I am looking for a nice quiet place. Willing to drive up to 5 - 5 1/2 hours from Baltimore Maryland. Taking my family. Last year we rented a secluded property in upstate NY, with a private pond and fire pit etc.. I know the websites for vacation rentals just looking for a nice destination. Hiking, boating, maybe near a small town with interesting museums and/ or shops. Want a peaceful relaxing getaway for a few days. (Midweek). Any ideas would be appreciated

I am leaning towards the 360, it is cheaper and has a 12 optical zoom. The 620 has a 25 optical zoom which makes it appealing, but I will use it to take family photos and for school events with my class. Not sure if it is worth spending an extra $50. Consumer reports rates them both about the same with the 360 having a slight edge. CR rates the 360 with a score of 60 and the 620 with a score of 54.

I signed up for a 5 months free trial so I wont be billed until them. I don t do that much printing. Basically for $2.99 a months I can print up to 50 sheets and rollover any unused sheets.It goes buy sheet not by how much ink is used. They automatically send me new ink when the cartridges are running low. Or am i better off buying refilled ink?

I tried toothpick and krazy glue, pen refills etc... Nothing worked. Any ideas?

Left lens is fine right edge has like a rainbow reflection on the bottom and inner edge. Not terrible but annoying and distracting. Any ideas what it could be, and any solutions?

My original prescription that I am wearing now is

Right eye -4.50 Cylinder +1.25, Axis 080

Left Eye -4.50 Cylinder +.50 Axis 95

Both with an addition of +2.25

(I originally wrote the wrong info in a previous question)

My new is

Right eye -4.25 Cylinder +1.00, Axis 085

Left Eye -4.25 Cylinder +.75 Axis 90

Both with an addition of +2.50

I saw fine with my old glasses but my eyes were very fatigued and my doctor lowered the distance and increased the addition slightly. He said I wont notice much of a difference. But when I put on my new glasses it was really blurry. More than that, I can't read through them unless i tilt my head all the way to the right and then I can use the right eye or all the way to the left for the left eye.

The optical store measured the new glasses and say it is done as prescribed. My doctor was unavailable, but the optician in the doctors office also said they checked out as prescribed, but after he looked at it for over an hour said when he measured the lenses manually the optical center is off by more than 20 mm and is assuming, that the original blank was defective, and this is rare. He agreed that I should not really notice much of a difference between these and my old glasses. The original store is redoing it assuming it is poor optics. It is a mystery, and I am afraid there will be the same problem again. Any ideas?

My old prescription was -4.50 Cylindrical +1.00 axis 075. Left eye -4.50 Cylindrical +.50 axis 105.

My new prescription is -4.25 Cylindrical +1.00 axis 085. Left eye -4.25 Cylindrical +.75 Axis 090.

Both have an addition of +2.50.

I saw fine with my old glasses but my eyes were very fatigued and my doctor lowered the distance and increased the addition slightly. He said I wont notice much of a difference. But when I put on my new glasses it was really blurry. Assuming the lenses were done correctly, (and the optical store is willing to redo it) why am I having a problem when the prescription is not much different?

My glasses are -4.25 with an addition of +2.50. They are comfortable if I am reading while sitting at a table. Still there are times I will take them off and hold the book closer. For real small print I take them off and use OTC reading glasses +2.25. My optician explained that the progressives don't magnify it just weakens the prescription for up close. So since my distance is -4.25 the reading portion would be -1.75, which allows me to get closer but still doesn't magnify. Is this true?

My prescription is -4.25 with a progressive of +2.50,

I know the polycarbonate are thinner and shatter proof, but I heard that they don't let in light as well which affects vision. Regular plastic is also cheaper.

Which is a better deal and more reliable car?

I use them for mp3 player mostly to listen to audiobooks and recorded lectures, not really for music. I don't need exceptional sound for this, but I do want earbuds that are comfortable in the ears, don't fall out and keep a charge for a decent amount of time. I bought vivitar bluetooth earbuds at wallmart for $5. They were ok but they fall out of the ear easily and only hold a charge for about 2 hours.

I am looking for something that is under $20, and holds a charge for about 5 hours.

She can't win. and if she wanted Hillary to be president, she shouldn't have run. After all the little votes she got came away from Clinton. She knew that when she ran. So why now is she the one requesting a recount? Just when you thought the election was finally over.

I just bought it at Safeway (supermarket). I know that wasn't a good idea but I saw it and bought it. It came in a tiny plastic flower pot in a plastic tube. I took it out of the plastic tube and since it is still warm outside I put it on my deck for sunlight. When it starts getting cold soon I will bring it inside to my windowsill.

One mistake is, I watered it with tap water, I will get distilled water tomorrow.

Will one day of tap water kill it? Can it live long in that tiny pot?

I like the van but I could use a back up camera, which became standard in 2013. I have someone to install it. There are so many for sale I don't know what is best. I would like something that is similar to the 2013. I have a 8" radio screen but no navigation.

There are wireless, camera on the rear view mirror etc.. Which one should I get?

It cost $1600 for 5 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first).

My car was totaled. My insurance evaluated its value at $6300. I felt this was low. As many times as I contacted my adjuster he reused to offer any more and said they would stop paying storage fees. I hired an independent appraiser who evaluated my car at over $8800. I have the car at my mechanic, I don't want to release the car until they give me a fair settlement. I am afraid if I release the car they will drag their feet on paying me anything. My mechanic tells me they must pay storage until the give me a fair settlement and right now they haven't. What do I do?

I am very interested in a van I saw today at a used car dealer I trust. Made a Carfax report and it revealed an accident 2 years ago. The dealer checked his auction records and couldn't find any mention of an accident. I had it checked out by a reliable mechanic and he couldn't find any trace of body work. He also checked all the panels and said he doesn't detect any paint job.

Would you buy and what gives? If there ws an accident there should be some sign of it

Both have around 29,000 miles and both cost about $19500

Both are in good shape bodily and mechanically. Is it worth an extra $5,000 for the newer lower miles. (I am leaning towards the 2012 to save the $, because I think 82,000 miles is not that high on a Sienna.)
