Rough Cost of Tree Removal - Westpark and Spring Green. Company Recs?

We just moved into this 2008 house and there’s an oak tree (18 years old) VERY close to the foundation and the roots are making their way. It’s not massive, about the height of our 2-story house. Trunk is probably a foot-and-a-half-ish in diameter.

Obviously pending HOA approval, has anyone else had a recent tree removal and what did it cost? Any recommendations?

What is a Corporate-Friendly Way to Communicate in an Email “please respond so I know you received this email” without sounding patronizing or condescending?

I (32M) send a lot of emails per day asking for updates from people who have to ask for information from other people. Sometimes it takes days or weeks to get any response and it’s frustrating when I’m following up on a chain of my own emails. I understand I’m not your biggest priority, I just need you to acknowledge that you at least saw my request/question and are working on it.

I need to walk that fine line of being firm with demanding a response without coming off as an asshole. I’ve definitely gotten a slap on the wrist for accidentally going over the line, does anyone have anything that works? I’m representing my boss and not myself so I can’t really piss anyone off. I’m sure y’all know exactly what I’m talking about here.

And no, please don’t count Read Receipts because I’m not going to follow up saying “I know you read my email you bitch.”

Chicken/Pork grease (?) stain in suit jacket

Went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and had my jacket around my chair, but Fogo de Chao was catering. It was a very meaty dinner so my guess is that somehow, whether it was one of the servers with the platter or something, some grease got on the jacket.

Already took it to the dry cleaners and it seemed to fade out a LITTLE bit, but any other tips on this one?
