Tree spunk you say? Is it a cottonwood? Those things never stop dropping things. In the spring it's the sticky seeds with the sticky spunk, then later on in Spring its the damn cotton, then their leaves are all waxy and don't mulch down well.

No, I don't think it is....it's just big, green and spunking over our car. A lot.

Can't be as I see you're in MA. Cottonwoods are a western US nuisance.

I really hate when I'm doing something team based and:

1. Someone is slacking, hard

-The more invested I am, the angrier I get. But when I'm less invested i can stay calm and try to help them out, which leads to peeve 2


2. When I give someone lagging behind advice and they don't take it

-if their actions only affect them, whatever. But as a team effort? ugh

My phone is more functional than a tablet? :confused: .... I'm glad I have never bought a tablet. That is about to change though, as little Miss P needs one for school starting in August. :rolleyes:

No. I lack the patience to do such things unless I'm in front of a computer (like now).

Btw, phone? I'd rather shoot myself in the face than do this (or anything) on a phone. :D

In the last 33 months since I became active on BE again, and I have posted, I think, around 13,000 posts, less than 100 of which have been made using anything but an Android phone. :lol:

My phone gets used (extensively) for email, VERY occasionally answering a phone call and Weather Rabbit.

Oh, and the camera gets some use too, especially for helping me read serial numbers on stuff. :D

That's about it. There is NOTHING that would induce me to go onto the internet with it.

I think I might just have you there (although I can see your aversion to the bottom app), mobile apps at their best:

Of course, mobile app use / browsing does run the risk of exposure to some really nasty obscene material:



And some stuff which may well result in, ahem, sticky fingers:
