Truth be told, I have never noticed a weed problem in SoHo's New York. Perhaps I have not been invited to the right parties. I advocate pulling garden weeds by hand instead of using chemicals. Every time. Do it for our planet.
Did you know that early spring of last year, all the stores here were selling out all their round-up products as the chemicals are no longer legal here to use. Well, that is the original formula. Round-up now has a supposedly earth friendly blend. I bought one as my neighbors are keen on growing huge thistle plants and one managed to get a grip in the dirt behind out garage. This thing got so big that it was taller then me! Neglectful I know, but I used almost the whole thing of earth friendly round-up on it and it didn't even wilt a leaf. The stalk was so think, the hubby had to cut it down with an electric saw!
-whoa, sorry went on a bit of a tangent there...ha ha
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.
