I Am Considering Buying One Of Those Candles With The Ring Inside. Has Anyone Ever Bought A Prize

Best or Most Preferred .22 LR rimfire rifles as a beginner's firearm for target shooting, hunting, etc.?

I have been doing some online research, reading through forums and watching videos, on firearms because I would like to get into owning and practicing shooting firearms. Mostly as a hobby but also, if need be, for home defense. I am a beginner, and though I feel I have learned a lot in my research, I would like some of your advice.

What would you consider to be the best or **most preferred** .22 LR rimfire rifles, whether autoloading or bolt-action of whichever brand or company, for a beginner, and ones that have been proven in target shooting and hunting? Now, I do not know if I ever plan on going hunting in the future, but I figure if any rifles you could list have solid reputations in being used for hunting, certainly they could handle standard use from a beginner.

In the future I would like to look into other higher caliber rifles such as .223 and .308, so I may be back again one day for more questions on that. For now I'm just looking to get my feet wet. Also, I probably won't buy a rifle right now since I feel there is still much I have to learn, but getting answers from experienced gun owners will help quite a bit. Money should not be much of an issue as I have been saving up, but if you could show me a quality rifle that's relatively inexpensive that would be great!

Thank you for taking the time to read my question. Any tips and advice you could offer me would be very much appreciated.

Help! I bought a djinn vessel from eBay and how to summon a djinn?how long will it take to start bond with me?

I honestly don't know which is funnier, your question, or the second answer. I just love those melodramatic, ominous portents of doom--they are so consistently hilarious.

Here is the line that really makes this sound like a troll. Have you really never heard of the ideomotor effect?

Well, that, and this line. After all, there are never any fake buyer feedbacks on Ebay, are there?
.
On the other hand, you have the link to the magic djinn ring, or whatever it is, and presumable there has to be some suckers out in the world who believe in this nonsense, or else the seller wouldn't be paying Ebay fees to post it. Come to think of it, though, it's not much different from email spam--it only need a percent or two of gullible recipients to make it worthwhile. How someone could dish up $55 or $75 for this, though, I just can't imagine, but I guess there are some low-information voters out there who will believe almost anything. In the end, maybe that's a low price for an educational lesson.
.
Seriously, now. If something like this really worked, don't you think everyone would already have one, and you wouldn't have to be coming here to ask? Now, what you really need to do to get ahead is to hook up with one of those Nigerian princes who are promising to give you a 20% cut of the $34 million they are having trouble getting out of the country--if only they had help from someone like you, to send just a few thousand dollars to help pay administrative fees and bribes to corrupt officials. I really think that is the right play, here, and not magic djinn bottles.

Classy but affordable wedding decor/centerpieces/ect. website(s)?

I've been searching for my wedding centerpieces and decor. The only website I can find online that has CLASSY but affordable options is shopwildthings.com. I have a couple things from that site I'm considering... but before I decide are there any others out there? Unfortunately my fiance and I have to pay for the wedding ourselves and don't have much to spend. So since I can't have the glamorous wedding I've always wanted, the plan is to keep it simple but still classy. We don't want to pay more then 60 on each centerpiece just to give you an idea of our budget on one thing. I've checked out all the local rental stores nearby (up to 100 miles) and they either don't have what I'm looking for, or they just look cheap and outdated. We can't afford to hire a decorator or planner. Any suggestions, good websites for any wedding ideas/planning would be wonderful. We still have a year and half before the date, but are starting to get things here and there now so it's more affordable paying as we go. We've been together for 7 years, I'm 25 and he's turning 27 in another month so we can't push it back any more! Thanks!

Any creative ideas for making a cell model? (not edible)?

I know this would be hard, but if you are looking for a truly original idea... try Legos. I would be expensive and time consuming, as well as very difficult. If you could manage to put it together I would think everyone would be interested and entertained by your project.

Basically, my idea would involve a lot of single colored Lego blocks (mainly green and any colors which you choose to represent the various organelles of the plant cell), and a flat surface to use as the base (which Lego does make). Depending on the size and how creative you choose to get it could get kinda pricey, but having done a Lego art museum for a project last semester I know it can be done given time and money.

I would go for something around the 2in x 12in x 12in department, that way it gives it some depth and enough space to easily identify the various cell parts. You could use Lego flag poles or toothpicks with little neatly hand-written notes to denote the cell parts.

That's my idea anyway. It would be cool if you could pull it off and definitely original. I would love to see it if you could make it happen.

Edit: Luckily I checked in on this question, I was worried about ya. So, it's due Friday huh? How about Play-Doh or better yet colored clay? It's cheap, it's easy, it's fast, and it's fun.

Here's what you do... Go to any arts and crafts store, like a Michael's or something. Find a number of blocks of colored clay - use green for the large base structure of the cell. Make sure to identify the individual parts of the cell with different colors of clay and it might be smart to make a neat ring of light green clay to represent the cell membrane. I would say make it about 1 foot in diameter, and you can choose to bake it if you wish, but I would look up on how to do that if I were you before you do it and possibly ruin your work. It would look much better if you did though. Again, you can use toothpicks and neatly drawn signs to indicate the cell parts.

Good luck to you, and if you can let me know how it works out.

Should we cancel our wedding deposits?

$1300 is losing a lot and when buying a house $5k is really not a lot, considering closing costs run about 10k and you need 20% down, and on a decent home that would be about $40k.

If I was you, I would have the bigger wedding. It seems to me that you will regret it and then whine and complaint and then hang it over your husband's head for ever.

You can downscale your original plan: Cancel the DJ (loose about what $200?) and play music on an Ipod (save $$), downgrade the flowers (wanted roses? have daisies), make your BM wear corsages instead of bouquets (save about $80 each bouquet), do WITHOUT flower girl and ring bearer (no one does that anyway this century), have just a 2 attendants each (and save!), have a lunch reception instead of a dinner reception, do without flower centerpieces and church floral arrangements, print your own invitations, offer candy favors, do not rent specialty linens, use whatever they offer with their standard package, offer only a champagne toast (at lunch time, no one needs to drink anyway), have a supermarket do your cake. Do NOT buy a guest book, unity candle, garter and all that junk that no one cares or uses anymore.There you go, I save you about $4k.


Good luck

ETA: Sellers paying the closing costs? Don;t be naive, that is like believing in the Chupacabra. I've owned several homes and the sellers have never paid the closing costs. So add $10k to your already overly optimistic $7k for a down payment (yeah right), plus the costs of Home inspection (about $400), termite inspection (about $200), radon inspection ($300), moving ($500), repairs ($1000) etc. etc. etc.

Anyway, to answer your question, I've been to dinner in a restaurant wedding, and it was just fine. We were about 25 all together and had a great time at an upscale Italian restaurant, open bar and all . After the restaurant, we went to a beach home and had an after party, it was a lot of fun.

Whatever you decide, make sure it is something that you can LIVE WITH forever as there are no re-dos later. You only get married one time.

Good luck
