    If your fiancee had a non-american sounding name, would u take his name upon

    I read only your question and first sentence. I know someone who is about to marry a man. He insists that she NOT take his name because through is life and experience, he is often judged by his last name. He has been discriminated against and so has his family. Now, these are good hard...

    Is it possible to paint ceramic tiles successfully without signs of wear and peeling?

    I have this perfectly tiled shower. Impeccable installation. Perfect grout. Perfect caulking where needed. Looks like new. Nothing wrong with it, whatsoever. Except---it is light pink, an ugly dusty rose light pink. UGH!! I am willing to do whatever it takes to do this job once and do it...

    Equally divided checks or separate checks while dining out with a crowd?

    How many of you dine with others and are tired of being taken financially advantage of when the check comes and you end up paying way more than your fair share?? It happen to us again this weekend and we are sick and tired of paying for other people's appetizers, expensive bottles of wine...

    Is it weird that my 21 year old brother has a cb radio in his Honda? hmm i wonder why...

    What your brother is doing is no different than what we are doing right now, at this moment. We are communicating with complete strangers, right? At least with a CB you have a pretty good idea that you are actually talking to a male or a female. Communicating with a voice instead of the...

    Spray painting furniture indoors-smarter than painting it?

    Leave the dresser alone until it dries. If you try to "blot the whole thing" you will do nothing but cause a huge mess and ruin the finish. So, it is best to leave it alone. To speed up drying, you may want to use a fan to circulate the air. Be patient. Painting furniture is alot better than...

    Spray paint and primer?

    Plywood is rough and porous. You will need to prime the plywood first in order to prepare the plywood to accept the silver paint. If you do not prime the plywood, the silver paint will absorb into the plywood, leaving a patchy paint job of uneven color. You would be wise to roll or paint on...

    Is a 16' bicycle big enough for a 4 year old?

    How on earth are we supposed to know how long your son's legs are?? Take that boy to Toys R Us or another store that has bicycles on display and have him sit on a few to see which size is right for him. This is a no brainer. Would you ask us what size shoes to get him?? Of course not...

    Is the Eames Lounge Chairs comfortable?

    Last year Eames chair designs were on a book of postage stamps I purchased. I, too, wondered if those designs could possibly be comfortable. Fear not, pillows can soften even the most uncomfortable chairs. However, it is said that Eames designs are ergonomically correct and quite the...

    We need to paint our faux wood blinds from white to match our walls. What type

    You would have to have the patience of a saint to use a small paint brush to paint all those wooden slats in your window blinds. My goodness. How would you keep the slats from hitting one another while they were drying?? Perhaps it would be better if you installed the blind on a tree branch...
