What precautions can we take, if any, to keep the house safe? Aside from basic things, like having candles and food ready. What are the dangerous involved in a lightening storm. It was REALLY loud. Our phones went out and if it wern't for a surge protectoer, our computers would have too. Our dvd player even broke!

I tried changing the washer but that didn't help. Could it be related to a vacuum breaker that is trying to prevent backflow?

I am interested in the history of this rose. I know it grows well in Tennessee and southwards, but I have not seen it in the Midwest. It should bloom all summer and has a wonderful fragrance. Is it featured in any rose gardens in the Missouri/Iowa/Wisconsin areas? Does anyone have experience growing it there? Photographs? Places where it can be purchased?

I sleep in the basement, but I have a hard time sleeping because lights from cars going by all night shine through the windows into my eyes.
I would rather avoid buying drapes or curtains, which take a lot of time and money to install.
Instead, does anyone know any product that covers windows that you can just put on them, like some kind of adhesive substance?

Many many nights I have lain dripping in sweat pondering the answer to this question.Small plastic/pottery figures in the garden...Is this a front for what really goes on behind the chince curtains? Pentagrams scratched on the wall,sacrifices to the dark lord Pan,dancing naked over flickering fires chanting evil mantras of sin? Or just harmless, lovely old ladies that like a splash of colour next to the water feature? Who owns these figurines of dubious intent? and why?

Are garden centres all over the planet blissfully unaware that they may be retailing the very icons of a dark satanic sect?
Is a 'Gnome' with a 'fishing rod' really a juju harvester of the souls of the lost, cast into the firey firmament?
Are gardens sullied by the filth of these pottery/plastic demons or am I in need of a short break in Majorca with a busty 25 year old swedish model?

When I moved into my apartment 2 years ago, it had painted countertops. I told my landlord and he said they would work just fine. As you can imagine, they are all scraped and chipped now even though I have been as gentle w/ themm as possible. My landlord refuses to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix it cheaply?
