When my wife and I were leaving the country for the first time in our lives in 1987 and it was on a Pan Am 747 to Frankfurt, Germany on our way to Turkey. I'll never forget looking out the window at the gate and seeing :"Clipper Maid of the Seas" on the side of her.

This is what still what freaks me out to this day...

I recently got into a huge confrontation with my neighbor and his wife. They have a young son who is a brite little go-getter. He knocked on the door earlier this Spring to ask if he could cut my grass for $20 per mow. I thought a lot of that moxy, but I'm a lawn guy. Nobody cuts my grass but me, period. But I decided to let him be my weekly pooper scooper for that $20 a week.

He's been fantastic and dependable. Always has my yard clean by the weekend, doesn't complain when thing rehydrate in the rain. He just does what we agreed, and I gladly pay, giving him a tip on top of the $20 the last few weeks.

Skip to last weekend. I'm working in the flower beds, their whole family walks across the street to politely say hello and be neighborly. We talked about our various Summer plans and vacation, this and that when the chat went South real quick. Those two asshats went absolutely ballistic when they found out I don't have a pet.

Tell your neighbors you have a service pet...their kid when he comes over tp do yard work.
So what if you don't have an animal for a pet, that's no reason to get bent out of shape.
