We're thinking about buying a snowblower/thrower for this winter as we no longer have a truck with a plow on it. You all gave us some good lawn mower suggestions. So, what is the best brand and/or model in the reasonable price range?

We have 2 dogs, an indoor cat, and a fish. We're animal lovers, really! However, two weeks ago our elderly neighbor's nephew moved in to help take care of her. He's a nice guy. But, her brought 4 outdoor cats with him. They are friendly and clean animals BUT they have come to think our front lawn and garden as their new litter boxes. We are looking for some type of product that will deter these kitties from doing their business on our property. We are looking for something that will in no way, shape, or form hurt the cats. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I live in CT, where Joe Lieberman is the Senator who lost the Democratic primary. He supports the Iraq war, made that infamous kiss with President Bush. So, I'm watching Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones. Is it me or do Chancellor Palpatine (who becomes the Evil Emperor in the later films) and Lieberman look exactly alike??

Does anyone know a "real" (not the thumbtack) way to fix a sagging headliner-the fabric covering inside the roof of the cab-in a 1995 Dodge Ram?

I just got a call from my credit card company MBNA. They were offering a credit monitoring plan. Of course my answer is no anyway. But it is 8:52 p.m. When I told this to the woman, she said they are allowed to call until 10 p.m. Does anyone know what specific rules/laws govern the hours telemarketers can call? I would like to call MBNA tomorrow and complain/request I not be called after 7 p.m. (Husband sleeps for early morning work hours).

Our lawnmower died, we're looking to get a new one. What's the best brand/model and what store to purchase from?

There is a proposal to build a casino near the Gettysburg battlefield from the Civil War. This is one of our nation's most hallowed grounds. I personally think it will be travesty if it is built. If you want more info or to sign the anti-casino petition go to nocasinogettysburg.com

I'm considering getting a Rhino bed liner for my truck. Anyone have experience with them or good/bad opinions?

I just found out I'm pregnant. Two weeks ago I chaperoned a school trip to Six Flags. I went on two rollercoasters and a few water slides. I'm scared this will have damaged my developing baby. Does anyone have advice or similar experince they can share?

I'm not really likin it.

I went to take dog for nightly walk, came back to find Wells being led off field, what happened?

I'm looking for the titles to two short stories I read years ago in a collection of spooky stories for kids. The first is about a hired hit man who kills a toy maker. The toymaker's mother sends him an army of toy soldiers who attack him. The second is about a fmaily that buys a cursed bathtub-the Marlin bath. Please help!

This plant blooms at the end of our driveway in CT. The leaves are a foot and a half tall and are a light green. The stalks are three to four feet high. Each stalk has three to five buds on it. At the top of each stalk there is a bright purple flower. Does anyone know what this might be?
