How much do you hate Heelys?

March29

Ok, this question was inspired by a previous one. I am so sick of being ran over by kids in the grocery store and the mall that are wearing Heelys. They seem like a fun thing for kids to play with outdoors. Does anyone else think they should be banned from the store?

Duplex – shared dryer vent – how to divert?

March27

I have a duplex where each unit’s clothes dryer backs up to each other and vents in the same pipe leading to the outside. However, when one dryer is on, it vents directly into the other units dryer – does someone know of a diverter made for such a situation that would send the dryers output up the pipe and to the outdoors? The local hardware store has never heard of such a thing.
Thanks,
Jack

Outdoor furniture question?

March25

I’m looking for outdoor furniture for the patio and have found a set that I really like and is reasonably priced. It is made of kiln-dried hardwood, not teak, so I am wondering how bad it is to leave some of it outdoors over the winter. We live in CT so winters can be bad here. While I will probably be able to store some of it indoors, I’m just not sure if we have room to move everything indoors for the winter. I would obviously cover everything with furniture covers if left outdoors, but it would likely sit in some snow at some point. Will it be destroyed? I’m going to look for other options if you all think it’s a bad idea. Thanks in advance for your advice!
I would take it inside as I know that would extend the life of it, unfortunately, that just isn’t an option for me…we just don’t have room for it. We are trying to build a shed for some of it but the town is giving us grief…that’s a whole other story though…so I’m not counting on that as a storage space as of now.

Has any one ever been to the Bass Pro Shops?

March23

Excellent for campers and fishers or for anyone who enjoys the outdoors! Took a look around at the new store here in New England. I dont like fishing or anything but I was impressed by the new store.

Dream Interp? – I was being hunted down by a man with no skin. Apparently b/c I stole bananas from his store..?

March21

I suppose this sort of counts as a nightmare. But when I woke up it was ridiculous. Can you guys help suggest what this might all mean? Sorry if it’s terribly long, and if it sounds like nonsense.

So basically I was being chased and hunted down by a man (male, I don’t think it was female) with no skin. I didn’t really see him clearly in the dream but he was following me around going after me and I was trying to get away. It wasn’t like a typical chase scene either. It was more like he was trailing me. So I was extremely scared and I decided to find a populated place to hide so it would be less likely that he would have the chance to do anything to me (I have the same instinct in real life as well, if I feel that some road or area is unpopulated or shady looking, I try to avoid it especially in the evening)

I ended up going into a movie theatre with people in it (although I don’t think there actually was a movie playing, just a white screen from what I remember, although we all watched the “movie” anyway. And i felt safer there because it was dark and I was amongst a lot of other people so I was glad that I would not be spotted so easily.

Then I had a dream flashback that explained why the guy was chasing me. He and his parents /family owned a grocery/market/chain store and I used to steal bunches of bananas from them and he secretly saw me eating them at the doorstep at the back exit. So he was out to get me. (Note: I have never stolen any bananas or fruits or anything in RL. just saying.)

And then, the scene changes and I’m going up a grimy flight of stairs leading directly up. It was dark and dimly lit (but still seeable, I suppose there was some lighting. It just looked all dull and slimy) Stone walls and an omnious wooden door at the top of the stairs. There was a frog (or a toad, I cannot remember) on one of the steps and I fed it some food but this tramp came and stole the food. I gave him an accusing glare but he was intimidating so I continued up the stairs. He started following me. Once I got past the door, I ended up in a sort of elite club/bar (I don’t go clubbing, I don’t go to bars) with people in it and all was normal except the guy was following me (he had scraggly long matted hair and a raggedy shawl kinda). At the back of the bar there was another door to the left and I automatically went to it and knocked. A tall lady that looked a great deal like Monica Bellucci (wearing a long, simple but elegant green dress) answered and said hi and I stepped in. She was about to let the scraggly man in but asked me if I brought anyone with me. I said no, and she closed the door on him.

Inside, there were more people but it was VIP room-esque and that lady just now apparently had a sister or twin who had her hair the same way (tied up in a high bun) and same clothes except white. She said something I can’t remember what.

Then I was in a large, spacious presentation hall with a huuuuuug e screen/powepoint thing going on and it was dark once again (a bit like the movie theatre i went to earlier). and there were two large tables and i was on one “Team”. One of my RL classmates handed me a PSP saying “hey, look what the other team got for bonus payment at their summer internship!” and I felt jealous. (I’m going into senior year. Everyone’s doing internships and I suppose we’re all competing to see who has the better “get” out of their summer. ugh).

Finally that dark spacious room transforms into a dark outdoors place in the middle of nowhere. Like a mountainside/cliffside and we were all trekking somewhere in twilight (the time of the day) or something.

Finally, I was transported back to a hallway in school (it was like a inside bridge between two different buildings) and everything was white. we were all crossing it (me and my classmates)
Yikes I put it in the wrong category, I’m sorry! I was in the dream interp when i clicked post but I don’t know why it’s in society and culture…

How much does a Guinea Pig Cost at a Pet Store? Are the Guinea Pigs Healthy When You Get Them From A PetStore?

March19

I’ve decided that I’m actually going to get 10 guinea pigs but I do have a lot of questions. 1) How much does a guinea pig cost at a pet store. 2) Are the guinea pigs healthy when you get them from a pet store? I have some care sheets that I printed off of the computer about guinea pigs and they all said that guinea pigs can live free range but they need litter boxes if they’re going to live free range. My third question is): can guinea pigs sleep in dog beds? Just curious about that one because I’ve seen a couple of guinea pigs sleep in dog beds. My fourth question is): what kind of fruits and vegetables can guinea pigs eat? 5) how often do guinea pigs use the litter boxes that they have? 6) do guinea pigs enjoy being cuddled with? 7) do guinea pigs enjoy being petted? 8) can guinea pigs eat grass that comes from outdoors? 9) what brand of food should I feed my guinea pigs?

Is the glovebox of my car too hot to store my medications?

March17

For convenience, I recently started putting some of my medications in my cars glovebox and kept most of the same medications inside also, as many of the them require two to three times a day administration and application. None of these over the counter and prescription medications impair my ability to drive, so please don’t tamper off the question itself at all.

The creams seem indicate that they’d like to stay stored below 25 c (77 f), and the tablets seem to indicate that they wouldn’t mind a bit of extra heat and to keep stored at below 30 c (86 f). As I don’t have a thermometer, I’m wondering if this is suitable, or if it would affect my topical and systemic medications negatively in some way?

I also have a tube of sunscreen among them, not sure what it says, but it should take some heat as it is made for sun exposure, correct?

The car is a large silver sedan, I virtually always have it parked outdoors in a car park or outside my house, usually in the sun, as it is summer where I live now. When I get in the car during the day, it is usually heated pretty darn bad, requiring the windows to be opened promptly but I’m not sure if the glovebox is less heated, or if the whole heat thing at this intensity is really all it is cracked up to be.

If it turns out that I should not store them in my glovebox, would storing them in the boot of my car (or in between the seats) and zip them up inside one of those insulated lunch boxes be sufficient?

Thank you for any help :)

Logo for a new vintage clothing store?

March15

My name is Zach Sewell and I own a start-up company called Sewell Company. It features quality clothes much like that of abercrombie.

What are some ideas that you have of a logo for a vintage clothing store?

Abercrombie has the moose
Hollister Co. has the seagull
American Eagle has the eagle
Ruehl No. 925 has the scottish dog

Any ideas?

The store features a very dim-lit at home, warm atmosphere.

The website is currently under-construction and has nothing in it to buy yet, but you can visit it to get the “feel” for the in-store experience. The name of the store will change soon to Sewell Company instead of Sewell No. 24

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

I have one leopard gecko who eats crickets. Can you give me guidance?

March13

Is it feasible to mail order crickets and have them sustainable outdoors in a “cricket bin.” for just one gecko? If it’s feasible, please give me some details about raising crickets. Or maybe I should continue my weekly trek to the pet store?
