5 AnswersPrimary & Secondary Education1 decade agoI need help lowering the volume of a neighbor's t.v./ideas for a universal remote?
The condo board sent him a warning letter. His response was to turn up his t.v. The police only consider it a nuisance after 11 pm. My brother suggested TV-B-Gone. That device only turns off the tv; it doesn't lower the volume. Is there a universal remote that works on tvs unseen (brand unknown) that can control its volume? If so, what brand and model is it?

4 AnswersTeaching1 decade agoIEP (individualized education plans) - Why do parents in middle school initiate this process?
Do they think it will make a child who is a couple of grade levels behind suddenly catch up? Do they think this document means their child will get daily one-on-one services? I am not saying special ed. needs don't exist. What I am questioning are those parents who thought their child was gifted for several years and now because the kid is failing in middle school suddenly think a learning disability must be involved. Additionally, they think getting an IEP is like a magic pill that will make the problem go away. Since I can't flat out ask them these "nonpolitically correct" questions at the meetings, I thought I would just throw it out here.
5 AnswersParenting1 decade agoContractors, please expose the magic numbers. How much does it cost to remodel these items?
sliding door to a patio, 6 foot bedroom window, remove a tub and install a walk-in shower with new travestine tiling
Every time I try to google it, all I can find are people who want to come out and give me estimates. I want to know a number before I meet these people, so I can tell how inflated their prices are. The Flip That House show hasn't been too helpful because they don't itemize the work they are doing.
2 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoI feel the media is being biased towards Obama. Why aren't they embracing Clinton? She has the experience.
