do you think the Nov. election results would have been significantly different had the Republicans had the same amount of campaigning dollars?How big a difference does funding make in any election? Is it ultimately the qualities of the candidate ,or the amount of funding the candidate is able to procure for his or her campaign?

for the kitchen. we are redoing the kitchen. I have put in a black granite counter-top, and there is a hardwood floor of a medium brown color---everything else can be changed. She wants to do the walls in a dark terracotta red, and the cabinets in chocolate brown. we have a built-in eating nook and she wants to upholster the benches in a black and olive-green striped material.A lot of our artwork has this same shade of green in it. I want to paint the walls a tan color and also paint the cabinets chocolate brown. i would like to upholster the benches in a solid green (a little lighter than olive). she also wants to get a lot of small appliances that are red (blender, coffee machine, toaster, etc) , while i want to go with all chrome and black for the small appliances. for the major appliances, I want black and stainless, and she wants all black.

I think we will soon grow tired of the red because its too trendy and loud. She thinks my style is too subdued and boring. Advice?

would best accent with the copper? there are also beams going across the ceiling. beams and walls are currently painted a very putrid pinkish-beige. baseboards,trim, and moldings are painted off-white. the room needs rejuvination, and now that ive cleaned the copper to its original glory, i want the walls to coordinate . some suggestions for colors ive received so far are: cinnamon, brick red, saffron, sage green, burnt sienna, mustard yellow. what do you think? has anyone decorated with copper ceilings?

i have just installed black slate countertop. what wall colors would look good with this. also, the cabinets are old wooden ones that have been painted over many times, they are off-white right now. the walls are a dingy beige. there are hardwood floors of a medium brown. there is a built-in earing nook with benches which id like to upholster (fabric ideas?) also what are some suggestions for window treatments? i dont want anything frilly or floral. also dont want bright colors, bold is good, just not like neon pink or purple or anything like that. whats some good ideas for wall decor. the house is a 1920s art deco.

i recently installed a black slate counter-top in my kitchen as the first stage of a kitchen reno. my faucets are chrome and the sink is stainless-steel. the ceiling is made of metal embossed tiles but has been painted over numerous times (currently white). theres no room for a table and chairs but there is a small eating nook with a built-in bench on either side (I would like to upholster these benches--fabric ideas?) the walls are about 9' high. theres a 1 foot high baseboard and a large crown molding at the ceiling. the floor is a mid-brown (tobacco) colored hardwood which i dont want to cover. the cabinets are wood which has also been painted many times and are now a dingy beige color. (I believe they are the original cabinets). the house is a art-deco style circa 1922, so i would kind of like to be authentic to that style, but a few modern touches might be nice as well. I dont want anything fussy or cluttered or floral patterns. wall colors? cabinet colors? help

with or without rice.

the fireplace is done in terra cotta tiles (including the hearth). there is a copper door over the fireplace opening. copper ceiling tiles, and dark wood panelling that goes about 2 1/2 feet up the wall from the floor. the floor is medium/dark hardwood. right now the walls are kind of a putty color (like the color of an old band aid) its real ugly--the previous owners did it. this color would also have to extend into the dining room because the two rooms are seperated only by an arch. also what color do you think the window treatment should be? the only furniture i have is a reddish-brown leather love seat and a big rattan wing-back armchair. i have 2 mission-style table lamps with amber glass shades. the hanging light fixture in the dining room is similar. whats some ideas for color and maybe furniture?

for me to buy my girlfriend. its 4 years since our first date (it was a blind date). i need help thinking of a unique and meaningful gift. i am very bad at shopping and thinking of gifts for women, and i dont want to just give her flowers or a gift certificate or something like that.I'm already taking her out for dinner (back to the same spot as our first date) but i want to give her a gift too, whats some ideas of romantic gifts that you ladies would like if your man was gonna buy you an aniversary gift? ps: i,m not afraid to spend money.

what are some ideas for recipes using canned salmon, hopefully nothing too complicated.

I once got a pair of musical undies from a girlfriend. every time she slapped my @ss or grabbed my crotch, it played "jingle bells", and then she'd start dancing in a circle around me and singing "jingle balls, jingle balls"...............that was fun

my girlfriend a lot of the time wants me to wear my high-school football uniform before we have sex. is this strange? i thought it was fun the first couple times, but now im sick of it, and starting to wonder if shes got some kind of weird kink. its not very comfortable either cuz its been 10 years since ive played football and its a little too small now. what do you ladies think of this kind of thing. and she always calls me by the number on my jersey when she's "in the mood". should i be worried bout this? or is it normal.

all my life ive been waiting for you, all my dreams will come true. all my life ive been searching for you........does anyone know?

i need only one straight section 8 feet long with a hole cut out for a single sink. what is the delivered and installed price approximately? thanks

i really like the looks of it (i have glossy black 8x8 tiles) but am wondering how practical and durable it will be in the long run. has anyone had good/bad experiences with this type of counter? also what is the best space between tiles--i've got conflicting info about this--one guy said 1/16 inch and another said 1/8 inch. and also, what color grout would be best to use with black tile--i dont reallly wanna have white grout.

and i want to do something special for her. im not talking about buying anything, im talking about doing something. something personal,something she'll really appreciate that will make her feel pampered.she's always so concerned with helping other people that i just want to do something that will make the day (and night) all about her. what kinds of things, ladies would you love to have done to/for you if you could have a whole evening of your heart's desire. what would be a perfect evening for you if your guy was to do anything you wanted? PS: last year, i filled the bathroom with candles and then brought in champagne and roses on a tray while i massaged her back and shoulders in the tub. so i kind of need a new idea for this year. help me, cause i need a woman's perspective on this--otherwise i'll probably just end up taking her out for dinner. PS: shes turning 30 next thurs.

ive thought about a dark espresso brown or a cream color? but im not sure what other colors might look better. theres a ton of trim in this room--the house ie very old and has huge baseboards, crown molding and elaborate door and window frames. theres also a built-in window seat--should it be painted the same as the rest of the trim? also, ceilings are 9'6" high
