I feel so bad for the lady coming all the way down here from Missouri only to get shafted by these people. I only live about 1 mile from them which made it convient for me. I needed some work done on my weedeater and riding tractor mower. Last fall before putting the weedeater away for the year, I took it to the tractor and mower building at GREG'S FARM SERVICES to be weatherized, have all new gas lines replaced and have them order a new bump cap for me. 3 months later I finally got my weedeater back. The man (no names) in the shop TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED AND WORKING GOOD!!!! I paid for their services and left. When the time came to use my weedeater in the first part of spring, I couldn't get it to start to save my life and it was seeping gas down the gas lines. I took it back explaining the problems. The man told me I was trying to start it wrong. I HAVE HAD THIS WEEDEATER FOR 4 YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO START IT!! COME ON!!!! Again left it at the shop and told him I'd be waiting for him to call when it was working properly and not leaking gas down the lines. A week later he calls and says it's ready to go, works great and he used it behind their building. So home it goes again with his instructions on how to start it. I tried it his way. It did start, but it wouldn't stay running. So I take it back again and told this guy it wouldn't stay running and the gas was still leaking down the fuel lines like before. By now I'm really getting ticked off. 3 weeks go by & he didn't call me. I called him. He said he forgot to call. Ok, I'll give his the benefit of doubt. I went down and picked it up for the 5th time I had to take it back again. I used my weedeater for about 15 - 20 feet and the brand new fuel line fell out of the gas tank. I re-attached the fuel line to the tank, started it up again (my way) and the lines pop out again after about the same distance cutting. OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I went down there, found the man I'd been dealing with for several months now and blew my top. He looked at me and asked "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?" He looked down at my legs seeing the grass on me from what little I was able to cut before loosing all of my gas and said, "LOOKS LIKE IT'S WOKING TO ME!" If I told him once, I repeated myself several times, "The line WON'T stay in the tank" He then proceeds to tell me there is supposed to be a washer on the inside of the tank to hold the line and he didn't have one to put in it when I first brought it in. I LOST IT! I BLATENTLY ASKED HIM 'WHY DID YOU SEND IT HOME WITH ME THE FIRST TIME KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IT WASN'T FIXED RIGHT?" He started jumping all over me saying he was sick and tired of people taking things out on him. He then said, Leave it, we'll fix it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. And at this time they have my riding tractor mower. I couldn't help wonder what shape it would be in. All that was supposed to be done to it was change the oil, sharped the 3 blades, put on a brand new gas tank and level the deck. I got it back the same day as my weedeater a week later for the umpteeth time. They did sharpen the blades, put a new gas tank on and change the oil. BUT......My mower is missing the center blade,(out of the 3 blades it had on it when I sent it down there) the deck is all screwed up and the housing cover over the left pully has been BROKEN off instead of unscrewed. I KNOW IT CAN BE UNSCREWED BECAUSE I TOOK IT OFF ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO REPLACE THE MAIN DRIVE BELT MYSELF! Now I have to find someone who knows how to weld it back on. OH....the screws are still on it by the way. I guess it's true that if a woman goes to have something mechanical repaired ALL guys think we're stupid and don't know what we're talking about. If a woman can describe in detail and name the parts by the proper name where is that stupid. THIS IS NO LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP......IT'S TOTAL HATE!!! I had no problems what-so-ever when Whitfield's Farm Supply! I wouldn't even go in there now to buy a dog bone! It would probably be poisoned or something!

You really hit the jackpot! The lamp looks very vintage to me, what a nice find. Of course I'm lusting over the bunny box! (it is similar to a set of 3 I got from Costco MANY years ago!) Great Spring and Easter decor item! And your teapot is lovely. I've fought with myself for a long, long time to NOT collect teapots. But they've always had such appeal to me, and when antiquing I find them so hard to resist. So far I only have a few and that's because they have rabbit motifs so go in my "rabbit collection". LOL. hugs, Karen

@mamapinky0... I hope you know the Mountain Spring scent, changed a little while ago. It's supposed to be a newer, fresher scent to compete with the discontinued Original. Either way.. I love the "Old" Mountain Spring, and the "New" Mountain Spring Scent. :) (It's so sad... there's two different versions of Original and Mountain Spring. They should have been left alone P&G :p )

I am assuming that they are the same and only differ on where they were propagated and grown. I would stick with the Dutch grown one and be safer.
