Answer
I made my own by buying round vinyl table cloths, cut with scissors to the center and make a hole for the umbrella. then use Velcro to re-attach it. The Velcro is at sewing supply stores and has a sticky back. Works great!

How to make an outdoor table and chairs?

Answerer

Okay well my Mum bought a cheap set of outdoor table + chairs for half price.. but it was glass and after a week it smashed from the umbrella being in it even though it was supposed to last well.. luckily she was able to get her money back but the sale is not on anymore so all the table settings are really expensive.. my mum was really happy to have somewhere nice and comfy to sit as she'd been wanting an outdoor table + chairs for years. So I thought I could build her a wooden set for christmas.. I have no building experience but my Dad said he'd help me and we can do it at his house.. he has built a barbecue table before but said he doesn't really know how to make the individual chairs and that.
Does anyone have any tips? Suggestions?
I was thinking something like this: (second picture) http://outdoor-furniture.luxury-ideas.com/category/outdoor-furniture-design/
Just something basic (without the cushions) Do you think it'd be simple enough?

Answer
I think that if you don't have any building experience you are way out of your league. you need so many different tools to do something like that and unless you make a table a week then they will not pay for themselves. The easiest thing to build is a swing for two. Its allot cheaper to. You don't have to build it out of cedar you can use treated wood or reg wood if you stain it. www.cedarfurnitureoutlet.biz/swings_âcatalog.htm

Approx. how much would it cost to hire a carpenter to build an unfinished dining room table, bench and chairs?

Vida B.

Altogether, 6 pieces. Table, bench, 4 chairs.

A smaller version of this: http://www.eco-furniture.com/im/3250/shinbutsu-dining-4.jpg

This set normally costs about $3,500, so of course I'm looking to spend less than that if possible.
Ack! Thanks for the answer so far, it's looking like I should just go ahead and buy the set instead!

Answer
I would charge no less than $5,000, more depending on what type wood you wanted. I can't compete with China.

Q. I do not know what to do and I am really boored

Answer
I am never bored. When I was 15 or 16 years old, I participated in 55 different activities and sports outside of high school. My activities back then ranged from playing chess with international chess players like Bobby Fisher and Larry Evans (25 tables played each of them at the same time) to fly fishing for brook trout in remote lakes and rivers to walking through the thick bush hunting grouse with my grandfather's shotgun, snowshoeing in the winter, high diving, tent camping in the winter, taking long canoe trips, whale watching for free near Tadoussac, Quebec, doing drafting drawings on my own drafting table, learning another language. Today, I still keep my mind and body active. In the last 25 years, I have traveled to 17 different countries. Even though I'm 65 now, I just completed a critical report on two web sites I was complaining about. The report was 16 pages long in size 11 font. I have been referenced in a British newspaper for a legal matter I was involved in, the same matter was also picked up by newspapers in Houston, Texas and Orlando, Florida. I was offered a teaching position to (teach a particular law course in a college) even though I had to write supplementary exams to squeak through in my last year of high school and even though I have never attended a university or college. After failing my last year of high school I did not give up and say to myself "what will I do with the rest of my life all my friends have gone on to attend university - oh, woe is me?". No, on the contrary, I just kept going. I have played my guitar on two different vinyl albums and played live to 900 people. I feel young, I accomplish a lot during my busy day. I always look on the "bright side of life". I have been interviewed live on TV and on the radio.I have, all alone, sailed a small sailboat by from a town in Ontario Canada to a town in New York State. I flew alone to Bermuda (a country I had never been to in my life) and I was paid in advance to follow a couple around the island for four days with a 1,000 mm zoom lens when I was a private investigator. There are all kinds of things to do with your time. We all have gifts and abilities. What are yours? Go out and perfect one or two of those gifts...do not sit at home and be bored. Take a course in spelling and learn the correct spelling of the word is not boored.

What is daily life like in New Zealand?

Sophia Mar

I am really interested in the idea of moving to New Zealand.I am wondering what daily life is like there?I am from Staten Island(New York City)so I am used to always having something to do.Will this be different in New Zealand?Will it be a big culture shock for me?Also,are American brands/items sold in New Zealand?

Answer
I immigrated to Auckland from the States so I have experience with the change in culture. I grew up in Boston and then lived a couple years in DC so I can compare city life in the US to city-life here. I never experienced any culture-shock and I don't know of any Americans who did. It seems to be tougher for the British immigrants I know to adjust.

Moving from most parts of NYC to NZ would be a major change, but Staten Island is not that different in density and population from Auckland. Auckland has 1.4 million people spread out over a large area. It has all the stuff you'd find in the US to do. There are malls everywhere, movie theatres, clubs and pubs, nice cafes and restaurants etc. On the surface it will seem just like the US. But here are the biggest changes you'll probably begin to notice within a a few weeks of living here:

Malls and other shops close very early, like 5 or 6PM, even on a Saturday. There are no family chain restaurants like Uno's, Bertucci's etc. that you find all over in the US. Restaurants are very expensive, in fact food in general is much more expensive than in the US and the portions will be half the size. People don't dress up unless it is a special occassion. It is perfectly acceptable to be barefoot in public places. If you arrive in winter you might think the kids you see barefoot at the supermarket or mall on a cold rainy day are poor; they aren't. They all have shoes, they just don't wear them. Kids are allowed to go barefoot to elementary school and adults regularly walk around shoeless as well and this is not seen as redneck or strange at all. At most cafes and less fancy restaurants you are expected to order and pay up front first. Service is very slow by US standards but no one rushes you to move on and free up the table. You do not tip anyone in NZ, not waiters, not taxis.

As far as things to do goes, that won't be an issue. Kiwis do go to bed early and shut the shops early but there are plenty of evening activities. I go to pub quizzes a couple nights a week. Drinking during the work-week is much more acceptable here. Most work-places have friday night drinks often right in the office. I'm a teacher and still can't believe our staffroom here has a fridge dedicated to booze for friday afternoons.

Everyone in NZ gets 4-weeks paid holiday by law, so there is much more holiday culture. There are lots of beach-side camp-grounds with rows of little cabins where families go for a week or two every summer. Most of the city shuts down from late December to start of Feb while everyone takes a vacation. It's all part of the more laid-back way of life.

If you move to a rural NZ town there would be some serious culture shock I'm sure, but no different to the shock you'd have moving to a small town in upstate NY. Wellington supposedly has more culture than other cities in NZ but the weather there is awful. Honestly it makes Seattle look good. It does have a real San Fran vibe to it but it is much smaller than what your used to.

Women of GS what is your dream vacation?

Astro

Where would you love to go? If you've already been on your dream vacation where was it and what did you do?

Thank you for answering. :)
Emo man and White man I never read your comments, I always give them a thumbs down once I see your avatar (which is always the first thing I see), so don't even bother next time.

Answer
Camping in New Zealand. I'm not normal a very active or outdoorsy person, but I guess that's why it'd be a novelty and an exciting trip. It seems like every time I see a visually stunning film, that's where it was shot (Lord of the Rings, Narnia, etc.). I just have to see it. Plus, NZ has no natural predators. No bears, coyotes, poisonous snakes/insects, etc. The most you'd have to worry about while camping would be birds nicking your cameras. All of those waterfalls, forests, mountains, volcanoes... I'd love to just put up a big tent and a clothesline, make a fire pit, set out a table, and just forget about the modern world for a good 2 weeks. Heaven.

Second best vacation: Christmas in St. Petersburg, Russia (which is actually on January 7th because of their Orthodox calendar, so you'd still get to be with your family for "real" Christmas). I've heard it's stunning. Cold lol, but stunning. And really, who doesn't want cold & snow on Christmas?

Third option (just for fun haha): historic tour of Washington, D.C. I'd love to see the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court, the Smithsonian Museums, the Lincoln Memorial, etc. And of course try out one of their many famous pubs ;)

Where to eat after a beach wedding in St. Pete or Tampa Florida area?

jennibean

We are planning a small (6 people) beach wedding. We don't really want to do anything big and we are looking for a restaurant to eat at after wards instead of having a reception. We just aren't sure where to have it. The wedding will be at St. Pete beach so any recommendations would be great. If they happen to have a "banquet" style (just a large table section tucked away) room even better.

Answer
The Don Cesar Beach Resort has a wonderful restaurant. This place is famous, beautiful and right on the beach. It's perfect.

Anyone have a review of Paradise Cove Campground at Lake Isabella, CA?

Ryan Corsa

Can't find any on the internet and we're trying to book a last minute camping spot.

Answer
PARADISE COVE CAMPGROUND
Located on south shore of Lake Isabella off Highway 178. Paved road; 58 family units and 80 RV sites; No limit on Trailer length; Restrooms-2 flush type, 1 with metered showers, and chemical toilets; Water; Fire rings, tables and grills; RV dump station, $8; Fish cleaning station. Open year round. Supplies at Mtn. Mesa. $20.00 per night. Sites 59-138, $14.00 per night, $5.00 for each additional vehicle, Dry and dusty but good in location very close to the boat launch, occasional bear issues so keep the food and poodle locked in at night. bring your own shade and a way to tie it down the afternoon winds kick up pretty good at times. Not my top choice because of the lack of shade and the primary wind direction makes it's beaches take the worst of it I prefer the west shore campgrounds or camping on the river above or below the lake. My top choice is Hobo south of the lake.

camping grounds in southern california by water?

Vahe

I want to go camping with like 10 people, I need a place by water that's swimmable(clean) like a clean lake or something and I'd prefer if they had restrooms, or just toilets, but it's cool if it doesn't, somewhere maybe by los angeles, not too close to nevada or mexico, any Ideas would be much appreciated, oh and a place where I wouldn't need a permit.
I did say southern california, lake Tahoe is way to far.

Answer
Well all your beaches are out, all of southern california's beaches unless they have a campground are closed to overnight camping. All of southern California's beach campgrounds are reservable anywhere from 7 months to a year in advance and were booked for the summer that long ago.

Your popular lake destinations like Big bear, Silver wood, Castaic, lake perris are under the same conditions booked 7 months ago. However they may have a week day spot.

Now you open up some opportunity by camping in dispersed area's where you won't need a permit accept to build a fire. However your group is on the big side. So you want water that is swim-able and toilets there is only one destination I can think of and it pushes your southern california request to the limit. For you I recommend the kern river north of lake isabella at one of the many dispersed campsites along the river they are free some sites have portable toilets fire rings and picnic tables. to get one go midweek Mon- thur they will be filled up by thursday night. Good luck!

Does this beach exist?

KD

I've been having a recurring dream about a beach. It feels very familiar to me, but I've only been to the beach once, and the beach I went to was not the beach in my dream. But anyways, some details:
The water is not wide. When you stand on one sandy beach you can clearly see a beach on the other side.
I don't believe it is a lake, because there were ocean creatures in the water/washing up on the beach with the waves.
There is a very large parking lot/parking garage, with huge round pillars (looked to be metal) painted blue and supporting a building located right before the start of the sand.
There is a large ramp that you can walk up to reach rentable rooms where you can stay overnight. These rooms are in the building over the parking lot. It wasn't a beach house or pay before you go kind of thing. You could just walk up and rent a room if they weren't all full.
There were a few small pools full of the water from the sea/ocean with small marine life in them (starfish, etc.) that the little kids could swim in if they were afraid of the water.
There was a cafe with a floor less room attached where you could sit at tables and have the seawater come in with the waves and wash over your feet, (sometimes bringing marine life like shells, crabs, and starfish in with it).
There is a giant curvy bridge that goes over the water.
It was very busy, but I recall someone saying it was only busy on certain days of the year (one being the day we went there).
It did not have a boardwalk.
So, I may be crazy for asking this question, but I am really curious as to if this beach exists. Please no rude answers. Also, please do not answer if you plan on joking.
Thanks Rene :) I have taken what you said into consideration. I know dreams are usually just memories or the twisting of memories that you've had. I thought about asking my parents, but I know for sure they would think I was crazy :p
I will definitely try that. I got a name in the dream, but when I searched it didn't exist. Maybe it possibly got warped or I just made the beach name/beach up.

Answer
Try looking at google images, and see if you can find it. It may have been a composition of various aspects of things from your life from actually having visited beaches, having seen images of beaches in movies, what your brain actually thinks a beach should look like, and what your brain is trying to mentally process at the time.

Is this a Good Deal on Bluebird Bus Conversion to an RV (motorhome)?

Jason A

I am looking to buy a 1979 Bluebird flat nosed Bus Conversion. Let me give you some details about the bus, Ill copy and paste from the Gentleman's add....1979 Bluebird bus completely converted to nice motor home. 5 year old 427 Chevrolet gas engine (completely rebuilt) 4000 watt two year old gas generator, 2 year old easy hook up tow hitch, 30 or 50 amp. electric, two roof top air conditioners (one runs on 30 amp and both run on 50 amp.) Satellite dish system, Long heavy duty electrical cord included, 20 inch TV installed in cupboard above driver's/passenger's seats, driver's seat and passenger's bucket seats like new. propane two burner stove with grill and small oven, wall mounted propane heater, quick recovery hot water heater, 30 gallon fresh water tank, large holding tank with fittings and hose for emptying tank (storage for hose on side of motor home) 10 cubic ft. refrigerator with freezer, private bathroom with sink and flush commode and lots of storage, private bedroom with queen size bed, with lots of storage, livingroom storage benches convert to full size bed (includes full size easy inflate air mattress), large microwave oven, lots of counter space and deep cupboards and drawers, kitchen table leaf extends table to seat four people comfortably (includes four folding chairs in excellent condition), privacy roll down thermal backed shades for front of motor home, motor home shades on other windows, Large easy set-up attachable awning..... Ok so there is the add. i went to look at it and it does look like it is in really great shape, and truly if i didnt see the outside i would never know that I wasnt in an expensive motor home...the inside was very well done. Apparently it was a campaign bus for one of the state senators at some point and time...anyhow they are asking 8000 and it had just come down from 10k a few weeks ago. The gentleman has lost a leg and is elderly I think is just looking to get rid of it and not really make anything on it...Is this a fair priced or am I out of whack?
really im not sure if it has separate tanks for black and gray water but everything else seems to be done properly so im guessing yes, thats a question i need to ask. I cant imagine it would be all that much more to have an additional tank put in. All he showed me with the sewer was how it hooked up
I just looked at a diagram on the plumbing. Only has one dump valve so definately no grey water tank. However there is no shower, so maybe the impact isnt all that great.

Answer
Doesn't sound too bad for $8,000. The 30 gallon fresh water tank won't take you far if you're dry camping somewhere though. It doesn't say if it has separate holding tanks for grey and black water. That would be a concern.

People asking about hallucinogenic drugs. What do you think of this "episode" that happened to me on them?

Q. Since people frequently are posting questions about Magic Mushrooms, LSD and such. Here is what happened to me many years ago. What do you think??

Ok so I took six hits of 4 way windowpane LSD. I lost who and where I was. All I remember was being in the middle of a highwaytrying to stand up but I kept falling down. I was crawling around. Cars were screaching to stop and swerving. Honking their horns. Some body was sying "oh my God" I remember talking in gibberish and making animal like sounds. I remember a guy pulling up next to me and saying "Buddy can I help you?". I was on all fours. I lashed out at him with a bunch of animal sounds. I remember staggering away into the woods. I remember waking up in a park next to a bench. On the bench were carved the words "Jimmi Page" and Jimmy Hendrix". I was awstruck by the depth of the words. They summed up my life in some way but I know not how. Then I walked a while and came upon a police car in the park. No one was in it. I tried to open the back door to get in and sit in the back seat. I was going to explain to the cop that I was tripping and did not know how to get
home. And would he take me home wherever home was? But it was locked. Then I tried to break the glass of the window to get in but it would not break by hitting it with my hand. Then I continued in the forest. Then I was convinced I was dead. I needed to get home to find my opituary because I wanted to attend my own funeral. Then I came upon a horse. The horse jumped. I fell to my knees thanking God I was alive because the horses moved and horses cannot sense dead people. But then a thought came to me. I thought "maybe horses can sense dead people." How do you spiritually read all this? I think I learned a lot. Also something else. There was one point when I was lying on the ground looking up at the stars. Then I got up and sat on a log. I lit a joint. Just as I lit it I was back on the ground looking at the stars. Then I was back on the log smoking the joint. Then I stood up walked to the center of the field and looked at my friend who was also tripping at a high level. I smiled and rose my hands above my head. My friend said "Don't do it". In a defient manner I said "Yes". And clapped my hands together above my head. As soon as I did it I was instantly shooting through the universe not bound by time or space. I also remember being in a state of pure mental orgasm. I could see generations upon infinite generations both backwards in time for infinity and forwards in infinity. The next day I found out that when I clapped my hands together my friend saw me dissappear and die. The whole forest turned to a wasteland of burned embers. He freaked out and made his way somehow back to my parents house. He walked in the door and went into their bedroom and got in bed with them like a scared child. They turned on the lights and saw him. He started crying and told them I was dead. But he did not know what happened. My mother stayed up all night comforting him. The next day I made my way home in the morning after I got back in my body. But no one was home. They were in the park looking for my body as they thought I was dead. I still thought I was dead so I started looking through the newspaper on the kitchen table for my obituary. I wanted to attend my own funeral. Then my mother and my friend came through the door. Then everythins was OK. This is how it went. This was the most important experience of my life in the world of universal knowledge. Not the crazy stuff but the experience of seing the infinite generations in the past and the future. What do you think? Pretty cool?

Answer
" How do you spiritually read all this?"
Um, you were just high as your were not really dead! I dont think their was any hidden truth there but I get the drift seeing the carved in hendrix, like it was left there for you a road map, no its just graffiti.

Yes thats not good trip, more though you should have had just two tabs not 4. 4 and even 10 can cause damage.

I used to take moderate doses. Once 2 tabs but nothing better then normal as far as tripping.

Best to try moderation as you can and do try to fly off buildings or get out in the snow and die (Unless you have a guardian) but trippers can decide the guardian is evel.

Its more fun to try group activities, water guns, water guns with liquor, (dont get in the eye!) Drinking large quantities of wine is also quite fun on LSD and shrooms as the wine or alcohol has no effects (hard alcohol does!)

I remember taking shrooms, (small ammounts not space trucking) and we all learned to play the didjradoo, watched shooting starts and talked about who among us ~Really was the antichrist~ and then I remember every one thought I was homosexual and then I thought I was gay also for a good 3 hours.

But thats good clean fun, dont abuse LSD unless your in a safe area even then bad things can go wrong, DOnt trip in the dead of winter if its cold, You wont know and can get hurt.

I once took 3 hits of liquid then hits every few hours for total of 12 hits but its not the same as 4 hits all at once, megga tripping.
We ALL could see UFOS and it was a great time. Dont forget to drink pleanty of liquids if your triping in the sun or day.

A great shroom trip was a small ammount, ( was high as a kite) and I went camping and then just went in the forest alone. I sat still for hours and communed with the dead, communed with the forest critters. super mellow. what you describe is a bad trip.
Its best that you had the trip though.

Don't trip with jerk offs! They ruin it and bring down cops, walk around naked and get hurt. I had some friends and they all tripped and one of the guys went to the emergency room because he thought his parrents were posessed. So my friends they all received felonies, so moderation is best as the consequences are quite high.

I need step by step directions on how to make a bench cushion for my kitchen table.?

Q. I bought an Ikea kitchen bench and I would like to make a cushion for it. I have a vague idea how to do it - and the supplies I'll need, but I think I should have some step by step instructions just in case.

Is it as simple as plywood, spray adhesive, foam, and fabric??

Answer
You seem to be on the right track. You did not say if the top if the bench is finished. I am assuming that it is not.

You can adhere the foam to the plywood, but it is not necessary as the fabric will hold the foam into place.

1. Place fabric face down on a clean surface.
2. Place a layer of polyester batting down on the fabric.
3. Place foam cushion top of the batting.
4. Place the plywood over the foam.
5. Smooth the batting over the foam and plywood. Staple one side of the batting, Mitre the corners of the foam so that it is not bulky. (You may need to trim some of the batting. Staple the opposite side, then finish the remaining sides.
6. I like to sew the corners of the fabric for a finished edge, but you can carefully fold the corners of the fabric, (like a gift) and staple the fabric in the same manner as the batting.

You can then screw the bench to the bottom of the plywood.

YOU ARE DONE!

If the cushion in loose, the easiest way to do this is to sew the fabric on three sides and 1/3 of the way on each end of the remaining side. (Making a pillow case type cover.) Then turn the cover inside out. Take each corner and form a triangle from the flattened sides of the corners. Sew a seam on each corner the depth of the cushion. This gives a nice finished look. Turn inside - out. Then stuff cover with pillow and then hand sew the remaining portion of the seam.

leather kitchen corner unit?

mcmullen_b

A leather bench and table with optional (2 leather side chairs) to eat at. Sits in the corner of kitchen.

Answer
It depends. It depends on the color, the size and the time. It may not look as good in the winter as it would in the summer and it would be a pain moving the chairs back and forth if you wanted to switch off!

You could find a console table that is big enough for that they are narrow and built of the ground. Console tables work for any room and add a sense of style from entry room to bedrooms.

ideas about making tables out of random things?

Q. recently i saw a coffee table made out of old pallets and i was wanting to make a coffee table out of something you wouldnt normally see..Im looking for a colorful/modern type of look! Any ideas??

Answer
Yes, I full agree that you can make tables using old pallets. Old pallets and be used for many things.
We have three medium sized tables on our rap around deck out side that husband made from wood he collected from different places when we still had our out-door wood burner. I'd see a piece of wood that I knew had potential for a table and the work began. We have been using them for at least five years now. Simply made, but very durable. Just the thing needed for end tables for an out door deck. I like the the rustic look anyway so they fit in great for there use. Husband also made a table and small simple benches to use around our fire pit.

You are saying that you're looking for something that is colorful and modern looking. Any wood can be painting, but I don't know about the moder look when talking pallets.

Have you considered using a large foot rest that you can use for both foot rest and coffee table. This kind of thing is used all the time. You get two for the price of one. I always liked the idea, but it just wouldn't work with my house, but could with yours. Something to consider. Perhaps you could go hunting to second hand stores for a medal framed table on the modern side. Even if you would have to replace the glass it still might be worth purchasing with the frame is cheap enough to re-due.

Get out there a hunt second hand shops, rummage sales, even Goodwill stores. You never know what you can find at half or less the price than new. Bring in home and begin your project. Always be sure before you buy. You don't want to wind up with three different things that you decide you can't use. Get a picture in you mind of what you looking for. It's out there waiting for you. I've re-done and old cart on wheels for use in my kitchen. I'm sure you can find something to use for a coffee table. After you re-do it, now you can call it your own, and it's brand new again. It's fun to see something old come to life again. Good luck.

Experienced Mums, advice on toddler table please?

Q. Hi there,

I'm wanting to buy my 16 month old his first table and chairs. There are just soooo many to choose from! So I'm wondering your thoughts on what's good and bad eg

Round table vs square

Wood vs plastic

Bench style / picnic table or individual chairs (with backs or just stools?)

Are the ones with the built in bowl in the middle useful (to put crayons etc in)

Did u get one with drawers or not?

Anything to add that's helpful much appreciated!

PS - I'm in Australia

Thank you!

Answer
I like the square tables- they're easier to put in an out of the way corner!
Wooden ones look nicer, but the plastic ones do less damage to rough and tumble kids who run into them.
Individual chairs, I prefer backs but my son doesn't care.
I haven't purchased one with the built in bowl so I can't really say how good that is!
The ones we have don't have drawers (yes we have several!)
My mum has the Ikea Mammut table and stools for her place, my son really likes them. http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/30176644
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/90169532
At our place we have a square plastic table chairs that my MIL picked up from cheapie shop, my son loves that he can drag them all over the house. We also have a metal set purchased from a garden shop for outside use. We are looking at buying the Lego table for him too- he has a HUGE collection of Lego from his fathers childhood, plus hand me down Lego from his cousins.

Is this a good end to my book?

TOWIE CHIC

âWell, hereâs to being eighteen!â Serena declared as she and Patience clinked glasses, both of them laughing.
The two best friends had pushed back the white Venetian blinds and were perched on the window seat in Serenaâs luxurious apartment. Her room was airy and spacious, pink gleaming paint on the walls and a thick cream carpet warming their feet. A king sized bed took up at least half of the room, yet the girls had still managed to fit a TV, dance mat, sofa and table of food and alcohol into the corner.
âAnd let it be a lot better then being seventeenâ Patience murmured back, looking out to the wonderful view of the beach; calm and serene water, white grains of sand and fresh open air.
âHell to yes!â Jodie shouted as she danced to the music, her arms and legs flailing wildly.
They were all spread around the house, Millie and Callie downstairs watching movies on the big screen, Rosalie and Karina sprawled on the bed, going through every boy in their contacts and ringing them in turn and Keira, Juliet and Leigh were watching Jodie.
Patience smiled as she wiped the tear that trickled down her cheek, Serena saw it but pretended not to as she got up and walked over to the gilded mirror on the opposite side of the room, admiring her reflection in the glass and smiling.
Everyone was happy and she looked great, things did have a happy ending after all.










Please rate and offer any improvements. Please no mean comments!

Answer
Well, reading this out of context does you no favors, I must say. However, it's an ok ending, not the greatest, but then, I can't judge how well you ended it as I don't know the characters or the plot. I don't think a bunch of girls would end up that rich at the age of eighteen in real life, unless they were born into wealth, and if they were born into wealth, why the quote "Things did have a happy ending after all?" If they were wealthy, their lives wouldn't have any sad parts in them until after they left home, as the parents would definitely spoil them.

If, however, you are looking for just a "good" or "bad" response, i'd say good, as I didn't see any spelling or grammatical errors. The plot doesn't hold a dime up to grammar in my opinion, so I'll say, it's a good ending, as far as I can know.

is there a nice nearby beach to visit by just taking the subway/ train from manhattan NY ? directions?

sharad_wac

Nice summer beach to relax, and escape from manhattan - yet quite accessible by subway / train

Answer
Ok, there is a special deal on the Long Island Rail Road going to Long Beach. I'm not sure of the time table and the cost, but you can call the railroad or check on line. I used to use it before I had a car and house in the country. You take the train directly to Long Beach, I believe it was a straight ride and they let you out near the beach and you walk about a block or two to the sandy beach.
Other than that you can take the train, sorry can't remember which train, think it's the D, you go all the way to the end to Brighton Beach and be at the front of the train, and get out and you will be a block off of the beach. You want to go to the front part of the beach, it's the safest part, and the beach is safe. Bring your own chair for both places and towel and something to drink. Brighton Beach, no schedule as you are going on a subway.
Also, you can take a little longer trip and head for a day trip to fire Island. Take the Long Island railroad going to Atlantik (sp), it is a free beach, no homes. You can use the beach without anyone bothering you. actually you can use any of the beaches as they are all actually free beaches. It's just the home areas you can't use. Take the train out to probably Babylon and then you get a bus to the ferry, the ferry takes you across to the island and you can walk to the beach.
You can rent a car and head out to the Hamptons, but a lot of traffic. Also with a car you can go to the Jersey shore. I think there may be buses to the Jersey shore.
There are a lot of places to head to in the summer.
Also there is Reiis Park, but to be honest I'm not sure how to get there. It's a very nice beach. I haven't been there for awhile, but I remember liking it very much.
If you don't want to leave the city, there is a free pool, not crowded in the week, but crowded on weekends. John Jay Pool. It's on I think 77th Street and I believe York. All you need is a lock for your locker. Do not bring money with you and bring a plastic bag. Sometimes they let you bring a plastic bag in sometimes they don't. just bring your towel, suntan lotion and maybe a book, that's it. There are a lot of police around to make sure there are no problems at the pool. I used it for years until I recently moved into a building with a pool.
Well, I guess that should about cover it. I've given you all the things I can think of.

Rock Addic

How would you decorate it ?, go room by room, have fun and be creative :D

Answer
WOW GREAT QUESTION!!!
my family already has a beach house...but...

Porch- Would have a beautiful view of the sea, blue plush chairs, seashells on the walls, coffee table, maybe a radio, hardwood flooring, a small, fancy table lamp.

Living Room- Matching blue sofa and chairs, HUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE wall flat screen, a wii, huge fishtank built into the wall, no cieling, just a huuuuggeee skylight windows, sea paintings, the walls would be a dark blue, the carpet a light blue.

Kitchen-tile flooring, each tile having something to do with the sea (like a shell or a fish) the fridge would be stainless steel, marble countertop, chandelier, stainless steal cabinets, sink with a motion sensor, a high tech oven, stove and dish washer.

Stairs-light blue carpet (from living room)

Upstairs pool room (lol)- HUUUGEEEE inground pool on a balcony so everyone can see that I have a huge pool on a balcony. I would have a smoothie too!

OK i'm tired now I know I did not include bathroom or bedroom BUT ALL THIS WRITING IS TIRING MEH OUT LOL HOPE I HELPED!!! XD

what can I do to fix-up my beach house? The rental next to me is almost the same but it rents for more week?

cheezelord

Here is the link to the photos http://www.joelambjr.com/rental/imgview.html?ID=70&UN=%23+074+Sea+Glass&IT=R

we were thinking of redoing it with a tiki theme or like a jimmy buffet theme. Any suggestions. We are going to be tight this year, but we know we need to invest in it. Any other suggestions? I really want to stick out in the new rental book. Less the $5,000 please. Its going on credit. Vacation rentals have been slow due to the economy.

Answer
You have a beautiful, very large unit!
Kitchen/Dining room: has too many hard edges and is very leggy with all of the chairs & stools. I reccommend softening the look by adding some fabric and texture which will also add some color. Try draping a throw on the table or a table runner. Layer some dinnerware with bamboo chargers, dinner plates and bowls. Add some glasses and a tall centerpiece. I would even try removing a leaf and storing some of those chairs, if you could. Maybe set it for six and show off the square footage.

Family room: Centering your largest piece (sofa) at the fireplace is good. Try using the matching chairs opposite the love seat to make a grouping and add a rug large enough to have the front legs on the rug to anchor the room. It doesn't matter which side you place the love seat on. Then try placing the sofa table behind one of the pieces. It does appear that you are restricted because I believe you may have a stairway entering the space. Then, try to make a reading nook with the other chair in the corner. You will have to play around with the other table set or just store it. It is a family room first!
I know you must be thinking along the lines of a game table or extra seating. If you can store it, the renters can always bring it to the space. Are you leasing long term or short term?

It would be nice to use it outside on the deck, if it is possible. I dont' know if it is weather resistant.

For the master bedroom (floral) and second bedroom: hang the pictures 6" above the headboard to have a focal point and paint the rooms a warm beige. (Sorry, it is hard without seeing the light in the room).
For the white wicker w/yellow spreads: do the same or paint a pastel blue. Move pictures up a tad, add small vase of greens to the night stand.

Room with green/red spreads: Same thing or a cool green. Remove pictures totally, that are over the bed, add bed shirts to cover the frames. They sell bed risers at bed bath & beyond if you want to try elevating.

Do you need to have two sets of bunks? If not, set up as twins to make the room look larger. I can't imagine renting to accomodate that many people without totally destroying your place!

Pool Room/Sitting Room: Face the sofa towards the pool table and use the end tables accordingly, (not scattered). Remove the pictures near the TV so as not to draw attention to it.

Deck: Add some planters to the railings or some pots of plants to bring color. Try to have a nice seating area.

Play around. Start with your largest piece facing a focal point, bring in next largest pieces to form groups of seating. Add you lighting, trying to form a triangle around the room and lastly accessorize.
A shallow bowl with some beach sand and some tea lights would look nice on the coffee table. When grouping candle sticks, think in threes.
Good luck!

14 year old beach party?

WTFBBQ (:

Were throwing a surprise party for my friend
Shes Going to be 14 years old
were abit old than her so we don't really know what to do
she has a lot of friends and there's going to be about 40 people
So were gunna have it at the beach probably order pizza and play volleyball
what else should we do ?

Answer
DECORATIONS: You can buy or (and) make decorations. Anything you'd want, from starfish to whales, just go crazy with imagination! Palm trees you can bye or make, blow up brown balloons to make coconuts, leis, (make or bye), plastic or paper fish to hang from the ceilings, stand on the tables or lay on the floor! Put out colorful umbrellas or flowers, hawian phrases on posters to hang, fish nets, balloons, streamers, lights, sea shells, any interesting lamps, sculptures or photos, just have fun and go WILD!

FOOD AND DRINKS: Fruit ko-bobs, smoothies,Sodas (I recomend you just have a large cooler with all sorts of different soda or dinks in it!) Hot dogs, Cheeseburgers, and even colorful GOLD FISH!! You could eat shrimp, lobster, or FISH! Be sure to be artistic when you decorate the snack table! I would bye a cheap but nice table cloth that is plastered with beach themed pictures or something just plain colorful, like Tye-Dye!

DESSERTS: Thats right, desserts have their own indivisual coulmn! Make sundays, (have plenty of different toppings!) Cake, (DUH!) and there's a great cake that you can find at www.FamilyFun.com it is a cake scened like the beach and ocean, and it's topped with frosting AND CANDY!! I wish had more then these ideas but, nothing's come'n out of my mouth!

SNACKS: That's right, snacks too! Make sure to have a small snack table with a big bowl of candy on it (On the invites, remember!) Chips, vegetables, and different dips, and plenty of fruit!

GAMES: (Be sure to have a grand mystery prize for the team that has the most points at the end of the Tropical Game Zone!)Eat the chip then Guess the dip! This game's title says it all, Split your guests into two teams, blindfold the first 2 people and Dip the chip in a 'special' dip, give it to the person, and just let them smell it, feel it (?) then eat it. Whoever guess' it right first wins their team a point, and they get a pie in the face! (Just use whip o' cream in a paper plate, nothing fancy but the mess, (on the person!) The team who has the most pied faces at the end of the game (When everyone has had a chance) wins. That's 1 game point for the winning team. Everyone picks a water balloon that has a prize in it. Which brings us to the next game. Drop it or Pop, Snooze or Loose! Don't let the kids be bummed cuz of loosing the first game, they still have a chance to get the mystery prize! Have the teams hold their water balloons, the winning team lines up side ways to the other team. They each hold the water balloon that they still have from winning the first game, when the word "GO!" Is heard, have them toss the balloon back and forth to eachother. Whoever pops it or drops it first, looses and the other person gets the prize from inside. After everyone is done, Whichever team has the most prizes win, for a game point. The last game is a game from www.FamilyFun.com, ICECUBE STRAVAGANZA!: Have the 2 teams change into their bathing suits, and stand on opposite ends of the pool. Have 1 empty sand pail on each end of the pool (1 per team) Then dump a bag of Ice into the middle of the pool then shout, "GO!" Then everyone jumps in, make sure there is no pushing or shoving in the water, and keep a close eye on them for this game. Each kid may only grab 1 ICECUBE and put it into their team's bucket. Whoever has the most icecubes at the end of the 2 minute time limit wins. Whoever has the most game winning points gets the mystery prize. So no one feels left out, give the team that lost a little something too.

ENTERTAINMENT AND CRAFTS: Make tye-dye tee's, picture frames w/ real sea shells, (or fake) watch movies, eat, uggghhhhh, eat, and eat! Just kidding! You could also make a scrap book, just for your party. Use all of those photo's you should have! (While the kids are watching the movie you can get the film developed at the 1 hour photo shoot! And that's after the cake and icecream and presents!) Play music or dance, sing or play regular games, limbo, volleyball, or just go 2 bed!

GOODY-BAGS: Put in tye-dye bags, or just regular bags, sunglasses, braclets, photos of themselves, candy, lip gloss, eye-shadow, glitter and some bath stuff including glow in the dark night jewelery!

Beach party ideas?? Helpp plz?

melissagre

June 14th im having a schools out beach party and i need some ideas on what to do and ideas for invitations. There is going to be between 30 and 40 people there and I have no idea how to entertain that many people. Oh and the people who are coming are between the ages of 13 and 14

Answer
having a luau for my daughter's 8th birthday this coming saturday (have about 23 kids coming)

here is what we are doing:

-invitations were bought at the "dollar tree" dollar store in luau theme-they had parrots,tiki mask,and pink flamingo ones. or you could get some bright colored cardstock from the craft store and cut them into invitation sized squares then put glue on the botton and sprinkle sand on it. once it's dry-cut out a palm tree shape from brown and green colored cardstock and glue it to one side of the invitation (or make an umbrella and do the same). color the top of the cardstock blue for sky and make waves above the sand. in the middle of the card-put your party info on 3 lines.

-decorations: we got all of these at the dollar tree too. we bought adult sized hula skirts and are using them around the kitchen table for a table skirt. I then bought:
-hibiscus shaped coasters for people's drinks
-luau themed confetti for the table
-luau themed pictures(parrots, flowers, tiki masks,etc) to hang up on the walls
-a banner w/parrots on it that says "luau party"
-yard signs-one of them is a pink flamingo that is holding a sign in it's mouth that says "luau party"-this one is going in the front yard next to the homemade poster I made that says "happy birthday chelsei". the other two are tiki lamps and i'm putting those on both sides of our walkway
-we are using a adult sized grass skirt to hang above the front door as people walk in
-flower petals from leis are being sprinkled up our walkway

as the guests walk in, they will be handed their leis and the kids will be given grass skirts made from green ribbon and green paper streamers (i'll make these a couple of days beforehand)

food being served is:

-grilled chicken teryaki skewers
-fruit skewers (kiwi, watermelon chunks, pineapple chunks, balls of honeydew and canteloupe,grapes,and banana slices)
-mixed nuts
-white cake from costco w/chocolate mousse filling-on top I'm making 4 mini hula dancers from a special cake pan.

the kids will then make wooden surfboard name plates (got these at the dollar tree too). they will be painted different colors by me first then the kids will use alphabet stamps and black paint to stamp their names on them and use markers to color the tiki masks, lizards, or flowers that are glued on the side of the surfboard.

GAMES (this would be the best thing to do at your party if you don't have a pool)

-BALLOON POP. I bought 2 small kiddie pools at the grocery store for 7 bucks each. I'm filling them up with water and balloons. the kids will be divided into 2 teams and will have 5 minutes to see which team can pop the most balloons by taking turns sitting on them to pop them!! the team that wins gets hersheys candy bars

-SPRINKLER FREEZE. we have 6 sprinklers in our backyard. the kids will run around the yard until I blow a whistle (music will be playing in the background). once the whistle blows, they have to freeze in place until I blow the whistle again-even if they are standing right in front of a sprinkler getting soaked!!

-WET PANTS RELAY. I'm using two buckets filled with water and 2 pairs of my pajama bottoms. kids are divided into 2 teams and take turns dipping the pants into the water bucket, putting the pants on and running across the back porch and back. first team to finish wins a sucker

-LIMBO. classic limbo game played w/a limbo stick I got at the dollar store and the limbo song I downloaded off the internet. winner of this game gets a special luau mug (dollar store) filled with candy

-PALM TREE SHAPED PINATA. at the end of the party-the kids will take turns hitting a palm tree pinata I got at party city-it will have candy and toys in it.

you could also:

-bob for apples
-have a water balloon toss game

hope this helps and have fun!!

i would go with an indoor venue for a theme like this because you will want to decorate with old rock n roll posters or vinyl records or record cover. it would be fun to find a venue with that black and white floor if you are going for vintage rock and roll, or have it in a theater or venue where they normally hold concerts if you want a more modern rock vibe.

Do you think that this is a cute idea for wedding favors/table settings?

sunflower.

Our theme has yellow and dark blue (our two favorite colors, his blue, mine yellow). Anyway, in my bouquet there will be sunflowers, I LOVE sunflowers so there was no question about that.

I'm on a budget, so I was thinking something creative for the centerpieces. I collect colored glass vases, have been since I was around twelve, and I have a TON of them all over the house, more than thirty extra that I can lend to the decorations, or just get them all on the table. But there are yellow ones, red ones, blue ones, or just clear ones with neat designs all from thrift stores. Anyway, I was thinking of putting sunflowers in the vases and scattering the different vases on tables with small candles, so the light goes through that. I was also thinking that they might be cute favors? Just so that I wouldn't have to deal with getting all the vases up again truthfully.

Also what I was thinking for favors, is getting sunflower seeds in those brown seed bags and tying them with a ribbon that says our names and date.

What do you think? My ceremony is on the beach and is very earthy and might I even say "Hippie". =]

Answer
I think it is a great idea! I love sunflowers, they are so pretty. I like the vases idea. Don't be afraid to mix and match the colors of the vases, stick a sunflower in it[buy an artificial one if you can't get a real practice one], and if it looks great, use it. Red is a really great color for sunflower yellow, and that sunflower yellow color would go pop against the red. And certain shades of red [not to mention blue and yellow and green]might coordinate the blue and the yellow together too.

I adore the light shining thru colored glass and crystal. You should see my Xmas tree. A friend had her daughter's wedding at a glass blowing factory/glass artist's studio last year, and selected a glass creation for each of the reception tables. No flowers, just glass. Beautiful.

And save yourself a lot of trouble and time with large numbers of vases, there is no need to saturate the reception with vases and flowers. A few well placed ones would be spectacular. Sunflowers are big and showy all on their own. One smaller vase with a single bloom, or a bigger vase with 3 would work. You could always bribe a guest to collect the vases and wrap them up for transport home. I would do it for a vase and some sunflowers. A dark red vase, or cobalt blue, please.
Just be sure that your sunflower does not make your vase top heavy, we don't want you to lose any to breakage.

If you want to give the votives away as favors, fine, but if they burn the entire reception time, they might be too hot to touch when it is time to take them home.

I like the sunflower seed idea. Either the kind in the brown paper bag, or go get a small package at the store, the kind with the picture on the front. Either would be cute. Might consider tying the bag with natural twine, the kind like you would tie tomato vines up with, and find a cute country design for a gift tag. Or even cut out a tag from some brown paper, and buy sunflower stickers from the craft store. Some of those stickers at Michael's look like photos, they are so real. And since fall is now out in the stores, now would be a great time to visit Michael's and see what else might interest you.
I found the bouquet of butterflies so cute, someone on here had a picture [and so does Martha Stewart]. that would be so smashing, yellow butterflies and sunflowers. Butterflies that match your vases, pretty too.

I would not give your vases away! You might miss them! I was not sure that is what you meant to give away. But if you do want to give some away, to the bridesmaids or to the parents, that might be OK, you might not miss just a few.

If you want to carry the theme of sunflowers and hippy/ nature into your shower, suggest a little decorated hand painted sunflower on a clay clay pot, and some seed packets, and maybe a bitty trowel to go with it. they sell clay pot paint and bitty pots at Michael's, I just saw them there.

Can I bring my rats camping with me for 3 days?

K-9Kara

We are going camping for 3 days at a campground only 20 minutes away, I have to pet rats. My moms afriad that they will stink up the trailor but if I sat them on the picnic table under the canopy during the day and bring them in at night they should be ok. We have plenty of room in the trailor for the cage. Should we bring them or leave them at home?

Answer
If you are going camping the last thing you want to do is keep your pets outdoors, especially at night. The next morning they will not be there. My husband and I took our cat camping many times in the RV. We had his litter box, which we cleaned regularly and it never smelled in there. If you keep them caged, then bring them. But like I said, don't even leave them outside without their cage in the daytime. If other campers see rats, they will either alert the campground office or take matters into their own hands. Most people think of pets as dogs and cats...not rats.

Need help finding preschool lesson plans any suggestions?

Preschool themes for: Camping, Gardening, Pirates, Bugs, Community Workers, Child Handicaps, Beach, Picnics

Answer
www.preschooleducation.com , click on theme topics
www.atozteacherstuff.com , click search and type what you want or click discuss and ask your question.
www.preschoolrainbow.org, topic on side bar

camping: build a tent from large sheets and chairs, use flashlight for "fire" or to make shadows on side of "tent."

Pirates: have half class hide treasure and make map. Then other half has to decipher map and find treasure. Sing "yo ho ho and a box of juice drinks." Make telescopes or binoculars using tp rolls. Have each child hold a hook and fish for treasure in davy jones' locker (the sand/water table.) Make a pirate ship using paper shapes or blocks. Design and create your own treasure chest using a cardboard box. Books I read when I do pirates: When the Wild Pirates Go Sailing, Dinosailors, How I Became a Pirate, and Tough Boris. (I consider the latter 2 must haves.)

All your topics, except for pirates, have their own catagory in preschooleducation.com

States should significantly limit gambling?

Jane Awe.

I am prepping for a debate camp, and i am having a hard time researching this topic. Can anyone help me?

Answer
Govts. should not limit gambling at any level. It is not the role of the govt to protect us from ourselves. If we choose to risk our money at the craps table, that is our prerogative and we should have every right to do so.

what can u do at browns clearwater lodge (atikokan, ontario, canada)?

Yooo

i might go here with my friend and i was wondering what kinda stuff u can do there?
please NO random answers, i really need to know

Answer
Well, firstly, it is an excellent fishing destination, with many types of fish to be caught; you can fish a different lake each day, with as many as 40 choices (they have fish-cleaning stations on site, so they allow you to eat what you have caught). If you choose to go during the colder weather, you have the opportunity to go ice fishing or snowmobiling. Next, Browns' Clearwater Lodge is great for boating or canoeing- very relaxing and peaceful with amazing scenery. You also have the chance to go on 'eco-tours', where you take a ride on a 10-person pontoon boat and learn a little about the ecosystem, if you are interested in that. And of course, you can roast marshmallows and sit by the campfire at the end of the day.

You can choose the camp either on the beach or in the forest. With electricity, a picnic table, and a fire pit, you and your friend are pretty much guaranteed a great time. They also have cottages or mobile homes available for rent if camping out does not suit you.

Finally, if you want to take a break from the outdoors, they have a game area where you can play pool or shuffleboard. They also have an internet cafe, a lounge, a fast food diner, a sauna, and more.

Good luck, I hope you and you friend have a great time if you choose to go!

Mt everest statistic questions?

Blake

I need the 5 most popular climbing routes of Mt. Everest (or the 5 easiest ones)

and then if you could i need to select two of the popular climbing routes and identify the key places or camps. Make a table for each climbing route. Each table should include the name of each camp, the elevation of the camp in feet, and the difference in elevation between each camp in feet. Identify which section of each route gains the most in elevation.

thanks in advance :]

Answer
A) Japanese Couloir
B) Central North Face
C) The Great Couloir (White Limbo)
D) South-East Ridge Standard ( Sir Edmond Hillary's route )
E) N-NE (Zakharov's) Couloir

The two most popular are the: South-East Ridge Standard ( 1140 climbs )and the North East Ridge with ( 655 climbs.)

South-East Ridge:
Southeast ridge begins with a trek to Base Camp at 5,380 m (17,700 ft)
Camp "I" at 6,065 m (19,900 ft). a gain of 2,200 feet
Camp "II" at 6,500 m (21,300 ft) a gain of 1,400 feet
Camp "III" at 7,470 m (24,500 ft). a gain of 3,200 feet ((The most gain after Base Camp))
Camp "IV" at 7,970m (26,000ft). a gain of 1,500 feet
The South Summit at 8,750 m (28,700 ft) a gain of 2,700 feet

North East Ridge:
North East Ridge begins with a trek to Base Camp at 5,180 m (16,990 ft)
Camp "II", at 6,100 m (20,000 ft) a gain of 3,0I0 feet
Camp "III" at 6,500 m (21,300 ft) a gain of 1,300 feet
Camp "IV" at 7,010 m (23,000 ft) a gain of 1,700 feet
First Step at 27,890 feet. A gain of 4,890 feet. ((The most gain after Base Camp))
Second Step at 28,300 feet. A gain of 410 feet
Third Step at (28,510 ft to 28,870 ft) a gain of 570 feet

As a historical note, I interviewed Sir Edmond Hillary and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1998 for a television station here in Ontario Canada. A huge man ( at 6' 6" ) with a heart of gold. May he rest in peace.

Hope this is what you need.

Regards,
Warren
