That's what I was thinking. There are usually plenty of "landmines" to avoid when mowing. There are no dogs in your neighborhood? No slugs? Mischeivous squirrels?

Whoa. Thanks for the clarification. For a minute I thought you meant actual landmines.

Don't you mean "actual" landmines?

Yes, there's the real danger ... that the lawn mower blade might chop up the dog shit and spread it around making it more likely Seb will step on at least a little "grenade" in his bare feet.

I've got your back, Sebby. I mow the grass barefooted too.

My dogs know that something's up and they should be concerned if I have shoes on. It means that I'm likely to leave the house soon.

In other news, some poor guy on the elevator just asked me,"Is it always this hot in Houston?" I said no, it's not usually 98 degrees the first day of July.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that it's going to get much, much worse before it gets better.

Well chopping off his toes would just serve him right. He's just asking for it after all. Probably Mowing While Intoxicated as well.

There is some chance that his feet would look better without the toes. At least to Sebby.

I would have thought people in your neighborhood don't cut their own lawns. Where do you get all this knowledge?

True, most of the neighbors have people who do the yard and do the cleaning. Those people do not do as good of a job. Plus they break shit. One neighbor had the cleaning lady spill a bucket of cleaner on her hardwood floor. Cost a lot to replace that floor- plus she's a lazy bitch who stays at home all day and could clean her own damn house if she wasn't so fucking lazy.

Our yard and house is meticulous. Plus, when I mow, I have to wear shoes and long pants because acorn schrapnel is a bitch.

My husband wears one every weekend (he has several). My older son has one too. They rock.

I only wish I had gotten in touch with my inner old-man-outside-the-OTB sooner (I am already in regular contact with my inner pretentious hipster). Also, I was a little wary of doing the white-boy fronting on a traditional latin look, like when I tried wearing that Puerto Rican flag bandanna on my head (que linda bandera!). Now I am also in touch with my inner fronting white-boy, so it's all good.

Seems to me that the neighbor should not have had the cleaning lady spill that bucket of cleaner.

2.

Fucking A. If you can't mow the lawn w/out chopping your toes off, hire the neighbor kid to do it.

Or do what I used to do*: weed whack your entire lawn. No lines. And the neighbors think you're crazy.

*when I had a lawn.

Do you have an outfit to match the inner schoolmarm? Schoolmarm is right below french maid and above nurse. French maid is still waaaaaaaaay below Catholic schoolgirl.

Yes. So very unlike "I'll stick my knife right down your throat" in that regard, too.
