JUST A THOUGHT

[awm]

Ive read some of the ideas about how the forum might be contributing to all the new people mowing.
I know 10 or more lco here. only 1 ever heard of LAWNSITE.
My bet is that almost none of the pt timers starting
now know about this site.
The truth as I see it is that this just looks like a way out for a fella in debt to his ears, or out of a job.
With a little more explaining and a little less ridicual
(sp)we can make the those that dont chg realistically see
all the cost of operating a buisiness.JUST MINE

I agree that if there was a way to educate all whom wish to cut grass for a living, the Industry would not be viewed as a joke.

Unfortunately, no matter what we may try to do or how well we may perform, without a LAW to stop every retiree, former engineer, part timer, etc. we cannot regulate the quality of the contractor out there.

I wish there was a test, that the DEC could enforce when their out there busting my chops so that these fly-by-nights could some how be regulated.

But the downfall to this is that we already have too much gov't intervention in our lives and I will continue to perform services to the best of my ability.

Any more the more I talk to people and the more I think about it, they are actually working in my favor by servceing those dead-beat, late paying, continually gripeing customers I would rather not have to del with, on my management schedules.

Just my .02

I consider myself like a Great White Shark cruising the oceans without fear of any other species other than a “bigger” Great White. If a few crumbs of food falls from my mouth and lands in the mouth of a shadowing sucker or carp so be it, for bottom feeders have to eat too.

Now back to your regularly scheduled forum.

How many square feet are there in a half-acre?

Discuss amongst yourselves please.

But man there is more to life than being preyed on or preying on others.Mabe a real good women if you dont have one, would show you what you might be missing. My appologies to mrs. Stone if you do.Really no offence ment.

[lawrence stone]

Mr. Marks I was responding to the message posted by Kris. I cannot comprehend your messages since I cannot read and write ebonics. I normally skip over your messages for I can only read and write the Kings English.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

[Mr.Ziffel]

The translator was pretty darn good, didn't you think? I like how he went from a 'big ol long gun' to 'a firearm of substantial caliber'. Pretty darn funny. All we have around here are a bunch of Norwegian farmers saying 'Uff Da' all the time. Not quite so colorful, I'm afraid.
