1 AnswerHobbies & Crafts9 years agoMultiple Myeloma, Agent Orange,Vietnam Vets, and Government Responsibility?
Lost my father to cancer which the VA admits may have been caused my agent orange exposure during his tour of duty. Is there a group of people like me who want to make sure that the government is held accountable for these deaths. Maybe a chat room type website? Not interested in financial compensation from the government, rather public admission of responsibility
2 AnswersCancer1 decade agoVietnam Vets, agent orange, cancer deaths and government responsibility?
Lost my Father to Multiple Myeloma. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Veteran Affairs admits that agent orange can cause it and even compensates families of those who have lost loved ones. Where do I go to talk to others about holding the government responsible. Maybe a chat room or organization devoted to this cause. Thanks, and much love to any and all who are going through this.

1 AnswerNew York City1 decade agoWhere can I find a used 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 for under $4k in New York?
I know there is someone out there with a stock 5.0L Mustang that they would like to sell. Preferably owned by a responsible adult and not some dumb kid who beats on it and swapped out all the original parts for aftermarket crap. If you know a classified autos website that deals with these I would appreciate it.

1 AnswerOther - Outdoor Recreation1 decade agoWhy must I let hot food cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge?
I recently read that after cooking a pot of hot soup, it should rest on the counter until it reaches room temperature before putting it into the fridge. I understand that putting something hot into the fridge will raise the temperature and compromise the other food, and am familiar with the 40-140 degree "danger zone" where bacteria thrive, but is there something else to it? I put a hot chicken parm hero straight into the fridge the other day and when I ate it the next day, I got violently ill.

My father was not really a collector, but accumulated many blown glass Santa's for the Christmas tree over the years.

1 AnswerHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoI finally got my avocado pit to sprout in a cup of water, but it just split up the center. What do I do?
When I tried to take out one of the toothpicks which was suspending it in the water, the pit cracked almost completely, exposing the center of the pit. Should I put it in soil? or just leave it alone? The roots at the bottom are only a couple of inches long and nothing has emerged from the top yet. Thanks.

It's a Singer 41:13 in used condition, but was constantly and professionally maintained over the 20+ years we have had it at the upholstery shop.

1 AnswerOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoModel rocket question.?
I have a cardboard tube that is 24" long and 3 1/4" inches wide and would like to make a model rocket out of it. I need an engine/motor with a 1" diameter that will provide enough thrust to make the project worthwhile.I'm using 3/16" balsa for the 3 fins, and will probably make the nosecone out of polystyrene foam, as I only intend to launch it once (no parachute or wadding to increase weight). She should weigh in at about 16 oz. at the most when complete. Which engine should I but/order from the hobby shop? Electric ignition.

14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat's the best way to sell baseball cards online?
I acquired a bin full of baseball cards and other baseball collectibles, but am not a fan of the sport. They are probably worth something because they are in very good condition and they are all cards of players that even I am familiar with. Would like to get a website to help me price them, and another to sell them. Would it be better to sell them all together, or individually? Thanks
