[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 526096, member: 1514"] Lisa I know what you are talking about and that is what we want to put in our place if we can ever get to it. I know I am just going to do the things I want to do next year that are going to make my life easier and to heck with everyone else. I dont care anymore what anyone says. If they dont want to get with the program, I am hiring people to do it. Today, or actually yesterday now, I informed Tony that I am calling the private trash company that comes down our road and putting us on their list. It isnt that expensive. To have two very large cans it will be 60 bucks every quarter. We get picked up once a week on Wednesdays at 6 am. He can take the cans out to the street on Tuesday night in his pickup and Billy can go get them Wednesday morning before he goes to work and bring them home. Im tired of the trash issues. Next issue is our yard. Every time he buys a lawnmower it dies on us way before it should. Right after we moved into this place we bought this really nice push mower with these big back wheels and it was supposed to have all the bells and whistles. You know, go by itself so you just walked alone behind it, push button start, etc. The thing lasted two summers if that. I think it died near the end of the second summer. So next he bought several lawn mowers that were second hand. Each one died over and over. About three years ago we got a John deer riding mower that was supposed to be almost brand new. Guy said he had it about six months but he bought a bigger model and it looked fantastic. Ran like a dream for a year and a half. Now its sitting in my yard like an ornament. Tony brought home a mower on friday that a friend of his sold him. It worked perfectly at the guys house. It gets here and it wouldnt mow one strip. The guy came to the house on Friday to pick up the money from Tony and the lawn mower went back with the guy...lol. I told Tony we are giving up on lawn mowers and getting a lawn mowing guy.
