   LOL, yes.  I see a lot of lawns that are treated.  Some do look much better   
   than mine, but I think that is because the owner knows what they are doing   
   and actually take care of it some on their own.  Others don't look any   
   better than mine and I have never used a service.

   Thanks!  I had to dig up a dead bush yesterday, so I will have some seeding   
   to do here soon.  I had better do it soon, too!  Once May gets here, it   
   will often be above 80ish.
