I am with a non profit organization that was recently made benefactor for memorial donations in memory of a deceased family member. My question is what is the proper way to extend thanks for the contributions both to the family and the donors?
send them a thank you acknowledgement of receipt in memory of…..
or publish same in a newspaper.
My husband and I don’t care about nightlife or entertainment outside of home. We want to move somewhere where rent on a 2-3 bedroom is around 6 hundred, but not to the ghetto. Any ideas?
what about just in Texas in general? any family oriented cities? even older cities?
Once you get outside the major cities and suburbs, housing prices come down and there are hundreds of smaller towns in Texas with good schools and a great set of values for raising children. Once you’ve been there for a time you’ll never want to leave. As a very rough rule of thumb anyplace under 25,000 in population.
We are building a new house and my family is looking to create a home entertainment system. We would like to know what are the best in ceiling speakers to buy and an amplifier and woofer to go with them and how much would it cost
You could easily spend several thousand dollars on ceiling speakers if you wanted to.
This site is a good guide for wall & ceiling speakers.
http://www.in-wall-speakers.com/
It even has a guide for installing your speakers.
I personally think the best sounding ceiling speakers I’ve heard are JBL. But everybody’s taste in what sounds good is different. It’s best to listen for yourself & buy the speakers you think sound best.

I am invited to a Christmas Eve party, in loo of Christmas. The couple who are presenting the party are doing all the food and entertainment. It is being done in another persons home, who also will be there. All these people are family to me. What is appropriate to bring, and to whom should I give it?
Thank you for clarifying the host and hostess thing and the gift thing.
the couple that are doing the food is the host and hostess
the owner of the house is a host or hostess as well
you could bring a box of cookies to the givers of the party and a box
to the owner of the home
I’ve bought the other seasons but heard no news of this season or season 7. Does anyone know any information of the seasons and when Paramount Home Entertainment will release them?
by the end of the first quarter in 2010.
I’m fine them playing my casual games, like Singstar, licensed games, etc and games I rarely play but not my actual games. I let them play but I don’t like it.
I’m getting a Wii for Christmas and apparently my family wants to play with it..
I can’t go "No. You aren’t a gamer. You can’t play these video games. Learn your video game history and then you can play.", that would be rude..
Help?
Let them play it…it doesn’t matter if they know the history of the game and stuff its just for fun.
Christians say you won’t remember all your family and friends who are burning in hell if they did not accept Jesus. And you won’t worry about it in Heaven. But our very identity is defined by whom we know. So…
Without any memory of your family and friends, have you lost your self identity in Heaven?
yes. happiness in heaven is based on ignorance.
