Kevin;

A pint or two of Guinness will help many problems.

Additional suggestions for yard work:

1. Use Agent Orange (Roundup will do in a pinch).
2. Napalm.
3. Pray it will go away.
4. Let it grow.

Now I know why people move into condos and townhouses - let the "Homeowners Association" take care of it!

Thomas,

LOL! I like the Napalm idea, though the story about burning P.I. and the person with the lung problem really scared me.

I like Guinness and usually order it at restaurants...but my favorite has become a chocolate stoudt from the Brooklyn Brewing Company. It is seasonal and is very hard to find. I discovered it last year at a beerfest in Adamstown, PA.

I'm a homeowner, and I love-hate it. It's a great tax break, and I love having something to call my own - but I also live in a 'keep up with the Jones' type neighborhood, and some of my neighbors thumb their noses at us because our yard isn't as 'nice' as theirs. (Of course, shooting off mortars, shells, and roman candles that I ordered from Missouri last 4th of July didn't exactly help my image with the neighbors either).
