  Taking back my lawn

  by Scully in

  my family spends a lot of time on grooming our lawn, hedges and flowerbeds.

  we live near a main street and there is a path beside our house that is often used by dog owners as part of their dog walk.. i don't know how many times i've watched people allow their dogs to urinate on our hedges and defecate on our grass, when the public park is just a few feet away.

  they think that poop-n-scooping is the limit of their duty of neighbourliness.. today, i had enough.

  Scully,

  one of the reasons we chose a ferret instead of a puppy is that I don't want to deal with poop. A ferret is a lot easier to clean up after. And you know in a house with 8 people the mom always get stuck with it.

  My neighbor's have a dog, and she has a few puppies. They are constantly getting out because of a small hole in the fence. I have had to watch my step on our lawn on more than a few occaisions. I have said a few things politely, and they are trying to keep them in...but I tell you, there is nothing more disgusting than stepping in a pile of cat or dog crap.

  We used to have a real problem with a neighborhood cat that would crap in our lawn...I have run it off a few times.

  the thing with dog poop and urine is you can smell it when it is hot outside, even if it is a couple of lawns away. My nieghbors go out and pick up their backyard every few days, but man, especially with this TX heat, it can reek to high heaven.

  Good for you for standing up.

  Ohiocowboy...so glad another yankee on the board is moving down.

  My family and I moved down here from New England almost 2 years ago. It was van full of 4 kids, a 24 foot truck pulling a car, and we drove down with no place to live. When we got to town, we just found a hotel, and started driving around the area to find a house to rent. This, to me, being from a place where the rent is high and good housing hard to even find if you can afford it, was TERRIFYING!! Yet my husband, who was from Texas assured me we would have no problems. We found a place I think it was the 2nd or 3rd day here, and moved in a day or two after that. All that way, and no trouble...until my husband put a huge hole in the Ryder truck when he parked in front of the house....

  Let me tell you something: Texas is a whole other country. There are a lot of differences, but most of them are positive.

  I don't know if you are brining any females with you, but if so I highly recommend finding and reading this book "A yankee chick's guide to surviving texas". Very funny...but oh sooooo true.

  I live a little north of Dallas. I don't see Nina and Big Tex that much, but it is comforting to have them and many of the other local posters near me.

  Welcome to our little Apostate Paradise!!!

  Nun confronts Hanks over 'Da Vinci Code'

  read this today on cnn.

  the other night there was some catholic scholar referring to the book as being fiction.

  i was confused as to whether he was referring to the "da vinci code" or the "bible"?

  I loved it...I read it before Angels and Demons, and think it is the better of the two.

  The best Dan Brown book though, in my opinion is Deception Point. A great thriller...nothing to do with the bible. Only Angels & Demons and the Da Vinci Code are based on religious beliefs/myths, etc...By the way, for a non catholic, I thought he did a good job explaining how the process of selecting a new pope is done in Angels & Demons.

  Having read Angels& Demons, I found the scenes at the end of EuroTrip so much more funny than I would otherwise.
