I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

I can't even think of anything to say.

I chalk this up to your luck, which is incredibly terrible by epic proportions.

I won't even wish you good luck, since it's obvious that will never happen. But, I will be hoping and praying that this will turn out okay for you. Maybe you can get off with just a fine and some community service.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillement of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle... Victorious.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Crap! At my LGS/range, I pay $10.00 for all day, or $7.50 for all day if I buy some ammo there. And I can leave and come back later that day if I want. Sounds like you need to start aiming at the buzzards!

My future sister in law is my lawyer and she seems to think we can do some things to make it go away like comunity service or the like , which I dont have a problem with at all . Now I am dealing with a bunch of gossiping family members who have no business talking about anothers problems .
Its bad when your friends can keep a tighter mouth than your own blood

I could probably kill your lawn in two weeks.

This year I took some RoundUp to some of the larger weed clusters in the lawn. They went brown a lot earlier than the rest of it. It's still there, but at least this year it knows someone else was in the ring with it!

Do you live in a planned community with CC&Rs? If not I would rip the lawn out and plant a Doomsday Garden that would make all of the neighbors jealous! If I did live where there were CC&Rs preventing it I would move- or probably never would have moved there in the first place (gotta have the garden!)

You are aware that fertilizer promotes plant growth and herbicide kills plants, aren't you?
