Has anyone else noticed how obnoxious searching for stuff on the Internet has become. Try searching for lawn mowing insert city here – and you get 15 pages of search hijacks – think Angie’s list, Home Advisor only 500 fold.
We’ve been searching for services for this new place and holy crap it is nearly impossible to get to a merchant or company without 5 million middlemen sticking their hands out to help for a click bait commission.

we’re giving up looking for any services on the net from SEO gang-bangers.
From now on we’re asking our neighbors and people we meet for their sage advice and recommendations.

Crime, accident, loud noises, finding human poop on a driveway – anything and everything.
Gossip, snide remarks…we live for those. Sometimes we think we’re in high school surrounded by tattle-tale, whiners and worriers.
Reminds us of those old Victorian fainting couch sitters with 9 inch waists fanning themselves into hysterics because they have to listen to so-n-so. He’s so mean and insulting…so immediately we contact him to find he’s a GD level headed so-n-so who says it like it is without worrying about “the CODE” which changes every University semester.
