I went to the local stove/fireplace shop in town. I was intent on buying a pellet stove insert for my single story 1600 sq. ft. home. The owner of the shop, a nice guy, showed me a pellet stove that he stated was one of the top of the line models. The price tag was $3300. The the store owner asked me if I had thought about a gas insert, which was almost $1000 cheaper! Kind of bizarre a a store owner in CA would try to save a customer money.

I'm curious with any of those out there that know anything about stoves or fireplaces, which one would be better and more efficient? Thank you.

I am looking to buy my first trailer for my family (wife, two kids, 5 & 3). I want an trailer no shorter than 22'. I need something that can sleep 4 comfortably. My preference is one queen bed and two bunks. I will be towing whatever trailer I buy with a 2006 Chevy Tahoe Z71 (V8, 5.3 L). I want a used trailer no older than 6-7 years. My questions to the experts are the following:

1. What weight will I be able to tow without bogging my SUV down?

2. What are the best lightweight trailers for the money?

I literally just started looking at trailers and I am trying to learn, so any advice is welcome. Thank you very much.

I need to have my lawn removed and replaced. I was curious if anyone had a ballpark figure for the price. My lawn is roughly 25 x 20. Thank you.

The a$$ kicking is less than 6 months away. The Messiah has turned out to be the worst idea since the Dolorian. What will you Dems do after the GOP takes back the House AND the Senate?

I'm sure most of you "Realists" or whatever you call yourselves probably hide this from your kids. Let the innocent children enjoy this day of celebration, the celebration of the Resurrection of that guy you people despise so much, that's right, Jesus Christ.

All of us crazy Christians and our zany holidays. I hope all of you superior Atheists have a wonderful day while this Christian nation is in celebration.

I read an article today about Obama whining about Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck. The Kenyan stated he believed the two pundits were leading a harmful movement in America. Now, we all know Obama and his cronies have an total distaste for the Founding Fathers and the constitution (except for Separation of Church and State, which doesn't exist in the Constitution, I would dare anyone to check), but now he is attacking free speech?

Is Bill Maher harmful to America? How about those pigs Rosie O'Donnell, Janene Garafolo, Joy Behar? No. Obama has been cottled by the mainstream media (Time, Newsweek, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, every major newspaper except WSJ), but the evil Fox News is going to lead the Nation into a civil war.

Now, Obama sees the writing on the wall. The Dems are going to get the living $hit beat out of them in November, and if the GOP can find someone that wasn't living during the first Civil War to run against Obama in 2012, he will get thrown out of office.

So lastly, why do the Dems and Obama hate free speech when it comes out of someones mouth that is a free thinker? Why is free speech only allowed when it is spouted from someone who supports killing babies, or someone who thinks this horrible winter was caused by Global Warming? Just curious.

I am looking to buy my kids a wooden playhouse. I want something around 8' x 8' and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I also would even buy a wood shed and do the work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Let's first put our biases on the table. I think BO'S first year has been one of the most dangerous and frightening in History.

With that said, does anyone, haters or supporters, think this man's egotistical, quasi-Sociopathic ways will allow him to slow down? We have been berated over the past few years about how intelligent he is. Really? I would think an intelligent man would be paying attention and attempt to move to the middle. He honestly doesn't care that his socialistic health care bill has been an absolute disaster. Now he has attacked the Clinton-era "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy. Rumor has it he is going to take on Amnesty this year. November is going to be a landslide for the GOP, that is as close to a certainty as Obama blaming Bush for everything wrong in this Country!

While I am a conservative Republican, the demise of the Democratic party is not because the GOP has become that impressive, believe me. The Democratic party is crashing because of Obama's assault on personal freedoms and for his destruction of personal responsibility in this country.

Bottom line, can he stop himself? Or will he continue to run this country into the ground?

I am a cop and I am considering buying a Ruger LCP for off-duty carry. I currently carry a Glock 27, which is obviously much more gun than the .380, but it is still too big. I want a gun that I can put in my pocket and go. Any opinions are welcome. Thanks.

My son tonight corrected me during our prayer, "Dad, you forgot about the kids who don't have anything." He continued the prayer, "And the kids who don't have anything, we pray they are warm and safe.' I do a lot of talking on this site, but regardless of race, creed, political preference, etc, the innocence of children is the sweetest thing on this earth.

My wife and I are huge country music fans (Bay Area, CA) and we are eager to plan a trip to Nashville this summer.

I would love recommendations for restaurants, local music hot spots, etc. Thank you!

Well, to be technical, 2013. It's pretty obvious that BO'S fascist, self-endulging ways will continue to destroy any popularity that Newsweek, Time, GQ, Vanity Fair, every major newspaper and magazine (other than Washington Times and WSJ) might have gave him. So, the GOP will most certainly own both houses by November 2012, who's your pick for President?

I don't care if you are a college football fan or an avid follower of politics, please tell me I am not alone. Where in the hell does this fascist Euro-centric President (of Ours, I guess) think he has any right to chime in his South Chicago opinion on College football. This is the problem with our country, People don't understand that this President of the United States of America has absolutely 100% no right to have any bearing whatsoever on how the NCAA governs its championship.This power hungry Socialist will stop at nothing to continue to force his will on the entire country, whether it be how we visit our Doctor, to how we watch football.

Does anyone else, Democrat or Republican feel my pain?

Ok, I get that Apple hit it big with the Ipod and the Iphone. I love my Ipod, I couldn't live without it. The Iphone was a great invention, but give me a break? The Itab? Really? All you tech nerds had been waiting for so long to hear what Steve Jobs was going to release. What is it? A big a$$ Iphone, that serves as a computer. Whoooopdyyyyydooo! I'm sure all of you Mac faithful are irriated I would make such a comment, but give me a break. Apple can only ride the Iphone wave for so long.

So this week we actually got snow in the Bay Area (CA). This was only the third time in my 29 years of living here I have experienced snow. We got so much snow that kids were snowboarding in Oakland...not shooting each other... but snowboarding. I know the Global Warming Nazi's consider the non-believing crowd intellectually inferior, but I always love to hear that cold weather is also a sign of Global Warming!!!! The Global Warming crowd are so arrogant that they think they can tell people that freezing weather is a sign of a hotter Earth!!! Haha, as indicated by the recent debacle in Copenhagen, I am glad to see the Global Warming debate starting to turn. Good stuff...snow now means less snow in the future..classic!

After watching Al Gore last press conference, it is evident that he will not debate anything in his movie. Politics aside, Al Gore has done an amazing job at transforming himself into the granddaddy of the green movement. The only problem is the guy is a retard. The media has attacked Bush and Palin so hard, but honestly listen to Al Gore speak. Gore can't debate anything. His answer to critical questions is usually something like "Oh that's already been answered" or some attempt to shy away from any type of Honest debate.

I am not the biggest wine drinker, but I absolutely love Chateau St. Jean (Napa) merlot. I only really like merlot and I want to find wines similar to Chateau St. Jean. Numerous suggestions please.

Thank you.

I need a safe big enough to hold a shotgun and a few handguns. I don't have an arsenal, but I need a standing safe. I want the slimmest safe I can buy. I want the safe to take the least amount of space as possible.

Thank you.
