My sister is 10 years older than me, for at least 4-1/2 years she has been getting in to my house and stealing money, among other things from me. I do not have a lot, but what I have is mine & I have worked very hard for it. When cash began disappearing from "hiding places" in my house, I first began to blame my teenage boys for it. Subsequently, on 1 occasion, my ex-husband busted her at my house without my expecting…he had brought our boys by to get something & she was coming out. When they asked her what she was doing, she said she was borrowing something (or a similar excuse). They asked where her car was, as she had parked a block away (telling me she was up to stealing, again), again she had some "story". At the time, being my only relative in town, she had a key to my house. After that I changed the locks & the problem ceased as long as everyone remembered to lock the door. I had even caught her red-handed a couple of times. In the past year, there has been an incident with her sister-in-law. They had a big "falling out" details about which I was not privy, until today. I called her sister-in-law and found out the reason she had "banished" my sister from her & her mother’s home was because, for about 5 years, there had been some question about missing $ in various settings: her daughter’s shower, wedding, and her mother’s home. She could not believe my sister would do such a thing; they had always been so close. But so many instances had occurred, that she hooked up a surveillance camera in her mother’s room & caught my sister on tape. She confronted her brother (my sis’s husband) & got nowhere. I similarly spoke to him and their children, to no avail. Last Wednesday it happened again. I had stashed cash in a crystal bowl…& my son said it was a bad idea knowing my kitchen door lock was broken, I should’ve listened to him…after working a 10-1/2 hour day, I came home to find where I had left the cash the night before. A random thief would take ALL the cash, not to mention various other valuables. I know the old saying, "the only thing locks do is keep your friends honest." But this is ridiculous. She has diagnosed anxiety problems & I believe severe depression. This is a problem everyone is ignoring. I can’t do it anymore. I don’t know what to do. She’s my sister & I love her, but she needs help. This past summer, my son confronted her about his missing wallet, saying, "you steal sh!+ from us all the time." We turned the house upside down looking for it. A couple days later, it showed up, in the middle of the kitchen table, minus . This all transpired into a major anxiety attack & her in the ER with high blood pressure diagnosis. This is why I hesitate to confront her. That, & I have no exact PROOF. She babysits my 8-year-old frequently, and my daughter adores her. WHAT SHOULD I DO? HOW CAN I MAKE IT STOP? Moreover, HOW CAN I GET HER TO ADMIT SHE HAS A PROBLEM SO SHE CAN GET THE HELP SHE NEEDS?

I live in Indiana and in the summer ( or maybe spring) , some hummingbirds come to the feeder. I read an article in this magazine called " Birds & Blooms) and it said about these hummingbirds building nests in strange places, like ropes and windchimes. In the summer or spring , if I place a tiny little bird house ( because they check out anything my mom puts out there) will they lay eggs in it if they are interested in the birdhouse? Or it is not their egg-laying season yet in the summer, in Indiana?

I need to buy a bedroom set, but am set on an Eastern king size bed. I have had a hard time finding one for a reasonable price. This website has one, but I have never ordered from the internet. Is this a reliable store? It has 86% positive feedback. If anyone has ordered from here previously that would really help. Thanks for any advice.

Im looking to do some garden landscaping & in need of some websites that I can maximize every bit of space that I have.

Im start’g on the side yard 1st & have put in my 2 trees & some sod & put in a drip system. But now I need to frame the area around the sod & my trees & in between the 2 (roughly 26′x22′).
But not sure where to put the flowers. I intend to use a total of 30+ varieties as this will be my Master Garden.

Is there a website that will let me create this on my own by color? Im only using shades of Blues, Pinks, & Purples and White and a Purple Alyssum as a ground cover.

Or any websites that could/would show me layouts that have been sketched & used to give me some ideas?

Im think’g of mixing a Mediterranean Garden, a Country Garden, & Arizona Native Garden for my Master Garden.

Ok, I know absolutely nothing about sailing, but just trying to figure out the minimum costs before I take classes, and seriously think about getting one…
How much and what type (brand/make/model) of sailboat that could do the following:
1) hold 2 adults & 2 kids
2) Have an outboard on it, in case of emergencies or no wind..
3) make it from Miami, FL to Key West.

What would roughly be the cost of a "no bells and whistles" used sailboat like this?
How long would it take to travel the distance? (based on average winds)
How much does it cost to keep your boat sitting in a marina

I’m basically looking for a sailboat to do short to medium range sailing adventures in…
Thanks!
Just what is the cost please.
sheesh! I have no intention of sailing anywhere without the proper experience…just wondering what the costs would be..if it was too much then I would take up golf or something else!

My pregnant fiance & me are having a courthouse wedding with a few family members there this Friday. The next day, Saturday, we are having a BBQ reception party at her uncle’s house – he lives in the country and has a nice plot of land. Her dad has bought like 50lb of pork, 20lb of chicken, and like a veggie platter, and some random other things (theres going to be a live band also). Also, he has gotten like a 3 cases of beer. I think at most there will be like 30 people there (hopefully). I’m going tommorow, when I get paid, to get decorations for the wedding and liquor. What kind of decorations and liquor should I get? I have at most 0 budget to go on. I was thinking of white Christmas lights to put around the porch and other areas (there is going to be 2 to 3 fire pits there too). Liquor I planned on getting a big bottle of Bacardi and a bucket of fresh strawberries to make homemade fresh daquaries and some Tangaray (sp?) gin. What else can I get for decorations and liquor?

Just buried someone close to me & 2 weeks after someone came out to their grave & stole lots of items. Things like a birdhouse, birdfeeder, windchimes, a vase, some decorations, & a candle.

we are going to put a camera out there so next time hopefully we can catch them.

I was wondering once we do catch them what would be their punishment?

Finally healed from an injury and want to get my flexibility back, so I wanna do some dancing. I’d like some medium-paced tunes, not too laid back, not too fast. Suggestions would be great!

No point in suggesting any of the Marleys or Brick & Lace, but anyone that sounds alike, totally welcome. Thanks.
Dancehall Ragga….

I am thinking of doing a garden themed wedding. I want it to be simple and elegant. Wanting to use moss and real & fake flowers. Maybe do some moss topiaries to display around the reception. I am having a hard time finding photos to explain what I am talking about. For anyone who has seen the "Secret Garden". That’s kind of what I am looking for.

Any ideas, photos, links would be great. I have found some things I plan on using at save-on-crafts.com.

Thanks in advance!
I have been to theknot.com and several other sites and they really don’t have an ideas like I am looking for.
Suz123—The wedding is not an afternoon event. It is going to start around 5:30pm.

***For the second one, its the Multicolor Studio color I want (greenish one)

even "challenging ones" and probably won’t get one answer bashing me or what my beliefs are on my home or my gardening? But i come here on R&S and can get bashed from all sides with even the most neutral questions and suggestions! Why oh why people is that the way it is here? REALLY!? This imo should be the place where the least bit of that is found, right.? Anyone with me? I think we should challenge ourselves in the interest of, whatever you wanna call it, and see how many answers we can give without attacking the persons Character or Answer in anyway. Can it be done? Surely! Will we do it? NOPE! Why not?
