A Word from Carol The Importance of A Home Inspection Never underestimate the importance of a home inspection when you are seriously considering a piece of real estate. Hiring a licensed home inspector will relieve you of much anxiety further down the road. Your inspector will alert you to any potential problems now, saving you from unexpected expenses later. He can help you gauge the future costs of maintaining the house. The inspector will provide a consummate survey from top to bottom. The report will cover all fundamental components of a structure including construction, electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems, roofing, floors and foundation. A thorough inspection will alert you to the areas that need attention prior Feng Shui in the Bathroom (by Lowes) The philosophy—or art—of Feng Shui can make your home more conducive to the flow of positive energy (chi). The literal translation of Feng Shui is "wind and water." The bathroom is definitely the room that you think of when you think of water. But the water in the bathroom isn't the same as the water element. You will still need the water element, such as a water fountain or aquarium, in other areas of the house to be balanced. The following Feng Shui information can be applied to existing bathrooms or to homes that are being designed. The entry to the home is where career and opportunities come into the home. If the bathroom is located directly in front of the entry, your opportunities could flow out immediately. You can help prevent a loss of opportunity by always closing the bathroom door and toilet lid (when not in use) to prevent the unnecessary escape of chi. Lots of lighting, good ventilation and cleanliness are essential to a proper Feng Shui bathroom. As with other rooms, a lot of mirrors are important to reflect chi and keep it moving around the room and throughout the house.
Lupo's News (by CatAge & Dog Age) In The Comfort of One's Home You know cats aren't big fans of change. It stresses them out. That's why they hate it when you go out of town. You can minimize disruption to your cat's routine and reduce his stress level while you're away by hiring a licensed and bonded in-home pet sitter. Your pet will enjoy the comfort and familiarity of being in his own home and avoid dealing with the unknown sounds, people, and other animals at the local kennel. He'll also sidestep potential exposure to airborne pathogens. Always interview prospective sitters in your home, where you can see how each one interacts with your cat.
You don't have to live in a tropical climate to enjoy a tropical paradise on your deck, porch or patio. Set the stage with a variety of plants, lush foliage and vibrant flowers in containers placed around pools, ponds and other water features. Add some spice to your outdoor space with a selection of flowering tropicals. Hibiscus sport colorful, saucerlike flowers all summer long. Cannas produce tall narrow leaves topped with

Don't allow dripping faucets or dirty fixtures to be a part of your bathroom. A dripping faucet is a sign of wasting money. Another way to counteract opportunity and prosperity from being flushed away is to keep a bowl of pebbles or fresh flower arrangement on the toilet tank or on a shelf above the toilet. By adding this element of earth, you will help control the water.
A
black or red rug at the base of the
toilet will also provide protection
against wealth loss.

Bring your dog outside to celebrate only if you're confident she can handle the hubbub. If she's up for it, keep her leashed and close to you at all times.

Sudoku The New Addiction! Just in case you've never played before. The object of the game is to fit the numbers 1-9 in the correct orders. You need to fill a number from 1 to 9 in every blank cell. A number must appear only once in each row, column and 3x3 block. Sounds easy enough. Don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, its very fun and challenges your brain. (If you don't see the game on the left please try refreshing your screen. You can use F5 or your refresh button.) |
