I've been researching this and they say the best time to trim a privet hedge is late winter into early spring. We've had some very mild winters and I wouldn't mind doing it earlier, early February or even possibly January. Is there any reason not to?

A few years back I remember a Game of Thrones themed TV commercial where Daenerys is sitting at a table in a modern setting calling "Where's My Dragon?" I remember the dragon is rather small and looked lost, but by the end of the commercial finds her. I've always thought it was sweet. I having a hard time pinning down the product so I can go look for the commercial.

I remember a Penn & Teller special on cable TV several years ago where there was network of very large tubes running around the edge of the stage. At one point they put someone in the tube and then put rats? in one end and tell the guy to start crawling. What was the name of this show?

I once calculated the calories in just the pie crust were about 1000 per crust, as much or more than the pumpkin filling I was using. I can make pumpkin pie filling with Splenda and justify the filling as almost a vegetable, but the number of calories the pie crust adds was a bit of a shock. I know I could bake the filling without a crust, but I would like something that takes the place of the crust for lifting it out of the pie pan and add a little crunchy contrast.

Two years ago we had two large maple trees cut down and they left two round piles of wood chips.This year the piles have become overgrown with thick weeds, some I actually find attractive. Are the weeds actually helping to break down the wood chips or are they growing on the soil underneath?

Is there a way to create a multi day Event that creates a single Bar across consecutive days on the calendar with one bar and title? It will do it if I I select a start time, which I consider clutter, but won't let me if I choose "All-Day" events. I see Calendars that I've subscribed to doing it, and I swear years ago Yahoo Calendar was able to do it.

The one where they learn HALO technique ect.

I have been making single cups of coffee on top of the stove using only a saucepan and a fine strainer. I let the coffee sit in water a few minutes below a low simmer then strain. Would using a french press be comparable?

"Weekday" only includes Monday through Friday. Is there one word for the days of the week which includes the weekend days, ie Monday through Sunday?

We recently adopted a stray female calico kitten who is obsessed with playing with our older 10 year old male cat. The younger cat constantly jumps on him and lays in ambush for him. Some days his yowling in protest seems to go on all morning and throughout the day. He wants nothing to do with it. I don’t think she is trying to establish dominance, like if they were two males, I just think she has too much energy and is playful.

If we don’t find a way to slow the calico down, she is at risk of being given to someone else. I don’t know if the two of them can stay together cooped up in the house till spring. At least can we expect her to someday slow down as she gets older?

It has this box at the the top which would allow me to switch to Google Mail but I intend to never use and is just wasting precious space at the top of the mail list. Also, all my messages are grayed out, hard to read, and look like they aren't available but I can still click on them. When it first appeared I wondered if someone had hacked my frontpage. I can not find an announcement for it.

Is there a name for those games the big college teams play at the beginning of their season against teams they can easily beat outside their divisions? I call them tune up or warm up games.

Today Office Home & Student 2013 suddenly disappeared and I never uninstalled it. Is this even possible? I looked in Windows 8 Programs and Features and it is still listed there, but the Size column is empty. I tried Repair and it does nothing. I just bought it in June and I wonder if it thought some trial was over even thought I activated it.

In Yahoo Mail I usually just look at the Subject and Sender of emails in my spam folder, then empty the folder. Is it safe to click and read any of the messages? I am sometimes curious about what's in some of these emails and would like to read them. I don't have to read them, but would sometimes like to look at some of the more ridiculous ones that I keep getting.

In Word 2013, if I backup my Normal template (Normal.dotm) and custom dictionary (Custom.dic), will I have backed my complete Word 2013 profile?

I want all my program settings, macros, keyboard, Quick Access Toolbar and Ribbon customizations, custom dictionary, and autocorrect entries, basically everything I use to back up much easier in my previous version of Word with the Save My Settings wizard.
