My roomate and I moved in yesterday. We live in Orange County in a really nice apartment. We are responsible for all utilities: trash, water, electricity, and gas. We have a washer/dryer and dishwasher. We have a/c but don't really plan on using it. There are only two of us, but each of us have our own bathroom. What is the conjugate total of the bills and do you have any ideas about lowering it? Thanks people!

I just bought my first home and loved the fact that it has a jacuzzi tub. The problem is that the jets are gross!! I've used lime away and bleach and they look a lot cleaner. My concern is that there's still stuff back in there that might come out if I try to use it! (gross!!)

Help!!

the store it belongs to has been closed for a long time & it is 3 miles away. not sure how the cart got in my neighborhood. children playing with it, left it where it was - neighbor told them to not leave it there, they said "you know it's not ours" & left it, he brought it to my yard before i got home. i'm upset but don't want to start a war with my neighbors over ignorance. the city said they can't do anything & won't take it on trash day.
what do i do?
stinky neighbor has a freaking pick up truck & i have a honda civic - he could move it easier than i could!
and no, i dont want to use it to haul things across my yard in

I have tried to reset from the circuit breaker but that doesn't work. these plugs do not have the reset buttons on them how can I get them to work again? I actually have only one plug that works in the kitchen and none in the bathrooms.

This is coming early (really early) so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list.
Read on........

Fun with the ACLU......
Wanna have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year.

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.

Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it Here's the Address, just don't be rude or crude. (It's Not the Christian Way, you know!)

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor New York, NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 39 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a "Holiday Tree". . . . It's a Christmas Tree even in the fields!!

And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!

It seems to trip when I run the shower in the morning. Once reset, it usually doesn't trip again until the next time I use the shower. The problem was intermittent but has become increasingly consistent. Could it have to do with water level in the well(in kind of a dry spell)? Could it be the breaker?

ive seen waynes coating made on the t.v shows like tading spaces and so forth but, they never go into in-depth details. Ive been told that you can use oak veneer panel boards and then make the frame like trim. does anyone have any suggestions or ideas. I prefer the stained waynes coating(my crown moulding is wood-stained). what I need is just the info on the types of wood to use and what kind of trim to make it look professional
