photo of this that was featured in the magazine earlier this year. Or the just the words. I am trying to replicate that verse on a wall in my kitchen. Has anyone still got their copy or do you know the verse. It is not the "Our Father Prayer".

I've collected several old Smokey the Bear posters and was thinking about laminating them, maybe this is a bad idea. Can't really afford to have them all mounted/framed. Don't know if they are or ever will be worth anything, i just love them. What do you think?

Do you guys know of a company that ships LARGE palms and is not too expensive? I'd like it to be very simple, simply order a palm, and have it show up on my doorstep, is this possible?

Also, I do know that colorado is a tough place to grow palms, however, with the right palms and southern exposure, palms can survive. I have seen them live!

I have a property in the High Desert in CA. The heater didn't pass the ventillation test the gas company did. The HVAC people came over and said it's a cracked vent and they have to replace the furnace. They want $1200 for the whole job. The new furnace is a different size since the old one was made in 1950s and they don't make them any more. So it's basically a new furnace, all parts, fitting to new size (since it's bigger) and all the labor, all done in one day. Is that a deal that makes sense?

http://www.ivansmith.com/pag_product_id_354_p_1770-brown-michelle.html it looks better in person and i have the sleigh bed not that tiny little bed. anyways i painted my walls lilac because thats the color i wanted them to be. i'm afraid my furniture won't look good in my room though.. it's still wrapped up and such so it won't get dirty/damaged (we're remodeling our entire house) and won't be in my room for a few weeks maybe. i thought my furniture was darker but i havent seen it in so long i honestly cant remember how dark it is. so um click the link and lemme know if you guys think it'll be ok?

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

All the shingles on the roof are a grey color. The stain is fairly color less. The shingles look wet where the stain is when the surrounding shingles look dry. The stain came from me pouring coffee and other liquids out my second floor window. How can I get rid of the stain without damaging the shingles? I was thinking of using a bleach solution but I am afraid of permanently staining the shingles where I pour the bleach. Do you think that the snow and rain will eventually get rid of the stain?

We have several nice items to sell such as an antique dining table and a handcrafted drafting table. With it being so near Christmas we are not sure when would be the best time to sell furniture. We will run an ad in the paper listing specific items to help draw people out but I wonder if its better to wait until Spring for this sort of thing. (Though we live in the South and its quite warm for winter)

Thanks!

I know that individual sprinklers have heat-sensitive bits in them, but if one sprinkler is set off does that trigger all the other ones in the building, or is it just that one that goes off? On TV it usually looks like they all go off, but it seems like it would make more sense for them not to. So what really happens?

Seriously, this is important. We have to do a science fair project, and we won't get anywhere if no one answers. If you wouldn't mind, make it something we can buy in a spray bottle or something simple like that. We want to see which is the best. We need like twenty answers, so please please help us.

I'm redoing my M.bedroom and bath. I just purchased a new chocolate comforter for my bed. I have oak flooring and a king mahogony 4 poster bed. I'm needing some help on the color in which I should paint the walls and also what color curtains to use. The comforter is different textures velvet, satin, fur with each making a 12 inch stripe down the comforter. The satin has a little gold swirl in it. That is the only color besides the chocolate. In the m.bathroom everything is white except the oak cabinets. Should I paint a chocolate accent wall? Please help?

I have a 5 acre farmette. I am looking at a 30 HP John Deere with a front loader, finish mower and snow blade. A brand new 2006 runs $22K. Should I go with a John Deere or another brand?

Also should I get the pull behind snow blade, or the one that mounts on the front loader?
