Now contemplating indoor/outdoor carpeting instead of grass, thanks to this thread. Maybe a moat too.
I don't mind the maintenance on grass. I would just prefer to maintain something more fruitful than a bag full of clippings that just go straight to the compost pile. Gardens, native prairie spreads, heck, even some useful non-native cover are good. Just not creeping charlie (but hay, that's a preference).
Over time, I've reduced my lawn by a few feet every year. I just use a reel mower now. Trying to use incrementalism to prevent neighbors who have this golf-green fetish to not make any trouble. I do have lemongrass as the perimeter border, that also helps, and is also useful, smells wonderful. And I have planted white and yellow oxalis/sorrel which are those shamrock looking things you see everywhere. Next I'm going to add more red clover (also edible), but don't want to attract more rabbits, so still thinking through some ideas to go from door to street without grabbing any more attention.
This actually may be the finest idea in both home security and physical comedy since the invention of the moat.gonna replace my grass with marbles
Meh.You're a really weird dude, but to each his own.
Adults worshiping celebrities (mainly reality TV stars that make me cringe the most)
Agreed and also people who think it's celebrities' jobs to be role models. A role model should be someone you know personally, not some musician, actor, athlete or worst of all politician.
I like it when he does that. loldo you have anything to contribute other than running commentary on other people's posts?
Shut up!
I like it when he does that. lol
is your band teacher your role model, even though he is a musician?
He either had a bad experience with an HOA or has heard plenty of HOA horror stories and has lumped them all into one and every HOA is the devil now.

Nowhere near as weird as the dude that thought it should be okay to keep lugging around his meat stained plate all over a buffet style restaurant like the eating conditions were not already questionable enough at those joints as is.
What's up with that?
Singing "Happy Birthday". Terrible freaking song - no one enjoys singing it and people stand there awkwardly while everyone does it. Toss in the stupid ad-libs some people toss in to make it interesting, and it's unbearable.
His HOA officers were socialists
To this I'll add the songs that follow the singing of "Happy Birthday." My in-laws have two or three other songs that go after it, and I just stand there awkwardly because I refuse to sing them.
No, I just live in a place that borders one of the largest bodies of fresh water in this Hemisphere. Water waste is literally impossible here.You sir, are an enemy of the environment, With all your clean plates and water waste. How do you even sleep at night? I bet you don't even let the yellow mellow.
