Being originally from New York city, I really love the farm life.
However, something deep inside of me misses the city, just a little
bit.  To satisfy this need, I would like to have my husband build a
subway under our farm.  What is the best way to do this?  He will

 I've been watching "The Knife Show" on TV.  They sell packages/collections
of knives made by Frost Cutlery.  I spent a few hours trying to find reviews
of Frost (not to be confused with Frost of Sweden) knives, and struck out.
  I'm skeptical about the quality, and would like ...

We got screwed from a guy in Krum Tx. He installed our system and I
have no recourse. The county won't enforce anything and I have to fix
this myself... anyway sorry for the whining. I basically need to know
the best way to trouble shoot the problem. I have lost 1 pump already

I posted previously about a company offering free ipods and there
seemed to be some interest...the company actually offers more than one
product and I've written a guide on how to obtain anything from ipods
to flats screen monitors and even computers!

My dad died last Tuesday.  The funeral schedule ended up being Visitation on
Sunday, service on Monday, inurnment on Friday.  A week and a half to get
him laid to rest.  I had to leave after Monday....couldn't keep the kids out
of school a week and half.

I live in NY where we got deluged this summer. There is a deep ditch in
front of our property and the rains have eroded the shoulder so there is
no place to put our mailbox. Anyone have any clever ideas about how to
put up a mailbox that won;t fall over every time it rains? We ...

In front of my house, I have a fence upon which grows a dense vine, Trumpet
Creeper vine (has familiar orange flowers). It faces the street and the
traffic. The vine is as thick as a hedge and it filters out tons of: fumes,
soot, noise. It also gives me great privacy and it pumps ...

Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help, and sent

Steel maul with a foam/rubber grip. Grip is slowing sliding off. Is there
a simple way to get it slide back where it belongs?
Hints on how to keep it from sliding down again also welcome.
Thanks,

I live in a very rural area, and I refuse to do business with most of
the local businesses.  While I realize it is "good for the area" to do
it locally, I refuse to be ripped off by these businesses.  
I am not talking about common household items such as groceries, etc.

A supposedly true story I've just heard.
A tiler was laying tiles for some people and as he was running late the
house owners asked him to join them for a meal: they were having a spit
roasted pig that they had hunted and killed themselves.

Wally World has finally provided a local (to me) telephone number for their
ISP services.
Does anyone here use Walmart as their ISP?
Does the service permit News Group access?
