I am looking for a nice comforter that isn't too preppy, but not boyish either. I need light pastel colors and a nice design or solid color.

They're driving me nuts! I've cleared every drop of standing water from the yard ... still they come. We wear repellant, burn mosquito lanterns, etc. Just curious if this recent hot spell would affect them at all.

I thought a condo was a 2+ story highrise like and apartment, only each unit is owned by individuals. Townhomes are multi-unit homes side-by-sidy owned by individuals except they are not highrises.

I live on a lake and am tired of all the droppings! They invade the property when I am not there. We have tried firecrackers, dogs, and chasing them away but they return within a few days. I am worried that in the future they may carry 'bird flue'. I want a surefire way to keep them away.

The no-slip mat you can put down slips and I fell. :-( I bought Martha Stewart no slip pads (about 10), let them dry the time your supposed to, and they slipped off! Any solutions?

I usually keep everything running, but I'm curious if it's worth suspending anything while gone, like phone, etc.. Any pros/cons you can suggest?

MY old Kenmore drains water from the back. But the Frigidaire has no water at all. Is this normal?

This year they seem much worse than I remember. They are about 1/2 inch long and a light brown color. They seem to appear mainly around dusk, and are attracted to lights (so they find their way into the house).

It's a small device you plug into an outlet that suppossedly emits some kind of sound waves that dirves out rodents and insects. I want to know if they work, and if they are worth buying.

I definitely need my porch light on at night, but at the same time it attracts like a seemingly endless parade of moths. I would not mind it so much so if they didn't happen to fly right in the house every time I open the door. Then there in heaven because naturally lights are on all over the place in my house. Any suggestions?

I have a farm ranch style house in Suffolk county NY, and I'm considering installing a CAC system. The unit is a Ruud (similar to Reem) 13 SEER on one zone... my questions are: If you have this unit, are you happy with it? How much are your electric bills each month? Is it really cost effective to have CAC vs. in wall units? I had asked the installer (a friend) if I could have two zones... as I'm renting the upstairs to a tenant, and don't want to have the whole house cooled at all times... he said it's best just to have one zone, and that I really wouldn't be wasting money cooling all of it vs. some rooms at a time. Any advice would be appreciated.
Forgot to mention... I don't plan on staying in this house more than 6-7 years... and am worried that the cost of installing it wouldn't be worth it. I'm getting it pretty cheap ($6500), but could probably buy 4 in wall units and run them 24/7 for the next 7 years and still not hit the $6500 mark. Any advice??

I think flowers on the side of the road are prettier. Heck I even like dandelions. I'd rather have wildflowers in my vase.
