it will be ok

I have a new product that I would like to sell to a local pet store. The product will cost about $1.00 US to make. I would like to make at least 1.00 in profit per item. I want the item to be affordable to the consumer but at the same time let the pet store make its money as well. Can I propose that the product be sold for 3.00 or will it be completely up to the pet store?

What would be a more natural alternative to Gold Bond Medicated Powder? I am interested in its use to treat itching and for moisture control.

I don't like the idea of having to throw out all of that plastic lining every 6 months or year. I try to keep mine as long as possible but the wife does not like all the mold buildup that just won't wash off anymore. Are there any biodegradable or earth friendly alternatives? How about just using a cloth liner? Any ideas?

I have a ceiling fan that has three (3) sockets. If I have one bulb that is burnt out, will the other bulbs not last as long if I don't replace the burnt out bulb? How about if I were to just remove the burnt bulb but leave the socket empty (aside from the danger of sticking my finger in an empty socket)? I am trying to conserve energy and money. References would be helpful in the answer. Thanks!

I have heard in the past that your employer must send you your w-2 tax forms by January 31. Is this true?

To clarify: Would less energy be used if the computer was continuously kept plugged in during use OR unplugging the laptop when fully charged and using it unplugged until the battery is low OR does it not matter? If no answer can be found, how could I test this theory?

I want to carve a tobacco pipe out of wood and was wondering what type of wood is best. Obviously any "treated" wood would not be good for the health (not that smoking is either).

I have tried closing my bedroom door but they just pound on it all night and "cry". I tried this for a month with no success. I tried to spray some special cat "deterrant" on the door but it didn't work (maybe i need something better). I only have a 1 bedroom apartment so I can't separate them by more than my bedroom door. I have tried to spray them with water but they just keep coming back. Help! They are 5 years old and I don't want to have to get rid of them but I need my sleep (I even purchaseda tempurpedic mattress to try and help me), Oh and don't say sleeping pills or alcohol...

It usually happens when cooking chicken/beef

For example, wearing 2-week wear lenses for 2 months. Please don't reply with the answer "because it is bad for your eyes". This is what my optometrist says. I want some real evidence. 20/20 did a study on non-disposable soft lenses and disposable soft lenses years ago and found they are pretty much the same...(Note that I disinfect and clean my lenses daily)

Free and inexpensive places are preferred. (And not truck stops. They seem like a prison to me...)
