There really are a lot of political parties out there and it seems nearly impossible for your average person to sort through all the crap on their sites about what they actually stand for. It would be really helpful in there was a chart showing each parties platform and what they believe in etc. Does anybody know of one such chart? If so, where can I find it?

I need 2 different types of interior door. French doors for my bedroom because the doorway is oversized and of an odd size, so nothing else will really fit there, and 2 sets of closet doors- 1 for the closet in the bedroom and 1 for the closet in the living room. The closet in the bedroom will more likely then not have to use the closet doors that run on a track- the ones with the slats in them. I think they are called bifold doors. The closet in the living room will probably have to use this type of door as well, it's another one of those oversized/oddly sized doorways. All the major stores (home depot, lowes, etc.) seem to be asking hundred of dollars for even the most basic door, and I haven't been able to track down bifold closet doors at all so far, though I admit I haven’t been looking long. Any suggestions on where to go to get reasonably priced doors of these types in Brooklyn NY or somewhere close by? Thanks!

I have a houseplant that I have never seen before, don’t know the name of, and would like some information on. The leaves are a dark burgundy/purple color and resemble a four leaf clover. The stems are a pale whitish color and tend to be very long and delicate enough to snap easily if mishandled. I haven’t noticed any flowers or signs that it will flower yet and I have had it for about 2-3 months. It grows fairly rapidly, with additional sprouts coming from under the soil so I am assuming it splits from the roots. It was given to me by my boyfriend’s mother but she doesn’t remember the name either. It seems to be doing ok, though I am a bit concerned that it may need a deeper pot because of the length of the stems-they are at least 3-5 inches long, and as I mentioned, are very delicate and likely to snap. If nothing else I would like to know the name of this lovely plant but if someone could even point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My boyfriend has a serious problem following directions. He listens to the instructions and then it seems he skews them in his brain or something. For example: this morning he had to walk 4 blocks to work. We live on East 38th Street and his job today was on East 38th Street as well. I told him to go out of the house and walk down the block, the name of the first street he would come to, etc. Somehow he wound up 10 blocks in the other direction. I know if it had been me, I would have known something was wrong within 2 blocks (when I saw the numbers going down) and turned around or asked for help. He became very fustrated (he always does when things aren't going his way) and blamed the neighborhood for getting him lost. So I guess my question is really has several aspects: Why is he having so much trouble, how can I get him to acknowledge that it's him, not the universe/neighborhood/etc, and what can I do to help?
