After rototiling it, he just lets it go. By this point, it is now all weeds, and about 12-18 inches high.

Today, he decides to mow it....

Enjoy your weeds.

Maybe you can drop the plural "s" cuz the tripod thing screams pot farmer

Our yards aren't THAT big without someone noticing that crop growing...

It got even funnier -- I went out to grill some burgers and saw that he was bagging the clippings too -- so it was like, mow five feet, empty bag, mow another five feet, empty the bag.

I can't take much more of this. Things need to change.

I have a Facebook account that I set up a while back that I've never used. Within the past week, I've had 5 friend requests from these people in London who are all friends with other. I'm thinking about approving them and then screwing with them for as long as I can.

Put it inside something the hot girl would respect. Like Artnews.

I love avoiding potentially awful Keyboard Cat situations

These bugs give you no peace to even chill on the deck. Why did God create bugs that only go "ehh ehh" ehh eh" all night? And it comes from every direction. They are like a plague every summer.

Has anyone done a poll on what NFL teams people root for here? I know most are Eagles fans, JH and I are Giant fans, and I think there's one other, and I think there may be a Steelers fan or two around here. Any others?

So next week was supposed to be my vacation downashore, but my wife may need to get her wisdom teeth out over the next couple days :cry:

She'll be fine. Get her some percocet and Mad Dog

Yeah, it all depends on when they can do it. Hopefully they can today or tomorrow. Best case is that it's an infection, which they said it might be, and she can get antibiotics now and schedule the procedure when she's off from classes in the winter
