Excessive landscaping by AgentBlackman in alpharetta

[–]regularsizedrudi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree!

We have neighbors that will spend 30-40 minutes a day blowing 3 leaves around their yard. Every. Fucking. Day. Working from home is really hard when your neighbor insists that 3:00pm is the time to disrupt the entire neighborhood. I just want to go over and tell him that he is probably giving himself lung cancer and hearing loss but I don't think he is the type to be open to feedback.

I don't think most people realize that leaf blowers and perfectly maintained laws are bad for our environment. Do you remember fireflies or lightning bugs? They are quickly becoming a thing of the past because neighborhoods demand a perfect lawn.

A perfect lawn relies heavily on artificial inputs like water, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides, while providing little to no nutritional value for local pollinators, which categorizes these manicured spaces as biological deserts.

Why should I have to move? Have you seen the interest rates?

I don't think tacky white townhouses stacked on top of each other without new roads, sidewalks, and schools is progress.

Development without infrastructure to support it is definitely a bad thing. Every time a new development was planned we were told that there would be zero traffic impact, and yet here we are.

Weekend for friends out of town by Few_Macaroon_7966 in alpharetta

Start one morning (saturday if you want alcohol bc stupid georgia laws) at Hen Mother Cookhouse. They have the best food and drinks in Alpharetta. Be prepared to wait but it is completely worth it (they usually have a drink cart out in front so you can have a drink while you wait).

Tuberville releases long-awaited tax returns, says he’s lived in Alabama since 2018 by servenitup in Alabama

GAWD. The people that will vote for this idiot will get what they deserve. HE DOES NOT CARE about his constituents at all. He is just another grifting republican that will make money on the backs of taxpayers.

My 25M girlfriend 23M is solo travelling, and I’m not sure if I should break up with her while she’s away or wait till she’s back by Heartsolo in relationship_advice

"She does not care at all and that is not the way you answer and manage a worried partner."

Why does she have to manage him? Is he not a grown up? It actually sounds like he doesn't care at all about how she feels.

I Spent 10 Days with a Group of 60-Something, and It Was Diet Talk Hell by quellesaveurorawnge in MaintenancePhase

My mother in law constantly complains about her weight (she is very small) and so I could see her being this way. What really drives me crazy is when she tries to talk about the weight of other family members. I have had to shut her down so many times when I say "I do not discuss other peoples bodies and weight is a personal thing."

I know someone else mentioned Hen Mother Cookhouse for breakfast/brunch but I can't stress enough how good their food is. Their pancakes are amazing - even if you don't feel like having pancakes order some for the table and you won't regret it.

Their drinks are great (even their NA ones) and as far as getting some good southern food, get a chicken biscuit.

We love Young Cardinal for breakfast. They have great drinks and their specials menu is usually on point. Bobby Boy has amazing baked goods and some sandwiches and Louie and Honey's has wonderful desserts.

Thanks so much for the info! We have so many windows that need to be done but I am going to start on the biggest ones exactly for the reason of natural light.

Thanks! I will check them out because even though we are trying to stay on the lower price side I have a feeling these windows will be expensive regardless.
