What is the spanish translation for GRANDMAS LITTLE HELPERS.

By on December 8th, 2008

I am doing a photo book for my mother-in-law and there is a picture of my kids helping her in the kitchen and I want to put the caption “Grandma’s Little Helpers” but I am scared when I use the translation tools on line that they are exact translations and not how you would say them when you are actually speaking spanish–made the mistake of using the translation tools before and messed it up.

which of these WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE.

a new state of the art kitchen with all modern gadgets
a remodeled bedroom with new bed and bedding
a top notch home theater system
a newly redone modern basement with pool table, dart board, etc.
a new bathroom with a grade a shower and a toilet that could suck down a brick, lol

Do you think these are funny or is it just me.

fungus growing in it.

my knob off.

put his foot in the hole in his back passage.

my fence.

plain filthy.

at 6am his cock wakes me up and its now getting too much for me.

How can I cancel my contract for kitchen installation.

By on December 5th, 2008

I have ordered a kitchen from a company called Space Kitchens, with installation. Their sales adviser came to my house, and basically told me that their kitchen is from solid wood, and would cost me 5000 pounds. We agreed on this price (well, I thought that the price is great for a solid wood kitchen), and colour of the cabinets, doors, and worktops. Last week (on thursday) they delivered something different. First of all it is NOT a “solid wood” kitchen, it’s all made of wood-chip boards, cabinets are white, instead of titanium colour, and the worktops are also different colour. I contacted them, and told them, that they can take the “kitchen” away, and I’m cancelling my contract, but they insist that what we have seen is what we have got, they can change the cabinets, and worktops, but they did not tell me that the kitchen would be from solid wood, because they make it from wood-chip boards, and I can not cancel anything. But I would not be willing to pay 5000 pounds for a “wood-chip” kitchen, so I don’t want it. Is there a chance to get a free advice on this matter. Something like a free lawyer, or anything like that. Because I don’t want to have anything with Space Kitchens anymore after this. Another problem is that it was financed through GE Money, and they have already paid Space Kitchens the money, so I have to start repaying it back, and I don’t have it installed yet (and will NOT). Any suggestions.
Well, I have already contacted GE Money, and they told me that only when Space Kitchens return the money I won’t have to repay the “loan”. That’s why I want them to cancel my contract, and take the “wretched” kitchen away.

Poll: My Neigbours are pretty cool.they leave a small window open for me when they go away.

By on December 4th, 2008

What would you do in this situation.
Its been about a year now and when they are gone I climb in the tiny window that they leave open for me.

I use thier spa and I love there 80 inch plasma TV. BUT they always keep cheap snacks in the pantry and fridge.

Should I keep bring my own or should I hint to them the food in their kitchen sucks.

They dont know I hang out their- I just assume they do cause the tiny little window is open when I pry it when a screwdriver

My room is such an odd shape. Remodel Help.

By on December 2nd, 2008

I have a really odd room shape. It has all of these angles and I have like no room. I really need a desk, I mean i’m in school and still doing homework in my noisy kitchen.

I have bay windows in my room which means a lot of wasted space. Is there anything I could do about that.

Can someone give me some tips. Should I get someone professional to come and remodel.

What does it mean when an HDTV has an 8ms image response time.

By on December 1st, 2008

Does that have anything to do with how fast it is when you change the channel. I have a 19in sharp in my kitchen and its channel changing speed is horrible and online it says its image response time is 6ms. So I wanted to buy a Panasonic 32in (TC-32LX85) and that says its image response is 8ms. I’d like to channel flip not flop.
