Yard work

Gardeners and landscapers are read for their busy season. Hopefully, if she needs yard work done she's already called and made an appointment for a Spring clean-up. Otherwise she might have to wait, because from my experience it's hard to find good help, and the good guys fill up fast prior to spring. I once had what looked like a jungle of twines on the side of my house; it looked nasty, thorny, thick and difficult to remove. When I hired someone to do a spring clean up I specifically noted the need to make the twine jungle disappear. This was my main need.

On clean-up day they did everything but the twiny stuff. I pointed it out, but they said they never knew. I contacted the salesperson who said he would swing by my house whenever he was in the area to take some whacks at it, ending with a request for my payment as soon as possible. Anyone smelling something wrong here? Honestly, I had to write the owner of the company a letter explaining my situation, and he obliged and sent a worker right over. The job ended up taking someone 15 minutes, I kid you not. Most women, when faced with a problem, especially where they were not given their values worth, especially when money (or children) are involved, will make some noise. How is she sounding off about you?

She's protective of her food

She's had one-too-many items of food either taken or sampled from out of her office refrigerator. A new sandwich bag that looks like it has mold inside should keep the coworkers away from her food. www.thinkofthe.com

She's not so sure

Electronic cigarettes are now available; offering red glows and puffs of fake smoke. They don't violate any smoking laws, but can they really help her quit?
