Rooting for the tree, but not at the risk of the house. Glad you've got some connections to help you figure it all out. Proactive is better than reactive IMO

I had a guy out to look at it today. He said he can cut it below the break and preserve the bottom half. We have hedged the branches which I quite like. If the whole tree has to go, there will be a hole in the hedge. I would be able to see into my neighbor's back yard and vice versa.

The guy today quoted me 3K to take it down.

Our compost heap would be 10 feet high and 75 feet long! As it is, just pushing them back in the woods makes a 250 foot long pile 3 feet high. Be selling compost just to make room for the next falls leaves! Leaf blower is the right tool for the job in some places...

Well, then. When you put it that way... I'll give you dispensation for your leaf blower!

Oh my faint heart

I'm in need of a taste-tester. Where, oh where, could one be found, I wonder???

 

[Lilianna23]

The last 24 hours I went on a binge: bought the dryer, dishwasher and new iPhone 3 Next generation. Thankfully I have stash for such emergencies.

WOW! Christmas came early at your house!

Work is crazy right now. Big project popping next week and I have a planned long weekend away.

Typical work BS.

I’ve been having leg and foot pain the last few mos. My primary thought my varicose veins were acting up again, so went to vascular guy. He is a great doc and did my varicose veins a few years ago.

He doesn’t think this is a vascular issue. But an ultrasound will rule it out. That means maybe I’m just getting old or maybe it’s a muscular/skeletal issue. Possibly a nerve issue.

Back to work. Really busy right now.

I'm sorry, W! Are you stretching? You're always so busy and active, I worry you aren't doing much of a cool down. It can cause pain. Try some gentle stretches during or just after a shower or bath.

In 2025 I want to go to Zion National Park in the fall. However, I need to see what the prostate MRI says. Getting old is a b@##$

Go anyway!

Morning everyone! Heading to Philly this morning. Will catch up later. Hope everyone slept well and keeps warm today.

Good trip? Please tell me you didn't hurt anyone! ️

I worked in the engineering lab of a company that manufactured them. China put us out of buiness but it was great fun working on test panel with them.

Did you like using one?

 

[Lilianna23]

I’ll gladly pay for her jacket!!

(The missus is a bit overwhelmed by how quickly this thread goes!)

That's eleventy billion to her!

And let her know there's no pressure to keep up! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

Im with L2 on this one.

It’s always better to be proactive than have to react to it.

Let us know what the tree surgeon thinks.

Thanks. I agree. I'd much rather take care if it now before it crashes into one of our houses.

I did have a guy here today. I found him through a flyer that was in a weekly mailer. My neighbor's friend can't be here till Saturday. I'll see what he says.

Hey, do you want some fine cedar firewood?

 

[Lilianna23]

I understand. The Korean Samsung is a great phone.

It is. I've had them for years!

 

[Lilianna23]

Someone looking out for you

Truly! I'm very fortunate!

 

[Lilianna23]

Me too

Party in Helltown!

Thanks! I’ll pick it up!

I actually have a fair amount of cedar that I’ve milled into fence posts.

It’s red cedar and not good for firewood. I will use it outside a bit in a bonfire but that’s abt it.

I have an s9+..... I need a new phone but hate all the rigamarole and to spend the money

I understand that! My hubs had an S9+. I cleaned it up, got it a new battery, factory reset it, all to get it ready to trade in. Then I found out the trade-in value Samsung applied would only be $50.

I noped out and gave it to my housekeeper.

Walked the dog we both agreed it was too damn cold. The wind chill is in the teens.

Night hun. Pleasant dreams.

Up at midnight wide awake... ugh

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning everyone. Another night with little sleep. I have a video appointment with an insomnia group through the VA today so we’ll see how that goes. Going to get my first of what will probably be many cups of coffee. I hope everyone is having a great day.

I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time sleeping, BSK! I hope the insomnia group has some suggestions for you to try!

 

[Lilianna23]

She has a major diagnostic test on Monday morning and has to be NPO (no food or water) before the test. Presently she is on pain meds, I just have to wait it out...

I know you'll take good care of her!

 

[Missk_2022]

Stirring’ up the pot!

Never would she ever......
