Sammy, well I ordered this and that and will be absolutely cig free by Jan 1st! That may sound long, but cold turkey SO doesn't work for me... so I am tapering with TOOLS and I WILL DO IT, darnit. 6 mos sounds short when I know it's never again. I've never even set a date before, I'm so darned hooked on nicotine. I tried the patches, etc before but this will be different :) The ovary thing? Yeah, unfortunately modern medicine isn't so great at mimicking a woman's natural hormones for various reasons, and HRT is scary for those worried about hormonal cancers because you have to add 'exogenous hormones.' I don't know if my own ovaries know what they are doing, but I know that adding EH should be done as a last resort. It's a risk-benefit thing, though. Michelle, thank you. I'll keep repeating "I clean my grandma's tracheostomy twice a day, every day" Wow. Lisa, LOL at your story! Ironically, I push for the natural look and think too many women get fake boobs. Well, if mine end up perky I guess that's just a perk ;] This was my first mammogram, too... and the Cancer Center was freaked that I hadn't had one earlier with my history. Insurance still won't pay for it, lol. Good luck [it didn't hurt at all for me] and don't worry. I think it's great that doctors are letting women do this if it seems best. It'd be next winter earliest... just thinking and researching at this point...

Lakeguy, Oh, it's way more than I need, but it seemed rare and interesting, plus it was very close to my Dad's residence so no shipping hassles. I'll probably play with it for a year on my sub-acre, then hand it over to my Dad to use on his 8 acres when I get that urge to clear out the shed (to make room for some more mostly useless green equipment scavenged on eBay). The way I see it I'm 32, in my first home. I won't be here forever. Some day I'll have a larger lawn and more appropriate use for my gas-powered sprayer, 3.5 cu ft spreader, 55cc chainsaw... Still flying the Ospreys; loving every minute. I'll be wrapping up my time as an instructor and heading down the street to a deploying squadron later this year. Three years since I've been to the desert on a horse with no name.

If really concerned about what kind of document is legally binding or otherwise protects your interest you need to ask an attorney for guidance. It seems to me a sensible and attuned tree service operator will be concerned about it being proven that a removal on a neighboring property is legitimate. I'm aware of this because people in my area wanting salt water views pay to have hedges and trees belonging to others cut down without their knowledge or consent. In one such instance that made the news here a local JUDGE paid to have part of an URBAN PUBLIC PARK logged so he could see better. Aerial photos showed his house overlooking a surprisingly large clear cut, as though he lived next to a timber company or National Forest stump ranch.

Do the leaves slide under the main part of the table top? If so it's a 'draw leaf" table. BIG chunky things on the legs are very characteristic of the 1920s and early 1930s ... the "Baronial" fake Jacobean look. Yours seem to have cross-bred with something more modern because the leg lumps aren't carved and melon-shaped , but are blocks and have the sleekly carved grooves more common to 1930s Art Deco inspired pieces. And the slats are modernistic but the carving is traditional. NOTE: It's common for a manufacturer to update a line of furniture by changing details to be "on trend" instead of re-tooling for all new models, so the nice little table and chair set gets updated legs and splats My best guess - 1930s dining set. And it's CUTE!
