Stuck in the Weeds
Despite my best efforts I cannot seem to extract myself from the weeds that infest daily life these days. Just as soon as one issue is overcome another takes it places forcing me back to the proverbial square one. My work schedule continues to make all this even more fun. I find myself coming home in the morning, getting cleaned up, and pretty much crashing on the couch until I wake up around ten o'clock and force myself to go to bed. April should be a little easier, hopefully once we get this month over with I should be able to post on a more regular basis.
Sorry life is so stressful for you right now...sometimes, you just have to plow through periods like that. As long as there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it's manageable - it's much worse, if there is no end in sight.
Can't go wrong with Jimmy Buffett to hold you over until the insanity of life subsides a bit!
Some of the weed Jerry was hinting at would be something I wouldn't mind having some day when I'm old and have nothing better to do. What can I say? Once a hippie, always a fucking hippie, real hippies that is :)
Pixel: The biggest issue in all this is that I find I have little to no time just to think. With someone always yelling my name during my waking hours its hard to come up with anything to say.
Mike: Another issue is that the family computer has pretty much crapped out forcing me to share my laptop with my wife and daughter. My wife is selling stuff on eBay and my daughter has school related stuff she has to do.
Jerry: LOL!! That different kind of weed would actually be a help right now.
Life: Hopefully the dam is beginning to break on the weed issue.
Mr. Charleston: Actually weed control is the last thing anyone in South Carolina wants. Too many questions would be asked about the stuff uncovered.
Randal: Yes I have, sadly Lowes does not sell them. A good thing actually, I don't want to end up in jail after torching the neighborhood.

HI,
one foot in front of the other and you will get through this rough stretch. Thanks for the Buffett, always appreciated.
When I first saw the image you started off with, I was thinking of an entirely different kind of weed...or was I?
Some of the weed Jerry was hinting at would be something I wouldn't mind having some day when I'm old and have nothing better to do. What can I say? Once a hippie, always a fucking hippie, real hippies that is :)
All that invasive stuff from Florida is finally reaching SC. Heavy duty Roundup is your only hope.
Have you thought about a flamethrower? They work on figurative weeds just as well as they work on the literal ones.
sounds like my crappy life right now.
