MissAmericanPie :
I think my first clue it was a scam would be my name is not Linda. The second is I live in an apartment and have little say in tree care. 😉

"Sure, come on over. I have a Sago that needs removed. " Tell them where it is located on the property. Keep the blinds closed and don't answer the door if they come a knockin for payment when it is done! LOL~!

muffy : I'm not even bothering any more. Within this thread, one person has 2 difficult to decipher posts. That person has been asked and told, repeatedly, to please proofread their posts for clarity, at the bare minimum. I'm reading one time only and then I'm done with it. If they don't care, then I don't care and will not bother to engage.

Right. It is ridiculous! We even have spellcheck these days. I always re-read what I am posting because I don't want to look stupid or careless.

muffy : People typically post to join in, contribute and be heard. I think we were punked here by someone trying to make an anti-social point, just for argument. I think it was 100% calculated. They posted to buck the system and disrupt, then when called out, gathered others to support the actions. Joining in and contributing was never the goal here.

You complain about my posts in this thread being "2 difficult to decipher posts."
I have written 3 posts. 1 admittedly done haphazardly, but I don't think that I meant there was time whites only was written while now it is implicit was not understandable. If you didn't decipher tbe other 2, that is on you.

I love the people who used to come to the door, and say "...your neighbors just bought a box of steaks from us, and we have one left. they said you all cook out a lot, would you like to buy it?" Oh yeah, which neighbors? "ummm, the people in the corner house" Oh, you mean the Boyd's? Yeah, yeah, the Boyds! Oh great...well, the Payne's live there, Not the Boyds...get off my porch! Emoticon
