"I was sick all last week." "But your fine now, isn't that better?"
;)

My neighbors see them as weeds too. I see them as one of the earliest pollen sources for my native bees. We respectfully disagree. ;)
I kill them in yard. Farmers kill them in fields but they are free to grow elsewhere and in some people’s yards. I’m good with that.
