1. QUESTION:
   Where is a good place to go for patio furniture? Online or store is okay.?

   • ANSWER:
     Sam's Club if you are a member. Wal-Mart & Lowe's and also, Home Depot. They are all reasonably priced. If you want to go cheaper...try Big Lots. My favorite is Yard Sales. People are always getting rid of their old stuff cheap. My whole house is decorated in early "thrift store". But, you would not know it to see it!

   Inexpensive Patio Furniture Places Online?
   Looking for patio furniture, need a couch and coffee table, a 4 or 6 person table with umbrella and 2 lounge chairs and a firepit for out backyard. I want it to look fancy but not have that fancy pricetag. Anyone got any ideas? I was looking at WalMart but I am not sure about the quality, I dont want it to all fall apart within 6 months to a year.
   My def of cheap is everything for under 00, now my husband would say everything for about 0.

   • ANSWER:
     Online probably going to be expensive. Even if you find the furniture cheap, the shipping will be outreageous. Also, you have to define your definition of cheap. Best bet is to wait til end of season when everything goes on sale. I found the best prices at Boscov's. I got a 0 set for 0. It only included table and 6 chairs though. Good luck

5. QUESTION:
   my mom is paranoid about our patio furniture being stolen?? (help!)?
   My mom has been talking about getting some new patio furniture, so i went searching online for something nice. I thought i had found two perfect things for our smallish backyard/patio, but when i told her, she said that we couldn't get it because it would be stolen.

   She acts like this all the time. Always negative and paranoid. Do YOU think that it would be stolen? We live in a VERY safe/rich-er (ER!) neighborhood. haha. I suppose she's concerned because the one i showed her was wicker, and it would be easier to steal than other things.

   This just bothers me. Is there anything i can say to change her mind? It would be so perfect to put in back. I just want to know what you think. I seriously doubt someone would steal it. Ugh.

Does anyone know a business in or around Clarksville, TN that sells vinyl straps for repairing patio furniture?

8. QUESTION:
   Problems With My Newly Built Patio?
   I just built a patio with cement pavers and builders sand. I followed the directions I found online and from looks alone, it's a success. But, the sand in between the pavers will not settle. I have to sweep and blow off the patio almost daily and within a few hours there's sand stirred up everywhere. I've bought more sand and swept it into the spaces but it just sits there very loose. Why won't it settle? It's like I have a big sandy mess. I've not bothered to buy any patio furniture because it's not very pleasant being in a mess. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Thanks

   • ANSWER:
     You should use a polymeric sand instead of the regular sand. Polymeric will bond once wet and it will create a seal. It will also stay in place for you. Good luck!

So if someone could tell me who sings it or atleast where I could find the commercial online I would be greatful. Thanks.

      The song is "We Miss You", written by Bill Anderson before it was first recorded by Kitty Wells in 1962. The commercial song is by either Doyle Lawson & Quicksolver OR Thunder Creek; both, excellent blugrass groups.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know why people are so quick to tell you, "Oh, relationship problems? LEAVE! RUN! So not worth it!"

      That's the right answer if you're immature and can't handle a real relationship, or if you're just a coward. Yes, sometimes relationship problems are so serious that there simply is no other solution but to end it...however, your situation doesn’t warrant such a drastic decision.

      Some of your boyfriend's behavior seems wrong, no doubt about that. But what you should realize is that before you try and change someone else's behavior, you must first correct your own. In your post, it didn't sound like you've been very assertive about your feelings, and this is exactly what you need to do. You need to have a real conversation with your boyfriend. You need to be firm and direct - without sounding judgmental. This can be difficult sometimes because of the emotional aspects involved. You may want to really rip into him, or you may want to bawl your eyes out while accusing him of being unfair…but if you want a positive reaction from him, then that’s not the way to go.

      Some common examples of things you should avoid saying are, "You ALWAYS put me down" and, "You NEVER let me have what I want." These things will make you sound like you're judging him and calling him a bad person, and they also just make you sound whiny. I would suggest instead that you read this article (it’s super short, don’t worry) and take it seriously. It's a simple and very effective way of communicating your feelings.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-statement

      I’d also like to point out something else in your post: “…Telling him id like the tattoo or lap top more then anything.Well to cut it short he said that basically they were stupid things i shouldnt want...” - I’m just wondering if that’s what he really meant to say, or if that’s how you perceived it? It’s possible that you may have been upset and misinterpreted his true meaning. Next time something like this occurs, assert yourself. Don’t make assumptions or accusations, just talk to him and make sure that what he’s saying is what you’re hearing.

      Basically, it comes down to communication…it always does. You simply cannot have a healthy relationship without it. I believe that you two can work this out…so get to it.

13. QUESTION:
    I'm moveing to Yakota Air Base Japan with my family?
    I am moveing to Yakota air base with my family and I keep going online to try to find info on the housing there but I cant find any pictures of the base housing at lest not the garden district. I was curious what they looked like? How big the houses were, Like I was hopeing to find out if they are two stories or one, if the back patio is covered or not how big are the yards. and also basic things inside the house. Because I want to make sure all my furniture will fit because I have one little boy and a pack rat husband so we have a lot. So I was just curious what the garden houses are like and if anyone has pictures of can describe it to me in detail?

    • ANSWER:
      Yokota is mostly TOWERS. very few townhomes or free standing units. in fact the free standers are limited to Senior Officer Personnel. as in O5 and up.

      King size beds will NOT fit oversized furniture will be a VERY tight squeeze.

      If you only have one child..you will either get a 2 or 3 BR tower apartment. depends on his paygrade. Also the waiting list can be very long. Unless he is very senior you most likely will not qualify for a Townhome. besides.. the tower apartments are bigger, more open and laid out nicer.
