quote:I have a Question about FANS... I'm having trouble drawing the (marginally) cooler air from outside into the house. Someone told me I actually need to be pointing the fan out the window, to blow the warm air out, and someone else has told me to have to fan at the window but facing into the room. I've also tried putting the fan at the door (to the bedroom, pointing out to the hallway) to blow the hot bedroom air out into the hallway.
Kitt, if you're still looking for an answer -- the fan in the window should be blowing the hot air OUT of the house. Then you need an open window basically on the opposite side of the room / house so the cooler outside air can be drawn in to replace the hot air going out.

Thanks, Color, about the fans. Some others kindly answered me earlier, and it seems to be working well. We also bought a fan with a timer, so that we can leave it on when we go to sleep and it'll turn itself off. That makes a big difference too. Thanks.

Hmmm, not sure where to pose this question, (so you might see it in another thread later...) But for those off you familiar with graphic design, what are 2 good colors to use in a piece that will have pictures of pools, skies and oceans. Oh, the catch is that it is only going to be a 2-color piece. What is "hot" now?

I took Graphics design, desktop publishing, and electronic publishing in school, and I loved it. Here are my suggestions. Go with complimentary colors. Pools, skies and oceans are all blue so think that the complimentary colors to blue aregreen and yellow. Need some "hands on" ideas. Whip out some markers and start making patterns and lines. With pools, oceans, and skies, you want something serene and cool. You might even pick up some paint samples and hold them up to eachother to decide. JMHO, of course.

What the heck is a 3 pocket folder? I've been going over the kids back to school lists and thats on Caleb's. 3 ring binders and 3 subject notebooks I get, but 3 pocket folders is a new one to me. My neighbor and I were talking about it earlier (her daughter just finished the fourth grade at the same school) and both of us were clueless, lol.

If it's 3 pocket folders they missed the "s" on the list. At first I figured I'd just buy a few of those, but they ask for things for different reasons. Course they only cost a few cents so it wouldn't be a big deal to buy them and find out he can't use them I guess.

Well, I Googled "3 pocket folder" and came up with a TON of hits from various schools, listing it in their school supply requirement. It was a page or two of hits of schools before I found a place that advertised selling 3 pocket folders! So, I'm wondering if its something along THIS line?

Oh Who! I think you've got it! They've used something similar in the younger grades, one of the few things the school actually does supply, except that they don't have the pockets. They're tri-folders and have a bunch of stuff printed on them like color words, math facts, times, days of the week, months, etc. The funniest part is in every class I've been in, they use them as cubby's during test (placing them around their test papers so no one else can peek.) Wonder why they're not giving them to the fourth graders though, unless they figure the info is pretty simple stuff the kids should all know at this age? Thank you! I'd never have thought of it because like I said, the schools always supplied the ones without pockets.

Oops Rosie, I didn't see your post a minute ago, we must have been posting over each other. That could be a possibility too actually. Our fourth graders are in a transition type of year, they're going from classes of 20 kids with real desks and room to store stuff to classes of 30-35 using shared tables. I know my neighbors daughter last year in fourth carried everything she needed for class back and forth between there and home because she had no where to put it in class. (We lost a 4th and 5th grade teachers to 1st grade last year because there was so many 1st graders they were over class size limits, once they reshuffled the 4th and 5th graders had no room at all.)

WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Going on a trip with your spouse and in-laws. Choice is: A: one room with 2 queen size beds or B: two rooms; one has a king bed (likely in-laws get that bed) and one has a queen pullout sleeper. Comfort vs privacy I suppose is what it comes down to. What would you choose if it were you?

2 rooms, privacy (since you are sharing with in-laws, even if you get along great w/inlaws....2 rooms!) it would be nice to also make it a romantic getaway w/spouse. not too romantic w/in-laws sleeping 5 feet from you. eta: unless the stay is just a rest stop on the way to final destination (meaning just to sleep and take a break from driving). then go economical w/one room. of course. if you are on a tight budget....one room would be better either way.

Privacy. I've shared a room with my inlaws once and it wasn't that comfortable. Just because I like to stay up late and I know with just Darren I won't disturb him. I ended up going to bed early and laying awake most of the night. Plus with your own room if youre not taking your son, it can be a mini-honeymoon.
