oh, my hubby got one of those the other day. it's awesome!!! even the
garbage man jumped out of his truck when he saw my hubby out there cutting
the grass with it. he even asked if he could do a row! it was pretty funny
watching the garbage man mow our yard. i'm sure the neighbors were
wondering how much extra we pay for *that* particular service. :-D

yeah those are cool
my ex-wife bought one once.........this one wasn't too great, the blade had
worn out right smack in the middle........from uneven filing
didn't take me long to break down and buy a gas mower
but i remember my granddad using one, as well as my own folks............
i guess it all depends just how much ya have 't mow
my dad once built this contraption for hauling a buncha ***** up in the
mountains on the trails, took 2 guys...........
he called it "the mechanical horse"
didn't take long before my brother and i decided "it was the mechanical, and
you were the horse"...........

Wow, I usually use things like that as an excuse not to do work...you
should have just gone to Target, bought a nice Hoover, done your thing
and returned it. No, that's unethical...plus I like the visual of you
working the hand tool on all fours in nothing but a white t...dammit I
think I made that part up. High heels?

i can't afford a new vacuum at the moment or i'd sure do that. we do have a
maintenance warranty on the dumb thing though, so my hubby is off to Best
Buy at the moment to yell at them to fix the stupid thing right this time.
this is the 3rd time it's been in the shop!
my t-shirt is grey, btw. and i don't think high heels would look too good
with the grey shorts i'm wearing with it. :D

feet
of house with the HAND TOOL portion of my vacuum. the self propel part of
my vacuum broke and it won't push at all, so i had to use the hand tools.
omg does my back hurt!!!!

:D

Wow, I usually use things like that as an excuse not to do work...you
should have just gone to Target, bought a nice Hoover, done your thing
and returned it. No, that's unethical...plus I like the visual of you
working the hand tool on all fours in nothing but a white t...dammit I
think I made that part up. High heels?


i can't afford a new vacuum at the moment or i'd sure do that. we do have a
maintenance warranty on the dumb thing though, so my hubby is off to Best
Buy at the moment to yell at them to fix the stupid thing right this time.
this is the 3rd time it's been in the shop!

my t-shirt is grey, btw. and i don't think high heels would look too good
with the grey shorts i'm wearing with it. :D


gray t-shirt contest!

the local humane society runs a thrift shop to benefit the shelter. i
had some stuff to drop off, so i went down today. i left with 4 books
and a reel/push lawnmower for $28 total.


oh, my hubby got one of those the other day. it's awesome!!! even the
garbage man jumped out of his truck when he saw my hubby out there cutting
the grass with it. he even asked if he could do a row! it was pretty
funny watching the garbage man mow our yard. i'm sure the neighbors were
wondering how much extra we pay for *that* particular service. :-D


yeah those are cool

my ex-wife bought one once.........this one wasn't too great, the blade had
worn out right smack in the middle........from uneven filing
didn't take me long to break down and buy a gas mower

but i remember my granddad using one, as well as my own folks............

i guess it all depends just how much ya have 't mow

my dad once built this contraption for hauling a buncha ***** up in the
mountains on the trails, took 2 guys...........
he called it "the mechanical horse"
didn't take long before my brother and i decided "it was the mechanical, and
you were the horse"...........

i have a gas mower too but it lives in my garage and the only access
from the garage to my backyard is down a couple of stairs and around a
tight turn. the going down part is ok, it's the going back up part
that's a pita. the obvious answer would be a ramp but because of the
layout, it's really not possible.
hopefully this will make things much easier. it cuts very nicely. i'll
just have to keep on top of things better because i'm thinking it
wouldn't do so hot cutting down a field :p
maybe i should invest in a scythe. or goats :p
