I've been getting dirty looks from the men in my neighborhood the past few days...
...during the last three days, I've mowed our yard, planted new bushes, installed accent lighting, mulched large areas in the front yard, and back, along with putting flowers out in 12 different pots. The guys are looking pissed at me, while their wives are looking pissed at them. I've got a feeling they're going to have to work in their yards tomorrow, thanks to me! }(

4. Well, they can't hold you responsible for not being able to say...
..."If you want all that stuff, what's stopping you?"

5. I hope you're having a great time working in the yard.
I wish I could join you. That sounds like fun. :)

If your neighbors don't like getting off the couch to go outside, fuck 'em. :)

Or don't. If they live in the couch then they're probably not so sweet on the eyes anymore. :P

9. Thanks Thom....
...I think they'll be getting off that couch soon enough. I noticed some of their wives together, looking at the results of my work, and no doubt, were plotting to get their husbands off of that couch...:D

6. And that is why I live in a high rise
I do not enjoy giving dirty looks to the neighbor women.

8. It allows me time to go fishing every night after work
No yard work responsibilities = leisure time. I may live in the middle of the city and be within walking distance of work, but I commute out every night for outdoor activities. It's great.
