I am in a relationship like that. And color shouldnt be an issue. Although just make sure they are ready to deal with the differences in culture and stuff like that.What advice would you give to someone who is seriously contemplating to be in a mixed race relationship?
It depends on races involved.

What kind of diapers do you use? Any advice on fitting and sizes would be great!?
My 13 mo daughter is in the pampers cruisers right now. They seem to absorb well, and very strechy. My only problem with them is that when I close the tabs they seem to be down too much and leave marks on the top of her thigh. I may need to change to the next size, but she isnt quite into the suggested weight for that size, and they seem to fit everywhere else. She is tall for her age so maybe her torso is to long for that size. Any advice would be great. Thanks a lot.What kind of diapers do you use? Any advice on fitting and sizes would be great!?
i swear by huggies diapers!!! that is the only brand i would use. i always had problems with the pampers. it wouldnt hurt to buy a package of the bigger size. it could be that you are making the sides too tight, but more than likely she is probably ready for the next size up :). my son is also tall for his age, the weight on the packaging isnt always the right size to fit your child.What kind of diapers do you use? Any advice on fitting and sizes would be great!?
Best diapers all-around.Experts conclude that Huggies diapers are tops when it comes to fit, dryness and fastener quality, and they are a bit cheaper than Pampers. Parents also prefer regular Huggies over Huggies Supreme, which have a different type of fastener. As with all disposable diapers, some parents report occasional leaks.
Store-brand.Reviews and parents say it's a good idea to try a cheaper store brand before investing in pricier name-brand diapers -- that's a strategy that can save you $200 a year. With a wide, soft-stretch waist, secure-grip stretch tabs, a cloth-like cover and an ultra-absorbent core, experts say White Cloud diapers resist leaks well.
Newborn diapers.Pampers Swaddlers come in three sizes to fit newborns and babies up 18 pounds. Parents like their Grow-With-Me fit with super stretchy sides and soft overlapping tabs. There is extra padding in the back, since these diapers are meant for inactive babies who spend more time on their backs. There's also a fold-down front section to accommodate a newborn's sensitive navel area.
Older babies.Reviews rank Pampers Custom-Fit Cruisers as number one in leakage prevention, dryness, and fastener quality. These are made for older and more active babies (16 to about 35 pounds). Reviews recommend them for babies who are prone to leaking. Although these diapers do best in tests, other diapers, such as Huggies and White Cloud, do nearly as well for less.
Training pants.Also called pull-ups, this type of diaper helps with toilet training. GoodNites get rave reviews on Epinions from parents They are made of flexible material, are easy to put on and off, and the sides are easy to tear, making them easy to remove without taking the child鈥檚 pants off. Unlike the other pull up brands, GoodNites come in extra large sizes, handy for kids who are having a hard time with potty training.
Eco-friendly diapers.Many parents are fans of these diapers despite their cost. Seventh Generation diapers are chlorine-free (chlorine bleaching, used in most mainstream diapers, produces the pollutant dioxin). Seventh Generation diapers are also fragrance free, latex free and hypoallergenic. Many parent reviewers say these are the best diapers ever, not just in the eco-friendly category. But some also say that these diapers don鈥檛 have enough absorbency in the larger sizes and that the sticky tape is a bit too sticky.
Experts say no diaper can be absolutely leak-proof for every baby. Still, you can hedge your bets by choosing a diaper with the following features:
Newborn diapers should have a notch for the umbilical cord
Elastic leg bands
Elastic waistbands
Absorbent cores
Breathable covers to keep baby dry
Diapers with adjustable tape or Velcro fasteners.
Reviews say that fit is the most important consideration in avoiding leaks and ensuring comfort. Match your baby's weight to the package sizing. Brands can vary with respect to size and weight parameters, so if your baby wears a size two in one brand, he may wear a different size in another brand.
As far as saving money, experts recommend trying a store brand diaper first. If a store brand works well for your child, there is little point in spending the money on more expensive diapers. In addition, buy in bulk. Experts say you'll pay less per diaper if you buy the biggest package available.
I used White Cloud until size 3 after that they started to leak. Huggies became my all time favorite(not the huggies supreme), I tried and used Luzs some and liked those(they have that nice diaper smell from years ago), The diapers I used before potty training were the Parents Choice(Walmart brand). They are less than $6 for the small pack. I really liked the Parents Choice.
I tried Pampers on a few occasions and everytime they leaked, they didn't conform to my childs body and pretty much just sagged but to each his own.
If you like Pampers and they work for you as you said then try 1 size up. They might seem to large at first but she will grow in to them.
My son is the same way long torso, we use Pampers Feel N Learn....Although you can not put them on like a diaper but like underwear....
He hasn't gotten the Feel and learn down but I love them and they don't leave any marks or hang in anyway.
I am using pullups with my 2 yr old right now. They seem to work great. She is also very tall for her age. In the 75th percentile! And I don't have any problem with them not fitting anywhere. Give them a try.
My 4th child is turning 1 in about a week so I Know diapers.LOL. NE way I always go ahead to the next size. I rather thay be a little big and me have to pull the tabs closer together but is better than it leaving marks on their little Jelly Roll legs. And it can rub their legs raw right there also. I also have a 2 yr old and we have always bought just 3s since my youngest was about 6 months old.That way thay both could wear them insted of buying 2 diffrent sizes. A 3 is very versital. but if that is to tight then I would goahead and go to a 4! or what ever size is next. My 2 nd little Boy was in a 4 by the time he was 13month. He was a rolly polly!
I use Luvs. My son is in Sive 5 and they work great. No leaks and they fit him the best. For a pack of 60, I pay just over $12.00.
I have 3 kids and thought Pampers Cruisers were the best I found. Best cheapest diaper is White Cloud. Try the next size up, it sounds like she is too ';long'; for the size she is in now.
for my 12 month little brother my mom buys huggies!
I use Pampers Cruisers as well. My daughter can wear both size 3 and 4 right now, but the 4s seem to come up very high on her front. I've been using the Pampers Easy Ups right now as we're getting closer to potty training. Maybe trying a different brand of diaper in your current size?
Good LucK Mom!

Okay, I have to start with some very tough love, and you're not going to like it. Your relationship will have the best chance of survival if you let go of your romantic illusions.

I found his ex in his drawers! He says my ex had the best of me Coping with Valentine's Day when your relationship is far from rosy The boy's too big Relationships HomeI'm not saying relationships can't be romantic long-term, but, brace yourself, most of the time they're not. What confuses us is that the same partner that excited us in the beginning can now leave us bored stupid! It's this longing for the past that causes problems in the present.
Most relationships start with a heady infusion of intoxicating hormones. You're in a bubble built for two, and there's a feeling of togetherness. Over time, this extreme closeness would be suffocating, but at the start it feels marvelous!
We want that feeling to continue forever, and when it (inevitably) doesn't, we jump to the conclusion that we've picked the wrong person. But that isn't necessarily true. This happens to every relationship eventually.
Real love is about leaving this fantasy behind. It might have felt like you were much more in love at the start than you are three, four or more years on, but it's actually a figment of your imagination.
Real, long-term intimacy happens when the initial flush of hormones subsides. Only then are you able to see each other as you really are, and a deeper, more satisfying, realistic love replaces the romantic one.
Talk about this together, then make a pact to not expect the impossible from each other. Once you agree to be realistic about your expectations of each other, the relief is enormous! You'll feel like a weight has been lifted, I promise.
Find out who you're in love with
Lots of couples talk to each other. Few listen properly and without judgment. This exercise teaches you good principles for both. It's also designed for you to get to know your partner as he is now, as opposed to how he was when you first met. That was probably the last time you allowed each other to talk uninterrupted, without making a comment or silent judgment about what the other was saying!
I've written the instructions of how it works from the perspective of the person doing the listening. And yes, this will have to be you at some point, so grit your teeth and volunteer to go first! Now, I'm going to be Ms. Bossy Boots for this one and insist you follow the rules, or it simply won't work.
You each get a turn to talk to the other for half an hour, no more, no less.
When you're talking, you can only talk about yourself, not about your partner or the relationship. Focus generally on your emotions, your needs, what you've learned from books or films, your friends, your job, what you like about yourself, what you don't, how you're enjoying life and how you're coping with life's struggles.
You're not allowed to interrupt or even comment on what's been said. Your job is simply to listen and try to understand the person talking.
Watch your facial expressions and body language. Nod supportively. Smile encouragingly. Sitting there sulking or with a thunderous expression is going to thwart the whole exercise.
If you really, really must comment on something your partner has said, wait a full 24 hours. Then, if you still can't help yourself, you are allowed ten minutes maximum. The comments can only be positive. If you think there's a problem, outline it quickly, then spend the rest of the time talking about possible solutions.
After doing this exercise, don't be surprised if you both feel a little unnerved. You've probably just discovered things about your partner you didn't know, and that's why you feel slightly nervous. Who is this person? You thought you knew him inside out! What a shock, eh? But you don't own each other and can't control how you both feel. Relax and go with the uncertainty. Taking your partner completely for granted is what kills most relationships. It does both of you good to not feel 100 per cent sure of each other.
Repeat this session once a week for a month, and you'll find you start to listen properly without it having to be a structured exercise.
Get exactly what you want
Another classic relationship mistake is assuming that because your partner loves you, he knows what you need to be happy. Sadly, love doesn't magically transform us into mind readers, so we rely on the next best thing. We assume that what makes us happy will make our partner happy.
That, as you might imagine, leads to unmitigated disasters. He gives you tickets to the football for your birthday along with the latest Nintendo game. You give him an inspirational self-help book and dinner in a romantic restaurant. To completely guarantee a life of misery, we take this warped thinking even further. We assume that if our partner doesn't behave the way we would in a particular situation, he doesn't care about us.
Cue typical arguments about things like anniversaries (some people place importance on them, others don't) and chatting up your best friend (seen as charming her by one, flirting by another). But happily, there is a way to fix this sorry situation. It's called being clear about what you both want. Sounds easy enough, right? Here's how it works:
For the next month, you take turns having 'me' days until the month is up.
On each of your 'me' days, you get to ask for something you'd like from your partner that makes you happy. It might be something as simple as asking him to pick you up on time, massage your shoulders while you're watching TV or hold your hand while taking a walk.
Clearly state what you'd like your partner to do, giving as much detail as possible. The idea is to get into the habit of asking for what you need and want in order to be happy, instead of expecting your partner to second-guess.
Pay attention to what your partner asks for. Write down what he's requested, and you'll have a list of his real needs and wants, rather than what you think he wants or doesn't want.
Sunday: Your sex life
Don't just maintain, nurture
When you start a new relationship, your focus is on nurturing your sex life. You're learning about your partner's body, what he likes and doesn't like, with beginner's lust fueling your curiosity. If you're like most couples, once you think you've got each other figured out, you move from nurturing your sex life into maintaining it. Six weeks into your relationship, the proportion is around 80 per cent nurturing to 20 per cent maintenance.
Six years on, it's more like 0 percent nurturing to 100 percent maintenance. To keep sex good long-term, you have to continue to nurture. This means putting thought and energy into sex, like you did in the beginning!
Take turns with 'sex spoil sessions'. Every fifth time you have sex, one of you spoils the other with things you know your partner will enjoy. Note the emphasis on what your partner enjoys, not what you enjoy. This might be as simple as giving him a gloriously thorough working over with your tongue, or involve you packing a picnic to head off for alfresco sex.
Take a sexual inventory. Write suggested sexual activities on two sheets of paper, then each of you rates them from hot (would love to try) to warm, lukewarm and cold. Add your own, but choose from things like spanking, role-playing, semi-public sex, tie-up games, blindfolding, talking dirty, anal sex and watching or making erotic films. When you're done, make note of the activities that scored high for both of you. Try one every two weeks or once a month.
Turn your bedroom into a sex den
Sex in your average bedroom is a yawn. Sex in an erotic, exotic playroom is sexier than that recurring fantasy of your favourite celebrity walking into your bedroom just as you're reaching in that bedside drawer, you get the picture. Some essentials:
Soundproof it for kids/flat mates/your mother when she comes to stay. Heavy curtains and carpets soak up sound. If you're deadly serious, install sound-insulating board on any adjoining walls. A lazy but still effective option is to put in a sound system or radio. Music masks all sorts of happy noises.
For the most flattering lighting, light from below or at eye level. Dimmers are the next best thing and can match whatever mood you're in. A simple, quick fix in the meantime: Put tea lights on saucers on the floor (keep them a safe distance from bedcovers or enthusiastically thrown bras, knickers or boxers).
The simplest thing is to add mirrors to wardrobe doors so they can be angled to provide good views of the bed. Even sneakier is a full-length portable mirror, which you can move into whatever position grabs your fancy at the time.
Everyone needs a special drawer within reaching distance from the bed. Fill it with massage oil, stockings and scarves for tying-up, sleep masks from your last plane flight to act as a blindfold, lubricant, condoms, erotic books or films, sexy clothes, vibrators and other sex toys.
A firm mattress makes for better sex. Clean, fresh, good-quality sheets lure you to lie naked on them. Cushions are a must for putting under hips, supporting limbs or making other places around the house sex-friendly.How do you know if you have low/ high sex drive? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Normally there is nothing like low sex drive or high sex drive; The only thing is whether the sex drive is satisfactory on either side simultaneously or not!
I know my wife has a very low sex drive. She says that she just doesn't ever think about sex and has no urge to do it. She has even said that she could do without it for the rest of her life.
Well, depends on how often you think about sex, how often you are aroused, and how often you want to have sex. My wife and I have very high sex drives. If we had enough time in the day, and didn't have to work, we would have sex all day long, everyday. Just gotta ask yourself how often you want to have sex. If your answer is ';A lot'; then you have a high sex drive. If your answer is ';I can go without it for awhile'; or ';It's ok, I like it'; then you probably have a moderate to low sex drive.
Until I had my hysterectomy, I had a very high sex drive. I was ready all the time. Much to my husband's chagrin, after the surgery I could take it or leave it. Plus I had other physical things going on like lack of lubrication...etc. I talked to my MD about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and things are almost back to normal. I know my husband is VERY HAPPY.
Make an appointment with your MD if you feel your sex driver is low. You may have a hormonal imbalance.eyeshadow color

If we had enough time in the day, and didn't have to work, we would have sex all day long, everyday. Just gotta ask yourself how often you want to have sex. If your answer is ';A lot'; then you have a high sex drive. If your answer is ';I can go without it for awhile'; or ';It's ok, I like it'; then you probably have a moderate to low sex drive.
Until I had my hysterectomy, I had a very high sex drive. I was ready all the time. Much to my husband's chagrin, after the surgery I could take it or leave it. Plus I had other physical things going on like lack of lubrication...etc. I talked to my MD about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and things are almost back to normal. I know my husband is VERY HAPPY.
Make an appointment with your MD if you feel your sex driver is low. You may have a hormonal imbalance.
Attention OFW, Seamen and Everyone who has experience in Philippine Airports, can you give me an advice?
I bought a 32'; flat screen TV abroad, and plan to carry the box to the airport like a regular luggage..
I understand I have to pay the airline because it's oversize, I also carry a luggage but both of them are within the allowed weight. Will I have problem at the airport in the Philippines, if I have paid the penalty and get cleared from my country of origin.Attention OFW, Seamen and Everyone who has experience in Philippine Airports, can you give me an advice?
Do you mean, you carry the box with the TV inside? If this is what you mean, I dont think the airline would allow you.
My personal experience with PAL, Cathay Pacific and China Airlines were the following.
1. Some airlines are too strict, while other are lenient
2. SOP%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;Hand carry luggage are subject to its weight, height limit.
Therefore, if you said its over sized, its not going to be allowed in the
cabin. Same as baby buggy (stroller,pram) airline staff collect it upon boarding time.
3. Hand luggage should fit the compartment overhead
and/or under the seat
4. Electrical appliances are labeled as ';FRAGILE'; and if you check
it in, you will be requested to pay the tax. Declare it as a used item instead, remove all indications that its newly bought.
5. ';fragile'; items are accepted but if as a checked in luggage, you are required to sign a ';waiver';.
6. Check or inquire with the airline weeks before your actual departure
date.
Some airports have different rules. These are lame examples :(
I flew to Taipei and they always get my bottled water, whether you tell them its for the baby, whereas in Japan they allow the water as long as its for the toddlers consumption.
In the Philippines, they confiscate the Cosmetics while in Japan and Taipei those items are ignored.Attention OFW, Seamen and Everyone who has experience in Philippine Airports, can you give me an advice?
There is a weight charge on your hand carry and your luggage and. A TV is too fragile to carry around even on regular luggage. Chances are, it will get damage via transport.
Invest in just buying a TV in the Philippines instead
Not to mention the power volatge of the Philippines is 220V wich is different from appliances you buy abroad ( 110V)
then your problem is with the Customs. they will ask for the receipt of your purchase and determine if you will be taxed. but the rule is, any personal effects or items of purely personal use should not be taxed unless, you are carrying 3 lcd's. if you are willing to risk the handling and transport of this airline and our airport, then go ahead.
fyi, a 32'; panasonic lcd (HD ready/compliant) at abenson's cost only about Php26K, on sale this week.
First check with the airline they may not allow “odd” sized or over sized baggage. I wouldn’t take a wide screen on an airplane myself the way they handle baggage it will be damaged unless you packaged it very carefully. I fly often and watch those guys throw baggage around like sacks of trash.
As you know Philippine Customs may charge duty.
I suggest you ship it via balikbayan box. No duty and the cost would be under $100.00.
There is an old saying of the airlines ';don't put anything in the check in that you do not want to lose';.
Here in the Philippines always be prepared to pay extra simply because you are a foreigner %26amp; have a lot of money. LOL
plus paying the duty will beat u up also pare, duty one foreign electronic is 100% i think, so be prepared to pay equal tax to the original price, just buy a tv locally, it will be just as good, and u don't have to have a converter.
Last December 2006 I saw plenty of Filipinos bringing there appliances back to PH, i guess that would be OK.

What advice would you give my friend?
Basic details of my friend:
--Been married for 4 months to a man from England who is now taking a 6 month job on a cruise ship.
--She has yet to hold down a job for more than a year.
-- They have $10K in savings and investments.
-- This land is in Mass.
There is a land sale in her area with land appraised at $41K, but she has the idea that she can get it for $10K. They couldn't build for at least 6 years. Getting a loan would be tough as her credit rating is shot and he doesn't have one.
What would you tell her? To snap out of it or go for it?
I'm trying to be a good friend, but it's hard to be a good friend when I see so much problem! I know that taxes alone on land is insane, but that may just be farmland (we own over 2000 acres).What advice would you give my friend?
What a good friend you are.
I'm not familiar with your market, but getting land at less 25% of the appraised price seems unlikely. What is she buying the land for, an investment? Possible home site down the road? Land typically takes alot more down payment, if she can even receive financing.
Taxes on bare land can be very affordable, but she can check that before she commits.
Ask her to go get pre-qualified for a loan before she gets too excited about this idea. That may snap her back into reality.
Good luck to you.What advice would you give my friend?
Save money and WORK ON THE CREDIT!! There is no way they will give them the land that cheap anyway, it makes no sense. Lending is tougher to aquire now, with th efall of the sub-prime market, and chances are they won't even get an approval. Good Luck!!
They should be using any cash to improve their credit. Like getting some secured cards for the new husband, so he can begin establishing his own credit history. Same could work for her too.

Need Advice From A Lawyer: What to do if your spouse [partner] prevents you from getting a job?
Ok, first we are not married, and we live in an apartment. With his job alone we can't [not even] barely make it, so he thinks a second job and going to college will improve things for us. I think 2 jobs and college is unrealistic and he will get very much stressed and take it on me (yes, we have a terrible argumentative life as it is). He is dealing with much stress. Meanwhile I can't mention I want to get a job because he is against it and says that I will be unfaithful to him at work.
Meanwhile all I want is to be able to afford to buy myself the things I want, and to fend for myself. I don't want to break up (just in case you're thinking I should leave). Is there any law that will protect me to avoid him using that as an excuse to break up with me?
I don't want to leave him because we have a baby together. ThanksNeed Advice From A Lawyer: What to do if your spouse [partner] prevents you from getting a job?
Are you from this planet??? You are talking about a man who obviously has the predisposition of being physically abusive if he hasn't been already. Who cares if you have a baby. When I had just entered my 3rd month of pregnancy my son's father raised his hand to me in a drunken stupor. He never had the opportunity to strike me because I lunged at him ready to kill him! Waking me up to tell me how he is the man of the house, blah blah blah. WHATEVER. Last I heard is he had a heart attack and the worms were feasting on him. GOOD. Is it true? Who knows. Do I care? NO. He too controlled me. I lost touch with my family and some how or another I lost touch with my friends. He made sure to keep me away from everyone with excuses. Last straw was he raised his hand to me. My son is four years old now and I haven't seen that SOB since the day after that incident (New Years Day 2003.) Get the heck away from that man for the sake of the baby. Gosh women like you need serious pyschological help and if that doesn't work a total lobotomy. I had my son by myself and a man like that he doesn't need in his life. By the sound of it you are setting yourself up for some serious beat downs if you haven't received them already and a horrible life for your child. Oh for the record. Those types of men have been known to kill the woman and child(ren.) Wake up!Need Advice From A Lawyer: What to do if your spouse [partner] prevents you from getting a job?
I sincerely with all my heart wish you the best. But please if he continues with that controlling attitude you really need to re-evaluate your relationship and consider moving on.
Not sure where you are...
but, understnd you do NOT need a lawyer, since your partner is not preventing you from getting a job.
You are making your own choice to live there, and you are making your choice to go along with what he is telling you. There is no law to keep him from breaking up with you, for that or any other reason.
There is NO law in this country (US) that is relevant to what you are saying.
You are making all your own choices. Lawyers are for legal matters... not two persons who cannot come to an agreement.
ummmmmmm............
this is really confusing. the only person who can stop you from getting a job is yourself. why would you want a law to keep him from breaking up with you??? thats just odd in my opinion. if you want a job go get one if he breaks up with you because of it than kiss the ground you walk on and thank God that you aren't married with 5 kids. why aren't you married anyhow with a child. the military will put you in houseing and give you more money. anyway this is just an odd question.
He is controlling and it is time for you to go before it gets worse. He won't let you work. Next he will tell you that you can't see your friends or family.
Time to run Sweetie.....................
You don't want to hear this, but remember that you did hear it here:
This is the classic control situation that leads to physical abuse and worse.
What a piece of work!
My suggestin to you is to at least call the local womens shelter, read them your message, and mine and see what advice they have.
As for a lawyer, forget it, the only thing that is keeping you from getting a job is you. You stay willingly and submit to it, but nothing is making you do it. there is help available, but a lawyer is not what you need until he starts beating the crap out of you.
Good luck!
A law that will protect you from him avoiding him using you as an excuse to break up? Is that your question. Short answer, there is no such law.
You are not legally obligated to him in any manner shape or form at the current moment. You may at some point be legally tied to him and to you through your child in common but that would be about it...unless you marry him....and I would strongly advise against that.
The other advise that you have received so far is advise that you should really follow.
Good luck to you.

Can I get some tips and advice on taking a long road trip - anything you can tell me that may be helpful.?
I'm moving from Louisiana to Montana on December 26. I'll be in a 2006 Saturn Vue pulling a Uhaul trailer. I'll be with my small dog, a Dachshund, and my boyfriend.Can I get some tips and advice on taking a long road trip - anything you can tell me that may be helpful.?
Bring a cooler if you have room. Munchies can be expensive at stops.
stop about every 2-3 hours for a break to run your dog and boyfriend to get away from each other if only for 15 minutes. Take a headset along for music because you may want to listen to music while you drive and he reads or vice versa. Drive no more than 500 miles in 1 day or you'll get fatigued easily by the 3rd day. I've done this sort of trip about 10-15 times due to military orders. Check with AAA as you may need snow tires on certain roads during that time of year.Can I get some tips and advice on taking a long road trip - anything you can tell me that may be helpful.?

If you have moved to Anchorage, Ak and could give me advice about moving there, what would be the best advice?
Please don't just say great place or don't. Tell me why. I will appreciate any answers and make sure to label a best answer.
Thanks alot...If you have moved to Anchorage, Ak and could give me advice about moving there, what would be the best advice?
You will want a four wheel drive vehicle. Preferablly a diesel pick-up, then you can make a few extra bucks plowing snow. I would live in the Eagle River, Palmer or Wasilla area. Property prices will be lower as will taxes.
Be prepared with a block and battery heater for all your vehicles. A remote start is nice so you can warm your vehicles up prior to driving it.
If you fish, you can cut you costs by doing a little of that. Hunting, great, can you imagine feasting on a 2,000 pound moose?
Stay away from Mountain View and Muldoon Road. At least that's what I was told last year while I was in Anchorage for 2 months. It seems that is where the gang activity is centered. With police work, that will change, they were looking at it when we left in September.
I almost forgot, since you will be new to Alaska you will need to pick-up a copy of the Milepost. This is a book detailing the drive from the US to Alaska along with everything that is going on at every milemarker on every major road to Dawson Creek, BC. Then every side road along the Alaskan Highway to Alaska. After that, most every thing you will want to see or do while in Alaska, by road and the mile marker on that road. Pick-up your copy at www.milepost.com or like we did at amazon.com for half price.
Have fun, I wish I was going with you.

What Do You have any good advice? Am i prego or not?
I just took a home pregnancy test, and it came back positive, well kinda, there were two pink lines; one faint one dark; it was a first responce...i was woundering if anyone knew if something you eat or drink could make a pregnancy test come out positive? Or if you had sex like a week or two ago! My hunny was saying that he thought that he thought that it could be just the egg dropped but the sperm and egg met too late, and that is y it came back positive!?!? What do you think? please help?!?!What Do You have any good advice? Am i prego or not?
Pregnancy tests are 99% accurate. They messure the amount of hormones you give off. Even if the line is faint that still means a positive. But I suggest taking another test in a few days first thing in the morning. That is when the hormones will build up and you can get a darker line. If it comes up again you are pregnant. After that go see your doctor. Get all your blood work done. You have to do that when you are pregnant. They will also check to make sure. But the home tests are very accurate.eyeshadow color

What's the best Personal Financial advice you've ever heard?
What are some of the most important things you've learned in life about money that you can share?What's the best Personal Financial advice you've ever heard?
Best financial advice: don't take financial advice from strangers.What's the best Personal Financial advice you've ever heard?
The 60 percent rule. I read it on the msn.com Money section, and it is to make a goal for 60 percent of your money to go toyour committed expenses each month, being food, utilities, rent/mortgage, insurance, household expenses of all sorts, and all of your bills, even non essentials like cable. The remaining is split as so: 10 percent to retirement savings, 10 percent to long term savings for things like a house, a car, or something big like that, 10 is just for fun stuff, 5 percent to a short term savings for your emergency fund and 5 percent for an irregular expense fund for things like gifts, car repairs and random medical issues.
I'm not all the way there yet but it is a good goal and I am working towards it.
Neither a lender nor a borrower be.

Prince Charming isn't coming, ladies! Don't wait for a man (father, husband, or boyfriend) to sweep you off your feet and take care of you financially. Get yourselves a good education and job, buy yourself a car and home, and go about creating your own life.
You'll have much more to offer your prince when you meet him, and he won't have the pressure of wondering if he can afford you.
Unless you are absolutely confident in what you are doing, see a financial advisor. If you are confident, see one anyway.
In all seriousness, start early! Wish I'd have listened to this one.
To set money aside, either by having it taken directly out of your pay,or being disciplined enough to ';pay yourself'; every payday, because it's human nature to pay the bills and then spend the rest. But you really don't notice a small percentage being taken out, and it can grow into a substantial amount.
The best advice: buy low and sell high. It's easier said than done.
1. Start saving early
2. Diversify your investments
3. Don't follow the crowd
4. If it is too good to be true it probably is
5. Your broker is usually more broke than you
6. Do your homework
7. Invest in low-cost index funds (www.vanguard.com)
8. Keep an emergency fund that covers 3-6 months of expenses
9. If needed, buy term insurance and invest the difference
10. Live within your means
One more thing: Enjoy Life! Live each day to the fullest.

What should I say? What flirting advice can you give me?
Mostly we talk over IM or email bc he doesnt have a cell phone so ya...how do you flirt online or over email?What should I say? What flirting advice can you give me?
Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.
Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you've marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?
Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.
Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren't that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.
If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.
Consider how much you try to be near them. If you've planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.
Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you're still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.
If you feel you're ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you're unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.

Planning on moving. do you have advice on how to fix your house?
i would like to know what you did to get ready fo r when you were going to sell your house and if you never sold your house before what advice do you have
and how to sell your house at the top price
how to get the price you want
thanksPlanning on moving. do you have advice on how to fix your house?
I don't have much advice about fixing up, but I do recommend using the company Buy Owner instead of a real estate agent. it will cost you 1/4 of what a realtor charges, and your house is advertised in a catalog and online until it sells. They come out and take professional photos, and handle all the paperwork for you. You have to set up appointments and show the house to the prospective buyer, but it's worth it to save some $. My hubby and I were moving out of state so we hired a friend to show our house for us. The whole process was very smooth, and they were easy to work with and very informed.
Good Luck!Planning on moving. do you have advice on how to fix your house?
Go neutral!
That is the single best piece of advise anyone can give.
You need to appeal to a large group of prospective buyers.
Paint over loud, bright, or dated colors with off white paint.
Make buyers feel they could move right in.
Box up clutter.
Leave open spaces on shelves and surfaces.
Febreeze the carpets, couches, and drapes.
If you are spending any amount money. The best things to update are the fixtures in the kitchen and bath.
Start at the curb, take a picture of the house's exterior. Then study it carefully. Back when we took slides I'd suggest turning the slide backwards so it seemed like a different home. Study it for first impression. People won't even leave the car if there are problems outside, broken gutters, bad concrete, needs paint (you can sneak by and just paint the front), etc.
You might consider taking pictures of the interior rooms and look at them carefully. Ask friends to comment on what they see. Don't be offended if they suggest changes. Listen, they may help you sell that house which is the goal. Your feelings have to be put aside.
Front door is first impression. Clean, neat, no dog scratches on the door.
From then on clean, uncluttered so the house appears larger. Move out extra furniture, books, misc items. If you want to keep and move this stuff, rent a storage locker. Go sleek but not stark. They are there to see the room size, not your collections of ancient tribal African masks. If the bedroom furniture barely fits, for the sake of selling the house, get rid of some items. You want the furniture in your house to fit. Clutter doesn't sell.
As mentioned above, no stains on the carpets.......I'd be in trouble there. If wood floors, get them shined up. No cracked floor or wall tiles. No pet smells. Either wash the walls or repaint them in neutral tones. People may not like that purple wall you just love. They can paint it their favorite color later.
Kitchens and bathrooms sell a home. How do your's stack up? Check for leaks and repair. Declutter. Fix anything broken, loose or looks bad. Kitchen re-do are very expensive, do what you can to make yours look it's best without breaking the bank. Declutter, paint, new hardware on the cabinets, a nice tablecloth on the table are all ideas.
Bathrooms of course can't have mold....icky. Keep the decor simple, remove magazine racks, etc. Shine up everything.
Clean all light fixtures, lamps and windows. Because when the house is being sold, you want to turn on the lights, even if it is day time. Open the drapes or blinds wider than you would normally. Well lighted homes sell better than dark gloomy homes.
Before the people arrive, turn on the hotwater faucets so the hotwater is available quickly.
In a conspicuous spot have a one page synopsis of the house and picture. Also include a map showing location of shopping, schools, parks or other important locations that may help with the sale. Have plenty of copies for them to take.
Don't be there when the house is sold. If the people have questions, it needs to go thru the realtor. People tend to sabatoge their own home sale.
clean, clean, clean,
OUTSIDE -- pressure wash anything you can, repaint if at all questionable -- then dress up the landscaping -- weed and feed lawn -- plant flowers -- keep it well groomed.
INSIDE -- repaint , shampoo or replace carpets, remove ALL clutter, leave a minimal amount of decorations -- or better yet -- clear out entire rooms to storage -- you're going to have to pack when it sells anyway.
Getting top dollar means getting a top Realtor -- interview, get CURRENT references and his/her track record for your neighborhood and price range. Negotiate the shortest listing possible -- never more than six months -- in case you pick a loser. Be a polite squeaky wheel and make sure they advertise !!
get stains out of carpet, repaint walls if they need it, thinks like that, if there is anything broken in the house u should fix it. things like that would b good to do. i hope this helps! =)
Paint in neutral tones - not too dark and not too light. Remember that you want to appeal to the masses, but just one person's taste. Pay particular attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. They can make or break a sale.
just clean it. the buyer has their own ideas, but sell as fast as you can because house prices are about to drop dramaticly.

I want to live a long happy life. What advice would you give me?
What advice would you give me, to help me reach my long term goal of living a long happy life?
Answers are especially appreciated by people who believe they have achieved at least some of this goal (i.e. people with some life experience behind you).I want to live a long happy life. What advice would you give me?
above all else, just remember it is YOUR life and no one elses. you are the only person guaranteed to be with you from the moment youre born until you die. so YOU should always like the reflection of your self.
be compassionate, understanding, and forgiving. dont hold grudges. dont cheat people.
also make sure youre always being genuine. truth trumps everything.
eat a healthy well-balanced diet, exercise--its good for you and helps alleviate stress. dont sweat the small stuff. do activities you enjoy to relieve stress, like gardening, yoga, or painting, etc..
make choices which are in line with your goals.
enjoy the little pleasures, and be grateful for each day youre given. dont ever forget to smile. if you truly love and appreciate all of life, you will radiate each day with an unshakeable optimism that will endure through the good and bad times, it also can help others to find contentment themselves. good luck!
I want to live a long happy life. What advice would you give me?
About a few years ago for about 6-7 years I was completely happyy and the main reason was I looked deep inside of myself, realized who I am%26gt; I was so joyful everyday be even by something less significant, such as the morning dew on plants, flowers, etc. I have always treated others the way I like to be treated, with kindness, respect, friendship, etc. So my happiness came from knowin myself from deep inside, Being true to self, I was always myself; not one to put on different masks. I volunteered for the less fortunate and got immense gratification and happiness from helping others. I think human beings should all help each other; there's euporia in doing so.
Unfortunately two years ago quite a few unhappy, sad, and devestating things happened in my life. I tried to do my best dealing with issues but there were tremendous number of them. I developed severe depression, anxiety attacks, lost sense of my self. I was NOT happy. Through therapy and medication little by little I regain a bit of how I used to be when I was happy. It will take time, and I will get back to the state of healthy sense of self and happiness.
My Advice::
- go deep inside of yourself and find the real you
- have a healthy sense of self and confident and self-awareness
- Help others in any way you can - This for me was the most gratifying thing to do, and made me so happy.
- surround yourself with people who will mutually love you back and you trust.
- if you have the means, learn about other cultures and travel to those places
-pick one favorite exercise, and do it every day. Pick one that really gives you pleasure. I love swimming because it's a very calming experience for me. When I swim, I am happy. I am starting to ge back into it.
I wish you will find what you seek.
A happy, peaceful, contented, and prosperous life is what I wish you.
I know I have achieved happiness, as for a long life... I am only 25 and I could die today or tomorrow or in 60 years, so I don't know.
As for the happiness part, this is what I surmise.
I use to drink and party to be happy. I would try to make the most money I could and spend it on what I wanted. I would be happy for a little while, then I would be depressed and alone. I sought religions and beliefs, such as Wicca, Mormonism, Voo Doo, etc... These would also make me happy for a season but ultimately leave me feeling depressed and sometimes insane. I felt as though I did not belong to anything, anyone, and I had no purpose, the whole ';screw the world'; attitude.
Then I read the Holy Bible, mainly the New Testament and researched its accuracy and message. This book made more sense of life than anything else. I became saved, I felt loved and very happy. I realize now that I am a part of all God's creations, I am never alone, and I have a purpose very day that I wake up. I never have to feel sorry or feel that I must condemn myself for my past or future, it is all in God's hands.
As for longevity, well I am not staying away from things that would harm my health because of my belief, so there ya go.
Love, accept, don't judge, and have compassion. These are just a few things that help to bring true happiness to oneself. It has taken the Dalai Lama a lifetime to pass along his teachings to the world, and a lifetime for each of us to fully understand them and live them. I believe he is one of the few that truly experience the greatest happiness.
For me personally, I focus on why I believe I am here. I feel like I have a purpose to help others. I have been given many gifts, and have learned some along the way.
In short, experience, an open heart, and an open mind are the ways to get there. (IMHO) Much hard work and perseverance also!
Go to God and live the way He wants you to and stop eating processed foods from the supermarket.
Eat as much foodstuff that you can grow, get out of the city, exorcise both body and brain daily. Never retire. Be sure to keep the Sabbath because both body and brain do need a rest whether you feel like it or not. Rest on the seventh day it will rejuvenate you and in order to live the body needs to be rejuvenated on a regular basis. We weren't made for the Sabbath darlin but the Sabbath was made for us.
Unlearn what knowledge you have for your diet and get into a structured and serious study of diet.
Laugh.
Find laughter where ever you can. Love; give it as much as you can to everyone you meet. Even the people you don't like.
That's it in a nutshell darlin I hope this helps you.
I have plenty of life experience. Been through hell and still survived.
The key to a successful life is how big you can dream, how well you can follow direction, and how eager you are to stay with your goal, whatever the goal is. That's it. Simple. (It's different for everybody).
Live fully in each and every moment. Don't wait to find happiness, or love, or peace or joy. The only way to ';find'; those things is to BE them first. Each moment...each breath that you draw, is filled with happiness and peace, and joy, and love, if you just look.
Learn to take things as they come, never worry about tomorrow, and esp learn how to always find something to be thankful for. One more thing to keep in mind: life is what's happening while you're making plans :)
best luck
Always remember where you came from, and try not to ';F'; over the little guys too hard. It's impossible to be happy all the time. You should begin to notice this factoid in your twenties.
dont get married. stay single. no kids. right there if you do them three things. you should have 300,000 in the bank. and with money you wont have stress. stress is a deal breaker.
The only way is to explore self...
Only an thorough understanding of ';yourself'; will help you lead a lengthy and happy life
Stay healthy- both mentally and physically. Eat healthy food. Exercise. Don't be stressed.
Eat healthy, excise, express your feeling and don't stress might cause tension in your body.
do not put poisons in your body, such as alcohol, nicotine and illicit drugs.

above all else, just remember it is YOUR life and no one elses. you are the only person guaranteed to be with you from the moment youre born until you die. so YOU should always like the reflection of your self.
be compassionate, understanding, and forgiving. dont hold grudges. dont cheat people.
also make sure youre always being genuine. truth trumps everything.
eat a healthy well-balanced diet, exercise--its good for you and helps alleviate stress. dont sweat the small stuff. do activities you enjoy to relieve stress, like gardening, yoga, or painting, etc..
make choices which are in line with your goals.
enjoy the little pleasures, and be grateful for each day youre given. dont ever forget to smile. if you truly love and appreciate all of life, you will radiate each day with an unshakeable optimism that will endure through the good and bad times, it also can help others to find contentment themselves. good luck!
I want to live a long happy life. What advice would you give me?
About a few years ago for about 6-7 years I was completely happyy and the main reason was I looked deep inside of myself, realized who I am%26gt; I was so joyful everyday be even by something less significant, such as the morning dew on plants, flowers, etc. I have always treated others the way I like to be treated, with kindness, respect, friendship, etc. So my happiness came from knowin myself from deep inside, Being true to self, I was always myself; not one to put on different masks. I volunteered for the less fortunate and got immense gratification and happiness from helping others. I think human beings should all help each other; there's euporia in doing so.
Unfortunately two years ago quite a few unhappy, sad, and devestating things happened in my life. I tried to do my best dealing with issues but there were tremendous number of them. I developed severe depression, anxiety attacks, lost sense of my self. I was NOT happy. Through therapy and medication little by little I regain a bit of how I used to be when I was happy. It will take time, and I will get back to the state of healthy sense of self and happiness.
My Advice::
- go deep inside of yourself and find the real you
- have a healthy sense of self and confident and self-awareness
- Help others in any way you can - This for me was the most gratifying thing to do, and made me so happy.
- surround yourself with people who will mutually love you back and you trust.
- if you have the means, learn about other cultures and travel to those places
-pick one favorite exercise, and do it every day. Pick one that really gives you pleasure. I love swimming because it's a very calming experience for me. When I swim, I am happy. I am starting to ge back into it.
I wish you will find what you seek.
A happy, peaceful, contented, and prosperous life is what I wish you.
I know I have achieved happiness, as for a long life... I am only 25 and I could die today or tomorrow or in 60 years, so I don't know.
As for the happiness part, this is what I surmise.
I use to drink and party to be happy. I would try to make the most money I could and spend it on what I wanted. I would be happy for a little while, then I would be depressed and alone. I sought religions and beliefs, such as Wicca, Mormonism, Voo Doo, etc... These would also make me happy for a season but ultimately leave me feeling depressed and sometimes insane. I felt as though I did not belong to anything, anyone, and I had no purpose, the whole ';screw the world'; attitude.
Then I read the Holy Bible, mainly the New Testament and researched its accuracy and message. This book made more sense of life than anything else. I became saved, I felt loved and very happy. I realize now that I am a part of all God's creations, I am never alone, and I have a purpose very day that I wake up. I never have to feel sorry or feel that I must condemn myself for my past or future, it is all in God's hands.
As for longevity, well I am not staying away from things that would harm my health because of my belief, so there ya go.
Love, accept, don't judge, and have compassion. These are just a few things that help to bring true happiness to oneself. It has taken the Dalai Lama a lifetime to pass along his teachings to the world, and a lifetime for each of us to fully understand them and live them. I believe he is one of the few that truly experience the greatest happiness.
For me personally, I focus on why I believe I am here. I feel like I have a purpose to help others. I have been given many gifts, and have learned some along the way.
In short, experience, an open heart, and an open mind are the ways to get there. (IMHO) Much hard work and perseverance also!
Go to God and live the way He wants you to and stop eating processed foods from the supermarket.
Eat as much foodstuff that you can grow, get out of the city, exorcise both body and brain daily. Never retire. Be sure to keep the Sabbath because both body and brain do need a rest whether you feel like it or not. Rest on the seventh day it will rejuvenate you and in order to live the body needs to be rejuvenated on a regular basis. We weren't made for the Sabbath darlin but the Sabbath was made for us.
Unlearn what knowledge you have for your diet and get into a structured and serious study of diet.
Laugh.
Find laughter where ever you can. Love; give it as much as you can to everyone you meet. Even the people you don't like.
That's it in a nutshell darlin I hope this helps you.
I have plenty of life experience. Been through hell and still survived.
The key to a successful life is how big you can dream, how well you can follow direction, and how eager you are to stay with your goal, whatever the goal is. That's it. Simple. (It's different for everybody).
Live fully in each and every moment. Don't wait to find happiness, or love, or peace or joy. The only way to ';find'; those things is to BE them first. Each moment...each breath that you draw, is filled with happiness and peace, and joy, and love, if you just look.
Learn to take things as they come, never worry about tomorrow, and esp learn how to always find something to be thankful for. One more thing to keep in mind: life is what's happening while you're making plans :)
best luck
Always remember where you came from, and try not to ';F'; over the little guys too hard. It's impossible to be happy all the time. You should begin to notice this factoid in your twenties.
dont get married. stay single. no kids. right there if you do them three things. you should have 300,000 in the bank. and with money you wont have stress. stress is a deal breaker.
The only way is to explore self...
Only an thorough understanding of ';yourself'; will help you lead a lengthy and happy life
Stay healthy- both mentally and physically. Eat healthy food. Exercise. Don't be stressed.
Eat healthy, excise, express your feeling and don't stress might cause tension in your body.
do not put poisons in your body, such as alcohol, nicotine and illicit drugs.
Don't Dream It, Be It.

What are you selling? You should pick a name that relates to what you are selling.
It's a bit tricky to think of names without knowing the nature of your business first, but here's a good place to search for and buy domains... Bargain Beaver (bargainbeaver.com), a new domain company has domains for only $1.99 a year with hosting. Their regular domain price is only $6.95--that's more than 3 bucks cheaper than GoDaddy. I hope this helps.
Um... you are going to have to give some details about your business. www.starbucks.com wouldn't be a good website address for McDonalds.
depends on the business you are starting n the profile... provide with a bit more info, then i'l be able to help you :)

I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
I am 6 feet tall, and I have a job interview tomorrow.
Should I wear heels?
I don't want to tower over the interviewer, but I do want to look confident. I also cannot afford to go purchase new shoes just for this interview.
(I do have some small heels, and my interview shoes have a 2 inch heel on them, look very nice... from a second hand shop.
I do have some flat shoes, but they are sandals, and I am in Louisiana... I think that it will be cool tomorrow, so the weather does not permit sandals.I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
I am also 6 ft. tall and ALWAYS wear high heels!! It makes you look more professional wearing heels instead of sandals, flats are good as long as they are dressy and go with what you are wearing. It also lets the employer know that you are confident in yourself and don't mind being tall!! Right now I am wearing some knee high boots that are about 3 inches high with a long skirt!! Don't let it bother ya!! You're model height!!I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
wear whatever shoes go with your outfit.
Your already 6', another 2 inches wont make much difference to the person interviewing you.
It's not your fault that your tall. If you stand up straight and look polished, you will show confidence. Besides, it is said the tall people get paid more =)
Looking confident has much to do with posture.
1)Do not slouch. Align and straighten your spine
2)Pull back your shoulders
3)Head up. Alter your eye level without bowing your head or hunching your back
4)Place your weight evenly on both feet.
You don't need to be tall to look confident although i do agree height can be use as tool to intimidate others.
When it come to shoes, the safest is a harmless black cot shoe which goes with most formal outfit. What is most important however is that you are comfortable wearing that shoe. Meaning it does not make fidget or to stand on one leg. Yup, but if u have a to-die-for shoe which enhance your overall presentation and makes u confident. Go for it.
Definitely don't wear sandals to a job interview unless the job is really casual, but even then I'd dress a little more professional. Most of my female friends are between 5'11 and 6'0 and they wear low heels when a heel is appropriate. Don't worry about your height. Even if you wore flats, the interviewer could be 5'4. There's nothing you can do about that. Just walk in there, look amazing and wow them with your knowledge. Good luck!
wear the shortest heels possible.
most women use heels because they are not tall enough, heels don't make you look confident. it's the height behind the heels that does. and you're already tall for a woman.
but wearing sneakers or sandals to an interview is unprofessional so just wear the smallest heels you have.
what?
anyway good luck!
I would keep the look as if you intend go with the 3'; heels. That should not play a part in your, I would not go with a flat if your wearing a suit and never go in sandals. They do not look very professional.
I think you should wear the two inch heels and a black dress. It doesn't look too overpowering, and black dresses can look both simple and elegant. I go with the black dress!
Wear the heels honey, stand proud of your height, you'll look more confident and professional. They aren't going to not give you the job because of your height!
Honey, you can't help your height!!
Wear the shoes that look the nicest with your suit (2'; heels or otherwise!), hold your head up high, put those shoulders back and smile! Walking into that interview with confidence will make a better impression than flats will any day.
Good luck!
Wear the 2-inch heels. It's better to look your best than looking frumpy by wearing flats.
If you don't get hired because the Human Services V.P. or other officers are secretly intimidated by your height, you definitely do not want to work there anyway.
wear shoes in which you feel most confident and which look the newest.

I need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
I am renovating a Katrina flooded home I purchased. It currently has siding on the second story and we want to remove the siding and install stucco. I have heard that I need to be careful with different types of stucco. Could someone explain the best, most affordable type of stucco that I should use. I have been told that EIFS is not good and that I should not go with traditional stucco either which is too heavy. But I am confused as to other types of stucco, like ';DEFS'; or ';System'; or ';conventional'; Can someone give me some input? Thank you! :o)I need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
Don't use any type of stucco, synthetic or real. Too many problems with it especially in your humid area.
A better bet is hardie board type siding. It's a cement fiber siding, looks great and is very weather resistant. You can find some info here http://www.hardie.com/homeowner.htmI need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
http://www.modernwallsystems.com
EIFS is great. Just remember to use a cement board or densglass as the substrate. EIFS does not belong on wood.
Conventional stucco is basically sand and cement stucco. (Lime is used for the finish coat)
EIFS is far more superior to conventional stucco because the lamina is only 1/4'; thick so it isn't susceptible to cracks and because of it's insulation value.

above all else, just remember it is YOUR life and no one elses. you are the only person guaranteed to be with you from the moment youre born until you die. so YOU should always like the reflection of your self.
be compassionate, understanding, and forgiving. dont hold grudges. dont cheat people.
also make sure youre always being genuine. truth trumps everything.
eat a healthy well-balanced diet, exercise--its good for you and helps alleviate stress. dont sweat the small stuff. do activities you enjoy to relieve stress, like gardening, yoga, or painting, etc..
make choices which are in line with your goals.
enjoy the little pleasures, and be grateful for each day youre given. dont ever forget to smile. if you truly love and appreciate all of life, you will radiate each day with an unshakeable optimism that will endure through the good and bad times, it also can help others to find contentment themselves. good luck!
I want to live a long happy life. What advice would you give me?
About a few years ago for about 6-7 years I was completely happyy and the main reason was I looked deep inside of myself, realized who I am%26gt; I was so joyful everyday be even by something less significant, such as the morning dew on plants, flowers, etc. I have always treated others the way I like to be treated, with kindness, respect, friendship, etc. So my happiness came from knowin myself from deep inside, Being true to self, I was always myself; not one to put on different masks. I volunteered for the less fortunate and got immense gratification and happiness from helping others. I think human beings should all help each other; there's euporia in doing so.
Unfortunately two years ago quite a few unhappy, sad, and devestating things happened in my life. I tried to do my best dealing with issues but there were tremendous number of them. I developed severe depression, anxiety attacks, lost sense of my self. I was NOT happy. Through therapy and medication little by little I regain a bit of how I used to be when I was happy. It will take time, and I will get back to the state of healthy sense of self and happiness.
My Advice::
- go deep inside of yourself and find the real you
- have a healthy sense of self and confident and self-awareness
- Help others in any way you can - This for me was the most gratifying thing to do, and made me so happy.
- surround yourself with people who will mutually love you back and you trust.
- if you have the means, learn about other cultures and travel to those places
-pick one favorite exercise, and do it every day. Pick one that really gives you pleasure. I love swimming because it's a very calming experience for me. When I swim, I am happy. I am starting to ge back into it.
I wish you will find what you seek.
A happy, peaceful, contented, and prosperous life is what I wish you.
I know I have achieved happiness, as for a long life... I am only 25 and I could die today or tomorrow or in 60 years, so I don't know.
As for the happiness part, this is what I surmise.
I use to drink and party to be happy. I would try to make the most money I could and spend it on what I wanted. I would be happy for a little while, then I would be depressed and alone. I sought religions and beliefs, such as Wicca, Mormonism, Voo Doo, etc... These would also make me happy for a season but ultimately leave me feeling depressed and sometimes insane. I felt as though I did not belong to anything, anyone, and I had no purpose, the whole ';screw the world'; attitude.
Then I read the Holy Bible, mainly the New Testament and researched its accuracy and message. This book made more sense of life than anything else. I became saved, I felt loved and very happy. I realize now that I am a part of all God's creations, I am never alone, and I have a purpose very day that I wake up. I never have to feel sorry or feel that I must condemn myself for my past or future, it is all in God's hands.
As for longevity, well I am not staying away from things that would harm my health because of my belief, so there ya go.
Love, accept, don't judge, and have compassion. These are just a few things that help to bring true happiness to oneself. It has taken the Dalai Lama a lifetime to pass along his teachings to the world, and a lifetime for each of us to fully understand them and live them. I believe he is one of the few that truly experience the greatest happiness.
For me personally, I focus on why I believe I am here. I feel like I have a purpose to help others. I have been given many gifts, and have learned some along the way.
In short, experience, an open heart, and an open mind are the ways to get there. (IMHO) Much hard work and perseverance also!
Go to God and live the way He wants you to and stop eating processed foods from the supermarket.
Eat as much foodstuff that you can grow, get out of the city, exorcise both body and brain daily. Never retire. Be sure to keep the Sabbath because both body and brain do need a rest whether you feel like it or not. Rest on the seventh day it will rejuvenate you and in order to live the body needs to be rejuvenated on a regular basis. We weren't made for the Sabbath darlin but the Sabbath was made for us.
Unlearn what knowledge you have for your diet and get into a structured and serious study of diet.
Laugh.
Find laughter where ever you can. Love; give it as much as you can to everyone you meet. Even the people you don't like.
That's it in a nutshell darlin I hope this helps you.
I have plenty of life experience. Been through hell and still survived.
The key to a successful life is how big you can dream, how well you can follow direction, and how eager you are to stay with your goal, whatever the goal is. That's it. Simple. (It's different for everybody).
Live fully in each and every moment. Don't wait to find happiness, or love, or peace or joy. The only way to ';find'; those things is to BE them first. Each moment...each breath that you draw, is filled with happiness and peace, and joy, and love, if you just look.
Learn to take things as they come, never worry about tomorrow, and esp learn how to always find something to be thankful for. One more thing to keep in mind: life is what's happening while you're making plans :)
best luck
Always remember where you came from, and try not to ';F'; over the little guys too hard. It's impossible to be happy all the time. You should begin to notice this factoid in your twenties.
dont get married. stay single. no kids. right there if you do them three things. you should have 300,000 in the bank. and with money you wont have stress. stress is a deal breaker.
The only way is to explore self...
Only an thorough understanding of ';yourself'; will help you lead a lengthy and happy life
Stay healthy- both mentally and physically. Eat healthy food. Exercise. Don't be stressed.
Eat healthy, excise, express your feeling and don't stress might cause tension in your body.
do not put poisons in your body, such as alcohol, nicotine and illicit drugs.
Don't Dream It, Be It.

There are so many dogs in the local dogs' home, I'm thinking of adopting one. what advice would you give?
I've never had a dog before, so really need to know what I'm letting myself in for. I want it to be happy as some of them have been severely neglected. I know about taking them out for walks morning and evening, and feeding them, but what else should I know?There are so many dogs in the local dogs' home, I'm thinking of adopting one. what advice would you give?
Rescue dogs spend time in foster homes before they are adopted, they come to you with at least some social skills and some degree of housebreaking!
Training is easier. Whatever additional training needs to be done with a rescue dog will be much easier than training a puppy. It’s like the difference between training a one-year-old child and an eight-year-old. Dogs who have been around for a while just “get it” faster than puppies-especially housebreaking!
The bond is strong. Dogs who have not gotten off to the best possible start in life-who have been neglected or even abused-tend to be very loyal and affectionate. Remember that dogs are pack animals, and they take their treatment by the “pack”-their owners and families-very much to heart. A dog that has been neglected or abandoned once is usually eager to become part of a loving pack, where she feels safe and secure, and is likely to act accordingly. We find that rescue dogs are generally eager to please their new owners. Puppy mill rescues often want to be in your lap at all times and will follow you from room to room, just to be near you.
Fewer vet fees. Rescue dogs have had physical examinations, have been spayed or neutered, have been tested for heart worm, and are up to date on shots. When you buy a puppy, you pay for the dog AND for puppy shots, spaying or neutering, and any other basic medical expenses.
What you see is what you get. When you buy a puppy, you can never really be sure what type of dog you’re going to get. All puppies are cute and playful, but their adult personalities aren’t visible until they’re about two years old. So you don’t know whether you’re getting a dog who wants to play all the time (ALL the time!) or a couch potato. When you rescue a dog, you know what the dog’s personality is like and whether it fits with what you want in a dog companion. You also know, in advance, about any problem areas the new owner will have to address.
Spend some time with each of the dogs that you think you way want to re home then choose the one you feel most comfortable for and can accommodate.There are so many dogs in the local dogs' home, I'm thinking of adopting one. what advice would you give?
It depends on what kind of dog you plan on getting, what age, and whether or not he or she has had prior training.
I'd suggest spending some time with some of the dogs and find one that has a personality that suits you, and preferably a mellow dog. If it's a purebred, research that breed. If it's a mix, do research on the breeds it might be a mix of. Since you've never had a dog, I'd suggest taking a training class with the dog, even if the dog does seem pretty well trained. It's a good bonding activity for you.
I'd try to get a healthy dog. I know it'd be wonderful to save a dog that has medical problems, but it probably wouldn't be the best thing for a first time dog owner.
Dogs are children who never grow up. The depend on you for everything, walks, food, love, affection, companionship. You get out what you put in! I always tell people, walk through your shelter, when you find ';your dog'; you'll know. Your heart will tell you.
They will give you time to meet with the dog and usually the shelter has volunteers who know the dogs well and can answer a majority of your questions.
Consider your lifestyle as well. Are you very active, slightly active - do you work a lot, are you away from home a lot. Can you afford veterinary care, food, toys, etc?
Well, you need to know it is a 12 --17 year commitment.
That vet bills every year run between $150. to $300.. and an emergency can get as high as $1000. these days.
You need to plan on getting a trainer to help you... that costs.. OR you can read books on training, but if you are a first time person.. I suggest you get into a puppy class to help you learn HOW to train.
Dogs do not think like people. If you get a dog that has been abused or neglected... it's even more likely that you will need a trainer to help you ((they are often aggressive or so frightened that they can easily bite out of fear.................
OR at least a friend that is very experienced with dogs and willing to give you a LOT of time.
Make sure that you get one that is guaranteed to be house broken!!!!!!!
Get it in writing that he/she is house broken!!!!!!
After that, most things fall into place.
You need to know dogs are not humans. They are pack animals; they need discipline and you need to train them to respect you as their leader.
This will come down to you , and you only your choice.

It's a bit tricky to think of names without knowing the nature of your business first, but here's a good place to search for and buy domains... Bargain Beaver (bargainbeaver.com), a new domain company has domains for only $1.99 a year with hosting. Their regular domain price is only $6.95--that's more than 3 bucks cheaper than GoDaddy. I hope this helps.

I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
I am 6 feet tall, and I have a job interview tomorrow.
Should I wear heels?
I don't want to tower over the interviewer, but I do want to look confident. I also cannot afford to go purchase new shoes just for this interview.
(I do have some small heels, and my interview shoes have a 2 inch heel on them, look very nice... from a second hand shop.
I do have some flat shoes, but they are sandals, and I am in Louisiana... I think that it will be cool tomorrow, so the weather does not permit sandals.I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
I am also 6 ft. tall and ALWAYS wear high heels!! It makes you look more professional wearing heels instead of sandals, flats are good as long as they are dressy and go with what you are wearing. It also lets the employer know that you are confident in yourself and don't mind being tall!! Right now I am wearing some knee high boots that are about 3 inches high with a long skirt!! Don't let it bother ya!! You're model height!!I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?
wear whatever shoes go with your outfit.
Your already 6', another 2 inches wont make much difference to the person interviewing you.
It's not your fault that your tall. If you stand up straight and look polished, you will show confidence. Besides, it is said the tall people get paid more =)
Looking confident has much to do with posture.
1)Do not slouch. Align and straighten your spine
2)Pull back your shoulders
3)Head up. Alter your eye level without bowing your head or hunching your back
4)Place your weight evenly on both feet.
You don't need to be tall to look confident although i do agree height can be use as tool to intimidate others.
When it come to shoes, the safest is a harmless black cot shoe which goes with most formal outfit. What is most important however is that you are comfortable wearing that shoe. Meaning it does not make fidget or to stand on one leg. Yup, but if u have a to-die-for shoe which enhance your overall presentation and makes u confident. Go for it.
Definitely don't wear sandals to a job interview unless the job is really casual, but even then I'd dress a little more professional. Most of my female friends are between 5'11 and 6'0 and they wear low heels when a heel is appropriate. Don't worry about your height. Even if you wore flats, the interviewer could be 5'4. There's nothing you can do about that. Just walk in there, look amazing and wow them with your knowledge. Good luck!
wear the shortest heels possible.
most women use heels because they are not tall enough, heels don't make you look confident. it's the height behind the heels that does. and you're already tall for a woman.
but wearing sneakers or sandals to an interview is unprofessional so just wear the smallest heels you have.
what?
anyway good luck!
I would keep the look as if you intend go with the 3'; heels. That should not play a part in your, I would not go with a flat if your wearing a suit and never go in sandals. They do not look very professional.
I think you should wear the two inch heels and a black dress. It doesn't look too overpowering, and black dresses can look both simple and elegant. I go with the black dress!
Wear the heels honey, stand proud of your height, you'll look more confident and professional. They aren't going to not give you the job because of your height!
Honey, you can't help your height!!
Wear the shoes that look the nicest with your suit (2'; heels or otherwise!), hold your head up high, put those shoulders back and smile! Walking into that interview with confidence will make a better impression than flats will any day.
Good luck!
Wear the 2-inch heels. It's better to look your best than looking frumpy by wearing flats.
If you don't get hired because the Human Services V.P. or other officers are secretly intimidated by your height, you definitely do not want to work there anyway.
wear shoes in which you feel most confident and which look the newest.

I need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
I am renovating a Katrina flooded home I purchased. It currently has siding on the second story and we want to remove the siding and install stucco. I have heard that I need to be careful with different types of stucco. Could someone explain the best, most affordable type of stucco that I should use. I have been told that EIFS is not good and that I should not go with traditional stucco either which is too heavy. But I am confused as to other types of stucco, like ';DEFS'; or ';System'; or ';conventional'; Can someone give me some input? Thank you! :o)I need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
Don't use any type of stucco, synthetic or real. Too many problems with it especially in your humid area.
A better bet is hardie board type siding. It's a cement fiber siding, looks great and is very weather resistant. You can find some info here http://www.hardie.com/homeowner.htmI need advice on installing exterior Stucco - I live in New Orleans, can you help?
http://www.modernwallsystems.com
EIFS is great. Just remember to use a cement board or densglass as the substrate. EIFS does not belong on wood.
Conventional stucco is basically sand and cement stucco. (Lime is used for the finish coat)
EIFS is far more superior to conventional stucco because the lamina is only 1/4'; thick so it isn't susceptible to cracks and because of it's insulation value.

Girls, i need your advice/experience. What would you do if your brother chellenged you to this bet? ?
My brother told me that he would never drop to his knees or cry if a girl hit him in the groin? He even challenged me to a bet on it. Im not sure i can do that?
anybody ever done it? how hard 1-10? how did he react?Girls, i need your advice/experience. What would you do if your brother chellenged you to this bet? ?
ouch dont do itGirls, i need your advice/experience. What would you do if your brother chellenged you to this bet? ?
LOLs. wow...your brother either has a very high pain tolerance, or he is very, very stupid.
I guess it depends on the guy. Sometimes, when I accidentally knee my boyfriend in the groin in bed, he cries out in agony. I don't think I do it too hard, either. They say it really, really hurts though. I think boys are just pansies =p
simple hes not a man it he doesn't. The science behind it is his balls retract into his abdomen it hurts, he may not cry or fall to his knees but it will hurt and be funny he will most likely be on his back
I did it and it didn't hurt to much and i hit pretty hard. my friend has also kicked a guy there.....the kick was REALLY hard....he didn't cry. depends on pain tolerance
Trust me...he will cry. If you take the bet you will lose. Don't do it.
ummm that would hurt so yeah idk if he has one or not but i say go for it.
anybody ever done it? how hard 1-10? how did he react?Girls, i need your advice/experience. What would you do if your brother chellenged you to this bet? ?

What do you think? any advice and help please?
I would like to be Architect, but I am scared that it easy for them to go to a jail. Is it possible for Architect to go to jail? Why or why not? Please give me reasons?
Thank You.What do you think? any advice and help please?
Maybe the curriculum for a major in architecture includes a class on the legal aspects of architectural work. Check it out. That might ease your mind.What do you think? any advice and help please?
um...what kind of architect do you wanna be? Unless you don't do anything illegal, just like everyone else, you should be fine...
Yes, if he broke some law, an architect -- or a school teacher for that matter -- could go to jail.eyeshadow color

I need advice! If you have ever married a divorcee with kids, what advice would you give me?
I am marrying a man 10 years older that me with two teenagers. I love him and his kids very much! I even get along with his ex-wife (for the most part).
If you then what you know now....what advice would you give me?I need advice! If you have ever married a divorcee with kids, what advice would you give me?
I married a man 17 years older than me who had 2 girls aged 11 and 9. I have often said to my female friends to not follow in my footsteps but that has tended to be when i was going through a rough patch. My hubbys realtionship was very strained with his ex and that made things difficult. The main issue i have had has been since we had our own kids. His kids were allowed to have ice cream before dinner mine werent. His kids could do whatever they wanted because he was scared that they would reject him and never see him again. This has and still can be very difficult to deal with. The kids also tended to swing their affection with their dad depending on their moms view of things.
This said I now have a gorgeous grandson and have a fantastic r'ship with my step daughters and their hubby/bf (being closer in age i am more a bigger sister than a mom). My sons are only 8 and 10 and can sometimes feel that they have 3 mom and 3 dads telling em off and it can get hard on them.
So my advice after all that is to stick together on all things and parent equally - his and ur kids together. Dont underestimate the power of an ex-wife to reak havoc in ur family (even if u are getting along now) and when it all gets really hard look him in the eyes and remember u married him because u loved him and that he comes with baggage that may have implications for ur marriage.
Good Luck! We have been together 15 years and married for 9 years and still madly in love.I need advice! If you have ever married a divorcee with kids, what advice would you give me?
My friend just married a man - similar situation to yours.
Well, I think what impacted my friend most is - she always liked his daughters (she has a boy and a girl - not teens for a while) and got along well with them while dating but upon moving in and marrying things changed...Teenagers are funny people - not open to a lot of new experiences (teens can be self-centered) and their at home behavior was different from my friend and her routine. One likes a lot of attention and will get it any way she can, the other is a food hoarder - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It takes time to blend and get to know each other...sometimes, when they aren't your kids - you have to let it go and stand in the sidelines. You just can't change everything and everyone to match up that picture of perfection you have in your head.
Patience, love and understanding are key there...
If you marry him, make sure he makes enough money to take care of you and his children. Also, make sure you check the divorce decree and found out about current and child support while in college.
The ex-wife will change once she finds out you are going to get married. So be prepared for her to try to change the children.
understand going into the marriage that even though he loves you and you love him (and his kids) he will always side with them. Try to stay out of all disputes between them and if they come to you with the famous line of ';please don't tell daddy'; immediately let them know that you will have no part of secrets from your husband.
Enter with caution.
Understand that you will never be number one in his life.
I can't answer personally, but my parents are 10 years apart. My mom and dad both had teenagers when they met. They had a hard time, but that was because my dad's ex was trying to get him back, and the kids hated my mom.
I think as long as you truly are on good terms with the ex, and the kids, there would be no problems other than the ordinary every day ones. Love conquers all anyway. I bet things will go just fine.
GOOD LUCK!
