sometimes the ball bearings in the recoil that engage when you pull the rope will stick if the get dry, or sometimes to greasy, and wont engage. I say pull the engine cover off and inspect the ratchet part on the engine crank end, bet it turns both ways, or is broken.If the rope feels fine, then probably nothing wrong with rope/pulley and cover, unless some way the squarish hole that engages the crank end got rounded out.

Hi folks, Fortunately, I do not have (any longer) alot of the problems mentioned here, but my 6 year old Lab/Chow mix does like to pee on ANYTHING green. While I would like to plant SOMETHING in my new backyard, it really is HIS turf(deservingly so) and I am okay with that, so I do not sweat it too much. I have a very large covered patio that I can place numerous hanging baskets or standing urns,so that is My turf !!! However, if I did decide to plant in the yard (which would be nice)I am not willing to do the electric fence thing(my dog has become an absolute angel, he's my best friend and I couldn't bear the thought of him getting zapped) and I do not want to put up boarder fencing, so I was very fascinated to read about the citrus peels. Hmmmmmm....could it really be ???? I am dying to try !!! Specifically, I want to address "cseim" and find out where she got the info about plant toxicity. Just goes to show how much we can learn from one another. Not that I intended on putting it in the back, but as of today, that was one of the plants I had chosen for the front yard, which my dog does spend a little time. I didn't even consider checking toxicity on outdoor plants !!!! Thanks for the heads up !!! With his backyard "free roaming", any advice on curbing my dog's "watering" of all of my greenery ??? Also, pet friendly chemicals.

Terry - that was great - thanks. It completely did what I wanted to achieve. I can easily see if I've gotten new email on my other account without switching software, etc Now a new problem occurred yesterday - before I made those changes - and I have no idea what I may have done to cause it. probably something I did in experimenting with all these different email issues. I had my firefox set up to send links in emails (from my AOL address). But now I'm trying to send my mother a link (for the emergency microsoft update from 2 days ago) - and when I'm in Firefox (and the computer forum thread is open - or any web page is open) - and I go to File - then click send link - it brings up an email form (with my screen name in AOL as the sender - so that party's working) - but a whole mishigosh of info (the link info, perhaps) appears in the space where I should be entering the email address I'm sending it to. I have no idea why that is happening. If I cut and paste that info into the body of the email - and send it to myself to test it - it doesn't appear to be a link to get me to the webpage I want). Seems to me that the webpage link should be referred to in the subject line - and supplied in the body of the email - not some mess of information occuring in the send to line. I tried going to FF tools - applications- and mail to . I have several options to choose from - use AOL software (this appears twice - once with the AOL triangle with "default" in parentheses and once with what looks like a mail page form), and once it says use AOL mail. I think I've tried all three and it still doesn't work. And before I started trying to change my email settings this week, I think there was only 1 or 2 AOL options for mail application in Firefox. Okay - so now I checked all three. On use AOL mail, it gives me the gibberish (somehow related to the webpage I'm trying to send a link for) in the to: line. If I choose use AOL software (default) - with the mail form logo - it goes to AOL software - sets up the email correctly with the information about the link in the subject line - and the to: field blank for me to fill in the recipient. But it wants me to sign on or the send button is faded and I can't click it. If I choose use AOL software (with the AOL logo - not the email logo), it takes me to the AOL software page and says this file may not be supported by AOL. AOL will try to send it as a text file (and if I choose to try, it will tell me the file is too big). So I do I email somebody links? Thanks. Lynn.

it's my understanding, and correct me if i'm wrong, but i think many/most of the deaths attributed to these things were the result of either obstructions or chemical poisonings due to the preservatives used in ALL treats containing or made from rawhide. rawhide is notorious for being undigestible and ending up as a glob of goo in a dog's digestive tract. googling dreambones, i see the that the packaging is now claiming "rawhide free". i wonder if that has made any impact on the number of deaths. i never gave these to any of my dogs and never will and since all of the controversy, i've often wondered why they haven't been taken off the market completely along with any other treat or chew toy containing rawhide. 🤷🏻‍♀️
