I have recently tried my first oil painting, using the wet on wet "Bob Ross" style. I always loved his show, and wanted to give it a try. I did my first painting using a small kit that included the basics. I really enjoyed my first effort, but in looking at the paints, they seem somewhat expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions for an economical way to get paints that would work?

I have about a year on my Dish contract, since they have dropped several of the channels that I watched, can I get out of the contract without penalty?

My family will be making a trip from northern Michigan to Detroit later this year. I was hoping if it were open to take my son on to the old field, and maybe have a quick catch on the historic ground. I know that some groups have tried to salvage it, and I don't expect a perfect field but it would be nice to place for a catch.

We will be traveling from Michigan to Green Bay for a few days, there is an open practice one of the evenings, and it'll be a good way for my son to experience the NFL close up. Any Green Bayers who could provide insight on how to best attend would be appreciated.

I will be hunting with a crossbow for the first time next year, and my son will be using it the following season. I have hunted with compound archery equipment for years, and am trying something new.

I am looking to use a dc motor to power a very small, high speed fan. I need it to equate as closely as possible to a 110v 1600 rpm 1/70hp ac motor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We were wondering why casino dice sets come in a set of five. I'm sure there is a specific reason for it, but why five versus four or six etc.

We have a credit card with a sizeable balance, the payment history has been good, and not late or delinquent. I have heard of people with past due balances being able to get to pay the balance off for less (sometimes considerably) than what is owed, if payed in one lump sum. Can this be done in my case or is it wishful thinking. If it can be done what is the best way to go about it? Thanks for any suggestions.

We have wild chamomile that grows everywhere in our area, and I would like to collect some. What is the best way to dry it, to use later?

what bullet or factory ammo would you recommend?

I have fsx acceleration, and when flying the resort resupply mission, when flying into drop off the other pilot, just prior to landing he says "theres the maule" but I cant spot it from the air or on the ground. Am I just blind or is it a glitch?

I'm not asking this to be offensive to Ron Paul backers, they are probably the most passionate group of grassroot supporters. The energy that they could bring to another campaign could be enough to push that candidate over the top. The thing is, I'm not sure who they will support. Will it be one of the other Republicans, an Democrat, or a fringe party candidate? I'm especially hoping to hear from Paul supporters. Thanks

I have a 1994 Dodge 1500 that runs fine, however when at highway speeds, if I hit a rough patch of road, it picks up a very bad vibration. It feels like a tire going down. However all of the tires are fine, and if I pull over, it goes away. It runs fine at speed if the road is smooth, but on rough highway, this problem shows up. I'm sure its in the suspention, but don't know if its most likly a spring or shock or something else. Any info would help.

I left a vinyl sign in a hot car, and the blue ink from the sign bled into the tan seat. Any ideas for how to get the ink out would be a big help.

are they using forums such as this as a campaign tool, or are all of his supporters just computer junkies?

yet they decided to go ahead and pass the bill, so they could go on vacation. What does it say that they value a day off, more than the Constitution?

Is Obama using the Pakistan issue to appear strong on terror to help himself seem appealing to balance Hillary on the Dems 08 ticket?

Recently Senator Obama stated that he would consider military action on Pakistan, if warranted. Are Democrats so against the "Bush war" that they won't accept considering any military option?

I've got a beagle that I'll be using to run rabbits this fall. I would like to get a collar that will, when ready to call it a day, I can find the dog, and not have to go home and hear my wife yell at me for loosing the dog.
