Sometimes being around SD17 just turns me off on teenagers. Period.

But I gotta tell you all-the local high school kids volunteered to do lawn clean up for those who needed the help. I signed up, just because our yard has so many trees and is so big (in previous years, I actually filled a wheat truck-that's how many leaves there are). Those kids showed up this morning-raked and cleaned my folks place and then mine. I'm going to send them a huge thanks-those kids really worked - to help make our little community look spiffy.

Guarantee if SD17 lived her, she wouldn't have volunteered-it would require 1.-hard work and 2.-would wreck her expensive manicure.
