  • Can someone help me find a silverplate pattern?

    I have a teapot, made by Wilcox Silverplate Co. The closest I can get to finding the actual age is that it was manufactured between 1866 and 1898. The pattern number is 5085. If you would like to see a picture, it can be seen at replacements.com. Just go to replacements.com, click on the silver tab, and enter Wilcox 5085 into the search box. The only piece they have a picture of is my teapot.

    I would like very much to find more of this set, or find out if I have the last remaining piece out there. I'm hoping that there is another silverplate collector or dealer that can help with this. ANY information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I can't use masks or anything like that. Also, can anyone tell me if pse5 has the liquefy tool? I'd like to use it if it's there, but can't find that either. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • A question for big-busted women?

    A couple of years ago, my wife decided she wanted a breast enhancement done. Against my better judgment, I gave in, and got it for her. Now she has difficulty finding bras that give her enough support. ( She really doesn't mind it so much, she likes what she got.) My real question is this...what exactly is it that gives a bra support? I understand that somehow the weight of the breast is supported, but how? Is it the straps? That can't be, because she bought a strapless that she says gives great support. What are the qualities that make a support bra comfortable? I like to buy her clothes that look good, and that she feels good in, that she can feel confident wearing, but she needs to be comfortable. So I guess my biggest question is what gives a support bra support? Sorry if this went the long way round, just had some difficulty figuring out how to word it.

  • How do I make my netbook show up on another monitor?

    OK, my main desktop computer power supply got fried this morning. I'm trying to use an Aspire netbook to work on, and I cannot make it show up on another monitor. I've got this big, 17" HP monitor, and when I reboot the netbook, it shows up while the Windows XP logo is on, and the little bar is showing underneath it with the blue thing going across, but as soon as it gets to the point where it goes dark for a second before showing the actual desktop, it reverts back to the monitor on the netbook. It's getting hard on the eyes trying to use this little bitty thing. Can anyone offer some assistance or tell me why this wont' work? thanks.

  • How do they make her eyes look so big?

    In Lady Gaga's video, Bad Romance, there are a few scenes in which her eyes look maybe three times normal size. Is this just a camera trick, or is there some way to make a persons eyes look that much bigger using makeup? Just wondering if anyone could tell me what they did for this video. If it's a makeup trick, I'd like to use it on a few models for some photo work.

  • How do I get my wife to loosen up?

    My wife is one of the most beautiful women in the world, in my eyes. She is 47, a mother of 2, that are grown, and we have been married for almost 3 years. My only problem, (and admittedly, it's not that much of a problem), is that she is so very conservative. That, in itself, isn't a bad thing. She raised those two girls very well, worked her butt off to get them to adulthood. But, it's only me and her now, and I'd like her to loosen up a little. She's got a fabulous body, and a beautiful face to go along with it. I'd just like to see her walk a little sexier, sway her hips a bit. She still walks and acts the way she thinks is "appropriate" for a mom raising young girls. I like to show her off, let her be seen. I like for other men to look at her while she's walking with me, just so I can smile to myself and say "Yeah, you can look, but she's mine". I'm extremely proud of her, and I've always believed in the saying "If you've got it, flaunt it". In other words, if you look good, let people see that you look good, nothing wrong with that. Any suggestions? I don't want to share her, and I don't necessarily want her to dress and look so sexy when I'm not with her, so don't go getting any ideas. Just looking for reasonable suggestions. thanks in advance.

  • Who the heck is Kim Kardashian?

    And why is she famous? Can't be for her looks, she's just not that pretty. Is she another Paris Hilton, famous for being famous? All I know is all of a sudden I see Kim Kardashian here, there and everywhere, and I never heard of her before.
