> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > We mow when needed. Same here. **FCD** occasionally obsesses about wanting a perfect lawn. But the way I see it - if it’s green and doesn’t harbor stickers or poison ivy, then it’s close enough. I suppose if we had all kinds of money lying around waiting to be spent, I might hire someone to give us such a lawn, but we don’t, so I won’t. > [@Misnomer](#): > > I’m sad to report that the closest Bob Evans is less than 13 miles from me. 🤣 About the same for me (maybe 15 miles) and since they don’t serve Coke products, I resist going there. The last time we went (some months ago) it really wasn’t all that good. I avoid IHOP for the same reason - no Coke products. > [@Misnomer](#): > > (“Whaddya mean, 1980 was 45 years ago?!?”) For me it’s - _Whaddya mean my baby girl will be 40 this year?!?!?_ I still have some assorted partial skeins of yarn left, so I’m making a rectangular granny square-style lap robe. The colors are not at all complimentary, but I don’t care. If it’s warm, that works. As soon as I’m done ingesting lunch, I’ll get back to my recliner and _Death in Paradise_. I swear, for a small Caribbean island, they sure do have a lot of murder! 🤣 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150)._
