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:

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
