Question by lindyboo: What’s a fair price to pay someone to help us move? Can’t afford a moving company =(?
We had a friend in mind to help but he is not available on moving day. So we went on Craig’sList and found a guy offering services of, “we will move you, cut your grass, lay tile, etc.” So what’s a fair amount to pay?

The move is only a few blocks (3.22 miles to be exact, thx mapquest =) We’re just moving to get an apt with 2 bathrooms.. yay!! =D Our heaviest items are a big wood desk, loveseat & recliner, 2 dresser-chests, a 20-inch TV, one full bed, one twin bed-both without head- or footboard, and a home gym (that’s not heavy just kinda awkward & clanky).

We don’t have kitchen / dining table & chairs- only a card table & fold-up chairs.. so sad LOL. So the rest of it will be computer stuff, clothes, groceries.. in other words a lot of crap in boxes & plastic tote-boxes & drawers.

Of course we’ll cover gas.. depending on how big his truck is it might take several trips…. so we’ll do gas and buy him a good lunch… How much cash though? Should we do it by the hour? Like would $ 17-$ 20/hour be fair? And what if he has someone helping him? Do we do that amount x however many helpers he brings? Ouch.. If we keep on taking on money, we could just do the moving company way?
Krisco, funny – it’s also me & my fiance! That’s what I’m saying-we had a friend who was gonna do it but won’t be in town on moving day. He’s the only friend we can think of – we’re new to the area and busy students and haven’t made many new friends.

So the guy we’re considering is NOT a friend.. he’s just a guy trying to make $ on Craig’sList. I don’t think he’d do several hours work for pizza & beer. He might be unemployed, trying to feed his family or sumpin. I wish, boy how I wish =D he would do it for pizza & beer..

Best answer:

Answer by Krisco
Honestly I always buy everyone dinner (pizza) and beer and that always does it. Gas money maybe. Think about it.. what would you expect from someone?
The last time I moved it was my fiance and I and two of our friends and a U-Haul. It took us about 4 hours total and we bought everyone pizza and once we got everything in the house, we played drinking games and that was it.
All I can say is they know who to call if they need help.

Question by Slow Joe: Dove hunting is coming in less that a month, need help finding the perfect chair?
I usually take a folding chair, ice chest, bag for equipment, case of shells and two shotguns. It wasn’t a problem until the crossing over a canal gave way so we cant drive across, now we have to carry everything and we only have one 4 wheeler so some of us backpack and carry our stuff to the camp site. Is there a chair, doesn’t matter what size smaller the better, that is also a cooler and maybe folds down into a bag or backpack? That would definitely help making one less trip. Oh and buying a four wheeler will have to wait a few years, lol, the wife doesn’t want another bill right now.
Yup good ol Rio Grande Valley hunting. We are crazy to be out in 100 degree weather with humidity as high all day.

Best answer:

Answer by Shogun
Sounds like some of that Rio Grande hunting I used to do. Here is a backpack chair that will hold a small igloo cooler. Be safe.

Edit: The group I hunted with would pull up in pickups and the first guy that could drop a dove in the bed of their truck got 5 bucks from everyone else. Wish I could have those days back, and some of my old friends too.

Question by nebbygirl: I’m curious so help me out please.?
I’m wondering if this is something unique to the city of Pittsburgh or if people in other cities do this. In Pittsburgh people use lawn chairs and folding chairs, as well as other things, to save their on-street parking spaces, usually in front of their houses. It’s kind of an unwritten rule that if a chair is saving a spot you don’t remove it. My question is does anybody else this? Thanks!

Question by Sk84thegold: I need to shorten this by 8 -18 words, help!?
Colorful bowls of cereal line white tables surrounded by black, plastic chairs. A line of preschoolers crawl into their seats, ready to eat. Spoons are pulled off the table as children are reminded that they must pray first. A song is sung with folded hands and little fingers make a dash for the spoons in the middle of the table. Milk sloshes out of bowls and juice spills across the floor. A two-year old looks up at me for a napkin, knowing that if he pulls out his from under his cup, his juice will also be gone.
The kids finish their breakfast and line up again, little hands holding onto a rope. One boy lets go and runs off down the hall, disappearing into another room where he is found playing with play-doh that was left on a table. He’s taken back to the line as the children walk down the colorful halls painted with forest scenes. The rope is picked up by teachers as the kids run into their classroom for free play. Plastic tools pound on a workbench as bins of toys are poured out onto the floor. All seemed calm as music played in the background. But soon enough, screaming and crying commenced. Amari had bitten his cousin, Brandon had pushed over Charlize and Serenity’s towers, and Malachi was throwing potato head parts at people. The light blue walls encasing a room of toys and happy children had given way to what for some would be a nightmare. For the teachers from the (5 words), this was a daily occurrence.
The children were given five minutes to clean up and line up to go to the bathrooms. Somehow the room was spotless as the rope went out the door. The children went four at a time into the bathrooms, told to hurry for we had to get to the bible story. But hurry they didn’t. Giggles were heard as sinks overflowed with soapy bubbles and a little boy drenched his head from underneath the sink. And that was just the beginning. I can’t understand why the teachers from (2 words) love their job, but for some reason I loved it too.
It’s 368 words right now and it needs to be about 350. Please help.
Thanks everybody! I got it down to 352

Answer by Aunty Joyce
Take “ready to eat” off the second sentence and “little hands holding onto a rope” from second paragraph. Nice writing. Change the tense in your very last sentence, so that they are both the same tense. (present or past) (love, loved)

Question by The Banana Tree: Furniture-less in an unfurnished home. Help!?
I just moved into a 3-bdrm place until school starts (September). The place is unfurnished. Other than a fold up plastic desk, office chair, and minimal kitchen supplies I have nothing else. I’m collecting cardboard boxes for clothes (I have hangers for the closet, but boxes for everything else). I currently have $ 20 in my bank account to cover groceries and furniture until the next payday (check comes on Friday, the bank’s hold on it will be released by the Tuesday afterwords)

What’s the best way to spend my money? I figure I’ll need at least $ 7-$ 10 for food, because my fridge is almost empty.

I really need something to sleep on… is there anything I can do to make the floor/sleeping bag situation more comfortable?

Answer by xlneena2
Paint the desk and dresser the same color white as the cubbies. I would try to do a blue and white gingham a little darker than the walls for contrast and red piping to match the covers. Gingham is not necessarily a country thing…but if gingham is not your thing…then use a stripe in the contrasting colors. Goo Luck!!

question : Can you help me with my story site ?
Chapter OneEine eerie whisper murmured flit between the trees above us as we trooped in our folding chairs, waiting for sunrise. Tristan’s open eyes staring into the darkness, glazed by the continuous veil of the moon that fell through the open slots in the canopy. My fingers caressed the pale blade of a bloody machete burgundy, which I froze on the puddle, which was spotted in the semi-lit candles, gazed on the forest floor. A crazy black face in my direction when I looked into the murky waters of the River. I tore into my chair and shook his machete, trying, my throat sore. My breathing accelerated, my heart pounded, but my eyes were on peaceful Tristan’s body, draped like a beautiful piece of fabric, calm and quiet fixiert.Ein golden glow faded rose majestically above the horizon and the moon in a dark sky. The forest hummed a steady beat, the melody was the cooing of distant birds. Everything was awakened flies buzzed feverishly on Tristan, and I quickly took my hat, crazy strikes over the neck, “Tristan … Wake”. I muttered. His head hung back, draped his body anymore, but was stiff and macabre. I whimpered, “Brother, we must go,” his blood stained my hands and clothes, and I looked at her, confused. Contorted fingers, veins out, I threw my hands up in anger at skeletal trees, which threatened to interrogate me, “What?” No answer. Only birds fluttered among the branches. I stared at her, excited (yahoo Q & A this block is c 0 cked & I do not know it raw in a way!) My head and saw the green tarp that we had set ourselves the night before. I pulled him from the oak arm and dragged her to Tristan’s body, wrapping it in plastic cocoon. “Yes, brother, stay asleep, I’ll carry you -. Because I was your burden, now you are mine, but you must keep your promises They told me you would protect me would always be with me Can not tell me .. go out alone, I could be something stupid … so I will not do it without you. “*** Ok, so it’s everything I’ve written. It’s called schizophrenia and a mental patient and clinically insane killing girl, people in their village. She lives in northern Georgia in 1940ish her family are Ossetians. Their village and the law condemns them to death for their murders, but her mother claimed that her and her older brother, Tristan, would run away, and that they have the woods together, so they move would not be killed. But she kills his brother one night for no reason (just because they do not understand death, and not as I say, what to do from him.) Then people will start from the village to hide from the Germans, who came into the war. These people can find it and … I do not know what will happen: S please help Best Answer:

issues by Amy : to help the wedding! Since we wanted to go to the altar?
Hello! I have a bit of a problem, I would like help with. Here’s the thing: We are most likely (since its free and we can not afford to find another place), will marry in one of our churches. The fact is Mormon churches arent really set up for weddings, because they tend to marry in the temple. Therefore, we have 2 options:-For those who have never been to a Mormon church, the banks (or what has always called theyre) with 2 short “sections” of the side walls (usually about 4 adults) sets and a large part in middle. Therefore there are 2 courses, but no center aisle. It is a walk in the very front, and there is a short walk from the front wall. Normally looks kinda like this top on the right (but much nicer and ours is a bit bigger I think) http://www.allaboutmormons.com/mormon_images.php?gallery=inside-mormon-chapel If we do that, it was this space that we at the altar? I think we would look good on that front, because there is plenty of room upstairs and a microphone. I do not know how we would be up there. So we were at the reception in the gym (they have all fitness centers, basketball some carpet play some wood) and have tables set up and ready to move from the ceremony in the gym or -. We, the ceremony has in the gym also and have just set up folding chairs so that everyone is outside or hallwaysor where afterwards, while some volunteers (mothers, etc.) and tables. Then they’ll all come back later when they have set up for reception. Maybe a few pictures while the tables are listed dich.Was think we should do? Thank you for the first answer, but I do not think the gym is large enough to be split into two halves. I wanted it to thhis a building, we saw the party to be at my aunts lake house nearby, and I did not want to really really been burned in the middle of her old and ugly haha good idea to use though:) Best answer:

response megans_spirit

Just out of curiosity, your band happen, a complete fitness room with sliding walls and have it cut into two halves? if it .. You can set your party in one half and the other half to the reception. maybe your stack house had a larger multi-purpose room? if not, perhaps you may want the ceremony in the garage, or perhaps in another room in the chapel? that is, if you are a small guest list. if not, you can just choose to walk and run, or you can get out of hand, door thats through the microphone. Whatever you choose, im sure will look great! Congratulations!

Question by mrs.v: My puppy loves this nasty chair HELP!?
I have a 5 month old terrier/shi tzu mix. She’s been sleeping in the fold up camping chair with a mexican blanket piled up in it. The chair STINKS to high heaven. We put it outside and hosed it down but it still REEKS! Poor pup keeps pacing around whining and scratching at the door to get at the nasty chair. She’s so distressed! Am I supposed to wean her off the chair? Or will she eventually forget about it?? Thanks in advance!
I don’t think its the blanket. It’s been washed and now she’s not very interested. Wouldn’t a new chair also carry the same smell? Is it her smell? It didn’t smell like pee it just…. STUNK…. I don’t know hopefully I figure something out!

Question by Amy Clark: I wrecked their garage door~~ please help asap!?
My grandparents are out of town this weekend and I broke their garage door! Yesterday I was outside with my kids and we had been sitting in the garage and driveway playing.. I was sitting in one of those fold-up camping chairs. Anyways we went into the house for lunch and I thought I had moved the camping chair in the garage all the way. Well later I went out and realized that the door wasn’t shut all the way and that it was ‘stopped’ on the arm of the chair. I thought all garage doors had a thing on them where if something obstructed them from going down they would go back up and the light flashes? (This door has a sensor along the bottom- but the arm stuck out above it). Anyways- when I put the garage door up I realized the top is bent!!!!!!!!!!!! The ‘arm’ that connects the chain’motor track to the actual center of the top of the garage door is completely bent to the side and the door won’t close all the way. They will be home tonight around dinner time- CAN I FIX IT??????

Best answer:

Answer by Red
I’m having a hard time visualizing what you’re talking about, so I’ll just say this.

Can you fix it? Yes.
Can you fix it before they come home? Probably not.

Call a garage door repair guy, tell your grandparents what happened and that it was a mistake, and that you’re having someone come out and you’ll pay to fix it since it was YOUR mistake.

Question by IT’S A BOY!!: HELP!!! wedding ideas and advice?
ok so i have a few more questions:
1)MUSIC- need ideas for the dollar dance, father daughter(that would also be apporiate for the son and mother to dance too at the same time

2)we are having metal, folding chairs for the ceremony and i have bundle of flowers with raffia tied around it, would that look ok on the chairs(since it would be more in the middle hanging, or should i just put something on the ground

3)its an outdoor wedding in a pasture, its fall and im using browns, orange and yellow, what kind of shoes can i go with
( no heels, and pics would be great)

4) after the ceremony, walking up the aisle, would footloose be ok or should that be for when we enter the reception?

Best answer:

Answer by chrystalique
1. I’d say ask the DJ for help with the dollar dance song options. As for the father/daughter & mother/son dance there is a great Celine Dion song but I don’t remember the name of it (the DJ should know).

2. I wouldn’t put anything on the metal chairs because you don’t want to highlight that they are metal chairs.

3. Strappy flat sandals that match your outfit like the greek olympian style sandals that tie across your foot and around your ankle.

4. I’d save Footloose for the reception.

Question by RIL: help! chair rental dilemma for wedding reception?
I have the hall for my wedding reception booked. it was a great price for the location, unfortunetly the chairs provided by the lodge are an eye sore! this is the place:http://www.laparks.org/dos/reservations/grace_photoalbum.htm
I’m having a summer wedding, my dress is ivory and the bridesmaids will be wearing yellow. A friend suggested renting chair covers w/sashes but the prices are ridiculous! We’re expecting 150 guests and the most affordable rate so far is .75 per chair…crazy right?!! Another friend suggested renting wood folding padded chairs. It is more cost effective however, now it comes down to choosing a color. The tables will be covered with floor lenght ivory silk linens. These chairs are available in white and natural wood, i’m not sure what would look best! Would it look tacky to use these for an indoor reception?

Question by craigsgirly47: Help on decorating the chairs for weddng?
All I could find to rent for my wedding this summer are white metal folding chairs with white seats. I’ve not seen the chairs, I don’t know if I will before the wedding since I’m renting them from out of town. I’m buying some 1.5″ wide ribbon and plan on just wrapping the top of each chair just once and then attaching some decoration on the back where the ends of the ribbon will meet. The ribbon is white, pink and green stripes. Any ideas on how much ribbon per chair would be needed, I’m guessing for an average size folding chair, and what to put for the decoration on the back? Links would be helpful too! Oh and it will be an outdoor wedding next to a waterfall. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Pink Denial
Can you return the ribbon? Honestly, this is something that none of your guests are going to notice, and so it’s a waste of your time to tie all these ribbons to the chairs, when the chairs will look perfectly fine as they are.

Question by Schmitt: I need help finding a camping chair?
I am looking for a camping chair that folds into a bag that reclines, has a footrest and headrest. I sat in one at a tailgate once and loved it. My husband is going to Iraq soon and needs a chair to have in his barracks that fits into a bag to store (not a folding chair). I want to get him this one that reclines with a footrest but also has a headrest tall enough to actually rest your head on (since what is the point of reclining if your head isn’t supported but i’ve found chairs without them)

your probably having trouble finding it because it’s not camping season. i have seen those at k-mart, walmart. target, etc, but not in the winter. maybe try their websites, or a sporting goods website like the sports authority, modells, or bob kislins, because the stores probably don’t have them in stock right now
