I visited the eye doctor recently and was going to purchase new glasses. I have a vision plan through my employer, additional vision insurance through my wife’s employer, and a small benefit as part of my basic health insurance.
The sales person informed me I could only use one insurance, as per insurance regulations. This came as a surprise, since my wife visited the same office six months ago and had no problem using her primary and secondary insurance sources.
Is this person being truthful?

Is vision insurance like regular health insurance in that you may not be covered if you already have glasses?

It’s hard to get health insurance if you have an existing problem. Is it also hard to get vision insurance like this?

Why don’t liberals question how much greenhouse gas and pollution is released during hollywood action movie?

Never hear a word about that. It’s a completely unnecessary release of huge amounts of crap right into the air….not a word about it.

Is there a website that has gardening plans with pictures?

I’m a beginner at gardening and don’t know what flowers and plants look nice together or how to plant them. So I am looking for a site that has examples of gardens and points out what kind of flowers and plants were used. I found Burpee.com which sells a kit but I am looking for something more detailed. It doesn’t even need to be a plant selling company. Or maybe a web site of experts that i can send a picture to and could label the flowers.

Would these tools get my Garden done?

I want to start a garden from grass using only hand tools. I will add rich dirt, manure and whatever i need also. But i plan on using these tools in this order…Do you think i should add others?

1. Hand twist cultivator (till dirt/grass up)
2. Garden scraper/straight hoe (break up grass clumps)
3. Spading fork (loosen deep soil)
4. Hand Cultivator (clean excess grass)
5. Action hoe (remove uncoming weeds)

Will decorative rock work as a gravel substitute under a backyard shed?

I’m planning on building a tool/garden shed in our back yard. Instead of burying posts, I’m planning on building it on skids.

Most of the plans I’ve seen for sheds resting on skids call for an inch or so of gravel under the skids. I assume this is to provide drainage so the skids won’t rot resting on wet ground.

However, we’ve got a lot of decorative quartz garden rock that the previous owner used as ground cover under a ground-level patio. We were planning on just taking that to the dump, but is there any reason not to use that instead of gravel under the skids?
Just to clarify…there’s no slab where the shed will be – there’s just dirt right now.

The previous owners had a ground-level deck in another portion of the back yard which as been removed. Under the decking they had put down plastic and the decorative rock on top of the plastic, presumably to prevent anything from growing.

The decorative rocks are roughly 1/2″ x 1″ in size – larger than gravel. But I’m wondering if these rocks are small enough still to serve the same function and if there’s any other reason I’m not aware of that gravel would be a better alternative.

Thanks!

Any ideas for a birthday present for my grandfather?

My grandfather will be turning 70 in September. My mom and I are planning a surprise party for him but we also want to get him a really nice gift. We are thinking of spending like $300 maximum on the gift. He is really special to me. He has everything which is why this gift idea is difficult. He likes, cooking, carpentry, gardening, cars, baking. He doesn’t like museums, restaurants, nothing tht requires him to be around a lot of people for long time. He has every gardening and tool imaginable to man…he has almost every baking machine. He’s Cuban…he loves music and old movies. We were thinking about a video camera or a nice watch…but does anyone have any other ideas?? I would really appreciate it! Thanks

Best way to clear a space for a garden?

There’s an area in my backyard that’s dilapidated and covered with weeds. I want to clear it out and plant a garden there, but have no idea how to go about it. I’ve been planning to just dig until all the grass is gone. All the tools I really have are a shovel, a hoe, and a rake. Is there a special way I could go about it to make it easier? Is there a product I could use to help get rid of the weeds? Any advice on the process is appreciated.

Is it legal for people not to take care of their land- field btw- if it affects neighbours land ?!!?!?

Our land was sold to us to build a house on, and the people still own a large field behind this.We are wondering whether they are under any legal obligation to look after their land as it is green field and SSSI.

Large varieties of wildlife live there such as muntjack deer and pheasants, along with other birds too. Around a decade ago the field had trees with ploughed land that was well cared for, however it has now deteriorated and has several young trees growing and taking up the land. These block out our light in the evenings and are ruining our view. There are several nettle and bramble patches which continually grow into our garden and we have spotted non-members of the family wandering around the field before which obviously poses a security risk for us. There is also waste materials such as old garden tools and rubbish that has been flytipped because they so rarely look after their land.

On occasion we have been forced to take action, as cutting down some of the young trees and therefore trespassing on their property as it affects our land. There are large trees which are not trimmed and we hear creaking noises in high wind which is a sign there could be deadfalls in the night, which would damage our house.

The value of our house has gone down because of the field but they have continually refused to sell it to us, despite us offering to pay approximately £2000 above the market price as they are convinced that despite the TWO things that would make them unable to ever build on the land (green field and SSSI status) that they will gain planning permission.

Is there any way we can force them to take care of their land, since it is affecting us by blocking out our light, causing unwanted weeds to grow in our garden, allowing vermin such as rats to get into our garden since they can live happily in the field, trespassers being able to get into our garden etc. or can we use any legalities to get them to let us buy the field?

Many thanks

How would you interpret this dream?

Ok so this dream really freaked me out and made me quite upset.

I’m not sure what town I was in but I was driving down a road surrounded by forests. I arrived at my destination, a white modern looking building. I think it was supposed to be a University but I’ve never seen one like it before. There were huge groups of people surround the two main entrances.

They weren’t trying to get in, they were trying to keep the people that were in from escaping. Apparently there was some sort of virus, I’m not too sure. But I snuck into the building and rescued three people who weren’t infected. I got them two my car which was pretty far away in the parking lot.

When I got there I realized I had lost my boots (VERY WEIRD) so I went back to look for them and one of the people I rescued came with me (turns out it was my brother)
So we go back, and somehow my shoes just appear on my feet and I was confused but went back to the car anyway. When I got back to the car the other two were in the backseat about to eat candy and I slapped it out of their hands because apparently thats what was making people insane. I didn’t realize at the time but my brother ate a doughnut but seemed fine. I drove back to my house and we were all inside.

I saw this man outside and he had a wolverine and he was trying to sick it on my neighbors dog but the dog ran into my neighbors yard. So then he wanted to sick it on my dog. Which is something I couldn’t allow. And when I turned around my brother was crazy and he had a garbage with and anchor in it and he was planning on dropping it on my dog.

I was VERY emotional by this point. I didn’t have a choice but to get a weapon to stop my brother so I took this weird knife from a draw– it was very knife like it was more like a gardening tool. I scratched him in the chest like 15 times and his face just turned to horror. he dropped the anchor and just stood there. I ran outside and did the same thing to the wolverine guy and he dropped to the ground.

I ran back inside and just looked into my brothers face. I was hysterically crying by this point and asked him if he wanted me to not make it hurt anymore, and he said no (he wanted to suffer). I was crying so so much and felt so sick. I did what I did because it was the only way to stop him. And then I woke up.

What is your interpretation of this dream?? It was really upsetting for me.
Also I’m very close to my brother, so this was very emotional for me.

Is This a Smart Idea (best answer awarded)?

Okay. My immediate family is not very large (mum, dad, 2 brothers). I usually save up money for Christmas starting in November. From the first of November to however long in December, my entire paycheck goes towards Christmas ($125 a week).

My thing is, with the economy falling down the drain, I know it’s not wise to spend so much money. I usually have around $500-600 total to spend. Last year I spent almost all of that.

I usually get mum some form of sapphire jewelry and this year I was hoping to get her a necklace. Thing is that the necklace retails for $190 AFTER the sale price. I might be able to get the jeweler to go down another $40, but not much more than that.

For dad, I intend to get him a new gold watch (he’s had the same watch since the 80s). I’m looking at one that’s about $120.

I always get really nice clothes for my older brother (A.E attire) and that usually runs be about $150+. For my oldest brother…well I don’t really care. Last year he got a hoodie that was originally for my other brother, but I had to give him something.

And since my older brother is about to be engaged to his girlfriend, I want to get her a piece of nice jewelery, too (something with her birthstone, probably in the $100+ range).

Here’s my question: Is this a smart idea? They say that not many people will be spending so much money this year, but I always go all out.

Too bad the only things I want is a BC and a regulator for my scuba unit. I told everyone NOT to get either one for me because they cost so much ($200-$300 each). I’ll save up my own money for that.

As I asked, though. Would any of you spend this type of money nowadays? Or would you be a little more frugal with your shopping?

Do answer! I will choose a best answer at the end!
And yes. I do live at home (forgot that was relavent X3). My last year living with my mum. :3

What shoes/accessories would go with this dress (Pic inc)?

Got this dress in white to wear this weekend. Not too sure what shoes to wear with it:

http://www.allsaints.com/product/?searchtext=beaujolais&area=&category_id=&sub_category_id=&sale=0&preorder=0&vintage=0&new=0&Size=&price_id=0&page=1&position=2&all=1&prod_desc_id=5051214386195

I have a nice pair of bright blue ones which i usually wear along with a black dress and the sequin Union jack bag from accesorize but not sure if the dress is too white to wear with it. Also have a nice high pair of pale gold heels or the faith leopard heels with the red sole.

Think they would all go, but looking for more inspiration about what colour shoes to wear with the dress and what jewellery/bag to wear with it!

1 carat diamond earrings price?

I am looking to buy a pair of 1 carat diamond earrings for my girl for x-mas, and am trying to not wait until the last minute. I have done a little bit of looking at the mall at the little jewelry stores, although I am pretty sure that they are not the place to buy from. They all had two grades of earrings, better and best. I am not very knowledgable about this at all. I know there are grades and colors of diamonds, but all I remember them saying was better and best quality. In those terms, I guess I am looking to get the best quality diamonds. I want them to be princess cut and in white gold. What is a good price to pay for earrings like this? The shops were anywhere from $2400 to $3000. Any suggestions on where to buy from? Is online shopping a horrible idea, considering I am completely uneducated in diamond shopping? I live in New Jersey just outsde of Philadelphia if that matters. Is it worth waiting until closer to x-mas for better sales? Any info is greatly appreciated.

An American girl was visiting England and was invited to a party. While dancing with a stuffy monocled Englishman, her necklace became unfastened and slipped down the back of her dress, She asked the Englishman to retrieve the jewellery piece for her.
He was very embarassed but wishing to comply with the request he reached cautiously down the back of her gown.
”I’am terribly sorry,” he said, ‘but I can’t seem to reach it.”
”Try further down.” she said.
At this point, he noticed that he was being watched by everyone in the room which made him feel most uncomfortable and he whispered to the girl. “I feel such a perfect ass”
‘Never mind that!” she cried. “Just get the necklace.”

I’ll go fishing, hunting, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don’t you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?”

Great ideas for things to add to new soil/garden?

I plan on building a small garden this Spring, and wanted to know what are some really good tips for helping my plants flourish? I want to plant some vegetables (carrots, radishes, tomatoes – nothing too complicated,) some herbs and some plants and flowers. I only know about egg shells. All advice welcome. It took forever for my herbs to grow last year, and most weren’t large enough to be edible. My vines, however, flourished, but my flowers barely bloomed.

how to separate rocks from garden soil?

i am cleaning out an old planting area where the previous owner had bushes and used red rocks for mulch.

What is the best way to prepare a garden that is made of clay soil?

I just recently moved to Texas and our house has little landscaping in the front. I planned a garden, but as I started to dig, it was hard clay. After doing some reading, I went out and bought organic compost and sphagnum peat moss. I was going to break up about 6 inches of the clay and apply the compost and peat moss and mix it in. Does anyone have suggestions? I don’t mind the work, but I’m curious if I’m going about this the right way and if so, do I need to water the soil or just let it sit? How long should I wait until I start planting?

NFT questions about Greenhouse stuff?

Hi, I’m not an English native speaker, so I’m having a trouble reading a magazine from Europe. So, so will someone help me?

In the article I am reading, it is talking about “wide spanned greenhouse”. “Wide spanned greenhouse” is as same as “wide span greenhouse”, right?
and the sentence is followed by the sentence starting with a phrase “inside each span”, I can’t understand the word “span”.
This “span” is the same meaning as “a single-span greenhouse”?

Another sentence also confused me.
“Empty harvested gutters are hosed clean and via a cart above the drop are transported to the other side of ….”

I can’t understand “via a cart” and “above the drop”.
Cart like a shopping cart? or a technical term?
What is “drop”?

Thank you so much in advance.
