Betty Prior, one of ours but so hard to find
Comments (14)yeah, well I know where you are coming from, Mad Gallica, you can't go far wrong with a nice sweetbriar...but honestly, I am struggling with the size thing and after the Pleine de Grace fiasco, I am really leery of another 7 footer....but I am not quite ready to go for neater shrubs (groundcovers are proving a neat compromise for me) just yet since they tend to be as unruly as the larger shrubs I like but not monsters. A classic floribunda but a bit taller sounds just right. Also - and maybe a bit weirdly, I actually don't mind half as much when singles get defoliated from BS - I help them on their way in fact, as I sort of pretend they are like some sort of japanese anemone and they can float airily amongst the flowers (weeds) - mutabilis is always completely bare. Those thick leaves looked like they might hang on though, which is not a nice look, when spotty and yellow, hmmmm. That's the trouble with hard to find roses, it's hard to get a local and honest critique....See MoreCalif Probate - Public Admin & Public Probate Attorney ?
Comments (7)Find yourself an estate attorney ASAP. Do not depend on an overburdened public attorney to be your advocate; with the best willingness in the world, they don't have the time. Fees for an attorney on a probated estate are set by law; you will pay a set percentage based on the worth of the estate. The majority of the fee is paid **by the estate**, not by you, before the estate is released from probate court. You will have to pay a deposit, I believe, but that is a set percentage of the overall fee. Do not get a "friend of a friend". I once went through two estate attorneys on my sister's estate, a very simple one with no RE holdings, until I found a third attorney who wrapped the whole thing up in a month. The previous attorney had been twiddling his thumbs - the first thing you learn about probate law is that NOBODY is in any hurry, in or out of court - but after 16 months we were getting tired of the run-around. Obtain referrals from the CA bar association and check out the referral names' references. Do it now, and don't delay! You don't know what the other half-owner of the triplex is doing or what the legal arrangements were. Who's paying the mortgage currently? And if the finances were set up 50-50% the deceased's portion of the rents should be going into an escrow account as of the day of death, along with the estate paying its proportionate share of the mortgage every month....See MoreUrodynamic testing prior to hysterectomy
Comments (12)Having worked as an assistant to the administrator of a large hospital, I learned very quickly to pick my physicians with extreme care. Having thoroughly read this physicianÂs website, it immediately strikes me that he is narcissistic as he minces no words in telling readers how wonderful he is  a trait that many more male than female physicians seem to have. (Motives can be prurient, ego centered or monetary. I once walked out on a pediatrician who was telling me there was no way my child had a strep throat and who started to berate me for wasting his time. I knew my daughter and knew she had a strep throat. After, that we changed doctors  to a good old GP whose philosophy was that I knew my child better than he could ever hope to.) Further, I would never even think of asking anyone to take time off from work to accompany me to a medical appointment even if any of my friends lived close enough to me to be able to do so. ThatÂs selfish and inconsiderate. I have also learned that there would seem to be an unspoken agreement that GYNÂs in this area will refer their patients to this particular physician prior to surgery. IÂm not certain that is done with the best interest of the patient in mind but rather has more to do with garnering patients for research purposes  and IÂm not a guinea pig. Your argument about physicians and children does not apply, as a parent is always present when a child is being treated. And finally, your post convinced me to not have this testing done as I would never drive 80 miles round trip for any kind of post-op "therapy", therefore making any testing both a waste of time and money  especially the insurance companyÂs money. ItÂs bad enough that I have to make the trip to the hospital twice before surgery let alone do it on a somewhat regular basis for therapy....See MoreWater Pressure Test Prior to Drywall and Tile
Comments (6)How long is the run, how many elbows, how many fixtures, what kind of pipe (pex, copper, CPVC)? Short of doing the math... you may run into an issue if have multiple fixtures (shower, sink, toilet) on a single half inch run. What you will have is the shower changing temp when the toilet flushes, for example. Half inch is usually fine for single fixture in residential applications. As far as a single use- you are most likely to see any problem in the tub - where the flow isn't restricted....See More
