My husband wants to go to Monkey Island while we are on vacation. However, I've read reports that the ferry was stopped after Katrina. Can anyone please provide an update and if the visit would be possible?

I am planning a trip to Germany in a few months and need to learn the basic language. However, during my search I've found that there are simply too many tools to choose from and I don't have any idea which ones are truly worth the time and money.

If you have personally been in this situation and was able to find a tool (book, CD, online learning website, etc) that made learning the language easy (and as a bonus fun since my kids will need to learn it also), please share the name of the book / CD / online learning system, etc. I would also greatly appreciate it if you would include a statement as to why you felt it was a great learning tool and why you would recommend it over any others.

I am a frugal person and would prefer systems that aren't too costly, but would review any and all recommendations.

Thank you in advance for your response.

My sister filled out her daughter's birth certificate and the hospital typed it up according to her instructions. Unfortunately her husband wanted the middle name spelled differently due to a family tradition. Can she change the spelling of the name on the certificate once it is filed? How?

I just purchased a new-to-me home (30-40 yr old construction). The master bedroom is on the main floor above the basement and we are wondering if the floor will hold the bed.

Everything I've read says that if the house was built to code, then it will be fine due to the distribution of weight. The house is in great condition and I think it will, but how can we be sure (without filling it and holding our breath)?

I am naturally ash blonde, but sometimes in the winter it goes more strawberry blonde. How can I bring out that strawberry blonde more often without having my hair stylist constantly coloring it?

I am selling my home to be with my husband in the military. We will be renting or living on bases for the next several years. No need to buy until he is retired. But I'm concerned that I will get substantially taxed on the equity I make from this sale. What are my options?

Who was the company and what was your experience?
