Oh wait to you try the weed wacking boobaby! It's the best!

Takes twenty minute to start the things up! When it finally starts up your arm is about ready to fall off and then you can't hold on to the thing because you are sweating so much it freakin slides all over the place! No GRIP. Can't see either because the goon googles get all steamed up!
When you finally get it together the freakin string runs out and you have to go through the entire process again. You get so ticked off because you know you started at 9am it's now 12pm and all that has been accomplished is the edge of one flower bed (and that looks pitiful! Clumps of grass missing). You keep at it and when you finally conquer it your legs are scarred for life! Yep, did the weed wacking last week and I'm still picking splinters from my legs! Apparently the mulch got in the way when I was wacking!

Ah well, was it John Lennon who said there are no problems only solutions?
Some pretty good advice given from the forum ladies/gents. I especially like germangirl's idea. Good thinking there! My Solution, I am moving in the next few weeks. The back yard is decked out! Literally! It has a huge decked yard surrounded by a picket fence. Beyond the picket fence is a beautiful green golf course. And I don't have to mow or weedwack the freakin thing! I just have to admire..just like I did in the ole days. Wait a minute, I cut the grass in the ole days ... Life ain't so bad after all!!!! :)

Tip: I’ll need to weedwack one more time before I retire the wacker tool to a permanent spot in the garage. During the next session, I will be wearing a pair of my stbx thick socks. I might look a sight, but I’m going to pull them suckers right up past my knees and wack away!
