Until yesterday, I was a virgin … an eBay virgin, that is. Everybody I know bids on eBay regularly, but I’d resisted. But then something caught my eye, something I need right now. Badly. Not jewelry, not furs, not even a vacation.

Yep, that’s right. It’s a chain saw. Our house at the lake is surrounded by trees. I wouldn’t mind, but they’re so close to the house they cover the windows, not to mention the roots are sneaking under the foundation. So, they have to go.

But there is another advantage to owning your own chain saw. Now, people are going to be really careful not to tick me off 🙂
