My neighbor asked me to mow her lawn for $25. I mowed the front yard and the sides of the house and got $15. Now all that's left is the back yard.
I tried to mow it today and I looked down at my feet and ants completely covered my feet. So I took off my shoes and ran home, slapping my feet to get them off.
Should I tell my neighbor that I won't mow her backyard anymore?

"There are huge ant hills in the back! If you throw in some extra money though I'll kill them for you. I assist."
Then you get some ant killer and shoot away.

hope this advice will help you figure out what to do. Good Luck

meganlynn answered Friday July 14 2006, 2:25 pm: All you have to do is tell her what the problem is (ants everywhere) ask if she/he could possibly swing around some ant poison. If she reall wants her yard mowed then she wouldn't have a problem putting out a few bucks to by it. [ meganlynn's advice column | Ask meganlynn A Question ]
