[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 298766, member: 983"] I get it on the lawn thing. It is extremely frustrating to simply try to keep a decent yard and watch 4000 dandelions upwind of you go to seed. I don't keep a golf course lawn and don't love mowing. But I do think it looks nice and is a point of pride. It is not different that the someone having junk in their yard or never keeping their house up. If you had 14 Ford Rangers in various states of decay and the siding falling off beside you, I think many who are saying who cares would change their tune. On the other side, we can all move too. I'm all for giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they were gone, maybe they're sick, maybe crazy at work. Make an effort and that is fine. But be lazy and I have no sympathy. I grew up on a street with many elderly folks with a few younger families mixed in. My dad and I did snow removal for the older folks the entire time I grew up. Not once did the lazy neighbors come out to help.....often it was days later that they even did their own driveway. That taught me a hard lesson. I do frown upon those that are capable but don't make an effort. [/QUOTE]
