I was just about to offer you my reel mower to use, but now I see Jamie's comment. He's your best bet, as my reel mower is the only one that works.

I don't even have a job right now and I'd mow your lawn for fucking free. What an asshole.

Holy shit, I would have exploded with rage--at least, after recovering from shock. Chances are I'd have stared blankly at him not sure I understood what was happening and then exploded later. I can't believe how ridiculous what he did is.

1. You need to find your inner bitch. I can assist with this.
2. Perhaps Rex has a meth habit he needs to feed.
3. Please tell me you post-dated that check to, like, the year 2025.

Oy.
