"I don't care to..."
We spent the day tearing down a deck on my father's house in order to build him a new one - though we (yay!) found out that the basic structure was sound so we'll have much less actual construction to do. But it was in the low 90s and we were tearing down lots of walls and railings, so when my sister and I headed for the Home Depot to buy hangers, we were fairly mucky.
As we crossed the parking lot, she said to me, "This is the only place I don't care to come when I'm dirty, because I've been working."
Whenever I come back here, I have to get used to that. For me, "don't care to" remains "don't want to". For her - and lots of people here - it's "don't mind".

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Right, and there are regions where "don't mind" works the other way, too:
Q: Do you want chocolate, or vanilla?
A: Oh, I don't mind which.
Yes its very true, when we are working we should not care about what others will say.If we have a good lawn then definitely we are going to have a very good response from our friends and from creatures too.
