OK you can officially call me older

Thanks for your comments. Still, I have this lingering suspicion that by paying someone to mow the yard for the first time in my life, I'm showing signs of "laziness". And that word has never been acceptable in the culture I grew up in.

No, it shows that you dont really value your time. Why do something that could be performed for a relatively low cost and frees you to do things you really enjoy?

It's just a cultural thing I guess. Around 1989, I lost my job. Had a wife, stepson and infant daughter to support at the time. Applied for and received Unemployment for a couple of months until I got another job. Only govt "handout" I have ever accepted in my life and it still sticks in my craw to this day.

That's like saying social securtity and medicare are handouts.
For the record, I pay for a landscaper, car washes, and oil changes. These are all things I could do, but choose not to. I'm currently on the lookout for a trustworth and reliable housekeeper as well.

That's just not the way I see it. Those are different. By accepting govt help 3 decades ago, I was admitting I couldn't take of my family. I should have done something else.

I've never stated how old I am. Never will. It's why I mock you when you show the young dude sitting on the Dino statue. I never said that was me. Just some Google image I posted from years ago.

If you were married with an infant daughter when I was 10 years old and you are still this stupid there is no hope for you dude
