Have an easy delivery, Burrell!
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Trust my rage
Due to my current inability to handle chemicals and Joe's deployment, I'd been looking for some lawn guys to come fertilize the lawn, cut the grass, and spread some mulch. My lawn is not that large - I bet it would take 45 minutes to cut the grass.
This morning, two guys, referred to me by a neighbor, came to my house and offered to do what I needed for $250. I told the guy there was no way I'd pay that much, but I would pay $150. I have to say that I still think I'm paying way too much. I'm doing it because the weeds are driving me crazy and I don't want to do it myself because of the chemicals involved, but still...seems like a lot of money. I've never had lawn work done before and I guess this is why.

Could you hire a teenager to come and spread the fertilizer and then do the non-chemical stuff yourself?

Aw, Hec, very cool. Would make me want to lurk again, but I'd have to shut up, so, nsm. I don't understand people who are curious enough to do that, but don't join in, but then not everyone is a feedback fiend like me. Best wishes for the Burrells. ETA: I'm completely physically healthy again, but last night was plagued with worrying thoughts, so mentally I'm still a "Disneyland of the human heart"(that has to be my earliest H:LOTS reference ever.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fear of not being cool? or of being ignored?

Oh, except for the Rules trainwreck, back in the day.I didn't join that because the thought of a lobotomy freaked me out.Y'all lurkers, if I am here, how high can the cool bar be? Working my low self-esteem in a good cause since 2001.

Now tagless for your comfort.
And then when we were packing up, a very nice, lovely woman approached me and asked me to sign her book. Then she said, "Actually I'm a lurker who supports you in email."
Too. Fucking. Cool.
Hi, Dee, if you're lurking.
easy-induction/delivery-ma for Burrell.

She said she'd been lurking on the boards since back in the TT days, and was in town for the event and decided to swing by. Made my night
That is SO cool!

I think once the first batch of chemical stuff is done, I should be able to do all future mowing, etc. The funny thing is, I actually thought this guy was a teenager/early 20s guy...my friend who referred this guy is a professor at a local community college and he described this guy as a student. He probably is a student, but he also mentioned that he's a grandfather.
In my experience, some people find out DH is deployed and what to charge me way less. Others find out he's not here and want to charge me more. I guess it all balances out in the end.
