Snag A Man Plan #8 - Strong arms required

This post has come about entirely because of my roommate, who has decided that she'll mow the lawn this weekend. I've been happily mowing the lawn since we moved into our house, but the lawn needs it, and I will be out of town Friday-Sunday. So I gave my roommate a lesson today on the mechanics of the mower.

I decided that we ought to make sure that she could start the mower on her own. But after several hard cranks resulted in sputtering only, I thought for sure, we might need a man to get the mower going. And while our mower was actually just out of gas, I realized that not being able to start your mower would be the perfect way to snag a man.

Process is easy: don't mow your yard until it must be done. Then find a neighbor/male friend to give you a hand starting the mower. He gets to rescue you. You get to offer dinner/brownies in gratitude.

Ta da! Man snagged! So get to mowing!
