are the best. Fact. 

Cons: Work, work and more work. Again, it may be nice, but you have to put a lot in to get a lot out. 

Verdict: Yes. Hook me up. We had one growing up and I loved it. 

What would I grow?

Squash, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and egg plant. Does corn grow in Louisiana? If so, add that too. I LOVE fresh veggies. This has WAY more of a payoff than a flower garden to me. It'd be hard work yes. But if I had help getting it started, I'd follow through taking care of it, just to reap the benefits. YUM!

Ok folks, that's it. No more. Change of topic(s) next week, I promise. 

Tootles. 

Is it worth it? (Part 14)

 Topic: Home Theater

Ok...I'm breaking format here. Who am I kidding. Where is the "con" here people? My man Mikey had one at his house and it was a lovely thing to behold. The only reason Wrestlemania was special to me was because I had the honor of his company, watching it on his amazing screen and surround sound. Complete heaven.

Before he took it down, I had SOOOO many movies I wanted to watch there. But alas, time got away from me (as it often does) and I was never able to make the plans to watch anything while he had it up. I miss it. I wish I had one. I know the top movies I'd watch. 

1) Star Wars Trilogy (OG)

2) Jurassic Park Trilogy (screw Jurassic World)

3) Godzilla Minus One (and even the 90s version which I love so very much)

Plus tons of movies from the 80s and 90s as well. Who wouldn't want to see a life size Wolfman get kicked in the nards? Am I right??? 

Is it worth it? (Part 13)

Topic: Flower garden

Time to head back to the great outdoors today and consider if this is worth it. 

Pros: Your yard looks amazing and is the envy of the neighborhood. The local newspaper probably even comes by and takes a picture of it. Or you send one in for a competition that you're always going to win. As we said in the 90s "I'm not gay but..." flowers are pretty and they smell good too. 

Cons: Work, work, work. Yes, they look nice. But there's a reason. This becomes the sole core of your life. People poor endless hours into these gardens and have little time for anything else. 

Verdict: Nope. Not worth all the work that goes into it. Sorry. I'll take pictures and compliment you on yours but the only thing that'll be growing in my backyard (and saying that is not gay) is weeds and grass. Now leave me alone and let me shop for scented candles at Bath and Body Works!! 

Ok, that last line was a little gay, I'll give you that. (also its true, man I love me a scented candle...and the annual candle sale IS my Black Friday make no doubt about it)

I digress....
 

Is it worth it? (Part 12)

Topic: Home Gym

Pros: You have no excuse NOT to work out. No more "it's too cold" or "It's too late" or "It's raining" or "I just killed a hooker and now I don't know where to bury her body or what to do with her pet cat" NO excuses. You'd always have a home gym right there in your house.

Cons: I'd sure that floor is going to take a beating if you're throwing around weights in there. Plus I'm sure the sweat would give off an awful funky smell over time. Also I have to think about any incidents involving kids, so there's that. 

Verdict: Oh heck yeah! All day! I'll find a place to hide the dead hooker later, I'm going to pump some iron baby!!! I'd have a treadmill, elliptical, dumb bells and one of those all-in-one sets that have a bench, shoulders and legs workout on them. It would totally rock.  
 

Is it worth it? (Part 11)

 Ok, how many weeks can I keep this up? Here goes...

Topic: Hedge Maze

Pros: Get lost for hours, find the center, where's there a fountain, or pool or minotaur with an axe ready to chop your head off. 

Cons: Can you imagine the upkeep on this thing?? Geez to frag, I bet you'd have to trim it every month at least. Plus, can someone say bees?? I bet this thing would get infested with wasps and hornet's nests in no time flat. And who wants to be pulling weeds all day long? PLUS after a few days, wouldn't you and anyone who came over, know how to walk through the maze? You'd have to uproot, replant and change the maze every 2 months at the most to make it challenging. And who'd want to do all that??

Verdict: I would. Bring it. Yes. I want one. (with a minotaur carrying an axe ready to chop your head off when you reach the center) 

Phorm: Screamin' Eagle

 The name alone made me buy it. 

Same price as Ghost. Not bad. But drink it cold. Not very good when it loses it's cool. (literally) Does it replace Ghost? 

No. But I wouldn't mind getting another one every now and again. Been a while since I've said that, so it's quite the compliment for an energy drink. 

Is it worth getting? (Part 10)

Today's topic: Secret panel (room)

Pros: You can have a spare bedroom or game room hidden away, without anyone knowing it was even there. 

Cons: There are no cons, are you kidding me??? This thing would be pretty sweet!!

Verdict: Go back and look at the cons.

I'd love this so much. Mine would be a bookshelf and a book you'd pull to release the latch that lets you into the room. It'd be super cool. I saw a house that had a "secret" panel door that lead to a large closet. I say "secret" because everyone knew about it, but still I always thought it was super cool. And my sister has a hidden panel that opens up from the hallway straight into the kitchen. Why? I don't know, that house was built in the 60s and even has a "courtyard" that the house surrounds in the center. (odd but kinda cool) 

Oh geez... I lied. I just thought of several other cool things to talk about, so I'll be back at this next week. 

Chow. 
 

Is it worth getting? (Part 9)

 Today's topic: Gazebo

Time to get out of the bathroom and back outside (nature's other place boys call "bathroom") for this edition of "Is it worth it?"

Pros: Nice to sit outside and chill. But in Louisiana you better get a net to block mosquitoes or you'll never use it. 

Cons: It's hot as balls here in Louisiana. Would I even use it this much??

Verdict: Shockingly....yeah. I think I would. I mean, add a space heater in the winter a few tower fans in the shower and NEVER draw back the netting and I think it wouldn't be so bad. I don't even need a pool either. I think it'd be nice. Sure I wouldn't use it much but who cares? Sometimes outside time is just fun. 

Ok, one more tomorrow and I'm done. I promise.
