I have a question though: Why do you all need yard men? Don't any of you get out and do it yourself?

I like to work in my yard and see the results of my hard work. It's a great stress reliever and OH is lost if there is nothing need doing outside...he usually starts a new project then.
I do most of my own work. But, if I'm away to Michigan in the summer, he takes care of it.

I however do NOT fell large trees, move giant rocks, etc. So for some big projects I can sure use the help.

The same fellow also plows snow in the winter (I have maybe a 200 foot driveway, before anyone asks me why I don't shovel it ) And delivers firewood, etc.

I agree though, some yardwork is fun.

That's why it's good to have a "yard man" who is paid in kind

I feel the Southern US states won't get better until they realize prejudice gets nowhere.

hasta maƱana !

So, you've spoken to everybody in Texas about this?

Generalizations based on your limited experiences are worth **** all.

But the OP said "some Texans". That doesn't sound like 80-100 mill to me.

"some Brits" hate Muslims .... still for the life of me I can't see any reason to start a thread titled:

Why do Brits hate Muslims?
