Synchronicity

Having relatives over for an early Thanksgiving SUNDAY evening. I am preparing everything ahead of time and refrigerating to just pop in the oven for dinner. I would like to be finished cooking everything SATURDAY night, but will the macaroni get too soft or absorb too much if I leave it 24 hrs, or do you think it will be significantly better if I just wait until the morning to pre-make it so it only sit 6-7 hrs before baking.

We found a 4 wk old kitten along the roadside. He's been here two weeks. He has a litter box inside a large dog cage located in our family room. We have two large dogs, and kept him in there at night and when not around to supervise for his safety. Things are going smoothly, so I leave him out of the cage during the day, but still put him in at night. The litter box needs to eventually be moved to the laundry room with a cat door that has been installed.(2 rooms away). So, the question is, can I try to start introducing him to another litter box in the laundry room? Is he too young to grasp having two litter boxes? Can I eliminate the other one? I can't gradually move it, because the dogs want to eat the cat poop. Or is it better to wait until he's a little older?

Best place to sell a boat? We need to sell our boat. Looking for an online classified. Where can we list reasonably priced, and it is not a complete waste of time? We have not had any using the newspapers and bulletin boards.

I made an imitation crab dip with a sour cream and cream cheese base. It was so bland, so I kept searching for spices to liven it up. I read a recipe on line that called for Nutmeg, so I tried some, and it just tastes WAY too much of Nutmeg. Not too tasty. I added some cheese to help neutralize, but it still is so Nutmeg-Y. Anyone have any ideas of how to rescue this recipe, or is it destined to be garbage?

Recently my husband and I were asked to go out to dinner with one of his co-workers and his wife. They chose the restaurant. They asked for separate checks. When the checks arrived, they paid for their entire meal with a gift certificate. Isn't that considered bad manners to do that. I thought it was proper to split the gift certificate with the entire table, not to be the ones to get off scott free, especially when you suggested the place? I am not that upset about it, I just thought it was in bad taste. Can anyone tell me if they know what the proper way to handle that is? Just wondering?

I want a tank of all cold water fish. Currently have all goldfish. Are there any other types of fish I could put in the tank, or do I have to stick to gold fish and plocostomus?

I have some baby maple trees that are only 2 inches in height. They started out as tiny sprouts, and I water them daily. Will they continue to grow in the fall or winter, or do they go dormant? And about how many inches will they typically grow annually? Mama wants to know when they will grow up to be a big tree??

From November until February the outdoor pond will occasionally freeze solid or be covered with snow. I would like to bring the fish in for the winter. Is it possible to keep them alive in just a bowl with no filtration, or am I going to have to get an actual aquarium set up for them?

Everyday I throw out a ton of paper that has come in my mailbox. Chase Bank has been sending my husband and I each a credit card application in the mail everyday for years. It makes me sick over the waste that goes into this. Are there any lobbys going on to put an end to all this waste?

Has anyone found a way to deal with those crab grass like weeds with the long roots that come up with in the flower bed. I keep trying to pull them up and I can't keep up with it anymore.

My husband thinks I should grow my hair halfway down my back. I on the on the other hand, love bob haircuts, and some sort of style in my hair. It doesn't have to be super short or anything, but anything not past the shoulders he thinks is short. What would you do?

My In-laws have no respect for our privacy what so ever. They are constantly just 'dropping by' with out notice and calling constantly to talk about nothing important. These calls often start at 8 in the morning. They are good people, so I don't want to be mean, but they are both nut cases! My husband won't say anything to them about it.
