I recently got engaged and came across a prize opportunity when I subscribed to a bridal magazine. It seemed legitimate and I didn’t have to provide any personal info besides my name and phone number. The opportunity was to win a pair of crystal glasses as well as other prizes. I won the glasses and I also won an all-inclusive vacation through Kitchen Craft Cookware. I was contacted by phone and spoke with an actual person who answered all my questions and explained the offer. It is somewhat similar to a timeshare giveaway. I was told several times that there is no obligation for me to purchase anything and my financial info will not be needed. I was given a claim number and asked to attend a Kitchen Craft West Bend Waterless Cookware Bridal Registry showcase at a Wyndham hotel. It is just for couples and only last 90 minutes. So far that seems to be the catch. I don’t mind attending the showcase, I might be interested in what the show offers and it is a short distance from my home. I am just looking to hear any advise or info from anyone who has dealt with this company and/or had the same experience. Is this legitimate. How can I tell. Where can I check the company out at.

Thanks.

I bought a house that was built in 1953. It has been remodeled very well. The Bathroom and kitchen both have GCFI outlets and the living room and bedroom have 3 prong plugs with the proper wiring. The rest of the house does not. The workers replaced the outlet covers to have 3 prong without actually re-wiring a ground.
A. isn’t this/shouldn’t this be illegal.
B. What should I not plug in.

I know my tv/xbox/ps3 etc. will go onto a surge protector and be plugged into the appropriatley wired outlet. What equipment or fire/shock hazards should I worry about.
Can I still plug in my Fender Hot Rod Deville and jam out.

I’m really worried about plugging in a guitar amp (Tube) into a 2 prong plug.

Is it costly do fix. Can I do it myself. (I am mechanically inclined, but I have been shocked before, hence the electric question)

I think most of them are anal and serve no purpose anymore. But I would like to start some new ones for the modern age. First, If someone is wearing headphones, don’t talk to them. They are listening to music or something and they cannot, do not, want to talk to you. Even if they are family. Please, only if it is urgent. And no, a mutual friend breaking up with someone is not urgent. Second, if the TV is on, and one person is watching, or a group of people watching silently, don’t have a noisy conversation in the kitchen or whatever room is nearby. They just want to watch TV. Third, and this is important, cereal goes soggy quick. Do not start a conversation with someone who is eating cereal. They don’t have long before their nutritious meal is gross. Fourth, all dogs must have an indoor time, especially at night. We don’t care if your dog sh^ts inside, that is your fault. But them barking at night is bad neighborly conduct. Bring them inside at the latest, 11 o clock. Fifth, don’t be mean to your neighbors animals or let your kids be mean, (I use that word neighbor a lot, who do I think I am. God.). Lastly, some people are shy, leave them alone. They don’t want to be bugged.

How do new manners get started.

btw, no, I am not stiff azzed jerk. I don’t like most of those annoying rules that are archaic and useless. Like utensil placement or something. These rules I wish to start are basically pet peeves of mine and other young people. Seriously, older people, headphones mean shut it. TV means shut it. Dogs are great, but freaking TRAIN them. And people who talk too much, shut it around cornflakes, they don’t have long to be good. And other young people, don’t harass neighbor’s pets.
@helios. Yes, true manners come with empathy, but empathy is not an age thing. maturity has nothing to do with empathy. I felt other’s pain even when I was like 5 or 6.
@ angeloneus, please don’t tell me how to use my technology, that is rude:)
There is a time and place for everything, including talking. Music or podcasts are where people like to escape for a while. And in my case, podcasts are where I learn about my religion. So. No. I am not going to talk to someone when learning about something important, just because they want to comment on the whether. It is not being mean, it is being real. Cereal gets soggy, and cereal bars are not as good as the real thing. Shut the FK up when a loved one is eating cereal. You obviously have no idea how to USE technology and not be USED by it (the TV stuff you said). But I am just trying to watch Lost when people are talking in the kitchen. I turn it up, suddenly I am “rude”. Do you really imagine a world where people never shut the heII up. People need some silence in their lives, so they can realize that most of what goes on in their heads is BS. Seriously, watch your mind carefully.
@ socially disturbed, in school, I WAS the shy kid. I did not want to have a school life and I did not. It was where I was comfortable. I know what the shy person wants, or what the fake shy person really wants.

Also, none of you are answering my question. (well, maybe some of you are trying to). How do manners get started.
I live in a place that is like 95% white people. So I value white people things like “personal space” and “me time”. But I have heard that in Hispanic cultures there is less of that, is that true. I realize that culture is important don’t get me wrong.

WHY is it that people who talk too much can never tell that you are ignoring them and just pretending to listen. Strange.
The tastier the cereal, the quicker the soggify. Don’t like cornflakes. How about ctc. That stuff is da bomb of bombs.
Oh yeah, actually, my neighborhood is relatively dog quiet nowadays. But a few years ago.

Ok. so I want to hook up my XDM7615 stereo to my kitchen or someplace in the house. How would I do it. I need links directly and step by step on how to do this. I want to maybe connect it to the wall and then make it able to play and everything. all answers will be helpful. Will i need something like a converter or anything. Please list the names of all the equipment that I will be needing. Like I said anything helps so please post everything in here. THANKS.

Fasta Pasta - The Microwave Pasta Cooker

The kitchen cabinets are filled with dirt, grime and mouse feces. The oven is completely coated with burned food and grease, the fridge had mold all around the seal and there were paint chips on the floor around the door frame on the living room.

My landlord installed a new door on one of the bedrooms and left sawdust, splinters and tools behind. He promised to clean them up at two different times yesterday, but nothing has been done.

New carpet was installed before we moved in and now carpet is hanging into a couple of the electrical outlets, which is definitely a fire hazard.

My house connects to a studio apartment through a causeway. Our key does not unlock the door to the apartment, just the door to the causeway, so if someone were living in the studio apartment they would have access to our house. My key also unlocks the studio apartment.

I have taken pictures of all of these problems, but I have no idea who to send them to when filing a complaint.

I will be calling my landlord to complain about these issues first thing tomorrow morning.

I live in Kentucky, if that makes any difference legally.
When my roommate and I looked at the place about a month ago, the landlord kept saying he still had things to fix and clean up and they would absolutely be done before I moved in. I guess I’m a little naive to think that a landlord would actually do the things that he’s legally required to do before I moved in.

I need some advice on what color to paint our new kitchen:
the cabinets are white with stainless steel hardware, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, backsplash on one wall is “galaxy blue” subway tiles with a stainless steel stripe running through (1 inch wide), floors are almost a grayish/silvery color (very light), and the kitchen opens up directly to the living space area which is painted a very soft yellow (it’s called “moonlight sun” or something lame like that). Also, there is a half-wall between the kitchen and living space which is a white brick that we intend to keep white.
Any advice would be appreciated.
