Jolene, is it still raining everywhere you are?

Hey look, Livejournal is back! Huh. I should probably do one of those mirror thingies sometime soon and get my own site or whatever. Because who knows when this sucker (which I love sort of like put up with am just used to using and therefore unwilling to change) will sink like a giant, off-gassed dead squid under the weight of DDOS or whatever

Well, your posts are always (almost) entertaining. (The ones that aren't are the ones where you're suffering for some reason. Those I don't like but it's not the posts, it's the suffering that needs to stop.) Anyway - perhaps if you start getting estimates in writing from people wanting to do your yard work? Just a thought, dunno if it'd work for your situation...

It was one of those situations where the yard folks were taking care of our neighbor's yard, and offered to do ours (which honestly was really, really sad and scary). And I said I wanted just an estimate, but I'm not good at dealing with people, and after awhile of him saying $350, I thought, well, that's a good price, I guess. That's the only price I heard. It may be the only price he said. But I can't be sure, because I can't understand him almost at all. But Scott told him that we're not paying that much all the time, and they came up with something more ... affordable for in the future.

Oh, and the 350 was just to get it to a manageable level, and then I thought it would be $100 a month after that. Which, since I'm allergic to some grass, and Scott is allergic to all of them, and we obviously weren't doing a good job with maintenance, seemed like a good deal.

Awfully convenient to not be understandable, innit?
