Most of my lawn has yet to green-up.

I'll bet she's never allowed to use your nifty giant one.
How about a side by side pic of the two tractors.

Popeye, yoose would get arrested if yoose had any sheep there.

When you leave the cut grass laying around instead of removing it
(which is only doable if you have a little town lawn), the cut grass
acts as fertilizer.

I think the worst are magnolias. I don't know if they flower longer in
the south than they do here but what I typically see here is a tree
that is suddenly in full bloom with white flowers. The next day it is a
tree with some white flowers and a lot of litter on the ground around
it. By day four it is a tree with a pile of white litter under it.

Oddly, I remember exactly the last time I bought
some. It was 6 months ago, first week of November.
A 2-liter bottle of root beer.
 
I was expecting a very long phone call the next
week and thought it might be nice to have for that.
Phone call ended up being fairly short so I never
opened it.
 
It's still in my fridge, unopened.

I don't know anything about that. I wouldn't be surprised if people
reacted badly to it.

But you can all correct me, being experts on the matter. Or just
ignore me. That's ok too.

The gin wouldn't kill me, but the aspartame would! (Yes, I know Bruce
you have argued before that aspartame is not a migraine trigger so
don't bother)

Yabbut, you don't cook fish at home because it schtinks, and you
only go to restaurants twice a year (Italian sausage sub and Gold
Coin Chinese). So shut the fuck up, you know-it-all-nothing.

Not scary. I call her "owl eyes" like she keeps them
open a bit more than normal. She always appears as
stunned or surprised and maybe innocent looking.
 
She doesn't fool me though. She hates Trump personally
more than the Republican party.

Politics aside, I can hardly think of a less likeable person than
Trump. He also has the completely wrong character for the job. I can't
imagine he has attracted many new voters during his term.

Those you call 'lazy sleepy people' might have other things to do when
they get out of bed. Maybe start a load of laundry. Feed the pets.
Other household chores. *Before* they go to the store. You make it
sound like getting up at 4AM and shopping early is some kind of
*Princely* thing to do. Heh.

They may get up late, but you go to bed early. Who's lazy?

Yes, she was cool. I like her old stuff, but I also like her with
Jacques Pépin when she was old.

I've never heard of 'checkstands'. I know cash registers, manned by
checkout chicks.
