Thought I had problems

12 years ago

After reading some of these messages I feel better about my situations.My grown grands treat me like and orphan.I'm glad I'm self supporting and don't need them.I have a dog go to church and trust in God and I try not to think about their actions.I really think they think if they are nice to me they might have to take care of me.But I have worked all my life and no matter what my money still comes in.It's good to live on your own and when that becomes impossible go to a nurseing home and do the best you can.we all have to leave this world sooner or later,

Sorry you feel that way, but sometimes people treat us because they have not been treated very good by others. My grandkids are all good but at times we have had our issues, maybe not directly with them but with their parents or others. We all need someone, especially as we age, as we cannot depend on strangers. Some nursing homes are not the best. Many people get meds they really don't need. I am not saying we need to bribe our relatives,but sometime just a kind attitude helps.
Maybe thur a living will, or other documents, you can show your family that you can take care of yourself, at least financially, because the way the law works, the state makes the kids pay for nursing homes, for elders, even though they cannot afford it themselves. The state does not care who pays, and most states cannot even afford the better homes because of cutbacks.
I do wish you the best and hope you can make peace with your family.

Briggs and Stratton 42A707 surging at idle

So I put the carb back together with the new parts from the rebuild kit and put everything back together on the mower. Started up fine and ran steady at full throttle. Tested low and medium throttle and seemed to run good. So I decided to take 20 mins to mow the front lawn and see how it ran. Everything seemed good while I was mowing, so when I got done I lowered the throttle to about half speed and it started surging again. Brought it in the shed, checked for good spark on both cylinders and ran engine on each cylinder separately. Fired it back up with both cylinders and ran fine at all throttle levels. Mowed the back lawn the next morning and no problems at all. Ran it at low, medium and high after I got done mowing and no surging. I am still a little concerned though because it did surge after the first mowing when i put it back together. Do you think my problem is fixed or is there something else I can check? The funny thing is my friends mower does the same surging when he runs at half throttle, but it runs fine at full throttle. He has a different model, but its a Briggs and has the same basic configuration. Is there a known problem that will cause these engines to surge when not at full throttle?

The leaves look almost like the pictures someone just posted a couple weeks ago....lighter green marbled like.....I have never seen anything like that before. I hope it's something else. Thanks, Ken. I'll keep an eye on them. I have sprayed all my Sedum with Pyola. They were/are severely infected with aphids....another unprecedent event in my yard. :-(

Yes, Dry fungus spores can go airborne and are plenty fine enough to penetrate porus fabric. Moisture normaly keeps them down but later brings them back to life after they've been relocated. Agrevating, isn't it?

"just another reason to grow all my plants from seeds next year" I started out the year with the intent to grow only 2 tomato plants due to possible medical surgery. Surgery wasn't necessary so I purchased a couple plants(Moskvich and Sungold)later for $.50 ea. Sungold appears normal with an abundance of greenies. The alledged Moskvich tomatoes,only 6 each, are huge and in fact are the biggest tomatoes in my garden which includes Rose and Brandywine. Obviously not Moskvich. I'm groing to try growing seedlings again. I've never succeeded at starting from seed.

Yep, I have had people younger than me tell me what to do and there are times I really appreciate it. They, including my relatives, look at things different than me or my hubby and it helps. Sometimes I just remind them that I can make decisions by myself. I am slmost 80, still driving, and managing pretty good. I do computer stuff ok, learning to handle a Kindle, read alot, enjoy the younger generations sometime better than old people, can clear the snow off the steps, son in law has the big snow blower, and if it too icy/cold, not to worry, someone will help me out.
I really enjoy people, but also enjoy being by myself
Have a great day
M.
