Is there anything you can do if Identity theft keeps reoccurring?

dinner set online shopping image

Joe

I have a bit of fraud on my credit reports, I keep disputing it. Calling them and setting up fraud alert,active duty alert etc I contacted federal trade commission and the local police multiple times. But it seems like nothing is stopping the fraud from keep reoccurring. Is there anything I can do? Any recommendations?

Answer
File a police report, freeze your credit with each of the three credit bureaus for $10 a year. Even so, there are lines of credit that be taken out that unfortunately do not require a credit check. Umm, I was listening to this radio program. You can set up your mail to go to a safe deposit box, a security mail box I think they're called at the post office. $99 to rent one each year, but you can have all of your mail be put in there, and then use your key to get it out. That would stop most identity theft cold, and after you do that, change all of your bank account numbers. Tell the bank you've been having trouble and ask them to give you a different account, different checkbooks, etc.

If you do a lot of shopping online, I would recommend buying the Visa Gold reloadable gift card. You just put cash on it, and use it to make online purchases without risking your bank account number.

I would also take a close look at the purchases and see if any close relatives or family members are sporting those distinctive items? Did someone buy a gold plated camera? Some jewelry? You'll need to be your own detective in this matter, and find out who the culprit is. If it happens repeatably like that it could be someone you trust.

You might call a family dinner or meeting and discuss the issue openly, including your feelings on the matter, that may put an end to it.

Need help on how to go food shopping?

shyhonney

Everytime I go to the supermarket i never seem to have enough in my house. The bill comes out high but when I get home its mainly more of juice and other non essential things. I guess I am asking what is the best way to food shop. That is one thing I have been struggling with for years. I have two girls eight and four years then its me and my husband. How can i make it last from Friday to next Friday?? Also how much should i set aside to spend each week? Thanks all.

Answer
The thing I used to do when my kids (4) were young and we were all home for dinner is to watch the shopping ads. For me the came out on Mondays. I would sit down, see whats on sale and plan out our meals. And make my shopping list from that. If something we used a lot was on sale, I stocked up. I also clipped coupons from the Sunday papers and you can find online coupons also now.
Take stock of what are essentials to you guys. What in your cupboard or fridge makes you go to the store if you're out? Make sure you have it.
Write down the meals you constantly make and have the supplies on hand. Again, stock up when items are on sale.

Find web sites like Kraftfoods.com which has great meal ideas and recipes and it will even give you a shopping list.
allrecipes.com is great too for on the go families.

Do all your heavy shopping on the same day each week or two but figure a smaller trip in between if say you run out of milk or bread.

And only use CASH at the store, that way you have to add as you go and you won't be able to pick up non essential items!!

Do you have an extra freezer? If so, great. You can stock up on meat, chicken and fish when on sale but don't forget you can freeze bread and even chips. If you don't have one, watch the classifieds and see if you can find a used one!!

And if you have a SuperWalMart you can do all your shopping in one trip for both household items and groceries. I never buy my household items, such as cleaning items in a conventional grocery store. Way too expensive.

Has anyone ever gotten crab legs from walmart frozen dinner department, if so how did they taste?

dinner set at walmart image

Anna Bella

Not seafood dept but the ones boxed in the frozen dinner dept. How did they taste? How did you cook them?

Thanks in advance!

Answer
I don't do Wal-Mart.

I assume these are the snow crab as opposed to the big spiky king crab.

The way to best cook frozen snow crab is to get a steamer pot.
Fill water to just below where the steamer is. If you don't have a steamer pot, use the widest casserole pot you have and put a metal folding steamer in there and fill water to just below that so that your food is not in water but that you have enough to not boil itself off. Google that phrase "metal folding steamer" in Google Images if you have no idea what I mean.

Then you put the lid on, set temp to high. When water boils and steam appears, turn the heat down to about MEDIUM, now add your crab legs and put the lid on as best you can.

Steam for about 7 minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat immediately, do not leave it covered for warmth because it will keep cooking the legs.

Don't overcook. It will be overcooked if the shells are flexible and don't snap.

How much should I expect to spend at Disneyland?

millertcrn

I am taking my son to Disneyland this summer. I've already figured costs for travel, the hotel stay and tickets, but am wondering if anyone who has been somewhat recently knows how much I should expect to spend in the park? My son is only 3 years old and this is the first trip for both of us. I'd like to buy a souvenir or two and we will be eating lunch and dinner at Disneyland. There will be a bunch of people in our group, but I will only be spending money on myself and my son. Any idea how much I should plan for or any money saving tips?

Answer
I'll start with the Food, there are several places in Disneyland that are a great price for Lunch and Dinner and because the meals are so big at some of these places I would share with your 3 year old, I go to Disneyland quite often and I share all my meals with my boyfriend and we both end up really full. If you really don't feel like sharing and want to get kids meals for him allot of the restaurants and counter services have a Kid's Meal and a Toddler meal depending on how much you son eats the Toddler meal is about $3.50 and the Kid's at $6.50 and they both include a drink. Honestly once you see the size of the meals at Disneyland I'm sure you will end up deciding on sharing.
My Favorite places for Lunch and Dinner are Rancho del Zocalo it is mexican food and is great portions if you were to get a meal and a drink and share with your son, because they also have refills you would spend about $10-15 for everything.
Cafe Orleans is great for lunch because even though some of there meals are about $15.00 a piece I go there and get a couple of starters for lunch like Gumbo & Pommes Frites and get a lunch for $10.00. It's an idea you can use at allot of places get a couple of starters and it is sure to fill you and your son up for lunch.
A great spot for Dinner is PCH Grill it is at Paradise Pier and is about a 10 minute walk but they have great food and great prices. Here is a great site that I've always use it has the menu's for all of the Disneyland Resort and prices this way you can look at it and decide what you think is best.

http://allears.net/dlr/din/menu/menus.htm

A money saving tip is to bring along a water bottle for you and your son so one you stay hydrated and also so you don't have to pay for drinks the whole time. If your son doesn't like to drink just water you can get a box of a flavored drink and mix it into the water.
Another thing would to bring a snack that he like's that way if you are standing in a line or take a break you can pull out a snack.
If you are a Coffee drinker you can get a reg. coffee at Blue Ribbon Bakery and if you save your receipt you can get a free refill al day that is sure to save you money.

As far as souvenirs there is and such there are a couple things you can do one is if you what an autograph book you can make one for allot cheaper then they sell them, go to Target or Walmart and get a notebook then decorate it in the characters your son like's he'll have something more personal then the books that they sell.
If you want to get a shirt there it is about $15.00-35.00 depending on the shirt your are looking for, Toys can be anything from $5.00-50.00 depending on the toy of chose, if you have your heart set on getting something from Disneyland I would plan at least $50.00 for each of .
There is a Character Warehouse about 10-15 minutes away and they have allot of stuff that Disneyland sent to them and there shirts and toys are allot cheaper you could get something for your son there and then surprise him with it mid way through and that way he still has something special to celebrate the time at Disneyland.
Also a couple of free things he may like if you are celebrating something Special make sure to go by City Hall in Disneyland and get your free button, also you can ride the Fire engine down Main Street and after they will give your son a Jr. Firefighter Sticker with Mickey on it, I am sure he would love what little boy doesn't want to be a Firefighter.

Well I hope this helped you and enjoy your trip! *Jena

24 piece dinner service sets image

CuriousAbo

I will be traveling to Dallas and Columbus in October. Can anyone recommend which areas to visit? It seems all cities have a nice area to visit for shopping or restaurants or just sightseeing. Where do you recommend seeing when in either of these cities? thank you in advance.

Answer
ATTRACTIONS IN DALLAS
Amusing, historic, educational and iconic are just a few of the words that can be used to describe the sights and attractions in Dallas. Regardless of which sights you choose to visit, you can be assured that you will find unique experiences available only in and around Dallas.

With the info above, i hope you can have a good time no matter which city you will go ~~

Does anyone else remember how to lay and set a table, what goes into a 24 piece place setting?

Fr. Al

I can recall sitting at tables laid with multiple cloths topped by linen damask, the fish knives and forks were pearl handled and did not match the rest of the service which was composed of both sterling and triple plate.
Good try! But one would never use such an elaborate setting for breakfast, and the purpose of the cloths is as much cushioning and absorption to permit conversation without the clanking of silver and crystal or unecessary care about minor spills and condensation.
A nine course meal might have as many as five different wines.
Meals have been known to go as far as up to fourteen courses, but more than five are exceptional and superfluous. In our fast food age we've forgotten how to enjoy food and good company.
A formal meal seldom has steak. Steak knives are presented with the steak, much as carving sets are presented to the host with a roast or large bird.
The setting was anything but a nightmare. And while the rule of "outside in" generally holds, only a fool would be so preoccupied with using the "right" utensil as to fail to enjoy the meal. The setting includes more than the flatware. And smaller tops the larger in the china and porcelain, with a charger (either ceramic or other) as bottom piece. The crystal is at hand, and once again follows the rule of outer to inner.
Serving from the right and removing from the left, there can be additional pieces added and removed as needed, for example escargot would be served hot and fresh from the broiler or oven in a special dish or shells on a bed of salt and a special implement to hold the hot shells, while the cocktail fork is used to eat with.
The same goes for appetizers, entremets, and fish courses served on a bed if crushed ice.
The implements (special scissors, crackers, picks, etc. and butter warmers for drawn butter on a plate or tray with lemon slice) for crab or lobster are likewise presented as and when used either as a main course or in place of a fish course.
What books would you consult, and can you work with the basics? How far do they extend? People probably know much more than they think if they take into account the courses possible. basic flatware, 5 pieces, normal desert service+2, fish +2, cocktail +1, bread and butter +1, coffee+1, iced drink (or parfait) +1= 13 pieces+/-; plates, charger, main course,fish course,salad, bread and butter,soup or bouillon,cup and saucer (demitasse & saucer optional, added or substituted)= 8 pieces+/-, crystal (out to in)white wine (hock) , claret, burgundy, (iced drink, optional), water (placed above dinner knife), flute, cordial=7 pieces +/-, this alone gives you 28 pieces+/-. The bouillon or soup may be served in bowl or cup, in which case the bread and butter is moved on sitting upward to one's immediate left hand, along with its knife, so as to be comfortably accessible, otherwise it is moved as the bouillon is cleared.
The one fork that appears on the right hand of the plates with the knives and spoons is the ice cream fork. The two desert service pieces are placed horizontally above the plates, fork below and spoon above in opposite directions the spoon handle to the right.
The ice cream fork may be either to the outside or the inside of the spoons, depending on the course for which it is used, an appetizer sorbet (some are even savoury rather than sweet) or ice cream served with cordial(s). The iced drink spoon is usually to the inside, being used for a drink accompanying the meal or a parfait served as desert.
The point of setting such an elaborate service isn't really complicated. Everything should be at hand as it is needed, with as little coming and going as possible. Attention at the meal should be to conversation and camaraderie, rather than futile search for the appropriate utensil, or making do with soiled utensils from the previous course.
Fine wines should be appreciated in appropriate stemware which enhances their unique characteristics, not pouring a new wine over the dregs of the previous.
Knife rests may be used to prevent soiling of linens when the knife is not in hand or on the plate. Likewise chopsticks and their rests may make an appearance, either as courtesy to Oriental guests, or as a distinctive touch with one or more courses. There are rice bowls with built in rests which may replace the bouillon in the setting. The point of any meal is always hospitality rather than rigidity.
With anything like this it's important to have fun!
A roll of newspaper and shaker of malt vinegar is always appropriate to fish and chips, as is a paper napkin or serviette to anything served on a bun, and a simple tortilla to frijoles with cheese and salsa. But everyone should
have at least one time in their life that they sit down to a full meal with enjoyable company. It doesn't take that much. In the west we could learn much from the Japanese practice of Chanoyu.

Answer
I am going to try; hopes this is correct, the first plate is a very small plate like a saucer that's your appetizer plate, then you have your saucer a little larger, which is your salad plate, next you have your entree plate. The first glass you have is your water glass, then you have your drinking glass for sodas, seltzers etc.. If you are setting for breakfast, you might consider a juice glass at the table, After this we add silverware, dinner fork, salad fork, and your appetizer fork; which is very small, and about only three forks or prongs, then we have soup bowl, and plate or cup, and a soup spoon, and a spoon or fork for desert which ever desert one chooses but to be correct, I would put both. After this you have your knives butter, and bread knife, and steak knife, And the covering of tables is a individual choice, although most people when using a silk or linen table clothe; will cover it for protection the other table cover, the third clothe, I believe is used in the same matter as a dust ruffle, for the bed is for showing purposes and dust. And soup is mostly always first unless theirs a appetizer but don't take my word as a fact, use as a reference. I had fun

Fun things to do with an 8 year old?

dish sets jcpenney image

Sabina

can you suggest any games or activities that we could do together?

Answer
Boy or girl? That always make alot of difference.


-Hide-and-seek.
-Get some white computer paper and some (4-5) bottles of bubbles. Drop a few drops of food coloring in each bottle (one red bottle, one blue bottle, etc.). Blow bubbles, so that they pop onto the paper. This leaves a colored circle and some cool, colorful artwork. (best for girls)
-Get four pieces of white computer paper and tape them together to make a square. Get some crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc. and make your own boardgames! You'll neeed to design it, name it, set rules, etc. When you're both finished, play them! You can use dice from another boardgame or pull numbers out of a hat to see how many spaces to move.
-Play with sidewalk chalk outside on the driveway. (better for girls)
-Play charades.
-Make a Dream Collage. Gather some child-friendly magazines, catalogs, or pictures from the internet. (JCPenney, Toy advertisements, etc.) and have them cut out everything they'd like to own, travel to, experience, etc. (If they want to visit New York, cut out a picture of Times Square. If they want to see a NFL team play, cut out the team logo. If they want a certain outfit, cut it out.) Glue everything down onto the paper. It's his/her/your choice if the pictues somewhat overlap.
-Make cookies from scratch.
-Make an "I Love You" card for the parents and/or grandparents.
-Make a "picnic lunch". Spread a blanket out on the floor and watch a movie while you eat (have popcorn as a side dish). Or, make a picnic lunch, spread a blanket out outside and eat out there.
-Play with cars and trucks and make a town using blocks. (best for boys)
-Play dolls, house/family, school, or store. (best for girls)
-Get a piece of construction paper, draw a picture using the entire paper. Cut it up into pieces then are about an inch big. Don't do straight squares, but cut it into curves, triangles, etc. Give it to her/him and let it put it back together like a puzzle. She/he can do one too and give it to you to put back together.
-Play board games.
-Ride bikes or scooters in the driveway.

Do I have to get my boyfriend a Valentine's gift, just because he got me one?

dinner set for gift image

jellybelly

I don't make much money and was going to suggest that we don't exchange gifts, but he purchased mine months ago. I would like to cook him a really nice dinner and set up a romantic evening. Do I still need to get him a gift?

Answer
You shouldn't have to, especially if you're going to make a romantic evening for him. That's gift enough..

Gifts for Valentine's Day don't have to be expensive, either - I got my boyfriend some candy in a little red heart jar, because I know he's going to surprise me with flowers. I TOLD him not to get me anything, but a)he's got it somehow lodged in his brain that even if a girl doesn't want anything for Valentine's day, she still HAS to get flowers (which is really cute, you have to admit) and b) the poor boy gets screwed in February - our anniversary, Valentine's day and my birthday all fall in a 12 day span.

It's hard to open a gift and not have anything to reciprocate with, keep that in mind. It can be a really uncomfortable feeling.

where can i find replacement pieces for House of China Dresden dinnerware set about 50 years old.?

Tina S

Answer
I know it seems simple, but be sure to do a search on E-Bay. I just found replacement sets and individual pieces for my china, which has been in the family for over 40 years. I was amazed as to how many sets were available. As of today, there are 31 listings for Dresden china on the site, but I am unsure if they match your pattern.

what is better Bone China or Corelle dinnerware?

Zima31

I know bone china is the strongest dinnerware that doesn't chip easily, and Corelle is made of Vitrelle glass that is also chip resistant. But if you had to choose which would be a better, stronger, break resistant dinnerware, which would you choose?

Answer
As a Potteries UK resident,living in the home of world famous bone china,I'd say.For better dinnerware bone china looks best on a formal setting-imagine the President or our Queen hosting a meal served on glassware.For strength,bone china has been demonstrated to support a London 'bus on four teacups.
Glass is more resistant to breakage,but chips more readily than bone china.
As a clincher a set of bone china,such as Royal Albert "Country Rose" pattern with beautiful decoration and gilding would grace any home and be a prized heirloom for generations.

Would you keep dating a guy who uses coupons everytime you go out for dinner?

dinner set for sale image

the good o

My boyfriend who uses coupons every time we go out for dinner, and it's always a place we go to where the discount is! He is a not hurting for money by no means, and is the CEO of his own company. When I want to go somewhere that doesn't involve a coupon he ignores my request. Any advice?

Answer
Well if you like everything else about him, that's not a very solid reason to just dump him. Maybe he is saving up his extra money for something, you don't know. Or maybe he's just frugal to the point of seeming cheap. I know a guy who makes six figures and still uses every coupon, hits every sale, and saves every penny he can. It's annoying, but it's his decision. If you want to go to a certain place, you pay for the night. Set an example. I am of the mind that the guy should not always pay. That's not fair.

Answer
â¢Italian Tomato Sauce
â¢This is the best you will ever have and very authentic. .

Get a sauce pan heat up some vegetable oil, (enough to cover the bottom of the pan 3/4 inch. Use an oil like Wesson Vegetable oil, (lighter and cleaner tasting than olive oil) add to that 3 - 4 cloves of smashed, pre-salted garlic. Heat that over a medium heat until the garlic is soft. Now, to the hot oil mixture, add 4 - 5 fresh basil leaves, torn . Do not allow the garlic to burn, you just want the basil and garlic to soften. Pour in 4 cans 8oz tomato sauce, any brand tomato. Turn up the heat a bit. Now take a can of WHOLE (28 oz) of San Marzano imported tomatoes, NO substitutes.(the reason you want the WHOLE tomatoes is that the pre-crushed are a lower quality, contain the scraps and or are the damaged tomatoes; therefore, not as good) First pour the juice of the San Marzano, then crush the rest of the tomatoes in a colander, by hand over the pot allowing all the pieces to be crushed, then pour that into the pot. Add a few more leaves of torn fresh basil, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, regular black pepper (no salt) Turn down the heat and let it all simmer for 25 minutes.
When done set aside, now turn off the heat, stir in three heaping tablespoons of Pecorino Romano imported grated Italian cheese, Locotelli type is best if you can find it. That contains all the salt you need, the salt and the salt in the canned tomatoes, should be enough. I never have to add any extra. .
Serve with your favorite pasta and a few spoons of fresh Ricotta cheese added at the end to make it superb. You may also add a little extra fresh ground cracked black pepper at the end if you like and or red pepper flakes (optional) if you prefer.
If you follow this exactly and use the exact ingredients, your friends and family will not think you made this unbelievable sauce. They will think you are a genius!
If you live near a Trader Joe's store I highly recommend that you purchase a bag that contains 13 frozen small precooked flame broiled meatballs. Let them simmer from frozen in the sauce for 25 minutes until warm. That is the only type I recommend . .yum . .or make your own. I don't bother to make my own anymore, I can't make them better nor cheaper than the ones from Trader Joes.
If you can't find The San Marzano tomatoes where you live, they are available to purchase on the internet. Keep in mind, these are a type of canned tomatoes from a special area of Italy, many companies import into America a San Marzano tomato. First ask your grocery store manager. The next important ingredient is the Romano Cheese, Locotelli is best if you can find it if not you can purchase it from the net as well. The Tomatoes sauce any domestic brand is just fine, I use what ever is on sale, I tried them all which ever one, Del Monte, Hunts, Contadina, even the store brand. whatever you can find. Regular salt type, not the low salt. If I have a choice and the price is right, I prefer Contadina, they are a tiny bit sweeter. .
I am serving it with some store bought homemade style fresh pasta and the Trader Joe's Meatballs

Some Questions:
How long is the travel time from Cape Town to:

-Boulderâs Beach
-Hout Bay
-Camps Bay

What is the best way to travel between these places? By taxi? Car service?

Which one is better for Day 4, choice a or b?

Is the Gold of Africa Museum in Cape Town good? Should we tour Schwartz Jewellers in Sandton (Johannesburg) instead? Both?

Is it true that Malaria is a cause for concern when visiting Kruger? Are malaria pills advisable?

Should we join a tour to go to Soweto and the Apartheid Museum? Canât we go there ourselves?

How long is the travel time from Johannesburg to the Cradle of Humankind? Will we still have room to visit other things afterwards?

Is my itinerary too hectic? Iâm traveling with parents who hate roadtrips and younger siblings who get tired easily.

Are the places weâre visiting okay? Are we missing anything more important?

Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Day 11
Schwartz Jewellers
Elephant Sanctuary

One more question:
Should I spend more time in Cape Town? Less in Kruger? Less in Johannesburg?

Answer
I have some recommendations:
Day1: If you are lunching in Greenmarket Square and you are interested in history, go to the Old Townhouse. There is a little courtyard where you sit and eat. It is also home to a very fine Dutch art exhibition. http://www.iziko.org.za/museums/michaelis-collection-at-the-old-town-house

If you do not already have plans for dinner, look at &Union on Heritage square (no reservations accepted). They have the best beers in town (and also very good food!). &Union is also situated in a church built in 1801 and has a lot of interesting history. http://www.andunion.com/where/StStephens/index.html

Day 4: Make it: breakfast at Camps Bay (early breakfast!) then take Chapman's peak drive to Hout Baai. There is a lot of great little shops in that town and you can easily spend a day there, so just skip Cape Point, it's not that great. Remember to visit the pier at Hout Baai, you might want to lunch there as well. On this night, or any night you can, if you get back to town before sundown, drive up Signal Hill and have a picnic up there while you watch the sun set over the ocean. They view is amazing! Take a blanket, bottle of wine and snacks if you want. Don't go too late because the sun goes quick once it's started and you'll want to leave as soon as it gets dark, along with all the other tourists.

Travel time from Cape Town to:
-Stellenbosch - 45 minutes
-Cape Point - 45 minutes
-Boulderâs Beach - not sure
-Hout Bay - 40 minutes
-Camps Bay - 5 minutes, it's just over the hill

If you haven't seen a township yet it would be great for you to do such a tour! But I can't imagine canceling any of these awesome days. I would maybe cancel Day 5 as you are already going to get all the safari you need in the Kruger.

The gold museum is nice, but if you are interested in museums in general and not necessarily jewellery, the Castle of Good Hope is by far the best. There is a little restaurant inside and free guided tours every hour. They also have a little 'ceremony of the key' every day at midday.

I think the amount of days you are spending at each place is absolutely perfect. Your schedule might turn out a bit hectic, but I'd say rather over plan and then drop one activity on the day if you need to. Even though there are even more to see in Cape Town, you can't choose better than you have and you can't pack more into this one visit.

btw, I have never needed to take malaria tablets for the Kruger!
Enjoy!

Will paper napkins look cheap with real dinnerware?

cheap white dinnerware sets image

Sstar02

I'm getting married on December 26th and our colors are red and white. We're renting dinner plates, glasses, and flatware.. but we're on a tight budget and can't afford to have the real linens, also.

I planned on having the plates (which will be white with a silver trim) and glasses set out already on each table, then on each plate having a red paper napkin. On top of the napkin, will be a candy cane with a red ribbon tied around it attaching a tag with the name on it.
Candy cane idea here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cloudnineweddingstore.com/images/christmas%2520setting.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cloudnineweddingstore.com/webcontent15.htm&usg=__idSz2fKL745w9q2eqCO41wNkZ3g=&h=1152&w=864&sz=147&hl=en&start=15&um=1&tbnid=BxBwT87my3tzwM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=112&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchristmas%2Bwedding%2Bcandy%2Bcane%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1

But I'm afraid the paper napkins may look cheap, what do you think?

Also, what color table cloths should I use? Red or white?
I checked with the rental company on the linens, we just simply can't afford them. No way, no how :(

Answer
Use paper napkins, they're made for wiping food from your face, you don't need to be so classy with something like that

where can i look to get an age on some antique dinnerware?

buy dinnerware sets online image

T

i have a dinner set that appears to be very old. there are no marks/stamps on any of the pieces matching what i find on searches. on some plates there is a 6 and that's it. i need ideas on where/what to search to get an idea of how old this stuff is.

Answer
I would ask the Community at "I Antique Online" http://www.iantiqueonline.com
They have over 1750 members who buy, sell or collect antiques and art. You will get more specialized feedback this way.

How much money would you need to have saved up for this?

Q. I want to move to Tennessee. I now live in Ohio. And i would rent a house or an apartment. I know i need to have enough money for a deposit and first month's and everything like that. and i would be starting from scratch. the only furniture and stuff that i would have would be bedroom furniture. how much would i need to save to do this? any advice?

Answer
This depends on so many factors. First, start looking online for places. Find one within your price range, and see what it has. How many beds, baths, and square footage. Start bargain hunting for furniture, but only buy the necessities at full price right now. You all ready have a bed set, so get things like cookware and dinnerware, a shower curtain, towels if you need them, and a plunger might be a good idea too. if you find a cheap couch at a low price, by all means go for it! Just don't focus on it just yet.

Once you have your place lined up, start looking for jobs IMMEDIATELY. Add "available to start" a week or so after you plan on being there, and if you get any calls for an interview, inform them of your situation and schedule it for as soon as possible after arriving in town. Now here's what you'll need to have money for at this point: groceries, gas for the trip, food for the trip, a rental truck if you have large furniture to move, enough extra to live from for at least a month in case you don't find a job right away, and emergency funds in case of accident or injury.

I need an online place where I can buy ingredients for fondue?

dinner set buy online image

***Stardus

I am planning a romantic fondue dinner for my boyfriend and me on valentines day. I am planning on buying those ceramic fondue sets that use a tea candle. The idea seems more simple. But I was thinking that the ingredients for the fondue might be cheaper online, I want cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. If anyone knows of a good online store that's sales this at a good price I will really appreciate it.

Answer
Your ingredients would be more expensive online. You are talking cheese, garlic, white wine, flour, all things you can get at your grocery.

How can I search for a door to walk out of my garage through? A door for people, not the roll-up door for car

bostontran

All the doors I see online, Home Depot are fancy. I am looking
for wood but with metal covering to protect against the elements.
I also want it to open out, not in.
I live in the Los Angeles are. Thank you.

Answer
Just go to Home depot or Lowes.....should be able to find a 3' x6'8" 13/8 for 100.00 to 130....You need the wall thickness which should be 49/16 or 69/16" in other words for a 2x4 wall or a 2x6 wall get one with a predrilled dead bolt hole also ..so that you are safe at night. Just cut a hole in the wall and a little framing and shove the door in the hole.....nail and caulk for weather........go inside shim and nail jamb to fir door. Put in the two lock sets......kick back and have a tall one tell the old lady you just worked yourself almost to death and she should buy dinner........hope it works.........mine is starting to catch on.......it's taken a lot of years though.:) good luck.

What is a really good murder mystery party set for teens?

Phillip

I would like to have a murder mystery party with me and about 7 other people. Does anyone know a good one to use? The age group is 13-15.

Answer
There are teen versions of mysteries available here (if you're worried about appropriate mysteries):
http://www.nightofmystery.com/shop/category/mysteries/clean/

Although, I've been part of The Champagne Murders several times (as different characters) and there's nothing explicit in it, so it would be appropriate, and we had a great time:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Champagne-Murders-Mystery-Dinner/dp/B0000AC980

Alternatively, if you're up for a challenge, I'd recommend writing your own mystery. The best murder mystery parties have always been, in my opinion, the ones that have been written with the guests in mind. You know your guests better than a downloaded mystery, so you have the power to create characters for them that are practically their doubles, or world away. Enjoy!

Did you register? If so at which places? And for what types of things?

cheap denby dinnerware sets image

Mommy of 2

My grandmother is from the depression era so for her things need not be any more then what s absolutely esscential. My fiance and I have lived together for over a year now, but we have held off on buying anything decent that we actually wanted because we have been planning our wedding and knew we'd have a shower with the oppertunity to get what we want. I got very cheap boring dishes from a discount store same with flat ware. I have cheap pots and pans and almost no kitchen gadgets or accessories. Also I have little to no home decor aside from pictures. I registered at Pottery Barn and WIlliams-Sonoma. Obviously the Pottery Barn stuff is my dishes, flatware, glasses, home decor ect. And then Williams is kistchenish stuff. I feel like since we technically have enough to get by and I am having at least 1 shower then everything I register for should be an upgrade right? Like I have liveable dishes but I am registered for nicer ones, still or everyday but nice everyday (i didnt register for formal dinnerware) things like that though. How about you? And do you have anything rediculous on your registry that you secretly pray someone buys you even though you know some people think it is rediculous? I have really nice insanely heavy measuring cups and spoons from Williams-Sonoma that are like $30. I really want them and dont actually think anyone will by them, and my mom was disgusted that I registered or them LOL. Ill buy them myself if no one else does.

Answer
We registered at The Bay (HBC), even though our wedding isn't until 2010. Our families wanted us to register early so we can start collecting stuff.
The stuff we registered for is dishes mainly so far, and some kitchen gadgets, a raclette, toaster oven, and indoor grill. We haven't decided on stemware or flatware yet, or any linens.
Our stuff is quite expensive. Our dishes are Denby White Squares, a 5-piece place setting costs around $180. The salt and pepper shakers were $65, and somebody gave those to me as a birthday gift already.

Many people go shopping with a budget in mind and find something at that cost, regardless of whether or not it's a good deal. I'm sure someone might get you the measuring cups, and I don't know why your mom was disgusted, since most people live on their own before they get married, the gifts they get are often an upgrade to what they have already.

The point is that you register for what you like, and of course you aren't expecting any of it, it's just a suggestion to those who would like to buy you a gift.

/going to check out those measuring cups now...

rajesh

We will be celebrating our first anniversary in Chennai. I am new to the place. Can someone guide me with the best place to have candlelight dinner. Also any other suggestions to make our evening romantic & rememberable?
All suggestions are most welcome
Thanks

Answer
I found this description of one restaurant that sounded nice:

the atmosphere at kayal cannot be described in words or captured on camera. located on 3rd floor and overlooking the swimming pool and fountain. framed by glass it gives you an open dining feel with beautiful views. the candle on the table sets the mood for a romantic evening. the lobster pot kept at the very entrance catches the eye.beautiful paintings with yachts and ocean as the backdrop give vivid hues. a fine collestion of spirits is kept neatly arranged adding its own glow of varied hued spirits which sparkle in the eveing ambience.

shrimp soup lobster soup coriander prawns lobster thermidor fish of varied types can be cooked to order. the live cooking experience can be had at the open kitchen. the service is easy paced and if you are in no hurry you can savour the dinner course by course.

What Do You Get For Free On An International Flight?

ButterFly

well i am going to india from canda and theres a 8 hour stay at london. I want to know what most people bring in a purse when on a long flight? Is lotion, mints, gum, combs, makeup, etc.. allowed?? And what do economy classes give on the plane for free? please help! and will i get a tv on my economy class during the international flight?

Answer
In long flights like yours they usually give soft drinks, juice, breakfast/lunch/dinner, depending on your flight departure hour. There is a TV set every 3 or 4 rows of seats and you can either take your small earphones or buy some in the plane to hear music or the films.
Be very careful with what you bring with you as hand luggage; a new regulation has been passed (the date is Nov 6th) about what travellers can carry as hand lugagge anywhere around Europe and it´s VERY RESTRICTIVE!!! Liquids are restricted to 100 mililitres per bottle/container carried in a plastic bag which cannot be bigger than 1 litre capacity. The bag can be opened for checking at security point. Medicines must be carried the same way and with the doctor´s prescription. Baby food and products bought in the duty-free shops will be allowed when carried sealed in that way. Coats and jackets will be scanned too. And any electronic tool (computers, ipods, etc) must be taken out from their bags or suitcases to be scanned apart too.
So if you don´t want to have problems in London (as you are taking a connecting flight from a European airport), put your make-up creams and lotions inside your lugagge and just take as hand lugagge your purse, passport, tickets, a magazice/newspaper and not much more. You will avoid problems.

I love this australia was a Colony of the Greatest empire the world has ever seen

and Look at us today compared with the OK

http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/australians-set-for-developed-world-s-big-pay-rise.html Oh how the Mighty has Fallen

Edit 4 thumbs down silly people where is the UK in the worlds Rankings Germany is Richer

Israel has Better Military Germany owns RR Bentley Name One Car company outside Morgan owned By the British the Triumph motorcycle one of the worlds best owned By the Canadians

there is Nothing that i can think of that the UK produces that is Not made as Good or better and Cheaper

and I enjoy going out for Dinner Roast pork 4 veggies for 7 pound a cup of Coffee alone in the UK is 3 pounds well it was last Month and the Australian dollar is worth more that the US Dollar Petrol is cheaper in AU and My British pension of 24.20 pounds a week does Just about buy a 3 course meal in London I took my sister and her partner out to dinner 3 meals Pudding and 6 beers 65 pounds a weeks Pension in the UK

My pension in Australia 23,358 Australian dollars Higher than some Fill time employment wages in the UK

so you can keep Giving thumbs down but it wont hide the Truth

a loyal subject who left before the rats from a terminal ill sinking ship

end of edit

For GB that is Simple Once the RN was reduced in Size in 1972 and the USN was expanded to take up the slack making the US the superpower it desperately needed

the UK has faded away into Oblivion in 1972 they had the worlds Largest Blue water Navy and today they don't even own an Aircraft carrier

Like all empires they all fade Away

When i was in Malaysia in 1964 we still had a Great empire and needed the RN to protect it places Like Canada Australia and NZ after about 1886 no longer needed our protection then after the act of Westminster 1931 to give those members of the empire More Autonomy they decided how Much protection they needed

which was very little well Look at Australia WW2 the USA and the UK Both Said we will defend Australia but when the Time came for Defence the Only people Helping was Australia was the RAF and the Australian Militia

Not Only proving that the USA and the UK never cared but that they Both could NOT help

so with the Empire defending its self the RN was no longer needed as a Great Military power i watched it dissolve very disappointing But as i said all Empires fade away

I am Still proud of My Loyal service In the RAF but sad to see it is only like the Rest of the UK a shadow of its former self never to be resurrected

Not without Leaving the Blood suckers In the EU
