You may consider getting a discharge chute for it. I had one on a Honda and it was the best side-discharge system I've seen - great distribution of the clippings with no clumping or clogging. You would use this when circumstances force you too cut long/wet grass, or really at anytime you just want to try it. I've lately been doing at least as much discharging as mulching, and on dry grass at a normal cut (1" or less) you do not get piles of clippings that have to be dealt-with. When you're really up against it and have to cut tall grass and make a bit of a mess, the strategy is too come back in a day or so and bag it up or just go over it in mulch mode. Mulching or bagging just do not work with wet grass - particularly mulching, as the deck clogs up with grass slime. Years ago, Honda owners coined the phrase 'Green Slime' to describe what the 'Quadracut' mulching system does to grass with more moisture in it than optimum - it produces a paste that clogs the deck and is deposited in the wheel tracks, where it must be manually removed or it will kill the grass. With a discharge chute, you can avoid all that. I'd say its pretty much a necessity with a Honda and should be included with the sale.

>I live in zone 5b. I have an east-facing 6x15 fence that is shaded by a 100-foot tree, so that it gets about 3 hours of direct afternoon sun and 3 hours of (very) dappled sun through various trees. It might get a couple hours more of dappled sun once it makes it to the top of the fence. I'd like a climber to cover this fence Cornelia's blooms are not usually a straight pink, but have a lot of yellowish warmth, especially focused in their centers. Buds with a deeper shade of coral/strawberry red. Janet at Rogue Valley says: "I would say it will grow well in Zone 6 for sure, but may, quite possibly, survive in colder climates with just a bit of care." Barbara Wilde's Roses book lists this one for zones 4-10. Antique Rose Emporium says zones 6-9. Help Me Find says zones USDA zone 5b through 10b. Ghislaine De Féligonde's blooms change depending on the weather, but can have some definite apricot or orange shades, though most commonly the yellow colors are seen. Usually they fade quickly to very pale or white, though, so at any one point the bush has a large mix of warm colors. Barbara Wilde's Roses book lists this one for zones 5-10. Help Me Find lists the rose for zone 5. Either of these varieties ought to work for your spot, I'd guess. Plant two along the 15-foot distance and either variety ought to quickly fill it in and top your fence. Both are fragrant, flexible, and low in thorns. Both can work well in a pretty good bit of shade. If you don't also want a shrubby effect standing out from the fence but want more to use all the rose's leggy canes to covering the fence, Cornelia might be the better choice. If what you want to see is more like a full shrub that you could also take its longer canes to use for completely covering the fence behind it, then Ghislaine might be the one to choose. But they are not drastically different in form, according to all the pictures I've seen. (I've had Cornelia, but had to get rid of it with RRD after only one year. It did look as if it would make a wonderful climber that would easily do a good job in covering a fence, as far as everything I could see in the rose's habits.) Ghislaine's pictures lead me to believe that that one would cover every square inch of the fence in a large dose of vigorous growth everywhere. You might get by with just planting one rose in the middle, but I'd use 2 if I were doing it. Using 3, it would fill in in a really big hurry and perhaps ask for some pillars and a trellis too!

Storklady, It is okay to raise the price of something once it's listed. A Seller can change the price as often as they want, with no time restrictions. Etsy does not control or dictate to us what something is priced at - we do. There is no bidding on Etsy, except in Alchemy, which is a site on Etsy where customers can list something they want, a purple tutu, for example, and ask other Etsians to bid on what they would charge to make the purple tutu. Then Sellers are bidding against each other for that particular sale. Etsy is a "buy it now at this price" business. But I still think it's poor ethics not to honor the original price of an item that a potential buyer has just inquired about. Especially one who was asked to wait to review more listings of similar items because she'd shown interest in those other items before making her final purchase. If it had been me, I'd have sold you that map, and all the other newly listed maps that you were waiting for, at the original price. But that's just me. I am not an aggressive saleswoman, just a conscientious one. I like repeat business, and that's no way to encourage repeat business, IMHO.

When I'm being tailed too close I tap my break pedal just enough so the light goes on and they think I'm breaking. After a couple of times, they get the hint, but I love the window washer idea, will try that next time. One thing some drivers do that I just don't get is to ignore merge lanes. We have a lot of turning lanes that start out as two at the turn light, but after the turn, they eventually merge into one. Ideally, cars are supposed to alternate to form a single line, but instead a lot of folks here purposely speed up so the car from the other lane can't get in even though the lane is ending. Seriously? Where are they supposed to go? Over the curb? The same thing happens on the freeway too when there's an accident or road construction. It really irks me to no end.
