EU refuses to back a limited extension to glyphosate weed-killers opening the possibility of Monsanto Roundup and other weed killers being removed from shelves.

I have to use gloves - need some protection; fire ants, yellowjackets, snakes - you can get your ass in some serious shit just pulling dandelions down here.

F%$king subtropical sweatshop hell hole - I bitch and moan every summer but we never move.

Just wait 'till next year!

You could move to Alaska, and still the day you were out maintaining the landscape, it would be searing hot. And you've heard about the mosquitoes up there I assume....

Trying to talk the Mrs. into Vermont.
