Really enjoyed that!!!! Very nicely done!!! Thanks for taking the time to share

Xmas and Easter were both around waaaaaay before Christianity.

Very mixed mate. I got a wonderful wife and a very sheltered childhood and early adulthood out of it, but I also live with a view that now did not matter, it was all about being a good boy now a doing all sorts of wonderful things in the paradise to come. I know people who I grew up with that have forgone having a family to preach and believe they can have their family in the paradise:thumbdown:breaks my heart when I think of what they have missed. Life is here and now, live it, enjoy it!!!! This ain't no rehearsal or audition for better things to come!!!! IMO.

No problem Its a very emotive subject. I know people for whom faith has been the making of their lives and other who's lives have been destroyed by religion. Differences in beliefs can be hugely distractive.

Tony thats what my post that was quoted refused to. It was said that a praying helps at such times, I was asking about what happens when this don't go well??? Does god not care?? Are you (the prayer) unworthy???
-
For the death of a child??? Thats a pretty heartless comment
-
But what when things don't go well????? What if your prayers are not answered?????

I was a Jehovah's Witness for the first 30 years of my life, but at age 30 and with my first child reaching an age where I was going being indoctrinating him, thought I had better do some serious research, this lead to me,my wife and all her family leaving the JW's. How do any of you Christians get you head around all the horrors we see around us, often involving the weakest, innocent, and most venerable in society

It was only a small job and as the council were already there doing other work, they were bound to be cheaper. Plus I was also grinding out some stumps for him, so although their price was half mine, its not really a true comparison.

Welcome

Well today I have had my first confirmed job lost to the council. I had a job booked in, the council came to fell some street trees next to the customers house and did his job for less than I could.

urgent help with hedges in a conservation area
skyhuck replied to yourm9's topic in Trees and the Law
HOW??????????? They have no power to do this!!! A police officer may hate the colour blue, but he cannot arrest you for wearing blue, as he has no law he can use to enforce his personal preferences. Please tell us what legislation the LA use to prevent the cutting of a hedge or shrub in a CA. -
urgent help with hedges in a conservation area
skyhuck replied to yourm9's topic in Trees and the Law
It is not an application, its a notification, they then have the opportunity to put a TPO on if they feel its warranted, but this can only be done to a tree So I would not make a notification for a hedge or shrub, as they cannot be TPO'd, so there is no point. -

Under what legislation can the LA protect a Laurel hedge?? it cannot be TPO'd. You do not need permission to carry out tree works within a CV, you need to give the council 6 weeks notice. -
Spot on!!!!

One of my LA's tree team has started started doing private work, when I first found out I was very angry. I think its totally wrong and unfair. However, after talking to the guys on the tree team it was a case one of them being made redundant or doing private work to cover his wage. While it really ticks me off, I don't want any one to lose their job, so I hope it works out for them and that it does not have to much of an affect on my business. The same goes for charging for TPO's to come on site before an application, it used to be free, now its £30 (or just apply without a site meeting) but apparently these new charges for these and other planing services are going to save 13 job. Times are tough and I don't want to see anyone losing their jobs.

Not if its a "shrub". -
Why are they heroes??? A hero is some one who risks life and limb for others. While I agree its remarkable and takes a certain kind of courage, its also monumentally selfish.

I punched one very hard with no ill effect I believe in the states they are sometimes called "punch bark"
-
I think your probably right, many thanks.
-
60ft ish.
-
Thats my kitchen mate.
-
This looked to me like a Sequoiadendron (Wellingtonia), from its shape and form. But the bark was very hard, unlike Sequoiadendron which you can punch hard without hurting your hand, also the foliage does not seem right. Can anyone help?? Cheers
-
Sorted!!! Many thanks for the help!!!
-
Can't find "latest"?? Do I have to go into each forum separately???
