Question about Myrtle Beach SC hotels.

By on May 30th, 2008

I’ve been to Myrtle Beach dozens of times and have grown tired of staying in the 20-some story high-rise, 400 room resorts with 2000 other guests. Is there a smaller hotel, oceanfront that someone would recommend. It doesn’t have to be luxurious, but HAS to be clean, modern, offer a full kitchen and in a good area. We’re travelling with 4 children ages 13, 12, 7 and 6. Thanks.

HELP. Which hose to fit this style of indoor tap.

By on May 28th, 2008

I’m looking into getting a much needed hose. It would be too much trouble to get a tap fixed outside and have figured that attaching a hose to the kitchen sink tap would be more efficient. I have no idea about the attachment shapes and sizes. So does anyone know what attachment I’d need to get for a tap similar to the one in this link:

A link to an online store selling the right attachment and hose would be great too.

I need advice . I’m 6 months pregnant (1st) and am unsure if I should leave my boyfriend and move back home.

By on May 23rd, 2008

In Oct. 2006 we (both 31yrs) rented his parents empty 3 bdrm home. In June 2007 his brother (24) broke up with his girlfriend of 8yrs and needed to save money. My boyfriend said no but I said okay, it was only going to be short term and he’s family.

He has helped clean the house once. when he does his laundry, he leaves the fabric sheet on the floor for me to pick up. When he cooks, he leaves his dishes for me to clean. He is on our computer constantly. He broke our DVD player. Now he doesn’t say hello or goodbye or us when coming or going, even when were right there. In Feb 2008 when we came home from the doctors, my boyfriend asked his brother to help with the snow; he started cursing and slaming the kitchen cabinets.

I wanted him out in Feb but it was winter, now my boyfriend is saying his brother doesn’t have any money & wants to stay and he doesn’t have the heart to ask him to leave by the end of June.

HELP . I don’t want to live like this but I love my boyfriend

Hillary- po baby.

By on May 21st, 2008

Hillary Clinton , quintessential Alpha Female, is whining about the boys who share the presidential debate stage with her.

She says that they’re picking on her. They’re ganging up on her.

And she doesn’t like it.

Her aides say it’s just because she’s a woman.

But Hillary ’s the one who’s playing gender politics. Not them. When the going gets tough, Hillary always pulls out the female victim card.

The fact is that the reason that Hillary is under attack is because she is a doubletalking panderer who can’t give a single straight answer. It’s not because she’s a woman, and it’s not because she’s a winner.

How men that she’s tolerated for the past eight months – as if they were actually candidates of her high caliber – are all taunting her.

Let’s take a close look at who these men really are:

They’re men who:

• certainly never presided over the biggest debacle in domestic policy since Roosevelt ’s Court Packing Plan in 1936

In fact, these petty little men have never even had the power to single-handedly cause the President of the United States to lose control of both houses of Congress, like she has.

It’s just not fair.

Don’t they remember who she is.

She’s the same Hillary Clinton who started her campaign by insisting that you have to “deck” your opponents if they criticize you.

And the Hillary who loves to set up “War Rooms” to investigate the personal lives of anyone who gets in her way – especially those annoying women who were the objects of Bill ’s desire and affection.

Yes, that’s the Hillary who blamed the “vast right wing conspiracy” for Bill ’s affair with Monica Lewinsky . (Of course it wasn’t Bill ’s fault) And the Hillary who sent her stooges out to humiliate, embarrass, and discredit Monica in the press.

The same Hillary , the unabashed feminist, who encouraged the Clinton court jester, James Carville , to publicly label Paula Jones as “trailer park trash.”

That’s the Hillary who tried – unsuccessfully - to use her position as a U.S. Senator to settle some old scores with Michael Chertoff , Secretary of Homeland Security, who was formerly Counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. She was the only Senator to vote against his confirmations as Assistant Atttorney General and Judge on the D.C. Court of Appeals. She claimed that he was rough in intervierwing some young aides, a claim she never made at the time. She did the same thing with Ted Olsen , even trying to organize a filibuster until her own party members warned her to back off. They found it unprofessional to try to settle personal scores by using one’s Senate credentials. In Hillary ’s book, its just called ‘getting even’ She’s good at that.

And yet they pick on her.

How dare they.

Well, she’s just not going to waste any more time on this unfair situation. She’s looking ahead: Yesterday, she called for women to get out their mops, brooms, brushes and vacuum cleaners – she says that she’s going to need them to clean up the White House.

When the going gets rough, Hillary Clinton , archetypical feminist, surprisingly retreats into homemaker happytalk – referring to a domestic life that she’s never experienced. (When do you think she last used a broom.) But the truth is that she would’nt know a mop from a laptop.

But now, the embattled little woman says she is “comfortable in the kitchen.” Anyone who’s ever seen her there knows that’s not true.

She has about as much experience in the kitchen as she does in the Oval Office.

Consider the contrast between Hillary ’s approach to gender and that of Margaret Thatcher . While nobody could doubt Thatcher’s essential feminimity, she never used it as a defense, never enlisted women in a class defense against the male establishment. She gloried in fighting the men who ran Argentina or those who ran the European Union with never so much as a reference to gender.

Or compare her to Condoleezza Rice who never takes refuge in her status as a member of the fair sex when the going gets rough.

Hillary ’s retreat to shelter in the feminist orb when the male world spurns her raises serious questions about whether she is really tough enough to be president.

When the men who run the Middle East or those who occupy the Kremlin or run China gang up on her, she won’t be able to hide behind the skirts of her husband or her domestic supporters.

How do I get out of a Sub-Contractors Lien for incomplete work that my Contractor had to do over.

By on May 20th, 2008

We paid a Cabinet Builder to build custom cabinets for our remodeled kitchen, but when he delivered, pieces were missing. The cabinet builder suggested Euro Style cabinets for looks, but apparently are more difficlut to install if the room isn’t completely square. My Contractor decided to hire the Cabinet Maker to install, since the cabinets didn’t seem to fit correctly. The Cabinet Maker installed, but cabinet’s were not level, trim was missing, and cabinets needed to be re-hung. My Contractor ended up having to reset many of the cabinets, and finish the trim work himself.

The agreement between my Contractor and the Cab. Maker was for $2,400, and my contractor estimated his labor to re-do the work was around $1,650, so he paid the Cab. Maker the ballance of the $2,400, which was $750.

The Cab. Maker is now puting a lien on my house, saying I am reliable for the outstanding balance, $1,650.

Am I honestly responsible for paying this guy. Is there any action I can tak. Help.
