While that’s true, the REAL point is that conservatives need to accept the double standard and conduct themselves accordingly, that is: DON”T #$%% around, because you WILL be called to account as a huge hypocrite. The Dems are NOT hypocrites, they are NOT social conservatives, they think NOTHING of *ing around. but they will call conservatives on not living up to the conservative’s own standards.
i really like the look she has planned out, it has an optional water feature etc. we will have to do it in stages, because of the expense. but, of course, you know i am thinking, what with the end times imminent, what’s the point! LOL!
men are penile about it, though, whyisa! you want your yard to look nice. they want their yards to look NICER THAN THE NEIGHBORS!
I would love to be able to do that here - When I see pics from my old neighborhood I am reminded of that landscaping style.... ;^) I love water features - love to hear the water splashing..
I used to be more competitive but now I just want it to look good and not die trying to keep it that way!
From my breast I peeled
The burd’n armour
And in repose lay doun
‘pon sward cool and green
Sword napping at my side
And watched Mighty Sol close his eyes
One more time
I don’t really care if my lawn looks better than my neighbors. I couldn’t keep up. One neighbor is a school bus driver who is off for the summer, one is retired with nothing better to do and one is a cop who works nights. I just want the grass to be short enough that I don’t lose sight of my dogs. I’m very satisfied with my lawn service. I never see them and they always cut the lawn when it needs it.
If it were totally up to me, I’d have astroturf, or rocks.
who has dogfertilizer control? you are the yard folks?
I looked around and said......which neighbors have to fuss all summer long and which ones do nothing and still look good? I spotted the landscaping that looked great and I only saw her out there at the beginning of the season fussing.....and I planted similar stuff.
I’m not seeing the Dems lack of hypocrisy here, are they saying that they are the pro-adultery party? I don’t see it in there platform anywhere
With Obama’s newly created or saved jobs, lots of new careers are beginning. You can find Clerkineers, Doctoroadcrews, Janitanalysts, Enteprenailtechs, Mortgagebakers, and even Lawncaregivers to trim the sward. One can hope that soon we will have a newly created or saved job for a Presidentalhygienist!
President Obama is writing a new chapter of American history. That is Chapter 13.
:^)

Unfortunately our plants/grass down here is NOT no fuss.... everything grows well for a very long growing season.....
the dems ARE the party of have sex and kill the baby afterwards.....
I made one little error in judgment.....the overhang across the front of the house....I STILL have to water daily those specimens that are under it and it rains daily here these days.....even IN the rain I must go out and water.....poor planning on my part....poor indeedy.
the problem was that my roof gets WIDER toward the peak and narrows out again.......I failed to look UP when planning.
“Sanford sward he was sorry.” or “Rat pills!,” he sward.
LOL

I complained to the landscaper that his guys didn’t cut the lawn and the boss got his employees together and sward at them.
