Hey everybody has their thing.. bet they think you are wasting time hunting and fishing.. different strokes I guess.. all about what is important to you.Ok. But they sure know how to give them thumbs a work out on those electronic devices.
I was referring to your comment that this was the 3rd couple in 10 years. If the last couple put a decent down payment and made payments for a few years, they too might split after acquiring some equity.W/ the last selling price @ $440k 3 months ago for a 1700 sq. ft. house that originally cost 75k in 1985, I seriously doubt there is much room for profit in selling their home anytime in the distant future.
Glad you mentioned this. I am now repeatedly telling myself that the grass n weeds will stay shorter when the beagle training slows down. Buuuuuuut rabbit season will be here soon so I may not really have timeMy grass can get as tall as it wants no one around to care I live dead end long dirt rd so it gets cut when I got time usually every 10-12 days if weeds growing good and weed eat every 2-3 weeks my wife used plant bunch flowers but in her aging state she has really slowed down on that. Y'all would probably shame me pretty good if you seen my weeds during turkey season
my age or my dogs?Age?
How many Bobwhite in that covey?
poke weed plants
work out on those electronic devices
this guy mows in Dec., Jan, and if he can, Feb.
I mow more during hunting season because it’s how I deal with the leaves. Not that I care about the leaves so much as I want green plants to keep growing so the dogs track less in. I can’t be killing my clover and dock plantain with oak leaves.some guys mow,,,,
some guys hunt,,,,
we ALL have our coping mechanisms,,,,
Kind of ironic talking bout a lacking ‘pride of ownership’ and living with an HOA that tells folks what they can and can’t doI could be just as opinionated about all these young kids living where there are HOA’s and how they must love being told by strangers how to manage property they OWN…………..I’ll be damned if I’m gonna bust my tail my whole life to buy a home for Me and my family to have some stranger tell me what I can and can’t do or park or sit on it.
Yep, my cellphone, but I am only able hunt & peck w/ my right hand index finger.ummm,,, you do know where you are talking about this right? On a computer/phone/tablet,,, i.e. an "electronic device",,,
Dont feel like the Lobe RangerYep, my cellphone, but I am only able hunt & peck w/ my right hand index finger.
Like the post says it is just "an observation" concerning some of todays young people. It is not really a biggie for me.
And the house is on a hill so I don't have to worry about anyone else's sh*t.
Like I said it is just an observation I made while sitting in my backyard enjoying my AM coffee. The forum is for entertainment, passing on info & getting info for me & occasionally meeting members. And no, my young neighbors are not a problem. We get along fine & have different priorities concerning yardwork.Not a biggie yet you start a thread and make multiple replies.
A lot of truth here, and in my estimation it's also a symptom of the progressive erosion of our society and the conventions we older folk grew up with. There's a HOUSE and then there's a HOME. Most of the younger set don't yet embrace the concept of HOME, where future generations will gravitate to, no family farm to anchor their lives as in the past. Everything is temporary and besides, Grandma's in the rest home and the farm got sold off for a big house, a boat, a place at the beach, and there's a Wal-mart where the stock barn used to sit.It might be that they know they are not staying there forever when they move in. They could be viewing it more as an investment or stepping stone to make more money and get the house they want.
I think y'all just hit the nail on the head.A lot of truth here, and in my estimation it's also a symptom of the progressive erosion of our society and the conventions we older folk grew up with.

Sounds like one of my neighbors.I have a neighbor that bought a couple bags of mulch at least a year ago, they are still sitting along his house next to the weeds about 3' high.
They also have and pay for a yard waste bin that has been to the curb once that I know of, not sure what was in there though.
fwiw, they are about 35 years old.

Yep, My GGGrandfather divvied up his considerable holdings to his 9 sons, then my GGrandfather divvied up his share with his 7 sons. My Grandfather divvieed up his share to 5 children and my Mom split hers' 5 ways and we now own about 3 acres each, but it's still the home place in our minds; it's where we all gravitate back to.that break down of the "family farm" started way before this current generation - been going on a long time - as an example, my Father-in-Law (RIP) passed at 74 years old 15 years ago, and the land he left had already been broken up when HIS parents died back when
me? I've never had a home place like that - us Patrick's have ALWAYS been wanderers,,, we were the folk who left NC/VA mountains with Boone and opened up the Kentucky territory, then went north to take Wisconsin from the Frenchmen,,,
family farm? I own it, bought it with the sweat of my back and brow,,,
beat me to it.....maybe their boomer parents weren't very good at parenting...
Y’all don’t know how to probably utilize a property line. You can pile junk up to the 2,000 feet airspace ceiling. If you don’t see their yard it can’t possibly both you.beat me to it.....
Stop bitchin about your kids!
I prefer to keep up with my yard. But I can easily neglect it when hunting and fishing are a priority.
That being said.....
my neighbor...

this crap gets old. This causes rodent issues for everyone around. But she is just a different kind of rodent. Notice the used Mercedes.
