Welcome, Shir!
Thanks, guys. I would have been totally okay with a redesign of the garden, just not a hostile takeover.
Allyson, I think you just answered your own (unasked) question about the best revenge on the asshat. Let him redesign the garden and then make sure that you invite a steady stream of people to sit out there and make sure he can't enjoy it.
Signed, I can sing the first line of a show tune and then hum the rest ad infinitum while sitting next to him and if he asks me to stop that I can start using whatever is handy as a bongo drum.

These are much more up my alley, though: [link]

Seriously, I never took full advantage of the highly refined and delicious evil that is Sparky when she was living here. I feel bereft!
So, JZ, would you really "Take any motherfucker's money, if they giving it away?"
As of 11:40 last Tuesday morning, fuck yeah!
Send asshat the flamingos and gnomes and inflatable things, but lay off the reflecting balls; they're really kind of cool, and he is unworthy.

I'm available for consult via Internet at all hours. And I'll be out to visit in May. Point me in the direction of your ex-employers...
I totally feel you on that, JZ.
Completely random laundry question: I have a pair of (oldish, already much-washed) jeans that are maybe an inch long and maybe an inch loose in the waist; if I tossed them in a warm wash instead of cold, would they shrink up just a wee little bit, or would I end up with jeans that are way too short and tight?
Do you machine dry them already?
I doubt hot water and hot drying would shrink an old pair of jeans by an inch.
I almost always wash my jeans in warm. I'm not sure it makes much difference.
