A window airconditioner unit had caught fire and in one of the bedrooms damaging the walls, floor, electric, e.c.t. But the frame and structure of the house hasn't been burned. We've been making repairs and then the city leaves a sign on it "CONDEMNED" and we needed to get 3 kinds of estimates before 10days or we would loose our property. Well, we got the estimates and filed before the 10day deadline and were told they would contact us for the hearing and they haven't. It's been almost 2 months and the house still stand (by law we can't work on it). What do we do? Can we file a complaint against the city for damages caused by not allowing us to work on it. (pain and suffering maybe) Are there laws on how long they can keep us on hold? What do we do?

I'm thinking of getting a corn snake and saw a premade snake starter kit at the store. It has 2 lamps,water bowl, temp / humidity gages, hide box kinda thing, 20 gallon tank, etc. Should I purchase this if I'm buying a baby? or is 20 gallons to much space for the baby snake? and would it be better to purchase a smaller tank and buy everything seperately?

I would like a new animal but I dont want anything like a dog or a cat so if you have any ideas let me know? I was thinking like a hamster but they smell I heard so if you have any facts on hamsters that would help too.

(Hypothetical speaking ofcourse), Who would you sell this idea to and for what price? What are the repercussions of such discovery on world economy. Oil, Gas, Transport, MiddleEast?

We have seen a chameleon in a pet shop. It is £95. It is also a fantastic and very friendly creature. I want it. But I don't want it to die just after I get it home. What is the best way to look after it?
And, yes - it changed colour in front of my very eyes (interestingly only the side towards us changed to the blue of the background. The other side stayed the same colour as that of the background in the vivarium. How does it do this?)

To summerise:
How do I look after it?
How does it change colour?
How long is their average lifespan?
How big will it get?

Thanks.

Tolstoy's "War And Peace"?
I can't make up my mind to read it or not. 1400 pages (the beautiful Folio edition). The alternative is Rutherfurd's "The Forest". If you've read any of these books, please give me your opinion.

There's a battle scene in the film,The Caine Mutiny, where all of crewman are ordered to put on white face cream.

The only thing I could speculate is that it's a crude type of sunscreen.

Does anyone know what this cream was, and what purpose it was supposed to serve?

We have been in a relationship on & off for 2 years. We got back together four months ago and he was a changed man for the better, However the past few weeks we have been rowing over silly things. We love each other and planned a life together. We had yet another silly argument over him cancelling our date to go out with his mates and he left me. He wont return my calls or text's and is putting all the blame on me. He has gone from wanting to Marry me to not wanting to speak to me ever again in 24 Hours. I am very upset and hurt and want him back. I know deep down he is no good for me but I love him and just want him back. How do I win him back?

Pretty dirty, K-Mart on the main street downtown, not very civil, everyone is from Philly.. No one seemed to be from more than 100 miles away. Chicago and Boston are leaps and bounds ahead.

Given he has been in charge of the treasury and I cannot see any economic development (and i mean on the ground, what i see myself, jobs, prices falling, better salaries etc..) I am not impressed! Also this is the berk who believes higher taxes is better for us. I am not convinced at all! How about you? Or is it time to copy Guy Fawlks and burn parliament?
