The end of time has been predicted like 8,962,502,000 times already! I'm getting so sick of these posts!

Help! Father is away building another temple for that jerk, King Herod. My leper brother and I have some cheese, dates, onions, wine and a goat - what can I make us for dinner?

I have a deck of playing cards with spectacular artwork on it. I want to use them on greeting cards that I am making, but a friend pointed out that this would probably be illegal. What if I put the artist's name on the back of the card along with the name of the set that it came from? Thank you for your assistance!

I just got this great (I think!) oil painting and was wondering if anyone can tell what it might be worth and how old it is. Also, I can't make out the artist's signature - Jamir, maybe? It measures about 52" x 29", including the frame. Thank you for your help!

I've been picking up little "treasures" for years at yard sales. I have hundreds of jewelry parts, chains, metal animals, faces and such. I'd like to make a gift for a friend using these, but I'm not feeling very creative this week. I don't want to make jewelry from them, though. Any ideas?

I'm sick of all of the bureaucracy that comes along in this field. I know that there are privately owned places, but has anyone ever heard of one that is owned and operated by the employees or residents?

I am going through an extremely stressful time and have started smoking again. I have to be in very close quarters with non-smokers who are offended by the odor. I know that I can chew a piece of gum afterwards, brush my teeth (when possible) and apply fresh perfume, but it's just not enough. Is there a spray on product out there that absorbs the smell? What are your methods for hiding the smoky smell? Thanks for any tips.
