Resolved Question: Need some ideas for a FUN backyard bbq reception?

We are getting married at a different location near a waterfall but thought about having a backyard bbq for a reception where we live. We live on my fiance's grandparents farm. They have a really pretty red barn and we though about having our reception next to it. Plus they have an orchard next to the barn which we think MIGHT be in bloom at the time. Here is what we kind of planned on having so far for our reception: FOOD Hamburgers (may substitute the burgers for brisket - looking at the price difference on that at the moment), Hot Dogs, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Green Salad with choice of homemade Italian or Ranch dressing, chips, dip, maybe a veggie tray, lots of sweets including the bride and grooms cake. DECORATIONS Maybe use some real flowers from a grocery store for the tables. We thought about decorating mason jars and putting the flowers inside those. Then I would probably use silk flowers to dress up the black wooden fence around the barn. They have some pretty decent ones at hobby lobby and they always have sales on that kind of stuff. We also thought of using those big galvonized metal looking tubs to put ice/drinks in. I think I will either use gingham print table covers or I might just go with some other solid color. I really don't want to use white because it is so overused but I don't want to be tacky either. We also planned on using bales of hay (they have a loft full of hay that we could use) for guests to sit on. We will probably still set up a couple of tables as well though. ENTERTAINMENT I think this is where we need the most help. We don't really have the money for a live band or anything so we will probably just do the ipod thing. Should we set up games for people to play? I.e. horseshoes? Any ideas are appreciated! I would love to hear some new, fresh ideas or anything unique. We really don't want the whole "formal" thing going on. I could care less if people make toasts and I actually prefer they don't lol. Also we don't want dancing either. We really just want something more laid back.Thanks to everyone for your ideas! I agree with the bales of hay. I will probably find some blankets to put down over the bales so it won't hurt to sit on them :) As for the food, I am trying to think of something different than burgers for sure. That is why I thought of brisket and sausages would be good too. We definitely wouldn't have the money to do grilled fish or shrimp. We're hoping to keep the food budget at approx $200-300. Were estimating 40 people to show up. And a bonfire would be a fun idea! There is a pond nearby where we usually build a fire and I thought maybe for the guests that stay late (probably our closests friends) we would do a bonfire with smores! more

I'm looking for my first barrel horse. I've got a Dressage horse who loves to run when allowed to.. but I cant have a horse running like a maniac through a test.

Resolved Question: Shouldn't people, especially those who are about to retire read this?

THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR RETIREMENT For those among you who have more money than you will ever need, save your time and delete this email. For the rest of us who are still working with mortgages, children and grandchildren or retired living on a pension and or Social Security perhaps you will take a couple of minutes to read the proposed changes in the American tax system. Sharing this email with others can make a difference on November 4, 2008; for our citizens and our country. INTERESTING DATA JUST RECEIVED ON TAXES This is something you should be aware of so you don't get blind-sided. This is really going to catch a lot of families off guard. It should make you worry. Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election: CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income. DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama become president. The experts predict that higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward. INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax - 50% How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes. NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA * New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet * New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) * New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) * New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least.... * New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!  more

Audrey: Like what? Did you look the information up?Barb: Then prove me wrong. Many of the facts that I have found come from the "left" media CNN. Are you telling me THEY don't have their facts right? If so, then why are they left?jim,twa: That is such a pathetic & typical Democratic comment you just proved my point. McCain is NOT stalling, he IS doing his JOB. This is the SECOND time in recent weeks that McCain has put the U.S. first. The first time was when Hurricane Ike was coming in. But all obama thinks of is himself. Then of course he wouldn't want to do anything that would bring into the for front his involvment in being in the number 2 spot feeding at the trough of Fannie & Freddie would he? Just ANOTHER FACT I thought I would share!!What Democrats need to remember is that CONGRESS makes the laws & the President can ONLY do with what he is given. The Democratic Congress is NOT doing anything so as to make the Republicans look incompetent since it is an election year, when in FACT it is the DEMOCRAT led Congress that is NOT doing their job because THEY are incompetent.Your Horns Are Showing: You have GOT to be kidding!! The right is paranoid? The Democrats have leaped off the edge. They are sending hate mail to a Maine news anchor saying she is trying to look like Governor Palin & sending subliminal messages to viewers to get them to vote Republican! That is beyond paranoid, that is just plain INSANE!!!B Star: NOBODY is talking about race but YOU. As for New Orleans, look at YOUR governor & mayor. THEY left those people there by NOT doing their job & NOT using the funds provided SEVERAL times to fix & reinforce the levies. Hurricane Katrina was an act of God, NOT the Federal Government.I'm not upset in the least. There is ALWAYS things about people that we don't like, I am not different, but I have yet to find ANYONE who supports obama who can tell me why & what has he done in his 173 days to qualify him for the presidency. I don't want regurgitated campaign garbage either. I want "REAL" reasons & "REAL" experience & "REAL" qualifications.Annalies: are you serious? Higher taxes will NOT get more people health care. Who do you think will be paying for this universal health care? When businesses are taxed & MORE people are unemployed, who will they tax to pay for it then? You cannot simply raise taxes on people to get more money, because sooner or later, the people will have NO money, NO house, NO job, NO food, NO NOTHING!! Then what? Universal health care will no longer be there because there will be NOBODY left to tax to pay for it!uneyk: Do you honestly believe what you wrote? "WITH THE PEOPLE"? What does that mean? He was a "Community Organizer". what is that? Did he organize monday night bingo, community bake sales & rummage sales? WHAT is a community organizer? There are scarecrows in Kansas who know as much about foreign affairs, government & this country than obama does. What country have you ever been in where they have changed their official language to suit ANYONE but the people who make up that country? If I move to France, I should speak french, because THAT is their OFFICIAL language. If I move to Norway, I should speak Norwegian, because THAT is their OFFICIAL language. NO country should lose their OWN identity or language to make immigrants happy or make it easier for illegals. ENGLISH IS the "OFFICIAL" language of the United States & it ALWAYS should be & WILL be.Whiteside: NOW fifeldity matters to you? NOW? Did it bother you when Clinton did it? or how about Edwards or the multitude of other Democrats. Did it bother you THEN?? I'm sure it didn't, you were all just as blind, deaf & dumb to all of that as you are about facts concerning Obama. Every person who registers as a Democrat should receive one of those little statues of the three monkeys..."HEAR NO EVIL" "SEE NO EVIL" "SPEAK NO EVIL" because that is how you all are when it comes your candidates.ooopppsss! that should have read - fidelity more

Resolved Question: Has Anyone Else Raised and Trained a "Pet" Silver Fox From a Fur Farm?

A fur farm was closing, and all of their stock was for sale, a good friend of mine bought a young silver fox (black like a black cat with silvered hair tips) and raised her in the home. She walks on a leash with a cat harness and lounges on the couch and digs to China when in her outdoor enclosure. She's thinking of adding a neutered male platinum fox as a companion. Has anyone else raised and trained ranched foxes (Vulpes vulpes) like this? more

Resolved Question: Have you seen the tax comparisons of McCain vs. Obama?

If you have another one you would like to share, by all means, do it.... This is something you should be aware of so you don't get blind-sided. This is really going to catch a lot of families off guard. It should make you worry. Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election: CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.

How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward. INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA * New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet * New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) * New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating, gas, water, electricity) * New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least.... * New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third world countries.I HAVE A FEW MORE TO ADD... Nice work, (REALLY nice work) but I've got a few more to add 1.) Barack Obama proposes no federal income tax on retirees making under $40,000 a year. 2.) John McCain proposes a $5,000 tax credit for families who buy their own health insurance and (via medical savings accounts) making all remaining medical expenses tax deductible. 3.) John McCain plans to end the AMT 4.) John McCain plans to Cut The Corporate Tax Rate From 35 To 25 Percent. 5.) John McCain plans to Allow First-Year Deduction, Or “Expensing”, Of Equipment And Technology Investments 6.) John McCain plans to grant a tax credit to businesses Equal To 10 Percent Of Wages Spent On R&D 7.) John McCain Plans to end the ethanol subsidy and the sugar cane subsidy an use the money to create a $3 billion/year voucher program for low-income families. (this one has nothing to do with taxes. I just like to mentioning it) If you don't believe me, do your homework!U can check my facts, here :) http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?t=606311 more

Resolved Question: i can't figure it out please help!!?

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) How does her conversation with the stranger become meaningful for Elisa? They talk about their dogs, and she can see loves his dog as much as she loves hers. She can see he is passionate about his being in the outdoors, just as she is passionate about her gardening. She realizes she can fix the same things as he can, and views herself as his equal. She feels good because she is able to provide some work for him, which will mean he can have supper that night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) What do the conversations between Elisa and Henry reveal about their relationship? They spend much of their time completing separate tasks, only speaking to one another when forced to do so. They are kind to one another, and recognize each other's strengths. Henry is clearly a dominant husband, as he does not compliment his wife. Elisa hates living on their ranch, and longs for material things Henry cannot provide for her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Use the following quote from the story to answer this question: "Far ahead on the road Elisa saw a dark speck. She knew. She tried not to look as they passed it, but her eyes would not obey." What does Elisa think the speck in the road is? The pot she gave the stranger to fix for her. The gloves she let the stranger borrow. The chrysanthemums she let the stranger take to give a neighbor up the road. The hat she let the stranger have, to keep the sun off his neck as he traveled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) What message about society is Steinbeck sending through this story? Neighbors should share more with one another. Husbands should encourage their wives. Strangers cannot be trusted. Strength and power can be present in some of the most unexpected people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) All of the following phrases are used to descibe Elisa in the beginning of the story except: "Her face was lean and strong and her eyes were clear as water." "She wore heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she worked." "The chrysanthemum stems seemed too small and easy for her energy." "At the back of the house she dug in the can pile and found two old and battered aluminum saucepans." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) The stranger's purpose in the story is to show Elisa what great strength she has inside. remind Elisa she must be subservient to all men. remind Elisa how badly she wants to escape the life she lives. force Elisa to cook dinner at home rather than go to town for a night out with Henry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Why does Steinbeck chose to have Elisa act so strongly as she sits in her dress and rides into town with Henry, only to have her relax in the seat after passing the stranger on the road? Steinbeck wants to show Elisa cannot concentrate after she and Henry pass the stranger, because she feels so sorry for him. Steinbeck wants to show Elisa is so angry at the stranger, she can only relax to try to focus on have a nice time at dinner with Henry. Steinbeck wants to show that Elisa must learn her place in society, and that she should act accordingly. Steinbeck wants to show the role of women in general for that period of time, and that Elisa realizes she could never be the strong woman she has the actual potential to be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) How does Steinbeck show the simple lifestyles led in this story? Winter is ending at the ranch and there is much work for Elisa and Henry to complete. Elisa and Henry only go out to eat when there is a big sale on the farm to celebrate. At first Elisa will not give the stranger any work to do because she is afraid they cannot afford the extra expense. Elisa grows all of their fruits and vegetables while Henry raises their meat and poultry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Elisa agrees to let the stranger do some work for her because she feels sorry for him. he threatens her and she is afraid. she feels t more

Resolved Question: 6.04A The Chrysanthemums?

6.04A The Chrysanthemums Warning: There is a checkbox at the bottom of the exam form that you MUST check prior to submitting this exam. Failure to do so may cause your work to be lost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Elisa's greatest conflict is with herself, as she does not know how to show her strength and power. herself, as she does not know how to deal with Henry's dominance over her. other people, as she cannot take up for herself, and easily gets conned into doing things. herself, as she cannot wait to move from the ranch and into town. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) What is Elisa's first impression of the stranger on the wagon? She thinks he is there to swindle her out of some money. She thinks he will try to steal some of their cattle or vegetables. She views him as a way out of the life she wants to escape. She sees he is a big man who has been aged by the traveling life he leads rather than his actual age. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Use the following quote from the story to answer this question: "Far ahead on the road Elisa saw a dark speck. She knew. She tried not to look as they passed it, but her eyes would not obey." Why does Elisa "try not to look" at what she sees in the road? She knows the stranger has thrown her flowers down, and was only trying to get work from her. She knows the stranger could not fix her pot, so he threw it down the road. She knows it is a bird that has died, and cannot bring herself to look at it. She knows Henry will be angry with her if she brings attention to it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) How does Steinbeck show the simple lifestyles led in this story? Winter is ending at the ranch and there is much work for Elisa and Henry to complete. Elisa and Henry only go out to eat when there is a big sale on the farm to celebrate. At first Elisa will not give the stranger any work to do because she is afraid they cannot afford the extra expense. Elisa grows all of their fruits and vegetables while Henry raises their meat and poultry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) How does Elisa most closely match the concept of Pigasus? She admits at times she thinks she can actually fly. She considers her special gift of gardening to be her only way to showcase all her talent. She has great strength and power inside, but cannot seem to find a way to let it show. She desires to have talents and gifts she knows she can never have. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Use the following quote from the story to answer this question: "Far ahead on the road Elisa saw a dark speck. She knew. She tried not to look as they passed it, but her eyes would not obey." What does Elisa think the speck in the road is? The pot she gave the stranger to fix for her. The gloves she let the stranger borrow. The chrysanthemums she let the stranger take to give a neighbor up the road. The hat she let the stranger have, to keep the sun off his neck as he traveled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) Elisa agrees to let the stranger do some work for her because she feels sorry for him. he threatens her and she is afraid. she feels they have made a connection with each other. she wants him to leave quickly so Henry will not get jealous when he sees her speaking to a stanger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) What message about society is Steinbeck sending through this story? Neighbors should share more with one another. Husbands should encourage their wives. Strangers cannot be trusted. Strength and power can be present in some of the most unexpected people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) All of the following phrases are used to descibe Elisa in the beginning of the story except: "Her face was lean and strong and her eyes were clear as water." "She wore heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she worked." "The chrysanthemum stems seemed too small and easy for her energy." "At the back of the house she dug in the can pile and found two old and battered aluminum saucepans." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question 10 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) How does her conversation with the stranger become meaningful for Elisa? They talk about their dogs, and she can see loves his dog as much as she loves hers. She can see he is passionate about his being in the outdoors, just as she is passionate about her gardening. She realizes she can fix the same things as he can, and views herself as his equal. She feels good because she is able to provide some work for him, which will mean he can have supper that night. more
