you know how in closets, there’s usually a bar that people hang clothes from on hangars?
has anyone seen a dresser/bar combination? where the furniture piece has both a dresser and a bar to hang stuff??

i’m thinkin they have it at ikea but i cant find it there
please help me thanks in advance =)

I broke up with my fiance 5 times over the past 5 weeks.
We recently started a business together and have promised to be professional in spite of a break up.
He lives in my home and all his clothes and furniture are here.
His children’s furniture and clothes are here (sees them once a fortnight).
He always promises to change and begs to try again but i’ve reached a point where i want a better or at least a peaceful future.
I have terrible insomnia due to stress and anxiety arising from problems in our relationship.
I enjoy many of life’s simple (boring) pleasures and he enjoys smoking weed.
We work hard during the week and by the weekend when we have time together all he wants to do is go and get stoned.
After 3 months of arguing about this he has promised to give up.
I feel i have given and given and given and not received enough in return.
The result is i have put my life and happiness and peace aside to curb arguments – i have become a quiet creature only crying out for help when it all gets too much.
We are both wonderful people.
On occassion i have been afraid of him as he beat me quite severly once when he was drunk.
He had no recollection of this once he sobered up.
It took me 18 months to find my voice after that as i was afraid of angering him although he has not had a drink since.
Instead he turned to weed because he can’t drink.
He has distanced himself from my family ever since his drinking and weed problems emerged and slowly i have distanced myself from his children.
My want to put effort into saving our relationship has diminished to my need to rebuild my life.

My question is this – although he has promised to quit smoking and beg for forgiveness to fix our relationship and dedicate himself to saving us… why do i need to raise the bar and ask for more and still feel it may not be enough?

Will they stop eating at restaurants, thus restaurants will go out of business?
Will they stop taking vacations, thus the travel industry will suffer?
Will they stop buying clothes, and furniture, cars, homes, etc.?
vbasic says "end of innovation." That is based on a flawed assumption that all inovation is financially driven. There are people who are inovative regardless of financial gain.

My boyfriend is a cook at a local chain restaurant and I need some idea on how to get the kitchen smell out of his clothes! Regular washing with detergent and cold water doesn’t work. Please help!

1. Just bcos u r working- do u not expect any gifts from your husband?
2. How do you feel when your husband "LETS" you pay & does not offer to pay when you go shopping for (a) your stuff- like clothes, jewelery (b) common stuff like restaurant, food, furniture, etc.
3. Do you OK if he thinks that you would buy him stuff when you go for shopping for your stuff.. eg. my husband said "can u get me a scarf when u go there to give some clothes for u"?

I understand nowadays, it is all equal & also the financial burden.. but i feel that i am a li’l old-fashioned in hoping that my husband gets me stuff like simple rose or earrings, without my asking him.. what wud be ur response for the above questions

I have a 1-year old dog (border collie, bulldog mix) that is very affectionate and basically a good dog. She is also, though, very protective and aggressive to strangers which is good and bad at the same time… One problem she has is that she eats everything.. I mean everything. Clothes, kids toys, deck furniture, cushions and anything else she can get her mouth on (ever seen Marly and Me?). That’s annoying, but we can deal with that sort of behavior. The real problem is that she has begun showing aggression toward my daughters (3 and 5) which is not something my wife or I are willing to deal with. My older daughter was unexpectedly attacked by our family dog when she was 2 – he was a great dog we’d owned for years, and other than some food aggression never showed any signs… but one day… my daughter was very luck I was standing there when it happened… we had to have him put down and it was devastating. We vowed never to have something like that happen again.

The problem is that the Humane Society may not take her. What do I do if that happens? We can’t keep her, but if the HS won’t take her in, what other choice do I have? I don’t want to force her to stay locked in the bathroom/deck or chained up in the backyard — I love and respect dogs too much for that sort of horrible treatment… Any advice would be most welcome!

This may be long and Im very sorry!

Im 21 and my now ex is 28.met and it was love at first sight! He literally took my breath away, something I have NEVER felt before in my entire life. I knew from day one that he was the one… he had been married once before when he was 22 because she was pregnant with his son. he was then married again when i met him, but had filed for divorce but still living with his wife. I cut all ties and said I was not going to date someone who was married let alone living with her, Within 4 days, he had found an apartment, told his wife he was leaving and all contact was cut. He is from England and had nothing here in the states so when he moved into the apartment,Everything he had was under his wifes name because she was American. he had his clothes and a tv, so we started a life together, fast! within a month I had moved into his apartment and we had purchased furniture and made it our own.within the first year we got two kittens, and two dogs. everything was perfect.

The next year, we decided to purchase a home and this is when everything went downhill. He paid for everything, I mean everything and he never had a problem with it, at first he liked providing. I would pay for things when i could but I only worked part time and was a full time student. I paid the utilities when i could, but i did a lot of the grocery shopping or getting him his starbucks daily. When we moved into the house,things became more expensive and stressful on him. We began to argue about stupid things, which i believe stemmed from our financial issues. it got so bad that we began spending less time together. I know that I have an anger problem, so i would scream at him while he would give me the silent treatment, we did not communicate as well as we once had. I held grudges where he just needed space and I was never good at giving him his space.

We are both insecure and extremely jealous people, but it never was a huge issue because we were both so similar. because he came form the UK, he didnt have any friends here where I did, so eventually i got tired of not being able to talk to my friends and seeing them. He also wanted to control what i was wearing and didnt like that i spent an hour to do my hair and make up and get ready when we would do things, i wanted to look good for him! We are both attractive people and I was so scared of losing him (girls loved him, and his accent didnt help) so i wanted to make sure I was always attractive to him.

The straw that broke the camels back- he went out one night without me, said he would be home at 11 but wasnt until 1. he was at the bar across the street from my work. I stopped over there on my way home from work and saw him talking to two girls and one guy outside and freaked! We got in a huge fight and I broke up with him. It was the worst fight we ever had. The next morning we talked it out.A week later he left me and said he couldnt get over how I acted. I moved back home to my parents.

He broke up with me and didnt talk much for two months.I was devestated. I loved him and wanted him back. His birthday is new years, I asked him to a movie the night before (I had plans on new years) and he said yes. we went to "our" house after the movie and i ended up sleeping there and yes, we slept together. He asked me over on New years (his bday) but like i said i made prior plans. He was upset and accused me of being with someone else. over the next month we were hanging out and sleeping together and seeing how things were going. until… I found out that he was talking to two other girls, one who happened to go to my college who told me everything! She was 18 and worked at the local starbucks and he went in there everyday for his coffee and asked her for her number. the other woman, a 26 year old with two kids going through a divorce, was a regular at starbucks, she asked him for his number. He lied to me about it until I had proof of texts and emails from these women. I ended our "fling." Two weeks later he contacted me and apologized and showed me that he stopped contact with them. We got back together officially for a month, things werent going well. He was so distant and off with me, but he came to me to ask me back!!!!

A month later, he left me again and said that the spark was gone and he felt no chemistry. He said he loved me as a friend and that he still cares about me but isnt in love. I made the biggest mistake ever and begged and pleaded for him to try! I wouldnt let it be and it pushed him so far away that he said there is never a chance! its been two weeks now and he tells me he is going on a date tonight! Im physically sick and want him back! Moving on is not an option. I was so strong but now im desperate! I broke down and now he is annoyed and furious with me that i didnt drop it and move on and leave him to his space. He said i pushed him away by smothering him
HELP ME PLEASE! I need advice to get him back!!
Also, He still talks to me he still will help me with things that i ask such as moving or help with my computer.

And all this drama never occurred until the last 3 months of our relationship. we were perfect for a year and 9 months with no issues ever!
one more thing! SORRY!

He never gave a past girlfriend another chance! He always said that they are an ex for a reason, i never beleive that, i beleive you can work through anything. He also said when we got back together that he saw a huge change and me and that i was perfect for that month, but he couldnt explain why he couldnt get the spark back.

IM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT HIM DATING AND FINDING SOMEONE ELSE!

okay im done now.

okay im done now.

I have had a leather office chair for 4 years now. It’s not visibly dirty but it stinks. Im not a dirty guy, but I work as a film editor, so I can sit in the chair for up to 16 hours somedays, so obviously all that back and ass sweat has gone into the cushions. It’s gotten to the point where I have to cover it with bin bags so my clothes dont smell.

I’ve tried leather wipes but its not the surface, I think its the stuffing in the cushion.

Any suggestions?

I am not a smoker but I have some friends who often come round that are. When they come round they are really good and never smoke inside and go to the patio at the end of our garden, but they do always tend to have a smokey smell on their clothes/person.

Can the smell from their clothes be soaked up by my furniture/tv/walls etc? I just really hate the smell of smoke. Or is the smell just soaked into their clothes

Why Me?
Chapter 1
New in Town
Great! Rain again! 3 weeks and it still hasn’t let up. We moved here, to Washington almost a month ago and it made realize how much I took Wisconsin’s sun for granted.
Turning over to see the time projected on my wall I counted down the seconds until my alarm went off.
"5-4-3-2 and 1." some old country song blasted through the speakers. I jumped up and shut it off on my way to the closet.
"No, never, NOT gonna happen!"
Talking to myself wasn’t going to solve my current clothing issues. According to my mom I had plenty of nice clothes to start the school year off with. As you can guess I thought VERY differently.
"I guess I’m stuck with this."
Pulling on a blue T-shirt and the first jean shorts my hands touched, I flew out the door with a granola bar.
Walking into the near empty library I sat down in a comfy chair with an old copy of Wurthing Heights. I didn’t understand the book at all but it kept me busy and it was also the only thing the librarian would let me touch seeing how I didn’t have a card. I had just flipped to chapter 2 when I heard the bell on the door ding.
In walked a cute boy about my age with deep brown hair and a peaceful but, sad look on his face. I knew I shouldn’t have stared. That was just common sense. I should’ve kept reading or at least pretended to. The key word is should’ve. I should’ve done it but, I didn’t. Just because of those couple moments my whole life was going to change. Of course if I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn’t be telling you all this, now would I?
With my luck the second he turned around from talking to the librarian I was still staring. His eyes met mine and a smile crossed his face.
"Hey." He said shortly as he started walking over.Only now did I notice that this kid was tall. He was at least a good 5 inches taller then me and standing at 5’4" I wasn’t short for 13. Maybe he isn’t my age after all.I thought still smiling omigod what if he’s a freshman? He was practically in front of me now so I just replied with a ‘hey’ unfortunately he wanted an actual conversation. He sat down on the stool next my chair still wearing a huge and friendly smile.
"I’m Lukas Hale, Luke for short." He held out his hand which was surprising cold for the 70 degree weather. "I haven’t seen you around town." He was still smiling but a puzzled expression crossed his face.
"Well, Luke my family moved here a couple weeks ago and I’m Ally short for Allison." I don’t know what made me trust this guy, I don’t usually talk to new people. Okay before I tell him ANYTHING else I need to at least to know how old he is. "So, what school are going to? I’m starting Marshell."
"Yeah, me too. The only other school is the high school and Kingston is for the kids living way out in the country."
It might seem like he said it like I was stupid but he didn’t. The way he said it made it seem like I couldn’t of even tried to know that.

i have more written but i want to know if i should continue? and if there are grammatical errors it’s because i don’t have spell check
thanks for any help
I kind of have writers block at the moment too so if you guys wouldnt mind I need help thinking of a secret he could have. When I started writing the story it was going to be about vampires (I just finished the Twilight series) so that was going to be the secret but now I’ve changed my mind. So any secret for Luke?
Just in case anyone is wondering I’m a 13 year old girl and thanx again for your time, advice, and questions.

Okay, let me give you a little detail on what my room looks like now, the size of it, what’s already in it, etc:
The size of my room is exactly 10 feet by 11 feet 2 inches (I’m in an apartment).
The things already in my room are a brown oakwood dresser, a matching nightstand, a double slider window with that little bar at the top, a silver TV stand, a protruding heater, a built-in double door closet, a queen sized bed with no slacks or nothing, it’s just sitting on the floor. Oh, and there’s this little wall when you come in my room about the length of one of my arms (I’m 5’8).
The walls of my room are all white with the exception of a few little marks and/or stains that unfortunately my younger brother put up when he was in here. Same thing goes for the cream-colored floor (I’m really looking for something that cover the stains.)

Now let me tell you what I’m looking to achieve after the makeover:

I want my room to look like something out of a better homes and garden magazine or something remotely close to it. Like I want the walls to be a bright white, the floor to be covered by a nice colored or patterned rug. I want some really bright curtains with some matching patterned bedding. I want like some really nice furniture coverings for my dresser and nightstand and stuff. Um, I want to be able to cover my walls in like some really pretty posters of people or patterns and if I can, I want to be able to hang like some little shapes or something from my ceiling. I’m also looking for a cute lamp to go in here too. Oh yeah, I have a lot of stuff in my room everywhere (tons of shoes, clothes, makeup, etc.), so any cute stylish storage suggestions would be nice too. And anything else that could really set my room off as lovely and beautiful would be grand.

Oh yeah, if you haven’t noticed, I’m a little bit of a pattern and color freak

If it helps, my favorite colors are royal purple and cerulean blue.

Thanks In Advance For Your Help!

P.S. I don’t have a lot of money like that so if the suggestions could be low-price, that’d be even better.

My family (parents, cousins, uncles, etc) always give clothes or electronics on Christmas. Should I break the family tradition and give someone a bench for their patio? The bench is sold disassembled in a box, so I can wrap it and put it by the tree.
