chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	My weed man came today and cleaned up all the weeds, he raised his prices again from $35.00 last year to $50.00. But he does keep the pesky little ones that keep popping up all over the place, cleaned up all summer. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	How does he do that? I'd love to know. We're getting the gardens mulched this week, but in two to three weeks, the weeds will be popping through again. $35 to $50 is a big percentage increase. It doesn't sound like much because it's only $15.00 more, but it's significant. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Yes I agree but he earns his money. He is a wirey little man and crawls all over the yard pulling those pesky weeds. Oh, first he pulls the weeds, then sprays each section with a strong weed killer called Round-Up. This supposedly kills the smallest shouts and the roots. Then in a week or two he comes back and makes sure no new ones are sprouting. He does that throughout the summer so he really earns the money he is paid. The weed killer costs $20.00 a gallon by itself so he really only gets $30.00. I alway have cookies or a cake to send home with him when he is coming by. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Jabber, he is my weed man, my roofer man, my window washing man and inside the house for smaller stuff man. He is a little 5ft.5in. Italian man who has a full head of snow white hair and is cute as a bug. He has been my handy man now for 19 years. He and his wife Barb and I are good friends. He keeps my costs down and I invite them over once a month for dinner or a cook out. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	chatty, sounds like a winner. I love fixer upper men. Men who can do all the little chores around the house and year, rock. There aren't too many of them left these days. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Chatty, I was teasing you. But I'm glad there is someone like him for you count on. Too bad he's married. A back massage would be nice? Dots, WB can do anything, no matter what it is. He's a mechanic, accountant, builder, repairer, pool man, and yard worker, whatever. Except: He does not do the back massage thing. No body is perfect! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
