My understanding is that you can bring your receipt back into the store when the sale starts, and claim the promotion-after-the-fact. The family card offers 90 days or price protection. However, a salesperson noted to me to be sure the family card number is added to the sales receipt; it's not enough just to have the family card; that specific sale has to be hooked up with the family card number. I didn't ask about lighting. From what I gathered, you need everything grouped on one receipt, and at least with my local Ikea, the cabinet transaction was processed in the kitchen cabinets area by that dept's sales staff. As long as they can process items are part of the cabinet order transaction, I imagine it's included -- and if they cannot, it is not. Back when I had some in-cabinet lights on my floorplan, I seem to recall the cabinet lighting showing up on the shopping list that the planning software generates. It makes sense to me that at least those lights would be on the cabinet "side" of the operation. A small item to make sure to count, if it's relevant - ikea sells glass drawer sides and in-cabinet dividers (the white partition - things). If you'll be buying any, the codes for those items is clearly posted by the cabinet order computers. So you can definitely include those little items when trying to hit $4000. Everything I just wrote comes from things I was told or observed at my store. To be safe, I'd double check all any of these details if they are consequential.

edlincoln(6A) /beng12(z6 west Md) /wisconsitom / wisconsitom(Zone 4/5) 1.) Austrian Pine - Ok enough of you are saying bad Choice, so its gone. 8.) Black Locust - This is indeed invasive. Its the same as honey locust except no thorns and different color wood and flowers. I wouldve wanted to keep all these honey locust trees, if they didnt have those huge poker. But there are 3 logical reasons why I decided to keep it. A - This tree has great erosion control abilities in wetlands. B - Its wood value (rot resistant/ dense/ nice grain) is excellent along with its growth rate. Need alot of post. It can try to be as invasive as it wants. Also C - Im a pretty heavy Halloween decorator, and these are the creepest looking live trees ive seen. 9.) Atlas Cedar - Just going to plant 3. If they dont make it, no big deal, I will grow something else. Substitutions: Not bad trees, but other trees are better choices 1.) English Oak - I agree with what your saying and will only grow 12 of these and mix them in. If they dont make it then I will put something else in its place. 2.) Red Pine - I dont disagree, but we have these trees on the property upnorth and the kids went through the trouble of getting the seeds out of the cones. Plus the rest of the family members are sentimental over them and if giving them a few trees will allow me to do some of my future products, then I will bite the bullet. 3) Red Maple - I think the difference from what I been reading is one produces soft maple wood and the other produces Hard maple wood. Regardless though, the rest of the family members each picked out their own favorite maple trees and the rest of this answer is the same as the answer for Red Pine. 4.) European Beech Im planting for wood purposes and wildlife, so im planting both. Additions: 1.) Tupelo (Nyssa Sylvatica) - Everything on the list is being planted except for things with a line through it or a X next to it. Obviously this will be planted. 2.) American Holly - I believe this is on the decorative tree list. 3. ) Did you say there was another list of flowering trees? I'd like to see that. - Granted - you have been extremely helpful and would appreciate additional feedback! Will put the other 2 list up in about 10 minutes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /beng12(z6 west Md) - TY very much for posting pictures and giving me confirmation of the loblolly x pitch / Arizona Cypress / Loblolly / and Pondarosa pine. I really appreciate that! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kitasei(6b lower Hudson Valley, NY) - Yeah, I cant disagree with what your saying. But my arrogance is based off of logic/proof/OCD that is coming from lots of people experts in the fields giving me the same information, forcing my stances. So if there is no logic/proof/or a group of people to back a claim, then yes my mind will not change easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- waynedanielson - 1st - I dont do notebooks. They fill up too fast. 2nd - But I do have 56 word documents with around 200 pages for various things to jot/remember. 423 excel documents highly detailed for various list. Just know that I am doing what your saying, except on a pc. I got my hands in lots of cookie jars and I like to keep everything organized for reference purposes.

Rita, it's always fun in my wanderings (online as well as printed books and magazines) when I come across something that relates to a GW discussion. pink, I certainly understand. It definitely helps that the nicer things we have, valuable and not, are just our everyday things, so storage hasn't been a problem; plus I try to stick to the "one in, one out" philosophy. I've had a set of Spode Blue Italian dishes which I bought long before I met my husband, and it's been my/our everyday china for about 30 years now. We still use (and I love) the Laura Ashley floral shower curtain I bought in NYC in 1990; as I've written in other threads, for better or worse my tastes have been very consistent since my late teens lol. When I was clearing out my late parents' home, a friend who was helping was shocked that I didn't want my mother's Royal Doulton Yorktown service, but to borrow from KonMarie, the pattern didn't "spark joy" for me and I already had a Spode Blue Italian set which did. So off they went to the Housing Works thrift store to spark joy for someone else : ) , though I did save one cup and saucer, and they on the window sill with my houseplants. Your comment about moving often reminds me of some of my favorite souvenirs -- several hand-decorated, blown kraslice Easter eggs I bought in Prague while visiting there over the holiday in the mid-eighties. I packed them in a small box in toilet paper, and carried them on trains around Europe and finally back to the US, where they survived a few moves up and down the east coast, and finally made the trip to western Canada. And then survived three curious little kids! Every spring I take them out for Easter and marvel that they're all still in one piece lol.

Ted - You have my taste down 100%. This is gorgeous. It has an Art Deco vibe. It looks like something Hercule Poirot would have in his apartment (do you know the show? You can watch it on Britbox, which is a channel on Amazon Prime. I love the way he dresses, and I love his apartment). Btw, we have a 60” round area rug that we put in the breakfast room, to see how a 60” table would feel. We moved the chairs out to where they would be with the 60” table as well. We are in a quandry - the 60” table would make the room feel much grander, more significant - I was shocked at the difference! It made the room feel much larger, which seemed so counter-intuitive to me. So, yes, would be gorgeous. But this is the quandry - there is just me and hubby and it might feel really strange having 4 empty chairs at every meal. We have a good sized dining room so we don’t need the extra seating. Also, with a 60” table, additional furniture might (not sure) be a tiny bit cramped. However, we don’t need additional furniture - but the option (like the crate and barrel one you just sent) is so nice to have. It’s a hard decision. So, that’s where we are right now... trying to figure out which size table to get. What do you think?
