I used to think I was just a regular guy, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not,
makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.

I am older than 60 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.

I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the mainstream media tells me, which must make me
a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which
makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits,
which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I (and most of the folks I know) acquired a fair education without student loans (it's called work)
and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me
a militant.

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore! I would
like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, newly found changes in my
life and my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!

Funny it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years! As if all this crap wasn't enough to
deal with now I don't know which restroom to go into.

And lastly, I don't like Harry very much which makes me all of the above all by itself!

I resemble those remarks!

Good morning, Mike. Nice to see your smiling here on this fine Sunday morning. I'm waiting for the 9
o'clock hour to roll around so I can crank up the leaf blower without ****ing off the neighbors too
much.

Chop down those oaks and plant evergreens or palm trees. Raking
leaves is about as nasty as shoveling snow.

Palm trees are pretty dirty too and you can't just run over the stuff
with a lawn mower like I do the oak leaves.

You pick it up and carry it to the curb. Your oak leaves aren't
like yankee oak leaves.

Mulching the leaves with a mower is an option during the first couple weeks of fall. After that
there are just too many leaves.

Don't you guys have wives to do this kind of stuff?
Mikek :-)

Good thing you put the smiley there!

I don't do nearly as much yard work as she does. She mows the lawn,
edges, fertilizes, spreads weed killer, and moves sod. She also takes
care of plants in a 24 x 40 greenhouse, mostly trees and about 30 more
fruit trees outside of that.
Did a tell the story about coming home from work and she ask me to
get the lawn mower down. What? "Well I'll show you." she had drove the
riding lawn mower vertical up the chain link fence. All 4ft 7in of her
could not get it back down!
Did I mention she also works an additional 50 to 60 hours at the
business! No chance of me getting her to retire. I'm retiring in 33 days!

I was walking the dogs one day and went by a beautiful lawn. A guy was getting out of his car in the
driveway, and I commented to him how beautiful his lawn was. His response was that his wife did all
the work. So I asked him to pass the compliment to his wife. He said, "OK."

A couple days later I walked by again. This time the wife is outside, so I commented on the
beautiful lawn and asked if her husband had passed on the compliment.

"Oh no," she said, "he's not said a word."

Oh well.
