[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 533681, member: 84"] :rofl: :rofl: I've been accused of being a "tree hugger" because of my mower. Which I find amusing because I never even considered that....... But you think the mower is bad? You ought to see them stare when I do the manual trimming with my little hand held clippers. LOL The upside to this? If the economy totally tanks........or gas jumps up to an ungodly price...........my grass won't be 3 foot high in my yard. Same with the clothes line too...........But I guess people don't think of things like that anymore. I spent months at the gym. I didn't get anywhere near the workout I got yesterday or that I get doing the garden with manual tools/labor. There is a reason our grandparents and generations before them could eat those huge heavy meals and not get obese. When they did yard work, they [B]worked[/B]. Shoot........go back far enough and even putting breakfast on the table was hard work, doing laundry took an entire day.........and not because you were waiting on the dryer. I haven't turned into a health nut. But I have stopped and taken a long hard look at my life.........and I admit how others do things.........and I think Wow, when did I get so lazy? Doing yard work this way as a kid is not something I ever gave any thought to until husband started razzing me over it when we bought this house. I just went out and did it. I was in fantastic shape before I got married. [/QUOTE]
