    wigs to donate for Cancer patients locally?

    I have a loved one starting chemo soon. Can you or anyone suggest salons that may be good for thinning hair or thinning out a wig? I'm searching the forums but not finding much.

    Pool table assembly for $250?

    Anyone know of a professional pool table assembler in SOMD that will re-assemble a pool table in a home for $250? I had a table disassembled for $200 in another state and moved it here. According to everything I've read, the re-assembly should be $225-250 and take about an hour of two...

    Financial Advisors/Consultants

    I don't use a financial advisor to directly manage my assets. I'm just not comfortable with that. I use a financial advisor as a sounding board. I do my own research. But acknowledging that there are other people who know more than me, before I move money around, I run my plan by my...

    Need a Handyman

    It's been a while since there was a handyman recommendation post but I figured I'd build on this. I'm looking for a handyman to help us out - we're near La Plata. Looking for help with things like powerwashing the deck/windows, tiling, drywalling, patching/painting walls, hanging wall...

    rose hill rd construction

    They have piles of culvert pipe, the land they're clearing is away from the road, and they have a silk fence all along the land. It looks like they may be dropping in quite a few homes, starting at the end furthest from route 6.

    Statistics

    :howdy: Okay, so you've identified your population (N) as 500,000. But you haven't identified your sample size (n). You say 100 of them do something. Is 100=n and thus all of units in your population (100%) are doing this thing in year one? The same question applies to year two - what's n...

    Nail Pops?

    Depends on your builder but ours was very clear that nail pops would be fixed. They wanted to come out one time at the end of the 1 year to fix everything. Said that most of the nail pops would come out after one year (after a change of seasons) and it was easiest for them to fix all the pops...

    Urine Smell?

    Rug Doctor's Odor Remover I've found to be the best. You can find it at Safeway among other places. Zep's Pet Stain remover is the best I've found for getting out spots and pretty good for getting out oder. You can find Zep at Home Depot.

    Cruise!!!

    From what I hear Alaskan glacier cruises are terrific. The earliest you'd want to go is mid May. If you're interested in going to Europe, a cruise is a great way to go these days. You're paying American dollars for lodging and meals vs. flying to Europe and getting killed on currency...

    Hughes Net internet service

    Go with Hughes. It's worth it. The daily caps never caused a problem for me and the speed is significantly faster than dialup.

    Hughes Net internet service

    I had it for a few years before cable came out to my area. The HughesNet was much better than dialup.
