It's life, Sleuth. You don't hear us whining about needing help finding cars, come dig up bushes, cut down my tree and it's yours, could you bring me this, pick up that...but sorry, I won't be able to help you, etc. It might sound thrifty to you, but it seems like a user to me. Sorry.

I'm well aware of what is "life".

What I'm not aware of is any "whining" going on. I'm just stating facts. And I don't believe in something for nothing. I believe in a "I'll help you out, you help me out, everybody wins" economy.

That's the reason I offered to help huntr out this weekend, doing what I felt that I could handle, just being a gopher, despite my being in massive pain. Because he helped me out once.

Think what you like, but the old adage rings true: There's no such thing as a free lunch.

My last tree cost $450, they tore up my yard, ran over my whiskey barrel planter and dropped huge trunk pieces on my lilac bush. :bawl:

It's worth every penny as long as it doesn't fall on the house. I've had about 6 trees come down since I've lived here, none were under $300. Insurance doesn't cover it.

I have State Farm... Although it isn't explicitly spelled out in the policy, I believe falling trees are covered under the category of "wind damage" or "storm damage". :shrug:

You all have fun bashing old sleuth now. It's almost like a forum pasttime.

I'm going to go eat the lunch that I had to pay for.

You should go into our classifieds (http://classifieds.somd.com) and post an "Items Wanted" ad. It's FREE! Or see if there's anyone on there that has firewood yet. Last year we had a bunch of folks that were getting rid of wood on a "you haul" basis - they took down some trees and just wanted the wood out of there.
