Or you can take pride in your own possessions? Pay someone to mow your grass, wash your car, spray for bugs, security system, put a flag in your yard, paint your driveway, hang Christmas lights, routine maintenance. Remember when these used to be family oriented learning/teaching activities?

How much you paying these guys to f*** your wife for you?

Huh? We still have that. People will send flyers asking if you want a fresh paint job and you can pick what you want.

The majority of successful people I know are all "hands on" people. My very well-heeled brother-in-law, will repair a broken toilet seat and replace it himself. A lot of people who came up the hard way are like that.

TIL: There are people who actually want that ugliness stenciled on the curb in front of their house.

I might pay someone to remove it, but I would never willingly have that done in front of my house.

Member when your LSU student number was your SS#?

I still have my student IDs, and all have my SS# as my student number.

There's a young man I know (son of a friend) who is doing this to make money prior to heading to South Alabama for college. I expect he'll continue to do it to make money while in college in Mobile.

$65 does seem a bit pricey though, unless there are licensing fees that have to be paid, etc.

But do they still do that.


Yes. There is some company that comes around my neighborhood that puts out leaflets advertising they will paint the numbers. They do this every year and occasionally I see some house that took them up on it.

That's still a huge thing in my area of Houston. I think it should be mandatory. It helps with deliveries and EMS. I remember in Baton Rouge my neighborhood didn't have it and lots of houses didn't bother to have it visibly on their houses either.

yeah, my father made me do all that shite as a kid. In addition to learning how to do them, I also learned it would be better to be able to pay someone to do them for me.

get back to work so you can hire a lawn service broke dick.
