I just looked it up. Miter saws are lovely, and quite safe; you're right about that. They're also pretty specialized. If I were setting up a proper workshop I'd definitely be looking for one. But it wouldn't work for the branches. I need a hand held saw for that.
The problem with circular saws usually isn't the face. My husband worked in construction supply and I worked in the office of a construction company for a bit. The injuries I saw with circular saws was hand injuries.
Thank you.
This pretty much matches the conclusions I had already reached, except for the hand saw. I've tried using a hand saw, and I can't hold it straight and keep it from binding. With an electric saw, I can. Hence the desire for a big enough jigsaw to handle the branches.
I've had safety glasses (actually more like a pull-down plastic face shield, which works better over my glasses) for decades, and I keep ear plugs in my purse at all times in case I want to go to a movie. The theaters turn the sound way up, and I can't enjoy the movie without ear plugs.
Speaking of movies, I hear there was a bit of a kerfluffle at the Oscars last night. I checked it out on YouTube; looks like everyone handled it with grace.

There was a kerfluffle. I watched it to the bitter end, and frankly, I thought Warren Beatty was getting senile. He looked at the card (which says at the bottom which award it's for), stared a bit, shared it with Faye Dunaway, she made some kind of comment, and then he haltingly read the card. Of course, it was a mix-up because someone gave him the wrong card, but you have to wonder why he didn't realize it was the wrong one and alert the stage manager.
These are the reasons that god did not invent batteries with an infinite charge. "Oh my cell phone battery/land line cordless phone battery died and I didn't realize it. I had no idea that you called yesterday afternoon to see if I could come in during the evening. I'm so sorry that it inconvenienced you. I'll try to check my battery more often."
Sometimes I hate being right. Okay, even though I'm supposed to be off tonight I got a feeling (this morning when I left work) that I was going to get called in. I got called in for tonight. I'm trying to cool down enough to get to sleep now, because even though it was below 40 when I went to bed, it's almost eighty now and, because I was supposed to be off, they turned off the air to save electric.One of my coworkers quit (honestly, it's been coming for a while now, and it's not like a quitting coworker is going to consider what happens to the coworkers when he's scheduled to work, and I understand). I'm just tired. And, hey, if things don't work out and she's not able to schedule someone else this week, I'll be eight hours overtime. (I hate being right!!!!)
I watched it also.. I was very surprised to see "Bonnie and Clyde" there-- what was with that???
((((((hugs))))))) Sometimes, the overtime is not worth the feeling of overwork or exhaustion.....take care of yourself....don't you have a trip upcoming... you need to rest for that....

I thought about that. (And I usually do it when I have the deep feeling that I'm going to get called in, because I feel like I'm working far too much.) But then I thought about that hospital bill and how anxious they are to get it to collections...
I probably wouldn't be this tired (I went to bed early, figuring I was going to get called) if it hadn't been for Asia, AWM's bed, and the air. First, about two hours after I went to bed, Asia woke me, demanding pets. (She's been upset and anxious about SD's presence and absences and I think she needs the reassurance. And this was before the phone call, by the way.) I woke up to do that. Then I got the phone call, and it was too hot to go back to sleep, because to save money we had turned off the heating/cooling unit. (And also to save it--I think it's going out.), So I had to go out and turn that back on, to cool the house. Well, since AWM's room is cooler than mine (they all are--my room has next to nothing in the way of insulation) she offered to let me use her bed to sleep, so I did. I laid down on the bed and within moments I was itching head to toe because, although I'd forgotten this, I'm allergic to her fabric spray. (My skin seems to be allergic to a lot of things.) Still, I managed to get cool enough to sleep, so I went to bed--until RB came home from work and turned off the heating/cooling unit to save electricity making it (because by that point it was over eighty outside) too hot to sleep again!
It's best not to take chances with those, especially if you use your email to for work, paying bills, or any other personalized info.
why do you need to wash a cat unless it got into something that messed up her fur royally? The only cat of mine that gets a bath is my Persian and she has been used to that since she was a baby. Persians start to stink after a while because there is just so much hair that they can't take care of it themselves. Even my Maine Coon does not get a bath although his fur is as long as the Persian's but it does not tangle and he takes care of it wonderfully himself with me brushing him with a wire brush BACKWARDS every two days. I don't understand why you would give a cat a bath unless it stinks or got something all over itself that you can't get off. I suppose a cat who goes to cat shows might need a bath, but otherwise?
I got an email from Google saying they had blocked a log in attempt on an unsecure system and basically chiding me for trying. But I hadn't. I stupidly didn't think anything of it since Google said it was blocked. A couple of weeks later I got the same email. That time I changed my password.
The reason for this thread is a flea infestation and a cat allergic to flea bites. But there are other reasons. My allergies were far better under control when I bathed my cats weekly. I only stopped because one cat started matting badly and I didn't see the sense in washing the rest but not her.
I wonder why that didn't raise any flags at the bank.
At least she has you looking out for you. (Some predators will roll in smelly stuff to mask their scent, it's instinctual. Not that I'm saying you should let him reek, mind you, but just explaining the behavior.)
How much are phone bills? It might be a good idea to go down to something more managable. There are plans that are pay by month for like 25 dollars a month.
