I'm sure I've gone off on this before, but it's worth repeating. I hate, let me repeat that, I HATE those giant blow-up lawn ornaments and 'tis the season for them to start appearing on lawns everywhere. Take note: I'm ok with ONE PER YARD, but when you live in, say, the city and have a 10 ft by 10 ft yard, I'm pretty sure you don't need Winnie-the-Pooh on a sled, giant cartoon ghosts, Snoopy dressed as a zombie AND a life size haunted house in your tiny yard. It's just not necessary folks. I propose an ordinance be passed-one giant blow-up lawn ornament per yard-NO exceptions. You can pick whatever goofy one you want-but you only get one, so make your choices wisely. I'm already sick of driving by the many Halloween wonderlands in my neighborhood, and we haven't even begun the Thanksgiving and Christmas spectacular. Good Lord.

can't agree with you more, kerri. i can't stand those things. they are so tacky. though i think they should be completely outlawed. not even one per lawn.
A big ditto from me too KD. I think you're being more than generous with your "one per yard" ordinance. Got the same issues a few doors down. I always get excited when I see a yard full of a bunch of deflated ones, thinking that some vigilante and/or hooligan popped them...but sure enough they're back up the next day. (Not sure why they're deflated nightly.)
Ladies, I happen to agree that there actually should be none allowed, but I felt like I'd be generous today. Not sure why I'm being so nice since I'm usually not. Maybe I'm getting sick....... :)
Hey KD, one is ok,maybe two if you have a big yard, but trying to cram everything into one small yard where the dog can't find room to poop is ridiculous...lol.
The one's I really hate are the giant snow globe one's....now if only I had a bb gun....lol
LOL Blue! And I'm TOTALLY with you on the giant snow globe ones. Completely uncalled for!!! :)
Ohhhhh, the snow globes! NO!!!
They have 'em in California too, Blue??? I really had inflated lawn ornaments pegged as a Midwestern speciality.
Yeppers, we have inflatable lawn ornaments out here, thanks to WalMart. But since I live in a small town, with lots of farms around, people tend to use the hay bales and make scarecrows and what not.
There is one house we call the Jeepers Creepers house, the guy has like homemade people figures all in front of his fruit groves, kind of creepy....lol.
so the inflatables are a global problem. maybe we should call the President about this one.....
Agreed! 45 million people without healthcare...they shouldn't be forced to look at inflatable lawn decorations!
Ah yes Blue - of course, Walmart. ("Always white trash...Always.") I think we need to work on a "SyFy" original movie about your neighbor's "people figures".
The positioning of Winnie & Eyeore in the pic is making me feel dirty.
I've been to many places around the world during my time in the military and I don't remember seeing inflatables, but maybe I was just blind to them. I think we need to contact Sector 7 (from Transformers)....lol
what about Tiggers positioning? Looks like he's um, going in for the kill......if ya know what I mean. :)
Jen, I have a story for you. I was onboard a ship once during the Thanksgiving holiday, someone decided to decorate the mess hall and make it look nice.
They put up those pilgrim cutouts that have the hinged arms and legs and what not.
Well one day I went down to eat and after my meal as I was leaving, I noticed that someone moved the pilgrim couple with their hinged appendages and arranged them in a doggy style position....lmao...I just laughed and thought to myself "we can never have anything nice"....lol
LMAO BLUE!!!! That doesn't surprise me one bit! Good times...
lol...bored sailors....idle hands.
Sailors? Did someone say sailors???
KD...lol
I think you should have made that trip to San Diego with Mr and Mrs Jen, I'm sure you would have seen one or two sailors...lol
Ha...maybe I'll have to next time. A single girl in her 30's can't be too choosy, Blue. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm this close to marrying my creepy downstairs neighbor that drives around in his old T-bird and wears muscle shirts. Oh, and did I mention his visor?
Snatch him up KD!!! Picture him in that visor...and nothing else.
Mr. Jen & I didn't meet any sailors (I totally had my eyes peeled too...shh!)BUT we did meet this realllllllllly cute Marine that was sitting near us at the Cubs game. He was by himself (aw), very chatty and completely adorable. And oh yeah - a Cubs fan! Shoulda came KD.
KD does he wear a bingo visor? One with a colored lens on it?....lmao
Why do I have this image of a Mickey Rourke, wearing a visor, living downstairs from KD....lol
this guy is no Mickey Roarke, even on Mick's best day. I'm not sure of the style of visor as I refuse to get too close but I can tell he has curly clown hair and other than going to work, doesn't leave his apt. I'm pretty sure he either has A. kidnapped children in the apt or B. dead bodies in the apt. Neither would surprise me.
I should say "even on Mick's WORST day". :)
If he's a Cub's fan, then your all set KD. Maybe one day he will invite you over for some funnel cake, puffed cheese balls and Shasta.
Blue...NO ONE here is a Cubs fan. Except for me. It's a lonely world, I tell ya. ;) Did you say funnel cake? Yummmmmm.........
You know, now that you mention it, it is a lonely world being a Cubs fan, well for me it is. Not many Cubs fans out here, but I do see them once in a while.
I am currently missing out on the Big Fresno Fair this month and missing out on the funnel cake and those big cinnamonnnnn rolls mmmmmmmm and the corn dogs and bbq and deep fried anything. Of with my current eating habits, just a small sandwich fills me up.
