Or asked another way, wait are the 'cons' to living in the typical Dallas suburbs? I can clearly buy my same house for 1/3 the cost and support myself w/ the local job market. I'm considering getting out of the rat race of Orange County, CA. Mid-30's married dad of 2 under 3 yrs old. Thanks!

I'm seeing them in higher-end catalogs. Like Horchow, where I can only afford to fantasy-shop.

http://www.horchow.com/store/catalog/47/search.jhtml?srcText=antler&ip_state=&ip_autoSummarize=true&ip_perPage=15&ip_dataPage=&orgUrl=%2Fstore%2Fcatalog%2F47%2Fsearch.jhtml&srcTextHidden=

Would you want these, or do you have them?

Personally, if I can ever afford to seriously shop from these catalogs, you can bet that I will *not* be buying things that would make my home look like the interior of my redneck relatives' trailers!

I don't get it. Maybe one of y'all can help?

I'm growing some dwarf apache chillis, and they all look healthy. The pic on the label indicates they'll be long, thin and red (I only have two red short ones). Al the rest are green and fat and on testing *very* hot. Are they dwarf apache? And when should I harvest them?

Seriously, they have lost thousands of dollars of business from me and many others I know, because after you choose what you are going to buy, you simply can't. Any ideas why?

I have a big olde' chestnut tree in the front of my neighbours house, but the roots keep pushing into our yard, and everything under the overhanging of the tree dies if you plant anything. Do you think I can grow anything, if I put a barrier between the ground (ie: newspaper - lots of it) and then a bunch of soil on top. Do you think it'll work?

Its 8ft by 4ft and 3 ft high, about 600 gallons of water and it sits outside in the sun. Do I just need to get chlorine, or what? How often do you add it, where should I get it? Thanks

I have a ranp (2x8 board) that I use to load and unload my dirtbike. I would like to paint it black but do not want it to be too smooth and be difficult to load a bike with wet tires. Could I mix saw dust with the paint to give it texture and increase the traction.

What are other suggestions?
