I have just had to do my walkway! I have had to re-due it 3 times in 2 months because i do not have the knowllege or skills to do this.

I can not afford to pay $2700.00 for someone to do it for me, a Landscaper! So my Daughter, Son-in-law and I, don't for get my grandchild have all worked very hard on this.

Have you ever done a job that you just hate! that caused you so much problems that no matter how many times you have done it.. it just would not come out???????

if so..

state the job, jobs.. in your home, at work, helping a friend. you name it........ on your car.. what ever... anything that did not work out and frustrated you.

Man next time.. I shut my mouth save the dang money and pay someone to do this job..... never again..... not my field...

P.s. i planted 170.00 worth of seeds this year... Lets say that only the daisy's, the radishes, and sunflower seeds are growing.. some corn.. / the Pumpkins, watermelons and squash are growing.

but the Herbs.. zipo. the lettuce, or broccoli, cauliflower, ect.. zipo... I need a green thumb.....

Funny part is this. My grandmother grew all of her own vegetables, and the freak'en rest of the family can do it.. but i am the outcast and i can not.... sucks... bites.. and dang tick's me off....

I do not want people thinking I hate the "job" of being a mom because I don't. I love it! But the one "job" I hate doing is putting in my daughters Spongebob DVD. It only means 2.5 hrs of spongebob which I have watched 4 times a day for the past week! Lol

Dealing with dead mice! Had another nightmare with one just a few days ago. Early morning, poured water from pitcher into electric tea pot, went to sink to refill pitcher and discovered a drowned, bloated mouse stuck upside down in it! Eeeeeeccckkkeeddd just like a girl!! Then I looked into the tea pot only to find the water I had just poured was almost black! What the H..l!! He was only in there over night at the most!! And where was my cat??? I threw away the pot and the pitcher, wasn't taking any chances with black water and porous plastics.

Another time one was caught in a trap with his tail stuck to another trap, had my neighbor get that one for me!

And a few months ago, one ran over the side of my face as I lay sleeping, woke up fast, he hit my pillow, I swatted him hard, heard him bang into a piece of furniture but he wasn't anywhere to be found in the morning.

I hate dealing with mice, dead or alive! I think I need more cats, maybe I'll become the crazy old cat women who lives alone at the end of the road.

Hummm for this reason is why I do not try to grow a garden shshh I will leave that up to those that really enjoy messing with that sort of stuff.

My brother has a green thumb think mine must have turned black heehe the things I can get to grow are those things outside one does not have to mess with very often....

Most of the time if it is a job I try to tackle but can not seem to do it well I then sweet talk friends that I do know they know how to do those jobs.bigsmile Or pay someone that can do them. Not worth all the frustrations specially when it cost you twice as much in the end.noway

Good luck on your project hope it all finally turns out in the end.:thumbsup:

Hummm that is one thing now I have never had a problem getting rid of hate those nasty things. First sign of them I go to the feed store and get what they have for mice it comes in little bags I will throw them in the attic behind things that I know my dog can not get too pull out drawers in the kitchen and drop them behind them as well as the bathroom. Mice problem will be gone in less then a week. Also works for squirrels that may get in the attic as well. I have zero tolerance for mice or any kind of bugs in my house.noway

Thanks TxsGal, I have some good stuff a friend gave me (he owns a pest control company) I need to get some more of those magnet things that keep cupboard closed and install them on all my cupboards so that my cat can't at the poison. The most recent one was first in awhile and surprised me, they usually seem to want in when it is cold out...

Dream Interpretation Mice

A single mouse may represent an approach to things which is quiet, diligent and detail-oriented. If you reacted with fear towards the mouse in your dream, it is a sign that you let something minor to ruin your peace of mind. Several mice represent small worries and problems which may cause serious damage.

Being the boss! In addition to my regular job, I own a mobile detail business where I do vehicle inventory cleaning for the local cable electric company...in other words, I wash their service trucks..lol.

Some days are fine, but on the weekends, I have to travel 150 miles away from home to service these vehicles.

I have a great crew that works hard for me, but I am the ONLY one with a valid license...so at the end of the work day, guess who has to drive back while everyone gets to sleep?
