Damp cut grass is pretty gross Other than that I don't mind cut grass eithe

evenstar3 said:

so what do you guys do for landscaping out there? rake the sands? water the cacti with an eye dropper?

karmatornado said:

I've raked some leaves and stuff. Pfft

Zogmuffin said:

YEAH! i think those bastards are responsible for the whole landscaping phenomenon!!

ThreadCula said:

Two words and an emoticon: bitch, please,

ThreadCula said:

Raking leaves is weak! You gotta do the yeomans work!

sinisterpentatonic said:

It's fantastic. You outta see our lawns!

ThreadCula said:

i think you're more appreciated in the kitchen.

sinisterpentatonic said:

SO have you ever buckled up and mowed a lawn?

sinisterpentatonic said:

Mulberry trees and random bushes.

We had roses and other flowers in planters too! Just no grass.

sinisterpentatonic said:

well yes, but you soon won't be able to get out your front door any more

evenstar3 said:

From what I hear you eat dust and put children in meat grinders too.

Zogmuffin said:

sure and we'll hire threadcula, evenstar and AnckSuNamun to manicure them.

Zogmuffin said:

Yeah I know...the rain where I live now (central california) freaks me out with how heavy it is, I imagine England would be very weird.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Anything to get evenstar on her knees is fine by me.


I mean - yeah! all 3 of em working the lawns or something like that yeah yeah..

I gotta big old lemon tree in the back thats kinda cool but I hate when the lemons fall off and rot in the grass

sinisterpentatonic said:

It wasn't even a push mower either Do you know how long it'd take with a push mower. All damn day My dad's kinda particular how he wants the grass cut My brother used to have go back over spots he had missed. Only my dad could tell that he missed them....that's how funny he was about the grass. If I lived in an actual house and lived alone, then I'd have no choice but to cut the grass. I think I'd go broke paying someone to do it on a regular basis.

evenstar3 said:

just like you.

My first job was mowing the lawn for Grandma. I must be the shortest person in history to push a lawnmower.(3rd grade) Then came pulling the weeds, then digging little grooves along the driveway with a shovel for appearance's sake. the list is endless and it was the most quality time I had with her, (other than making tortolini). A buck an hour. I can remember her yelling out the door to stop raking the grindup from the lawnmower (it helps fertilize the grass to keep it there) I thought I was using initiative.
Where'd all the energy go??

I currently have a gardner. I used to dust knicknacks for her, too...have a housekeeper.

It literally rains cats and dogs. People don't go outside when it's raining for fear of having a Labrador fall on your head.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Hey,I had to rake leaves too I'm not totally useless when it comes to yardwork.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Thats not all I'll manicure!!

sinisterpentatonic said:

I love the smell too. Reminds me of why child labor laws were made, outside of family, of course.

xplnyrslf said:

I too am a fan, though I have yet to think of a reason why.

But going back to my question,,I don't need a bunch of org women who can't do shit as far as landscaping goes to do my lawn,, should I get a lawn service?

karmatornado said:

Take the lemons when they're still good, juice them and put them in ice cube trays for future cooking needs.

AnckSuNamun said:

well you don't HAVE to cut it, i've had neighbors like that. and their lawn would get so bad that someone on the block would cut just because it was an eye sore.

Oh if you're ever in a situation where you have to mow the lawn, don't wear your nice sneakers.
