I made a thing, and everyone is telling me to patten it. Anyone know how to do that and what it costs?

where a bunch of computers are available for different people to use, and each person has a log in name and password to get on the computers....can you tell when the last time someone logged on was?

We have a puppy, had her for about 2 weeks. She chews everything. Including toys and even the kids! I don't know what to do. I'm at the end of my rope. Screaming at her does nothing. Putting her outside does nothing (she just eats the toys in the yard). I read to give her something she is allowed to chew on when she does it. She wants nothing to do with her own toys/bones. I'm going crazy! Help!

I want a macro lens for my xt. But without trying them all out I don't know which is best for me. Anyone have any experiences with them? I would like something pretty fast to beable to freeze motion. ???

My boyfriend and I are trying to get stuff together for our wedding. But we have very little money. We don't want a caterer, we were going to have our moms cook the food. Was just wondering what others have done to keep costs down for weddings.

I have two kids...ages 1 and 4. My mom has them monday thru Wed when I'm at work. She won't watch them other than that. My boyfriends family lives 5 hours away. We would like to get some time to ourselves everyonce in a while. But I won't trust just any random person with my kids. I'm just wondering how to go about finding a trustworthy babysitter so we can go on dates with eachother once in a while.

I have two 300 w/s strobes, and two 150 w/s strobes. The 150's will not fire. The model lamp turns on, and they fire when I press the test button...but they won't fire when I shoot.

Someone please help, I'm so frustrated.

I have a shoot with a one week old baby on saturday. Usually I use a piece of black material, but I used it to make a dress...haha! Anyway, I am not about to spend a gazzilion dollars for a black backdrop, since black hides wrinkles and stuff pretty good no matter what the material....as long as it isn't reflective. So.....I'm thinking a king size bed sheet is my best bet (try finding one of those....ha! nearly impossible)...anybody have any better ideas?

can I get a car that is worth less than what they give me for it. I owe a lot on it, it's a newer car, but I need to cut out some of my bills. Can I trade it in and get a junker?

What is best for a kitchen semi-gloss, high gloss...etc?

Ok....my fiance and I have been together 3 years, engaged for 1. I have a 4 yr old, and together we have a 1 year old. We own a house, both have good jobs, blah blah blah.

He has communication issues. He completely shuts down and doesn't say anything when something comes up. How do I get him to talk?

I have tried everything, writing, speaking, texting. I can't get him to open up.

Also, he is very lazy. He shows no pride in our home. Whenever something needs to be done, like painting a room, I do it. And he acts like I'm wasting my time, and it's a stupid idea to even do it. I don't understand why he lacks motivation to do anything. What am I doing wrong.

My house is old, and my cabinets are from the 70's. I have a red and gray table with chrome legs (50's style). Right now my walls are yellow with white cabinets and wanes coating. But the white gets sooooo dirty. I clean constantly, but with 2 small children I can't seem to keep up. Is there a better color?

....I want to get tattoos for my 2 kids. I'm thinking just their names. But I don't know where to get them. I'm female and I don't want my kids names on a "sexy" part of my body. Any ideas?

...and he still doesn't sleep thru the night. He usually gets up 1 to 3 times for a bottle in the middle of the night. I don't know what to do. We put rice cereal in his milk to try to thicken it. We don't do diaper changes at night cause we don't want to wake him any more than he already is. We just hand him the bottle and walk out. But it's getting real old. How do I get him to sleep thru the night!?

I have a white muslin backdrop, and I hate it. I'm thinking of replacing it with a paper roll. Anyone have any experience in this department? I take my studio on location, so it needs to be easy to move without getting wrinkled (the problem I'm having with the muslin).

How does your company go about giving the receptionist breaks/lunch? I am an admin. assist, and when the receptionist goes on breaks it's my job to sit at her desk and answer the phone. This drives me nuts cause it cuts into my time and I can't do any work out there.

They used to take exchanges and then sell your return back to you for $1. Like if you got a scent that you didn't like as a gift, you could exchange it, then I guess because they aren't able to re-sell it for fear that you put something in it they would allow you to buy it back for only $1.... Does anyone know if they still do this?
