I dont have a burros tail but when I re-potted my string of pearls it was 2 feet long at least. I laid the pot down on its side, parting the strands on the bottom so the pot wouldn't squish them and then pulled the pot off. Then I took most of the dirt off the roots with a watering can and filled the new pot 1/2 full and used the bag as a sling to lift the plant and tip it into the new pot so I wouldnt be handling the leaves much. Then just parted the strands gently and filled in the rest of the soil. I only lost a handful of leaves and it didnt effect the appearance at all.

Could it be a golden rain tree? Here is a link that might be useful: rain tree

Is this it? If so-the first one is wheeled nippers, for glass or china to cut small pieces. On a piece of glass, place the wheels in the center of the line you wish to cut and squeeze. The second tool is a tile cutter, it has a small wheel. use the wheel to score a line on a plate,tile or shard, then flip them over and line up the score line in the center and squeeze-poof, broken plate or tile. The third are tile nippers, use them to nibble off pieces of shards, or to cuta shard into smaller pieces. Place the jaws at the EDGE of the shard, about 1/4 inch in and squeeze. This might help you some.... http://www.mosaicmercantile.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/tools_and_accessories.html?E+scstore I hope I guesses right and am not making a big idiot of myself.

I've done all these things and more lately. My husband and I spend time every day looking for something for the other and often it is in plain sight. The weirdest thing is I've been losing the same wad of money over and over. About four or five weeks ago I needed some cash so my husband handed me $100 in twenties. I always put money in my purse completely unfolded but this time for some reason I folded it in fourths. It was about the size of a credit card. The first time I lost it I looked for it for a couple of days before I found it...in my purse. I've lost it three more times and my husband has found it each time...in my purse. I couldn't find it yesterday and I asked him to look for it. I warned him that I had changed purses. He asked where I put the old purse. I told him but thought it was strange that that was where he was starting his search. I had completely emptied that purse before I put it away, of course. But that is where he found it, in the exact same place he found it twice before. I have unfolded the money and I hope that takes care of that situation.
