Im a wet sore tree whacking mess

I bought a bush trimmer in hopes that I would get my yard looking good and was really hoping that what I bought would only cut limbs from my bushes and trees and not me lol. I was looking at small chainsaws but the thought of using one absolutley terrified me as I dont even have good luck with my riding lawn mower. I have caught it up on my gardens edging and even hit my new car with it. Yes Im dangerous around mechanical equipment but hey Im a woman and thats a mans job lol. Oh yeah I also took down a downed power line with my lawn mower just ask Glenn about that lol. So I was at Lowes yesterday and bought the bushtrimmer which is like a baby chainsaw I read the instructions and safety instructions and as my luck would have it I did get careless and almost had a accident because I was totally not thinking and put my hand in front of the gaurd and umm noticed my finger was only about 2 inches from the blade egads that scare sure opened my eyes I made a mental notation to not do that again as I am kind of attached to my limbs and like it that way. Anyways I did trim the bushes and cut down quite a bit of Florida jungle in my back yard today it looks like hell but the last time I did it with the manual hedge clippers it still looked like hell and this time it was alot easier to get them to look like that
