If I don’t pick it up before I start mowing, I don’t pick it up because I’d have to turn off and restart the mower to do so. Hopefully, it’s not too large an object to chop up.

My recent mowing adventure was the first time I’d mowed the grass in about 6 years, since the time I put the wrong kind of gas in the mower (something to do with two strokes and four strokes?) and the engine seized. If you do that, your husband won’t allow you to mow even if you want to.

One my wife dosn’t know about. While I was feeding the dogs my wife arrived home. Slightly confused by all the barking and exitement I licked the dog food spoon, kissed my wife and put the spoon in the pasta sauce on the cooker. yum,yum

Its gives me an idea not to let my wife mow the lawn the next time I’m not at home because of business trips. No, I will never let her touch the lawn again.=)

Di — Yes, the most important thing to remember from this story is that if you have someone else doing your lawn normally, DO NOT LET THEM STOP.

We have a riding lawnmower... I'd probably take out a small tree or lose a foot if I attempted to mow. Hubby is not allowed to have surgery. DI The Blue Ridge Gal Di’s last blog post..Summer Doldrums

Lola — I’m so happy you won! And really, I cannot get over your hair. You were a dork of the highest magnitude. God bless you for volunteering that picture!

Momo Fali — Oh, cripes. And it was the last time you mowed I guess. I’m glad I only hurt the mower when I fell off my curb. Counting my blessings.

Patty — I’d be afraid what would be lurking in the tall grass! It’s bad enough I have to dodge cat poops in the yard. Yes, one of my cats actually poops outside. She thinks she’s a dog.

Libertine — We got a nasty letter too, but not for the grass. We hadn’t shoveled a half inch of snow off our walk and someone called the township. $150 fine! So do you get your son to mow for you? It should be a kid’s job, don’t ya think?

horse saddles — I don’t even want to think about the poor people who actually do hurt themselves mowing. Especially riding mower roll-overs. Be careful out there people!

meleah rebeccah — Oh, I can’t show that picture. It looks like hell. We are admiring a neighbor’s new mailbox. I want one. It’s cement!

kev — If I had riding mower, I would be like my obsessive neighbor and do it twice a week. Not kidding. Do they put seat belts on those things?

Jane Doe — I think my husband would like me to stop persevering. He’s waiting for the go-ahead from his doctor that he can mow again. Right now, he just prays I don’t damage the house somehow.

That is hilarious! Kudos to you for persevering!

I have mowed a lawn once in my life, and let’s just say, I never did it again, mainly cuz no one would let me! Not that I would have if I could have. That’s part of why I live in an apartment.

Just imagine the amount of damage you could do on a riding lawn mower. Oh, sure, you wouldn’t get exercise the same way you do with a push mower. But just think of the destruction!

The first time I mowed the lawn was very unforgettable moment. I tipped over the street and almost cut off my arm. That was so scary. My heart was so beating so fast that day. thanks to God I didn’t lost my arm.

You are quite welcome to come and cut my grass any time you like. I don't give a rat's ass what it looks like -- my only goal is to avoid getting a nasty letter from the city (this has happened to me before). I hate cutting grass, I hate doing yardwork of any kind, and I hate spending time outside in the sun in the summer. I've seriously considered astroturf, green carpet, or green cement. I could happily live in a house without a lawn. I am most definitely NOT a "yard Nazi". Libertine’s last blog post..Fourth Of July Celebrations Fizzle Out in Recent Years

Yeah, my husband doesn't like me to cut our yard either. I only do it when I fear for the dogs safety - like when it's up to their knees and since they are greyhounds, that's pretty tall. That's only happened a few times when hubby was out of town or working late hours though. Patty’s last blog post..Scout's A Storm Buster, Too!

The first time I mowed the lawn at our house, I fell off the curb and broke my ankle. Momo Fali’s last blog post..Reasons I Love America
