My golf partner is cheap, one reason we play the afternoons. I'm cheap too I don't think I can get him to get up early, he's that type of guy. He's never had to get up early, he owns a couple of small buildings he rents to businesses. If he did want to play early, I would be up for it, I'm generally up at the crack of dawn because I have to pee anyway Sometimes I stay up, sometimes I go back to sleep.

Sadly just a part of getting old. I usually get up twice during the night to pee. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I do not understand why people in Vegas have lawns instead of zeroscaping. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I love the look of a nice landscaped and manicured yard. Sadly, I have the desert landscaping now. My last house had a beautiful landscaped yard but it cost me over $250 a month to have it maintained. I refuse to do any yard work myself anymore.

No kidding. Move to MI where I have to mow an acre of yard twice a week. Where a lush emerald lawn is natural. You live where it's natural to have a yard that looks like a cat box. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I look at one and see so much waste. Even in places not desert I would rather something natural. People spend all kinds of time and money on a lawn but never go on it. That is one big reason the size of front yards has shrunk so much in new developments. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I agree about front yards. I am fortunate to have asmall front yard anda relatively large back yard by Las Vegas standards. Our house is on a cul-de-sac so it is similar to a pie shaped yard. We do use ourback yard for BBQ;s, pool parties, etc. We would never use the front yard because of lack of privacy. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I have not mowed a lawn or sholvelled snow in over 20 years. About 20 years ago I lent a friend my lawn mower and haven't seen it since. I despise any type of yard work and will pay a premium to have someone else do it. I also pay for a pool service and a pooper scooper service. I do nothing in the yard.
