My Grandmother had a saying....

If something doesn't work, hit it with a hammer!

My Grandfather came home for lunch one day, to find her hitting the washing machine with a hammer because it didn't work. He discovered it had become unplugged!

My Ex-Fiancée had a pickup truck that had a sticky solenoid in the starter. When it didn't start, I would pop the hood, take a hammer, hit the starter 5 or 6 times and it would start right up. (Eventually, I got tired of this and just had the starter replaced.)

Last night at exactly 11:00PM the smoke detector in the hallway started to "BEEP" every 5 minutes! I barely got any sleep! This morning all was well! (I thought it was the alarm system.)

Tonight, at exactly 11:00PM, It started Beeping again! I'm NOT losing sleep 2 nights in a row! EVERY Friggin' 5 minutes, BEEP!

So I remembered what my old Granny used to say. "Hit it with a hammer!"

My hammer won't reach, but I have a 4 foot long, dow rod! I took that rod and whacked the smoke detector! Now it's just hanging from some wires, but it stopped it's infernal Beeping! :p

So I called a neighbor and he came over with a stool. But it wasn't tall enougt to change out the battery. So he went and got another neighbor who had a taller stool.

So here's my 73 year old house keeper laughing her ass off, at the site of 3 adult males trying to change out 1, 9 volt battery! :rolleyes:

And then tonight, it dawns on me. We should have changed out the other 2, because sure as poo, they will die soon! :lol:

    • Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!
    • Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.
    • I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
