Open Question: Is it ok to burn magazines and glossy paper in a fireplace?

We're just getting used to our fireplace which we only had for a couple of weeks and my other half thinks magazines and junk glossy mail leaflets and booklets is an ideal stuff to start the flame with(as we don't read newspapers and don't have any) and it indeed works great with some kindling as well before the wood gets going but I was wondering if it's safe to burn it, or is it toxic? It gives green flames which I'm also wondering about whether it's normal. Thank you..

Open Question: Want a home but need to establish more of a credit history to get get a decent loan. Help?

My husband and I are ready to receive a home for our family and looking around 150,000. My husband has pretty good credit and is 32 years of age and im almost positive the my credit is in not so good condition and i am 23 years of age. I wld like to put my name on are home loan. With my husband applying alone we can only receive approved for around $70,000. We've thought of a few ways to increase out credit history. 1)buy groceries with a credit card and pay of in full each month 2)buy gas " " " " " " " " " " " 3)decorate our current rental with paint etc..... 4) receive a car loan 5) i have also thought about getting a foreclosed home but i am not sure if i just want to settle for a home that i am not going to be fully glad with. The condo i am renting now is exceptional and i like it...so y not just stay and decorate it to my taste? So my questions to every of you are...... 1) Do i need a different credit card for each item...or should i just do it that way? 2)Which cards should i put in my name if i can even receive a credit card and which would be the best card for me? 3)The same question over also applies for my husband? 4)Does anyone have other suggestions for establishing better credit scores and history? 5)Finally, if anyone has any knowledge of foreclosed homes and how to receive a decent home I am looking for these qualities in a home 1)3 bedroom 2)1 1/2 bathrooms at least 3) nice size garage ( my husband has a historical car and wants to work on it but we have no garage where we are 4)A decent yard for my kids to play and me to make beautiful 5)I would loooovvvve a front porch 6)A patio but if not im a do it and build it myself nice of girl and would probably like the project 7)A fireplace is one of my dreams!!! I am currently living in Willowick,Oh which is lake county, I am looking in these areas.. Willowick, Eastlake, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, Mentor, Mentor On the Lake and they are every located in Ohio. If anyone has any info that could possibly be of use, I would forever appreciate. This is a move that my family and I are ready for but will wait till the right opportunity presents itself. It is amazing how many scams there appear to be on here.....the only legitimate answer so far is Avery. IF YOUR OUT TO receive MY MONEY....DO NOT ANSWER. A lender puts his info down and then theres someone right after them saying they were in desperate need of $....u r a scam and i will not fall for it. Do not use GOD as a way of scamming me and use the exact same wording as a person before you did. First of every isn't that Blastphomy (however u spell it). Secondly....i dnt go to church and expect GOD to hand me things on a silver platter. If you want to scam me...please be a little more smart. I AM NOT AN IDIOT!!!!

Open Question: Landlord hasn't fixed the heat in almost a month?

I am a renter. My heater/air conditioning unit broke almost a month ago. It still isn't fixed. We are heating our home with 2 decorative fireplaces that we possess ourselves. The landlord gave us some space heaters to use. When I plug it in to warm my daughters room the circuit breaker goes out. It is the 9th of the month and we haven't paid our rent. Today the landlord asked where the rent was. I asked when the heat would be fixed. I figure they could give us a bit of leeway since the heat has been broken almost a month. What are the laws regarding a situation like this? The landlord says the unit had to be ordered from the U.S.A. We live in Ontario Canada.

Open Question: Should I use a fogger in my fireplace to kill wasps?

I have been fighting with wasps getting into my home from my fireplace for two years now. In the winters, we kill a few wasps every week in the home. In the heat of the summer, we will kill 1 - 2 a day (much more towards the end of the summer). Burning a flame only helps when there is a flame burning. They arrive right back when the flame is out, like I said we've been playing this game for 2 years. They are docile and normally stay in the windows behind the blinds. However last summer one stung my 3 year old inside the home so we really need to do something. I can look them swarming in the summers at the top of the fireplace outside. I have a two story home with a steep roof and I do not have a death wish so there's no way I'm getting up there. We called an exterminator and were told to keep our $125 and just buy a fogger because that's what they were going to do. I'm no exterminator but something just doesn't sit right about spraying a flammable substance marked KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES into a tiny space that I will be burning a flame in at some point in the future. Does anyone know if foggers are safe to use in fireplaces, or have an alternative to getting rid of the wasps?

Open Question: What should I do about this really hot girl?

Really long, so if you read this, your chilly! So there's this girl at my school who's a senior, and I'm a junior. She’s really hot, with long silky hair, smooth soft skin, big bouncy boobs, and plenty of curves. We sit next to each other in one class and play games and help each other with homework every hour. She’s really touchy-feely with me and we giggle every the time. Once before an assembly I had to go to my locker, and she followed me there and we talked the whole time. She didn't even need to go to her locker. Then yesterday I was sitting next to her and she had short shorts on and she took my hand and put it on her bare thigh. Then she started giggling. then today she was reaching for something and had her boobs on my shoulder for a solid 8 seconds. We were laughing and smiling a lot today, then when we were lining up to leave class she kept backing into me and bumped her butt into my hand like 5 times. On the last time, I squeezed it to look what would happen. She gasped, and giggled. No one noticed though. Once we were hanging out at her home sitting in the hot tub (yes she has one lol) in our bathing suits. I had my arm around her, and she had her arm around me. That was nice, especially since she was in a bikini and I was in trunks. Plus the hot water, so I was feeling a certain nice of bliss. After a little while, I became aware she had her hand on my crotch. I realized why I felt such pleasure: I had a b*ner, and she was lightly rubbing it. Sometimes when we’re laughing and stuff she’ll take my hands and cup them on her boobs and then we’ll giggle. I usually just sort of squeeze and caress them for a little bit before she gets up and sits in my lap. (Although once, when she was wearing a tank top and showing ample cleavage, I traced my finger on the bare tops of her boobs and gently poked my fingers in between them. I think she loved that. Once we were sitting together at my home and the subject of sex came up (we’re teenagers) and she confessed to me that one of her fantasies was for a guy to lay her down on a tiger skin carpet, in front of a roaring flame, and make sweet adore to her. If that weren’t flirty enough, I noticed that my living room has a fireplace with a tiger skin carpet….. So I’m basically wondering, what should I do about her? And how do you think she views me?

Open Question: My sex life: look below please?

Okay so my boyfriend and I like to receive intimate every night by the fireplace. He and I r both really good lovers to each other and are both very good at sex and kissing. Sometimes it's shower sex, sometimes it's the kitchen counter or dining room table, or the bearskin carpet by the fireplace. But each and every time, he starts to lick my nipples and i really really like it, then he starts grabbing my breasts and pressing harder and harder into me and I start sighing and making noises and then he goes super quick and I'm yelling his name by now and he's growling and we are really getting into it and then he gets up and rolls me over and starts anal. I adore anal and so I'm saying "yes!" over and over and he's going very rapidly now and I'm hoping the night never ends. He gets up and lays down with his hands behind his head and I start oral on him. I'm going quick as well then he starts making the noises and the time is right. He picks me up and if we're not in the shower, he pushes me against the wall and going so quick into me and I start groaning with pleasure but I just let my whole body relax as he ejaculates into me. Do you think he would like it if I was just as violent with him as he is with me or is it sexier if I let him do what he wants with me? Boys, this ones for you ;)

Open Question: Which is a better summarizing title for a novella?

I'm currently researching and writing a short story, possibly a novella, set in Indian Territory (gift-day Oklahoma) in 1872. It's about the seldom-explored subject of mixed communities there, where many Indians lived side by side with both ex-slaves and whites. It's located on the confluence of two rivers, in an area also crossed by a cattle trail from Texas and the new railroad coming south from Kansas. Railroad meets old trail represents the old ways dying and giving way to the new. For every these reasons, one title option for the story is "Confluence." This was during Reconstruction, when ex-slaves were now legally granted equal rights and the country would be reconstructed from the war's aftermath. When my main character first arrives in the town that will become her new home, she finds a sandstone home destroyed by Civil War canon blast, the only thing standing still being the fireplace and chimney. She has the home rebuilt with every the rubble lying around it. So...for the era in which it's set, and her rebuilding of the home being an analogy for rebuilding her life and realization of dreams and hopes...the second option would be "Reconstruction." Sorry for the length, but I wanted potential answerers to know the story's weight of each word before deciding. Thanks...

Resolved Question: OK i have landlord issues?

My landlord has requested my roomates and myself to discontinue the use of the gas fireplace as the weather is much warmer. But the problem is is that its still chilly outside so we still want to use it. We found the gas fireplace heats up the home faster than the heating system in the home. Which makes me think, is the heating system usually more expensive than the fireplace? But yea so we totally turned off the heating system(its an old home so its a water heating system) and just used the fireplace. The thing is I don't think she can just tell us to cease using it when its still icy outside. Like we pay $500 dollars a month so why can't we. She also does not give us 24 hrs notice when she comes to the home. We have told her to do so and she still comes over whenever she wants. Sometimes she will e-mail too, but sometimes we don't receive the e-mail that quick. So she needs to call us if she wants to arrive over..is this fair? Tell me what u think Yes we are paying for heat, its included in the $500 wow i just nice of realized that

Here's mine. Ranch style home,steps that arrive up to the front with a huge front porch that leads to a wrap around deck that would extend every the way around the home to the back where it would extend out to an even bigger deck where there would be my grilling area,pool,hot tub and picnic area. My kitchen would overlook the backyard,window over the sink(I adore to look out the window when I was dishes). I would have bird feeders outside the window over the sink so I could watch the birds. My kitchen would have an island in the middle and it would have to be an eat in kitchen with off white cabinets and sky blue trim. My oven would be built into the wall and I would have a huge double sided sink. The laundry room would be adjacent to the kitchen. I would have a huge living room with a fireplace. I would have a pantry in the kitchen to store every canned and boxed foods. I would have 5 bedrooms. Mine would be the master bedroom with a bathroom(with a huge separate shower stall where water comes out from every sides of the wall along with the traditional shower head. Then I would have this huge jacuzzi style tub with jets and a window over the tub. Also a a huge vanity and a towel closet. Then my child would have a master bedroom too any way he liked it. Then one room for my office ,two spare room for guests and a rec room for us. I like lots of closet space and would have walk in closets in the bedrooms very huge ones. A linen closet in the hallway,a bathroom for guests,garage and huge storage area for my things adjacent to the home. A person can dream can't they. This is my dream home that exists in my mind.

I had a chimney sweep over today who acted like it would be take Jesus himself to switch it out. He quoted me something like $7,000 to take out an old one and replace it with a new one. He said the walls would have to arrive with it and the mantle would have to be rebuilt. He also said that if I (God forbid) wanted to change it to an "A Vent" for regular gas or wood, that I'd be looking at tens of thousands of dollars. Am I the only person who has a B vent for a fireplace because he sure made me feel that way. Please help and thank you in advance!

Sometimes when we’re laughing and stuff I reach out and cup my hands on her boobs and then we’ll giggle. I usually squeeze and caress them for a while but when she wears a tank top with ample cleavage, I trace my fingers over the bare tops of her boobs and poke my fingers in between them. I think she loves that. Once we were sitting together at my home and the subject of sex came up (we’re teenagers) and she confessed to me that one of her fantasies was for a guy to lay her down on a furry carpet, in front of a roaring flame, and make sweet adore to her. If that weren’t flirty enough, I noticed that my living room has a fireplace with a furry carpet in front of it….. So I’m basically wondering, what should I do about her? And how do you think she views me?

Open Question: My mom is angry at me for cleaning the house?

Hi, I have a mom who just came back from a buisness trip like literally right now. While she was gone for 3 days, I decided to clean the whole entire home while she was gone as a surprise. I mean every nook and cranny. I cleaned the windows and had to receive out the big ladder to do it, I cleaned off [with several different cleaners] the shutters that nobody ever even looks at and washed every possible thing I could in the laundry machine, and put loads of dishes in the dishwasher nonstop. She is livid with me. She says I messed everything up and the home looks worse than it did before. I almost got tears in my eyes when she started digging everything out of the cupboards and putting them back in sloppily because the way I organized them "Sucked". Also apparently I "stole" a box of mesquite flame burning chimney chips from below the sink.... can you tell me why I would do this? Me neither. I also cleaned the fireplace COMPLETELY and sanded the flame log holder. I stayed up every night to keep cleaning- I have had maybe like 7 hours of snooze in two days. One of my wrists has brown spots on it now and my left hand is every scratchy and has purple spots. The skin on my hands hurt and are really raw from every the chemicals. I also bought groceries and cleaning supplies. And got my sister to take the pets to receive groomed and bathed at Petsmart. She's mad that I put the relax of the home to clean before I cleaned my possess room and I should stay out of everyones "sh!t". What should I do? Why is she so mad at me? I cleaned the general vicinity of the home, I didn't even go in her room. I asked her if she had a bad trip and she was like "No, but what you did ruined my day." What should I do?

Open Question: Interactive desktop backgrounds/wallpapers?

Hey everyone, I'm looking around for an interactive desktop background/wallpaper. Something to nice of spice up my wallpaper. I'm looking for a site that maybe carries a bunch that I can look through, or if there's on in particular, idk. I'd really like to find one where maybe I can use a bunch of different designs to build one that's interactive. For example, like a program that lets you build a room or something... and if you put in a fireplace it will light and every that... put in a radio that I can click to play music, stuff like that. Maybe that last bit of idea was too extreme for anything people have built yet... but you never know. Thanks in advance everyone, -Z
