Excerpted from: From Ignorance to Innocence, #30
"I do not teach the ego, hence I cannot teach surrender, because surrender is nothing but the subtlest form of the ego.
"Surrender is not against the ego, it is in fact an act of the ego. Who surrenders? And by surrendering, who becomes humble? Who becomes meek? It is the ego standing upside down. It makes no difference whether the ego is standing on its legs or on its head. In fact it is more dangerous when it is on its head because then you will not be able to recognize it.
"Jesus says, 'Blessed are the meek,' but what is meekness? 'Blessed are the humble,' but what is humbleness? Can a man who has no ego be humble? How can he be humble? Who will be humble? A man who has no ego has no way to be meek or to be humble. He cannot be an egoist on the one hand; he cannot be a humble person on the other hand.
"To teach surrender is to give you a strategy to hide your ego, to sublimate your ego.
"Yes, that's the right word, sublimation Freudian word, very significant. You can sublimate anything, so much so that recognition becomes impossible. You may even start thinking that this is the very opposite of the original thing. Meeting a humble man you will feel how egoless he is he also feels how egoless he is. The ego has come from the back door and now it is no more condemned, but appreciated.
"And why is a meek person, a humble person appreciated? That too is a strange story. He is appreciated because he fulfills everybody else's ego. Just see the whole game of it. Why do you appreciate a humble person? because being humble to you he buttresses your ego. And because your ego is buttressed, you in response buttress his humbleness.
"Now a vicious circle is created. He will become more and more humble because everybody loves his humbleness. He gains respectability, and everybody enjoys his humbleness because everybody is being satisfied by his humbleness it is a deep satisfaction for the ego.
"Yes, blessed are the humble and the meek because without them how are the egoists going to be contented?
"And when you say, 'They shall inherit the kingdom of God,' then naturally one is ready to do anything.
"I want you to understand it clearly:
"Ego and surrender are two sides of the same coin.
"I don't teach the ego, so how can there be any place for surrender in my religion? I don't teach you to be meek, I don't teach you to be humble.
"I teach you to be authentic, integrated individuals with immense self-respect. The word self-respect may create doubts in your mind because self-respect seems to mean again the ego. It is not so. You have to understand both words, 'self' and 'respect'; both are significant.
"Self is that which you are born with.
"Ego is that which you accumulate.
"Ego is your achievement.
"Self is a gift of existence to you. You have not done anything to earn it, you have not achieved it; hence nobody can take it away from you. That is impossible because it is your nature, your very being.
"Ego is all that you go on accumulating through education, manners, civilization, culture, schools, colleges, universities.... You go accumulating it. It is your effort, you have made it, and you have made it so big that you have completely forgotten your real self." Osho

why would you work to get so far down fury for enrage, but then not pick up Improved defensive stance?
As a tank I'm fairly sure that you'll dodge/parry/block at least once every 12 seconds, which means you'd get a 10% enrage effect almost 100% of the time anyways.
Is the spec you want with 2 floating points for you to decide what to put them in (improved disciplines for raid tanking, 2% more crit in fury, or 2% more block chance, whatever you like)
the UA build is NOT an aoe build, lacking shockwave and damage shield are major components to aoe threat.

Comments about JanSport TULARE BACKPACK:
This pack is made of solid construction with really comfortable straps that distribute the weight of the pack nicely. There's lot's of pockets. Everything has a place and nothing is bouncing around loose in a big compartment. It even has a compartment that I dedicate to my ipad. Doesn't fit my 17" mac laptop in the laptop sleeve (which is why it says "fits 15" laptop"), but it fits just fine in the main compartment. I opted for the black, but the colors are pretty nicely done as well. I think the cool green color is out of stock now. Go figure. That was the one I sorta had my eye on too. Anyway, did I mention there's lots of pockets.

Mitsubishi Lancer, Outlander Sport named 2013 IIHS Top Safety Picks
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Dec 27th, 2012 at 2:16PM
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has added a pair of Mitsubishi models to its ever-growing list of 2013 Top Safety Picks, giving the prestigious safety award to the 2013 Outlander Sport and Lancer (sedan and Sportback). Both models make a return visit to the list, but with 117 cars now on the list and IIHS crash standards getting tougher just about every, this is big news for the small Japanese automaker. Among small SUVs, the Outlander Sport is just one of nine vehicles in this segment to be named a Top Safety Pick, while the Lancer's name is surrounded by 28 other compact... Read More

Hope and Glory in Tanzania
Did you know that 4 in 10 Tanzanian women can't read or write? Intel Education Service Corps and World Vision are educating and training Tanzanians like Glory Albert to give them new opportunities for better jobs and a brighter future.
What difference can one teacher make? In Tanzania, where 40 percent of girls are illiterate and youth unemployment is over 40 percent, Glory Albert provides the answer.
Every day that Glory stands in front of her class of 45 secondary students, she disrupts traditional views of women. A college graduate herself, Glory tells the girls in her class that "they have to fight as boys. They have to construct their own house." And through her own example, she shows the boys in her class what a woman can accomplish when she receives the support of her family and tribe.
Glory has already changed the future of girls like Aimbora, an orphan being raised by grandparents who cannot read her report card and do not actively support Aimbora's schooling. Glory has taken extra time outside of school hours to inspire and encourage Aimbora, who is on her way not only to graduating but to pursuing a college degree.
At a school where books, chalk, and desks are in short supply, Glory also gives her students a glimpse of a future driven by technology. Glory owns her own laptop and uses skills she learned through training provided by Intel Education Service Corps and World Vision to download course material and print lessons for her students. Her efforts inspire her students and fellow teachers to attend similar training programs—learning computer, vocational, and entrepreneurial skills that can help them find jobs or create their own employment opportunities.
Of course, Glory is not the only teacher who is changing Tanzania from the inside. In just two years, the Intel Education Service Corps has provided computer training to more than 1,000 teachers and community members in Tanzania, as well as in Kenya, Rwanda, and Senegal. The Intel Education Service Corps and World Vision also recently partnered with the British Council and Microsoft on a new initiative called "Spark a Child's Digital Future," which is rapidly expanding technology and training to more Sub-Saharan African countries.
The goal of each training program is to create more role models like Glory, whose presence makes a difference not just to one student or one classroom, but to the future of Africa.
Intel® Education
Supporting effective use of technology to improve learning, productivity, and collaboration, and advance the global knowledge economy.
Girls and Women Worldwide
Intel's programs for women transform the lives of girls and women around the globe, improving the lives of their children, families, and communities.

I bought this chair because I had used one in the past. I also bought it for the thickest cushion on the market. It does have that little drop down when you sit that makes you feel like you are going to fall, that did not used to be there, may they changed there patent? It still provides the comfort I am used to though, just don't like the drop down

BALLOT BOX BUNNY (Warner Bros., 1951)

Now, enjoy the fabulous Warner Bros. style of background art... unashamedly cartoon-eey!

these are really neat! it's interesting too that you say they're cartoony but design wise there's not too much unnatural happening, it's really all in the color. it seems like there's a lot of mostly flat feeling color with very little detail on the buildings and whatnot but were they filled in differently i bet they would take on a much more naturalistic appearance. it's fun to see how much color alone can do!

This may have the best examples of Paul Julian's Old West/Victorian style of architecture.
I've always liked hunting for names of the staff. I never noticed the ones on the statue before. Is 'Nicholson' Sam Nicholson? I'd still like to know who Josiah Freep was.

Awesome backgrounds. I love how solid the perspective was in those days. the compositions where very strong and constructed with a lot care. Another good movie for backgrounds with dynamic perspective is american tale and fievel goes west. The sense of scale is fantastic.

Hi Rob and congratulations,
Amazing research into a fantastic world! I myself am a great admirer of cartoon background artists' work! One of my favourite collections is in the 1957 "Deduce you Say" short. I am still searching for a collection of these works all compiled in a book or a website! Again, great work, don't give up mate! Best regards from Crete, Greece.

Supergoop Customer ReviewsEveryone should use this...all over! - 9/17/2014 8:53:10 PM This is the best sunscreen ever. I use it all over...I have no idea why they only market this as a hand cream? First, it's a good size, second, it's in a pump, and third it's a great sunscreen. Does not have perfume added, great ingredients, is not greasy, not drying, feels like you don't have a sunscreen on, yet you do. I use it on face, neck, arms and hands every day. I highly recommend!Never Again - 7/2/2014 4:41:44 AM They say it's towel safe but watch out, it's not safe for your light colored clothing. I ruined a pair of white capris but wrote it off to sweating too much after applying but now that I've got 2 other pairs of capris that are discolored I know to stop using this product. Nothing will take these stains out!!!! I've tried Oxyclean, soaked in bleach, rust out.Best one-step product - 5/26/2014 8:56:23 PM I don't wear much make-up and this fits the bill. It's light weight yet conceals what I need it to. I don't even bother with putting a setting powder over it and my skin is usually oily in the heat and humidity of summer. I get great coverage and sun protection all rolled into one!The best! - 4/30/2014 8:30:01 AM I received a sample of this CC cream in a Birchbox and completely fell in love. It provides a medium coverage finish and really melts into your skin. It looks velvety and blends really well. The coverage is really buildable, so if you want a more full coverage finish, it can work for that as well. What I love most about it is the staying power. My skin looks just as good at the end of the day as it does in the morning, but it never looks cakey or "make-upy" (if that makes sense). I'm so glad they came out with a fair-light shade since I'm really fair and the light-medium was just a touch dark for me in the winter.A Very Good Balm - 4/4/2014 5:46:56 AM I really like this balm: it's non-sticky, moisturizing, absorbs quickly, smells great, and offers a high SPF level. Will definitely purchase again.I like it - 3/12/2014 3:17:57 PM Wasn't to sure about this one. I read the reviews by others and thought I give it a try. I am pleased with the coverage and the spf 35. Have used Jane Iredale "Dream Tint" which is good and very light weight but the spf is a 15 and I was looking for something higher with summer approaching. Good fine.Best facial sunscreen out there! - 11/14/2013 8:05:36 PM This sunscreen is absolutely the best, especially for sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't give me that white "kabuki" face. Highly recommended.Love this product! - 6/5/2013 7:22:21 AM I received this as a sample, and ended up loving it so much I ordered the full size product. I've never been a 'foundation' person, I've always used a tinted moisturizer. This product is amazing. It goes on so smooth, and provides excellent coverage with a natural look. Just a dab will do, it goes a long way! Plus, the SPF is an added bonus! I would highly recommend this product!!! :)The best I've every tried - 5/12/2013 1:52:22 PM I've tried many moisturizers with coverage before and they were always too light. They never smoothed out my skin tone. This is the best. Love it!Liked the concept, but... - 4/3/2013 11:17:17 AM This product did not provide any color. I have fair skin and only use this as a sunscreen now. Will not repurchase. Also, I don't know why it's called a mousse. The texture is rather heavy and hard to apply evenly.

Supergoop founder Holly Thaggard created the brand with a very important goal in mind: give consumers a formula that they can wear 365 days a year to protect them from UV rays and, at the same time, make their skin healthier.
The Supergoop products are powered by many nourishing ingredients. Vitamins E and B5 help your body to process nutrients, plus they stimulate cell renewal. Hydrovotin 24 encourages your skin to stay moisturized, creating a barrier to keep environmental stressors at bay. Uniprotect PT-3 supports your body's ability to repair itself at the cellular level. The natural oat peptide complex promotes the production of collagen, the protein that provides structure and firmness to your skin. Vitamin C helps to repair the damage caused by past sun exposure, and then brightens and evens your complexion. Shea butter deeply conditions your skin.
Supergoop is proud of what it doesn't contain, too. The line is free of parabens, petrochemicals, and fragrances. No animals are used when testing the products, so the brand is cruelty-free, too. And Supergoop never includes oxybenzone in its formulas. The chemical oxybenzone is an ultraviolet filter and is commonly used in sunscreens. Recent studies have indicated that the risks outweigh the UV-blocking benefits of oxybenzone. Some studies show that oxybenzone could interfere with hormone production. Another study suggests that by absorbing oxybenzone, skin may exhibit free radical damage. Thus, all of the products from Supergoop are oxybenzone-free.

Here are just a few-- Union turnpike with all the Jewish deli's, (.90 corned beef sandwiches) great Italian places (with real Italians running them!), the bowling alley (how much a game, .50??!!!), Lorenzo's pizzaria (1.25 for two slices and a drink)bagels, bagels, bagels, the movie theater with matrons taking care of you if you were under(how old? can't remember)

Anybody out there from around 187th street and 73rd avenue?
Robin's MemoriesHi Robin, It's Debra Davidson. Yes, I think we all had that crush on Jerry Frey our adorable Earth Science teacher. With his curdory jackets and his scotch plaid tie that indicated we were getting a surprise quiz! A bunch of us actually dropped him on him in his apt in downtown Flushing once. He was mortified!
And wasnit that store the "Bead Bowl"?
I remember Susan Rosenberg causing a commotion by wearing "hot pants" to a sweet 16 party held at the Steak Pub---maybe Linda R's?
I'm still in NY--in Manhattan. Where are you?
71st Cres.Hi Robin:
My aunt, uncle and 2 cousins grew up on 71st Crescent. My cousins are Barry and Billy Mechanic. Did you know them?
I lived on 65th Crescent and went to 179, not 26. My last name is also Mechanic.
Barry MechanicHi Marcy,
I went to PS 26 with Barry Mechanic and saw him at our reunion in 2001. What fun! Barry is a nice guy and was a nice guy as a child.
reply to RobinHi Robin:
When I was told about this site, I called Barry to
tell him about it and I heard that he attended your
reuion. I think that is so great that you all were
able to have such a wonderful event! I moved
from Fresh Meadows in the middle of 6th grade at
179 up to Rockland County - but my cousins lived
there and my grandparents lived in the 13 story
building(their windows faced the circle with the
tree they always lit for the holidays) for many
years after we moved, so I sort of never really left
FM - I took my 14 yr old daughter back and we
walked all over thru the Oak Grove and it was
great to show her where I spent so many happy
years! So glad I was able to read all the great
posts - Fresh Meadows was indeed a very special
place to grow up! Take care!
Ryan JHS at alWent to Ryan with Barry and Steve Perlmutter. We all went to Jamaica High with Richard Zelman. Wemt to PS 178, Hillcrest the bagel store, cunningham park lived on 190th street and 81st ave. Hard great times.
Steve PerlmutterWent to PS 26 with Steve Perlmutter. We had a PS 26 reunion in 2001 and many of us were hoping to see him. If you're in touch with him, tell him I said hi!
the neighborhoodjust found this site. Wow! I also went to PS 26 (70), Ryan(73) & Lewis(76). I lived in the 20/21 story bldg. I'm still in the area and get to see how it's changed, but I still remember plenty.
Francis Lewis Class of '76 30 year reunionRonnie V,
Don't miss the 30 year reunion for the FL class of '76. Go to Greatreunions.com for details! It's in June 2006.

Steven Kaufman
wow!just came across this site. I grew up on 195th St and 75th Ave. PS 26 with Mr Clark as principal, Mrs Levy for 6th grade - best teacher ever! I was just retelling the story today about "the bagel place" on the way to Hillcrest. Uncle Harry's candy store around 170th street? Those were the fun times!
FMMarcy - know you made that post a couple of years ago, but just had to say that I never put it together that Billy Mechanic was your cousin. Went to Hillcrest JC with him and Stephen Leichter; the three of us used to ditch music class and play ball in the stairwell. :^)
to:hebrooksI was in Mrs. Levy's class with you. I still have our class picture in my "slam book" and I could even pick you out. Dark hair, tall enough to be in either the top row or one right below. (Don't ask me what I did yesterday.) I was best friends with Ricki, who, thanks to the internet, I found last year and re-established our friendship which fizzled when I moved to Pa. right after 6th grade.
growing up on 71st crescentOh My God! How wonderful to find all this nostalgia about Fresh Meadows! I too grew up on 71st Crescent (2 different duplexes - 35F and 45A) and went to PS 26 from '61-'67, K though middle of 5th when I moved to Manhattan...ugh, culture shock! Went to FM nursery (later called Creative)...at PS 26 had Longobardo, Messina, Hudtwalker, Sheehan (and then Sheinberg - who was AWESOME), Semat and Levy (also awesome!)... sledding on the hill behind the nursery and the 20/21 story building...remember the noon sirens?? Lox-O-Rama on 188 St for bagels and lox EVERY Sunday...Bloomies and the movie theater (Century Meadows, I think)....and the best climbing trees anywhere!!! Thanks so much for bringing me back!!
71st CrescentI almost forgot...anyone remember Sweets N Treats, the candy store across the street from 26? I couldnt wait to go there after school for penny candy and either Spaulding or Pennsy Pinkie red rubber balls! (cost 25 cents as I remember)
Ryan JHSI was that major crush. The science teacher who wore the corduroy and and the test tie. Never thought of myself as a crush. Was balding and putting on weight at the time. Nice to know I am remembered. Taught 39 years before retiring. The years at Ryan were my first and most wonderful teaching years. I was only 23 years old the first year at Ryan. Anyone remember Mr. Bernstein. I married his wife's first cousin. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Live in Florida (Daytona)
This is a wonderful board, but it appears to have been dormant for about 4 years. I lived on 194th St between 75th Avenue and Union Tpke. I went to P.S. 26 and remember all my teachers: Mrs. Iverson, Miss Scharf, Miss Gosch, Miss. Semat. Then we moved to the other side of GCP and I went to P.S 178.Barry Mechanic, you were in my cub scout group along with Jerry Thayler, dead young. Steven Perlmutter, I remember you too. Nancy Bader, Maxine Zeidberg. I went to Hillcrest J.C. Then went to Ryan J.H.S. Teachers, let's see: Mrs. Keller, Mr Berkovic (Math), though he was older than me, Joe Walsh of The Eagles went to Ryan.I ended up getting my Master's from Columbia, my Ph. D. from NYU. I teach in CUNY and live in the West Village. I think of the old neighborhood always.
I also lived on 71st Crescent between 1963 and 1968. I lived in the garden apartments right behind " The Farmer ". Went to PS 26 for 2 years, then Ryan for 3. Steven Meisel, famous NYC fashion photographer was in my grade at Ryan. I also played ball in the large grassy area between the duplexes with Steve Kaufman. Bought rubber balls at Sweets and Treats on 69 Ave right across from 26. Moved to LI for high school, but still tell everyone that I'm from Fresh Meadows. Lots of smart and athletic kids. Now a cardiologist in Fla, nearly 60 y.o. Great childhood memories. Keith Meyer

TruGreen Service = TruDisappointment
Posted by
FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA -- I received a letter from this company inquiring as to why I canceled my lawn service. I responded with a very detailed letter and was not even given the courtesy of a response. I am hoping that if I put forth the effort to put this on the internet for others to see that may be someone will decide it is worth their time and effort to respond. One day a salesman John Hutton came to my door from your company asking to treat my trees and shrubs. I have a lot of htem, so we walked out into hte yard and looked at all of htem, and he said he could treat them for $39. That was a great price so I signed up for it and he said he would send someone out hte next week to do the job. All went accordingly and a guy shows up at my door and says he is there to do the job, but that he would not do all the trees for that 39 dollars. I said that was the salesman's price not mine. So I called the salesman who had assured me that he would always be there to help me and I could have his cell number to call anytime. I told john what was going on and he siad he would talk to his supervisor and get back to me. In the mean time I asked hte service tech if he could at least treat my two big trees that were not looking too healthy. He did and left a bill for the 39 dollars. I never heard from John again and called the local office to inquire as to the status a couple of weeks later. The lady said she would look into it and give me a call. She never did as well so some time later I called again and hte lady said she would send someone out on Monday to finish the job. No one ever came. I called the national number in TN and the lady was very sympathetic and said she would contact hte local office again sometime later, because now it is about the principle of the thing and happened to get a guy named Jesse, who listened to my story and said he did not work in that office but that he would, as he was filling in for someone else, come and take a look. Surprise surprise, he shows up an hour later and I tell him the story again and he says that the tech should have never refused to treat all hte trees as that was not his call and that he would personally see that the guy came out and finished the job on Monday. Low and behold hte guy comes and does the rest of the treatment, but later I find that he has left me another bill. I had already paid hte first one, which I see was a big mistake on my part. So I call and get the TN office and she agrees that is is an error and says she will fix it. Then I get another bill and it is not fixed, so I call and want to speak to the local office and they tell me that I cannot talk to them, everything must come through them. After more attempts, I do get to the local office and the lady says she will issue the credit and do I want to cancel the service. I am pretty hot by now so I said yes and she says she will send me a check, since I had prepaid the entire year service for the lawn. I asked her when I could expect it and she said 5 to 7 days. Two weeks go by and no check so I call again and she again says she will process it and it will be 5-7 more days. So I ask for her sueprvisor and she says there is no one in at this time and it will be after 5 before one arrives. I said fine, have her call me. She never calls. I call back hte next day and ask to talk to the sup that was supposed to call me back. I do not remember her name and she was there and I asked why she did not call me back and she said she was supposed to issue a refund and since it was taken care of she did not feel a call was warrented. I asked her since the check was supposed to take 5-7 days to process does that mean the original one was never processed and I was lied to about it the first time and she says yes. I cannot tell you how many hours I spent on the phone with so many people, telling and retelling the story to that point, which got longer and longer, and alonger. I was frustrated to tears, never finding anyone who seemed competent to do their job, from service to billing and customer service. I am amazed that you are in business. Which is a shame because my lawn was looking good. If I do not hear from you I will then know that this goes all the way to the top. I would not have written this letter as I was resigned to let it go after getting my check until I got my letter from you asking why I wanted to cancel my service and how to get me back as a customer. That would take a lot of nerve if it was not just a mass mailing form letter. It did give me your name and position to vent the reason too. So here you are it is all in your hands from here. In all the businesses I have worked at there are problems, and you cannot fix problems you do not know about. Now you know, ball is in your court. This is the worst customer experience of my life. There was no place where the buck stopped.
John Rodgers - General Manager at TruGreen - this was sent to you directly in the middle of December 2010. It is now Feb 1st and I have yet to hear from you. ...the ball is still in your court.

Harassment and potentially ruined my lawn
Posted by
Last year I signed up for the TruGreen lawn fertilization program. We had just moved into our new home and I wanted to hire someone to help keep the lawn nice as my time was limited. They came out every few months and walked around the yard spraying some kind of fertilization liquid on my lawn. It helped a little (maybe), I really wasn't impressed.
So this year I decided to do it myself. My father had just bought a nice spreader, so I borrowed it and bought some Scott's spring time fertilizer.
TruGreen had sent me an offer to purchase their services again this year via the mail. It had cost per application, or if I paid in full for the entire year I would get a discount. Since I decided to do my own fertilization this year I just tossed it aside.
So a few weeks back a nice day came along, and I spent an hour fertilizing my lawn. Went well, and that afternoon my wife and I ran out to lunch. We get back and we have bill taped to our front door. It was a TruGreen bill! They had come by (un-announced) while we were at lunch and re-fertilized my entire lawn! For those of you who do not know, double fertilizing a lawn can kill your grass if too much fertilizer is used.
You can imagine I was pretty upset. I immediately called them and inquired why they had just fertilized my lawn when I specifically did not renew with them this year. They told me their service "auto-renews" and that the letter I received in the mail was just to offer me different payment options. I went back and reviewed the document they sent me and sure enough in tiny print at the bottom it says the service auto-renews.
So at this point I realize, OK, I must have agreed to this small print at some point, so fine I take the blame for that. But why would they come out un-announced? What if I had a birthday party for my daughter planned that day and now no one could use the yard (since you are not supposed to go out on a freshly fertilized lawn). They did not have an answer, and said they usually notify folks. Well I cancelled the service and hoped my lawn would survive the double fertilization.
Next day I get a call from TruGreen. I'm thinking, oh they are calling to check how my lawn is doing, to make sure it isn't dying, how nice of them. No, they are calling to try to get me to sign-up for their fertilization package! I politely reminded them I had just cancelled the day before, and explained the whole double fertilization issue. The sales person still tried to get me to sign up, and I politely ended the call.
2 days later a TruGreen guy shows up at my door. OK, wow, these guys came to see how my lawn was doing, to make sure it wasn't burned out. No. The guy was trying to sell me on their fertilization package! Again, I politely told him I was not interested. He pressed me to make the sale. I said no thanks, I'm doing it myself. He would not leave. So then I went into the same story again about how pissed I was at them for not telling me they were coming out and eventually double-fertilizing my lawn, etc. He finally leaves.
At last, I think I have seen the end of TruGreen.
2 days later, the phone rings. TruGreen!!! This time the sales representative ignores my polite declines of his fertilization offer. I was being polite because I figured this guy has no idea, it is not his fault, he is probably being told to not take no for an answer in this economy. Well he would not let me get off the phone, and I had to go into my whole story with him. He then said "Well I promise that won't happen again, so can I get you signed up?" NO! YOU CANNOT SIGN ME UP! He then adds, "Are you sure, we can cut the price in half for the first 2 applications". Yeah, and I bet you will dilute my fertilizer by half for those as well.
No thanks!
Amazingly I have not heard from them since. Though I was out walking my dog the other day and I saw a TruGreen guy pitching a neighbor of mine... and my dog growled at him. Made my day... =)
Resolution Update 02/17/2013:
They apologized and my lawn turned out just fine.

To be safe I suggest that you send them a letter to cease-and-desist contacting you in certified mail.
jktshff1 on 04/26/2009:
TruGreen,really good name for someone who spreads chemicals. So what if there are weeds in the yard, ya cut it anyway and it looks fine. Golf courses, football fields, soccer fields have to be kept in shape for playing purposes.
Sparticus on 04/26/2009:
Not a bad idea Soaring, thanks. Yeah, I don't mind the weeds so much (we don't have too many problems with weeds, knock on wood!). But our grass has trouble in our neighborhood. The builder pretty much scraped all the top soil and sold it off before building, so everyone's lawn struggles each summer apparently. The fertilizer is to just help it stay alive... but the good thing about doing it myself... I plan only doing it once in the spring and maybe once in the fall... TruGreen wanted to do it SEVEN times during the summer season!
Buddy01 on 04/26/2009:
You were too polite. If they call again and won't let you get off the phone, just hang up. They are being rude and counting on you being polite hoping you will just say yes to get them to go away.
madconsumer on 04/26/2009:
did the lawn suffer any ailments?
did you water it to leach out the exsessive fertilizers?
Sparticus on 04/26/2009:
I think the last time they called I did just hang up. Felt like a jerk, but what can you do?
Fortunately I think they use a pretty watered-down version of fertilizer, and that combined with all the rain we've had lately the lawn seems to be fine.
DigitalCommando on 04/26/2009:
Spart, auto renewal clauses usually renew for one additional year. If they let you out of it you are lucky. Read your contract to see what the renewal term is. You should also check your bank and credit card accounts to see if they are still billing you.
Principissa on 04/26/2009:
We almost went with them for our lawn as well. The guy was an absolute jerk and it took TWO cease and desist letters for them to stop calling and coming to the house. We actually had to threaten the last guy who came here with a call to the police for harassment and trespassing before they finally got the hint to leave us alone.

I do complete organic fertilizing and use dried molasses as the agent. I always have the greenest yard in the neighborhood without harmful chemicals. I used to use TruGreen before I changed to organics, which is very inexpensive as well!
karieF on 03/15/2010:
Tell them to put you on their do not call list. They have to comply even if you were a customer according to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). If they call back, file a complaint with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) for violating the do not call request. Keep a log of the date, time and phone number of their calls. Also keep a log of the date and time of your requests to the company to put you on the list. Keep filing FCC complaints and they will be fined. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/donotcall/ and http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt136.shtm
PepperElf on 03/15/2010:
the Do Not Call doesn't usually work when it's a company you've been doing business with.
telling them in writing - send it registered mail - may help.
however yes, contacting the FTC can't hurt

TruGreen Acworth, GA ruined my lawn
Posted by
ACWORTH, GEORGIA -- Around 8 months ago I decided to follow a sales pitch of a TruGreen employee and signed up for a 1/4 treatment plan to keep weeds out and fertilize my then perfect conditioned lawn. They recommended a aeration and I agreed. Since then the lawn is ruined and looks from months to months worse. I assume that their infested aerator machine implemented a disease in my always healthy lawn - it was the best lawn on the block, lush green and like an expensive carpet. now I have island like brown patches, measuring around 20x 9 feet, and with a sporadic pattern. Complaining since the late fall, management finally showed up after calling 4 times (in Fall of 2010) with the promise to apply some minerals, which (quote) "will take about the dead grass and help to let new grass spread again". WRONG! It looks the same and even worse. Still the guys come out and apply and check always "Weeds" on their worksheet - didn't they promise *** control, and btw...I have no weeds left on the dead grass.
I am planning to get this story viral, with Youtube and a nice video showing before and after. Further will I contact the BBB and possibly the Attorney General office for this sleazy business practice. We are waiting now again since 3 weeks for a supervisor to come out, but nothing happens!
TrueGreen - get ready!

sounds like they burned your lawn. pull up some of the dead sod and verify there are no grubs.
to reduce the appearance of the dead grass, rake over it until it has been removed, then you are able to lay more sod or spread seed.
very helpful.
Nohandle on 04/17/2011:
Some people don't understand, especially those who utilize a lawn service, if the equipment is not cleaned after each home visit whatever disease was in the last lawn will be passed onto your lawn. Also if a neighbor has a diseased lawn it can spread to yours. Not gossip..a fact.
Do you perchance have a photo you can share? Sod is very expensive to have replaced. I know that firsthand.
Anonymous on 04/17/2011:
Scotts did the same to my lawn last year. I have used Trugreen for years with great success and switched to Scotts for the tremendous cost savings. They took my lawn down to dirt patches in some spots. I actually shed tears over it. My lawn is like my 5th child. I think I will review Scotts today.

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA -- I'm not a customer of TruGreen, but today I found a statement on my door saying they had treated my yard. The home that should have been treated was 20 doors down the street.
According to the service summary their "specialist" had used preemergents and herbacides on my yard. What's the problem, you ask. For years I've kept my yard free of these toxins and poisons. I grow berries and other food crops ORGANICALLY. They've destroyed years of work.
I called the local office and was told "we can't do anything". I asked that they bring a truck of pure water and clean the yard. They said that wouldn't help; the liquid toxins are already on the yard. The office said they didn't spray garden beds; but if the employee couldn't read large numbers on a mailbox to verify the address, I'm sure he couldn't discern what were bed plants and what weren't.
Since the summary left had the name, address, and phone number of the man whose yard should have been sprayed, I contacted him to let him know that TruGreen did no work on his yard and not to pay any bills they may send him.
I guess I'll just wait and see how bad the damage is to my yard and plants.

That's awful. You might need a lawyer, if your property starts to go downhill, but you'll also have to prove damages. Hopefully, your property will be OK. I understand you have kept your property free of toxins, and I really hope there isn't any damage later on.
raven2010 on 09/25/2010:
WOW, I would be livid beyond words if I were in your shoes. I have no idea how you could prove damages, however, it is quite obvious they have ruined your hard work.
Venice09 on 09/25/2010:
This may be a dumb question, as I know nothing about gardening, but how will you know if your yard and garden are ruined?
raven2010 on 09/25/2010:
Venice, I think if the OP is trying to grow organic, that is automatically ruined if the surrounding soil is treated chemically. I assume the chemicals are close to the garden and can seep over when it rains.
Just an assumption on my part, as I am clueless on gardening.
Venice09 on 09/25/2010:
I realize that the organic aspect of the gardening is compromised, and the OP views it as being ruined, but I don't think the company will see it that way if the garden continues to grow. I would be upset if this happened to me, too, but I just don't think there is any way the OP can prove damages or get the company to do anything about it. I also don't think this situation is permanent. Won't the pesticides diminish over time and eventually disappear?
PepperElf on 09/25/2010:
"I have no idea how you could prove damages, however"
they put toxins in the yard and left a sign stating that they did it. that's proof enough.
I'm all for the OP on this one 100% They had a nasty product FORCED on them and then were basically told "suck it up" when calling to complain.
Screw that. In my opinion the company is responsible for returning the yard to it's pre-chemical state. And if they say it's "too hard" because the chemicals have leeched into the soil... well then they have a LOT of digging due to to remove that tainted soil.
And if it's "too expensive" for them? Who cares. It's called a learning process for a reason... and the lesson is ... you do not have the right to force your product on unwilling people. And it's your responsibility to ensure you treat the right house.
Venice09 on 09/25/2010:
Pepper, you're right, but what you are suggesting just isn't practical. I'm sure the OP doesn't want her yard and garden dug up, and I also don't think watering it down will work either. If that were the case, a rainstorm would wash the product away.
I just think this is one of those things. I don't think it can be undone, and the only thing the company can do is offer monetary compensation, but that won't change the condition of the yard.
raven2010 on 09/25/2010:
Venice, I tried to google how long the pesticides would stay in the soil and could not get a straight answer.
I agree there is no real way to prove anything. However, if the OP is selling his fruits/veggies/herbs, he can no longer sell them as "organic"
jktshff1 on 09/25/2010:
Typically, a space must be free from pesticides and chemicals for as long as 3 yrs to be certified organic.
I would be livid if that happened to me...get a lawyer and explain to him his cut will come from the winnings..cause you will win this one. My yard and garden have been "organic" for several years.
PepperElf on 09/25/2010:
That's a kiss of death to anyone who is trying to sell the product as organic. No income from the garden - unless there's a chance you can legally sell the product to non-organic people. and that's assuming the toxins didn't make it unfit for human consumption, and that it's financially possible to re-label them in time
but after 3 years it will take a lot of work to get the word of mouth and reputation back to where it was pre-treatment.
madconsumer on 09/25/2010:
you can use zeolite to absorb the chemicals. you may have to look for it, but can be found in many garden centers that sell organic products.
broadcast onto contaminated soil to detoxify. rates can vary from 10- to 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet. more than 50 pounds won't hurt anything but is probably a waste of money.
Venice09 on 09/25/2010:
Raven, it didn't occur to me that the OP might sell the produce. If that's the case and they can no longer sell it as organic, I would take the company to court. Other than that, I don't know how far the OP would get with a lawsuit.
jktshff1 on 09/25/2010:
Pepper, nearly everything you purchase that is not organic has had pesticides, weed killers and God knows what else put on it or in the ground. Not to mention commercial meat and what is in the feed they give them.
Anonymous on 09/25/2010:
Even if they aren't trying to sell them and it's for their own consumption, they should be compensated for having to go out and buy organic produce elsewhere.
I was interested in mad's zeolite recommendation, as I've never heard of it before. Although it does sound like an interesting product, they don't mention it being used for removing pesticides from the soil, but it does sound beneficial in other ways. Thanks, mad, for enlightening me on this product. I do like to grow vegi's when I'm home and I'm going to look into this product.

PepperElf on 09/25/2010:
"nearly everything you purchase that is not organic has had pesticides"
the question isn't whether or not the food has pesticides but... whether or not the mix used by the lawn company is one that can be used on produce.
Venice09 on 09/25/2010:
If the mix shouldn't be used on produce, the OP can only hope that the worker did actually avoid the garden. Certainly this would be something the employees would know.
I agree that this is a terrible situation, but I just don't think there is much that can be done. The only thing the company could have offered was a genuine apology and possibly an amount of money to make up for the mistake, and as sing said, to buy organically grown produce.
This was an honest mistake. Maybe the house number on the work order was smudged or not clear for some reason. I don't think it happened because the worker couldn't read the number on the mailbox. The proper reaction to this mistake from the company could have made a world of difference. If they were sincerely sorry and offered a detailed explanation about how the work is done with an assurance that the garden was not sprayed, I think the OP might have felt a bit better. But if they didn't seem to care and only said there was nothing they could do, that would just add fuel to the fire.
Jkt, I worry more about meat than produce. If an animal is feed questionable things, there is nothing I can do about it. At least produce can be thoroughly washed.
PepperElf on 09/25/2010:
it doesn't matter, helpful.

Dishonest representation of services
Posted by
DAYTONA, FLORIDA -- The Salesman that set up our account offered us our first lawn treatment for $30.00 and then the balance of treatments would be $60.00. We agreed to get the first treatment. After this treatment was received, an invoice for $30.00 was received and paid. A few days later another invoice was received for the same application date for an additional $60.00. I called and cancelled my service with TruGreen and gave them an extremely detailed explanation. I have written and spoken to the Company and cannot get any satisfaction. I have now been turned over to a collection agency and am hopeful that this can be resolved.
Another Salesman for this Company came to my door last week and offered their services for $45.00 a month, quite different from the first Salesman. I told him of my dilemma and he wasn't in the least bit interested. I would never do business with this Company in the future. They are not an honest Company.

Where's the dishonesty? They quoted $90, they billed $90. Am I missing something?
Ytropious on 07/20/2010:
I think the OP is upset that the second salesman is quoting a lower price. A) How do you know the service/quality will be the same at this lower price and B) If you didn't want to pay 90 then why did you?

For some reason, this is bothering me "another invoice was received for the same application date". Maybe they were charged $30, paid it, then were billed an additional $60, for the same application? I don't know.
Anonymous on 07/20/2010:
Well if I read this correctly the first application was supposed to be $30 but the OP got billed $30 + $60 for the first application. Perhaps a misunderstanding but in the end the OP didn't get their 90 dollars worth because there were no subsequent treatments.
Ytropious on 07/20/2010:
Maybe they bill in advance? Like maybe the OP's contract of sorts started that day, so they had a separate bill for the first actual application, then a different one for other future applications? I really don't know.
Anonymous on 07/20/2010:
Thanks Dry and Stew, that makes more sense. I read it as they were billed $30 and then received another invoice of $60 for the remaining applications...which seemed to be correct.

Well this company sounds really shady. I use a lawn service. Juan charges a flat rate for the year. No contracts, no slick salesman or anything of the sorts. Just Juan and his cousins keep my lawn free of weeds.
A lot of these lawn care places are really shady. I know I would avoid TruGreen because although short in stature this review speaks volumes about TruGreen's business practices.

Of course they would bill in advance for the 2 latter treatments.

Here's how I hooked up with Juan. A few years ago he accidentally or so he says treated our lawn by mistake because he got the address screwed up. He didn't charge us a cent of course but left his card with us in case we were happy with his work. Now I don't know what he sprayed on the lawn but our yard never looked better.

My Mom used TruGreen for a number of years in Tulsa. Had no problems. No contracts.

You are missing the concept of this. I was told the first application would be $30.00, which was invoiced and paid. I received a second invoice for an application dated the same day for an additional $60.00. The $60.00 is not a prepayment for my next applicationm it stated it was for an application on the same day as the invoice for $30.00. I have not paid this $60.00 nor would I since it was not what I was quoted.

Ah...that clears up a lot. What did they say when you called them?
Jalbie on 07/23/2010:
They don't say anything, but they send letters asking why I don't respond. I have sent letters and they do not respond to them either.

Your complaint is missing details.
let me say though that anytime I read that someone was 'harassed' or 'talked into' or 'convinced to buy' something, I generally chalk it up to a lesson learned by the adult who refused to say NO.
