About 18 years ago there was a lady in the neighborhood who put this lawnmower out by the street. I asked her what was the story on it, she said she just wanted rid of it so I took it and put it in the shed and didn't think twice and actually thought it was a snapper lawnmower. In the process of moving and my other mowers are in Florida now so pulled out this mower and figured I would see if it would start. I went and got a new plug and filter at Walmart and to my surprise it started on the second pull. I took it out for a "test mow" and couldn't believe how easy it was to push. One of the other mowers is a front wheel drive and the cooper is easier than that one. I read the story where the workers unionized and the company shut down. Today we see fast food workers wanting 15 an hour where soldiers and EMT's don't make that. And like the former cooper employees it seems now Wendy's and McDonald's is looking to put in touch screen kiosks so history repeats.

I've thought for a long time that people like me would be excellent as study subjects about weight and people's appetite set points because naturally I simply cannot eat as much food as seems to be normal, never have. Husband is the same; even our kids make fun of us. My daughter says we eat like rabbits and she's probably not that far off. So *for me* one of those tiny hamburgers and a half a bag of small fries from McDonalds is an ample meal. I usually can only handle a few swallows of soda too though I prefer to drink water. I actually strongly dislike even the feel of having a big mouthful of food in my mouth. So weight has never been a problem or even an issue--at 61 YO I currently weigh 3 pounds more than I did when I was 18. I am small boned but at 5'6" and weighing 120 lbs I"m not emaciated or tiny. I just never have had to worry about controlling how much I eat, and have never even been able to pack away a lot of food. Why is that? I don't know, just the way my body functions. I really think if science could figure it out and bottle it a lot of people would have an incredibly easier and healthier life. However, that said I'll ad one very negative consequence has been that I've always had a false sense that there was no need for me to exercise or be active since I was always thin...why bother? WRONG--and recently it's been a battle to start and maintain an exercise and weight training regimen so I don't end up the skinniest old lady on the orthopedic rehab floor!

Hi Bill, Are you asking who made the lamp? Or are you asking what type of style that this lamp would fall under? Best, Tai Truong Elements of Design 3400 Medford Street Los Angeles, CA 90063 tai@lusivedecor.com www.elementsofdesign.com

If you mean COPPER then I would say....it is a classic metal. And will green with age. But without a photo of your home and where you intend to place the planter(s), we can’t give advice. Except...NEVER paint them.
