Additional Comments: What a crock.Ridge lives in a mansion and his lawn is HHUUUUGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE,yet Bell expects us to believe that Ridge actually mows the yard.Does he trim the roses too? Does he wear his designer duds while he's doing the yard work? Well now that we know that Ridge does yard work.can we surmise that Stephanie does the laundry,or wash the dishes? Does Thorne get the old bucket and soap and wash his own car? Does Nick service the Marlin? Come on Bell Ridge no more mows the yard than you would.
The post further below about Ridge mowing the lawn himself because he'd be concerned that Brooke would sleep with a professional lawn mower guy is funny! Anyway, imho, since the Forresters are supposed to be SOOOO wealthy, living in mansions, etc. it would sure seem that they'd have a whole staff of landscapers, including people to mow the lawn.
(in fact, didn't Shane McGrath pretend to be one of the gardeners at Taylor's house when he came on the show?)

Message: You know, I dare to say this but I actually CAN picture Ridge mowing the lawn. Ridge was always the one flaunting his experience working even the most menial jobs at Forrester as he supposedly worked his way up the ranks. Plus, they never hesitated to show him sitting at a sewing machine in previous years (okay, I really only remember seeing that when he once made Bridget a dress when she was a baby, but still...) Nah, I never thought he had that elitist attitude of refusing to do manual labor. But that's JMO. :)
Just because he lives in a mansion doesn't mean the yard is big. You might be surprised to see how close together some of the mansions are in L.A., even in the very exclusive neighborhoods. Plus, a lot of homes have just a small lawn and the rest of the property is scrubby desert land. It takes too much water to maintain a large lawn there.
But I do agree it's hard to picture Mr. Silver Spoon mowing a lawn no matter how large or small it may be.

Message: Maybe Ridge feels he has to mow the lawn because if he hires a guy to do it Brooke might sleep with the lawn mowing guy. You are totally correct in the fact that there is no way someone like Ridge would mow the lawn. You did make me laugh about Stephanie doing the laundry (that picture is going through my head).
