The two talking cats

JimmyB — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:59:20 +0000

– Update – Here’s a music video I’ve made (not related to the cats though!) : www.youtube.com Stina and Mossy usually fight instead of communicate, so this was an odd moment. They kept “talking” for about 1 hour, constantly. Thanks for all the positive responses! – Update – The GEICO Gecko has found interest in our cats, and here’s the result: www.youtube.com – Update – Alot of questions have been asked concerning their relation to each other, gender and so on. They are not related in any way, both are females, approximately 10 years of age when this footage was taken. Mossy is the one to the left, which makes Stina the one on the right side =) They are both still healthy and vigorous. – Update – What went on prior to this clip: www.youtube.com – Update – Here’s a nice translation: www.youtube.com

What is the best flooring in a rental home?

MrAuthor — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:36:24 +0000

I’m thinking of moving and turning my home into a rental. The wall to wall carpet needs to be replaced. The house is built on a concrete slab. What is the best type of flooring to use in a rental home? Carpet, Laminate, Composite Wood Flooring? I can’t afford hardwood even though it would last a long time. Perhaps a combination would be best? Carpet the bedrooms but not the rest of the house? Should the kitchen and second bathroom be tile or laminate?

How can I buy travel vouchers to give as a gift?

MrAuthor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:57:22 +0000

I would like to buy travel vouchers to give as a gift. They would be for travel originating in the UK – most likely to European destinations. Ideally they could be redeamed online and could be spent on both air travel and hotels. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. I want to get the vouchers from a UK based company or website.

What does real estate rental management usually cost, and what do they do?

MrAuthor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:30:36 +0000

I’m thinking of buying a rental, but I don’t want to hassle with renters, etc., and I’m wondering what it usually costs, and what all they do? For instance, if my renter calls to report a leaky toilet, do I get the call & set up a repairman, or does the management company do that? (obviously I realize I pay for the repair…) I’m in California.

What truck driving school would be considered as good and legitimate?

MrAuthor — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:59:21 +0000

I have one suggestion of sage tech. Are there other good truck driving schools that are honest and not just out to take money from people and pass them no matter what. I have seen news on this problem and do not want problems in the future. I would also ask what amount of driving can be expected as opposed to classroom time?

What is the cheapest rental truck I can get to move out of state?

MrAuthor — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:16:54 +0000

I am moving and it will take 7 hours to get to my destination so I should only need an over night rental. I don’t have too much stuff (bedroom furniture, a couch, and boxes), but want to tow my car with it. I looked at a few companies and never realized how expensive they are! Plus many of them are for three days, which I don’t need. Any suggestions? Thanks!

MrAuthor — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:45:26 +0000

HELP!!! I have a Colombian passport and need to travel to the EU. My passport has my before family last name but I got married and took my husband’s last name. Now all my documents including the green card has my new last name. The tickets were issued with my new last name (though the company I work for) but they do not match the passport names. Colombia doesn’t change the passport names. Will I have a problem to apply for the Schengen visa or travel to the EU? Any answers much apreciated!!! Thanks!
