I'm currently checking my temperature because I just defended @DustinB3403's right to be an asshole..
Just finished lunch and now I'm laughing at the diatribe.
Back to the grind, people need my services.

Just got the kids a new TV for their bedroom. 55" 1080p, mostly for playing video games.

My kids are hardly ever off their screens... Youtube on the laptop, something video on iPad.. or Xbox... Way to much electronic radiation ,... but it's also about 25deg outside... and no snow.. so nothing to really do.
sigh,.. in my day- we had to split wood so we didn't freeze... different times.

back then.. yea,.. b ut that was.... nearly 40 years ago.. now I have a ventless gas, and will likely add one more for the basement. I so miss a true fireplace. and yes,.. sometimes the wood splitting.

Wood splitting is a good way to vent stress.
No one would dare talk to someone who's pissed and with an axe in their hands.

A chain saw just makes it so you can't hear them. That works too.

You split wood with a maul, not an axe.
Using an axe to split wood is just stupid, requiring the axe to be resharpened more than necessary. For small amounts, I won't argue that most homeowners will just use an axe though.
And yes, I do know as I did it for a living for 3 months in 1991 in Bellingham, Washington. Lumberjack, firewood splitting, transport of cords of wood.

Quite true,.. a maul or sledge and wedge.. Axe for limbing or felling...

@JaredBusch While I agree, most people aren't going to be able to tell you the difference.

My god is it difficult to find a non-stupid image of an axe.
Take that image for whatever it is worth.

I'm starting to think my daughter's stomach bug has gotten to me. Not feeling so hot at the moment.

Oof, that was me last week. Drink lots of water.

@LilAng she was throwing up for about a day his Friday/Saturday (nothing overnight) and I'm feeling the same sort of stomach pushes that would induce that.
Nothing to the point of making my go, but definitely there.

Kids TV is getting mounted right now.

My kids are not getting a TV in their rooms any time soon.
The TV in the family room is open for their use all evening until bed time. They rarely want to use it. Preferring to use their phone or laptop. If they had a TV in their bedroom, they would very likely use it instead of their devices.
Right now it is still too much of a challenge to get them to keep their rooms organized to a state that we are happy with.
Also, sadly, a 55" would be way too big in either of their rooms. Just too small.

That's the issue here, that one is never available. not for them, nor for me.
