to this day if i catch a whiff of the right kind of vanilla i remember this girl in high school that i pined for. the floor is now open for jokes
my friend told some dancer at a strip club that she smelled like cookies, so I assume it was some vanilla body spray lol

My first girlfriend also wore vanilla scented stuff and she told me once that it was because she read in a Cosmo magazine or something that men like food-scented perfumes the best.

loving neighbors with their leaf blowers at 8 in the morning gently caress

one of my neighbors has lawn service that always shows up first thing in the morning and lets their huge iron trailer gate free-fall to the pavement at the crack of dawn

it is the goddamn worst and I can't even imagine what a lawn crew was doing in winter in texas, everything was dormant as hell and you don't need a team and a trailer to rake a leaf

at oldjob we had maybe an acre of grass and a couple dozen shrubs spread over a .5 square mile property and whenever it was above freezing, three times a week we had landscaping service blowing gravel at you when you were walking in from the parking lot.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
when i lived in the hausbus at the trailer park, whenever the maintenance guy got in a fight with his wife, he'd come and blow leaves off of the playground next to our lot for four to six hours. it was super great

electric seems to have progressed to a point where a lawn mower isn't a massive pain in the dick. so now, provisionally, i will support the small gas engine ban

yeah they're great now, honestly. unless you're regularly mowing over an acre (and even then....), there's no real need for gas mowers these days imo

although i'm trying to get rid of anything that requires mowing, anyway, and replacing it with food plants, and native bird/bee/bug plants

I have a Ryobi electric weedwhacker that’s basically a big rotary shaft tool. I can pull the weed whacked head off and make it a snow blower.

right now about 1/3 of my yard is clover and violets and i kinda want to find a way to encourage it to cover the entire yard so i dont need to mow again

though mowing is fun because there is a lot of wild onion so everything ends up smelling like onions for a day

you probably won't ever get 100% clover, just the nature of how it grows. but you might try seeding in things like creeping thyme, scotch moss, creeping jenny, etc

even then if it's in the front you'll prolly end up doing occasional mows

reel mowers are great but i had to stop using mine because it turned out the mowstyle was evolutionarily selecting for crabgrass because they're never pointing the right way to get properly clipped by the blades.

among other reasons this is why you are supposed to mow your lawn in a different pattern every time, gas or reel or electrical
