Already got a response! The seeds are gone. Jackie

We've become a disposable society, and lawn mowers are one of the best examples of the marketplace responding. I agree with others who've said that just about any mower will last several decades if maintained and stored properly. But most people don't take care of their stuff (I regularly pull and resell vacuum cleaners out of people's trash that were disposed of because they had either a full dirt bag or a broken belt) and the result is that quality and life expectancy have declined. There's nothing wrong with a used mower IF you're the kind of person who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and grab a screwdriver once in a while. There are relatively few mower problems that cannot be fixed with a few parts ordered from the web or bought from the local mower shop. But if you are going to end up sending the mower to the shop for repairs all the time, the cost of getting the machine fixed (labor) will easily approach the cost of a new mower. If you want your mower to start easily every time, start with a new spark plug and air filter, and use only fresh gas at the beginning of every summer. All mower engines are very similar, and all will behave well or not so well depending on how they're maintained.

hey all, I am just glad I am not the guy that drank the guys drink roflmao I don't know why I only ended up with ONE star hibiscus. I planted so many seeds at the winter sowing. So many had shared the seeds with me and I hope I can pass it on to others. Yupp I just got done watering too a few minutes ago. But while I water, I also do a touch, talk and cleaning up of most plants lol. Brenda good thought...not long and it will be Halloween again. I don't know if I got the bloom wet in the morning when I first sprayed the leaves down. But a few pedals were a little deformed. I still loved it because it was my FIRST :-) Lucy

White Dove reads a bit gray in my light. Have you gotten some test pots and checked in your light? I know you're in a hurry, but i'm going to suggest that you slow down and take your time. My kitchen was icky when we bought it. I'm sooooo glad that we waited to do the reno. First, it gave us time to live in the house and see how it flowed and how we use it. I know I'd be unhappy with the kitchen now if we had done the reno when we first bought it. Secondly, there are so many things to learn here if you are a TKO like most of us. Take the time to come up with a good layout. That's the most important thing over all the pretty finishes and cool gadgets. Just my 2 cents!
