[quote:Anonymous Coward 17584550:MV8yMDk1ODM4XzM1Mjk1NjI0Xzk4REZDNDgy] Why do you have to stop gardening to talk? Can't you multi-task? Buy him his own little kit of gardening tools. Give it to him as a present. Keep it with your stuff and when he comes by, break it out and hand it to him. He offered to help, right? Give him his own garden gloves, rake & trowel and take him up on it. It'll probably make him feel useful and talk less. Make sure you put his stuff away though when you're done though. Don't want him wandering over with them to work when you're not out there. [/quote]

My neighbor, an older man in his 80's has become a nusiance.
He always comes over to see what we are doing when we are outside working. I work a lot of hours, and my wife does too, so when we get a chance to work around the outside of the house its kind of annoying to stop work to talk to him. If I am raking leaves, he will say, hand me your rake and I'll help you. He inquires about our comings and goings and is becoming a nusiance. I know he is old, and probably does not have many people to talk to, but I want to shout at him and tell him how much I hate him being around, and to stay out of my yard. Any advice?
