So you'd rather have dirt for your front/back yard? no astroturf.. The fake grass that looks real(not the old astroturf) is as expensive as fuck. We got an estimate on it for a small front lawn and it was  .Just curious... how much for how large an area? |

My wife is right there with you on the grass pollen hate. It messes her up bad. Hey, add to that astroturf some of the plastic pine straw and you'll be all set. Plastic yard! Maybe some plastic bushes and flowers too. Hmmm .... that could be a new business idea! Profit!

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: pollen count of 7.7 med high today.. Friday is 9.2 high.. ZOMG im going to die! It's been pretty bad out here too. Same here. Claritin all day long. We shoudl get some rain this coming tues/wends though. Should help. You would think that would help, but all it does out here is make the grass grow longer. As soon as this shit dries up, it's all good. I HATE wet springs. |

Quoted: How is it so many people have this problem?  and I live in WV the whole state is one big grass lot And I have zero trouble. You grew up around it then? Come out west and give the Sage or Western Incense Cedars a try... Nothing like a 150+ foot tall pollen machine to get the non-natives swollen up. Fuckers make your car yellow. |

OMG so true! my car is red. but i teh morning its yellow from all the pollen.. I remember growing up and having the Bay Area tourists just up in arms when they came out in the mornings and their Black and Silver Beamers were bright yellow from parking under a stand for just one night. They were upset and pissed about it, until their allergies kicked in, then they would swell up.  |

Fuckers make your car yellow. Actually I grew up just outside Salinas CA,never had any trouble;we had some big-assed grass that grew around the area,pull a stalk and shake it at the right time of year and it'll coat everything in some kind of pollen dust.... Love to do that as a kid

Try Flonase (or generic) if Claritin no longer works for you. I find no real side effects with either, your mileage may vary. It beats being miserable! Claritin failed for me this year. Now it's zyrtec. The really good stuff is strictly regulated by the .gov. because of the ephedrin. |

Now it's zyrtec. The really good stuff is strictly regulated by the .gov. because of the ephedrin. Zyrtec? Never tried that one. Flonase comes recommended by a talking bee, though. I find it difficult to trust any prescription drugs that lack an endorsement by a talking animated insect. Claritin was a cruel mistress indeed- right when the drug went generic it stopped working for me. Why? I dunno. |
