Do you mow your own yard?
 
I mow my own. After having several years of renting and not having one, I enjoy yardwork.

What do you do?

a1t3r3g0 04-21-2003 07:41 PM

I live in a college dorm room... what yard? :)

After moving to Texas from Arizona - my grass of choice is <i>still</i> rock. Not the best thing for resale value here, though.

Yeah - I cut it myself. Never had any kids, so I'm stuck with the job.

Mow Your Own Way

by Farm and Fleetwood Mac

Mowing you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I
ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe I'd fertilize your roots
How can I
When you won't take it from me

Do you mow your own yard
Mow your own yard
You can call me
Another lonely 'tard
Do you mow your own yard
Mow your own yard

Tell me why
Everything turned to brown
Giving up
Sprinkling's all you wanna do

If I could
Baby I'd give you my mulch
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can mow your own way
Mow your own way
You can call it
Another lonely hay
You can mow your own way
Mow your own way


(with apologies to Lindsey Buckingham)


oh and, I mow my own.

degrawj 04-21-2003 08:03 PM

if i had a yard, i would mow it myself. but of course, that assumes i would have to own a lawnmower first.

SexyCat 04-21-2003 08:24 PM

Yard?? What is this thing?? I live in an apartment.

hotzot 04-21-2003 08:57 PM

mowing sux but I do it.

G_Whiz 04-21-2003 08:59 PM

I mow, but then I have a very small lawn. Actually, I'm getting ready to till it up and sod a new one.

GreasyP 04-21-2003 09:02 PM

Yard? My "yard" consists of about a foot of grass behind the house, a small concrete lip, and then a loooooonnng drop down a sheer cliff to the back yard of the house below mine. And they're building a pool right below my bedroom window as we speak. Wheee!!

Frosstbyte 04-21-2003 09:15 PM

Nope. Someone else does it for me. I guess it's part of the rent. Quite convenient, really. Ah...laziness.

SecretMethod70 04-21-2003 09:48 PM

College apartment. When I'm at home though my parents gave up trying to get me to do it so they started hiring some people to do landscaping. Not much to landscape so it doesn't cost too much.

snowy 04-21-2003 10:30 PM

College apt as well...but when I'm home I mow :) It's good exercise!

Ashton 04-21-2003 11:25 PM

Hell No! thats what Gardeners are for.....

rabidy 04-21-2003 11:36 PM

i mow it, 80(

World's King 04-21-2003 11:40 PM

When I had a yard (before it died) I mowed it... my mother made me.

uncle phil 04-22-2003 03:10 AM

i have almost an acre of lawn; i have to mow it...don't trust the neighborhood kids with gas-powered machinery...

ARTelevision 04-22-2003 04:08 AM

Yes, I do. A bunch of the folks in my neighborhood have yard/landscaping services - you never see them outdoors, working in the yard.
I would never do that. Working outdoors on yard and landscape stuff is great exercise and gets you out in nature. Some luxuries are better eschewed in favor of the DIY way.

alpha phi 04-22-2003 04:24 AM

I used to love to mow the yard, and be outside.
However after being stung over 100 times by a swarm of yellowjackets, and winding up in the hospital, I am now alergic to everything outside.
I still try once in a while......then suffer for the next week!!
I miss outsidehttp://www.chatbites.com/iB_html/non...ticons/cry.gif

Daval 04-22-2003 05:17 AM

i live in a new subdivision in a new house, so no grass yet! When they finally give me grass though I'll certainly do my own yardwork

Binder 04-22-2003 06:13 AM

i love cutting the grass, i have just over an acre. its my time alone.

duckduck 04-22-2003 10:08 AM

When I'm home, yeah.............all 3 acres of it (it stretches out around our barns and all our other buildings). Let's just say our lawn mower is a bit bigger than your average ones.

Fly 04-22-2003 10:44 AM

Sion.....fuckin' great play on words there....mow your own way hehe

yup i'm a mower,don't like it much but hey,it's gotta be done .

paddyjoe 04-22-2003 01:19 PM

you really think my old lady's gonna do it?

Unknown Poster 04-22-2003 01:24 PM

I mow my own, 1 1/2 acres.

troit 04-22-2003 02:54 PM

Actual like to do the yard work... must be crazy or something.

pickledaddy 04-22-2003 03:05 PM

I mow and it's terrible in the TN humidity.

RAMONES!!! 04-22-2003 05:26 PM

it sure is cool having someone do it for you, but it gets to fucking expensive$$$

apetaster 04-22-2003 05:28 PM

Me, my tractor and a good book on tape.

Sion 04-22-2003 09:57 PM

thanks flyman

Baricua2782 04-22-2003 10:55 PM

i wish i had a yard to mow

KillerYoda 04-22-2003 11:24 PM

My parents make me.

sapiens 04-23-2003 01:24 PM

I rent. So, no mowing, but I do water the lawn and the plants. I'm looking forward to owning a home someday and mowing my own yard.

Zotz 04-28-2003 09:32 AM

I mow mine but three of my neighbors are trying to create their very own jungle by not mowing theirs.

Peetster 04-28-2003 12:13 PM

Really good, Sion! I was singing along in my head as I read your mown lyrics. :-)

My kid does it to earn extra coin.

Giant Hamburger 04-28-2003 12:40 PM

<p>I am finally a homeowner so I mow with pride.</p> <img src="http://www.meteorite.com/articles/Hunt10-00/Lawnmower.jpg"><br /></font></p>
