    Couldn't find the spider solitaire but this one will waste your time for a bit. I'm at about question #43 before I'm stumped. It's the one where you have to finish the dog story: http://theimpossiblequiz2.org/

    Sidewalk question

    Lol, had to look up "frost heaving". We DID have a snow back in 1985, I think it was. Our ground gets so dry that it's common to have huge cracks in regular, level dirt that you walk around on. I'm talking cavernous cracks. It hadn't occurred to me that different regions could have different...

    Sidewalk question

    Then what would keep those sections from floating up and down in rain and dry times? We get some severe drought down here in S. Texas.

    Sidewalk question

    My wife is onsite manager at an apartment where some concrete is being laid. Is there any way this could be correct? Doesn't the rebar need to be secured to the porch and connecting sidewalk? Does the form need to be level or submerged in the ground? I hope to save her management company some...

    Board Games

    I'm trying to remember something for a project my son is working on. It's a card game that plays on selfishness. It goes something like this: You both have a red card and a green card and maybe another color card, I can't remember. If you each give each other a green card you both get the...

    This is one of my neighbor's cars if you don't like clean and shiny: However, we've been slowly fixing it up:

    Board Games

    Y'know, I've always thought that games would be one of the best ways to teach kids how to think, learn and problem solve by strategizing. Once I went with my son to the Space Center in Houston. On the bus ride over I asked if anyone wanted to play a car game. My son's best friend say's, "No...

    Wow, that is a lot of selections. There are even ones with hinges... cool. I found one that looks just like ours though, thanks for the link:

    Board Games

    I would have to go through tons of pictures on the off chance it would be in one but I found this one online. It's very similar but ours was more shallow. I can only assume the one in the picture below would be annoying trying to take out the stones or beads, too deep and narrow. Seems like...

    Mancala, my parents had a nice handmade board that they used as a coffee table type decoration that visitors couldn't ignore.

    Board Games

    I miss them, grew up with them. Can't find people to play Scrabble anymore, my favorite. The online versions just can't compete. Play cards (Spades) online when I feel like getting cussed at. I drag Apples to Apples to family gatherings just in case people want to have a few laughs without much...

    Door frame question

    Thank you very much. I'll take this into consideration as I take new measurements. I should be going into the big city tomorrow and this will help. Didn't think about the height.

    Door frame question

    Ok, I have a situation where the doors are an odd size and cannot be found again, they are just a fraction of an inch from being able to be replaced in the same frame. They are barely smaller than average doors that are found commonly in stock. If I replace the whole frame, doesn't that mean...

    Ha... that hadn't occurred to me. Humiliate people by talking down to them. Since I've tried to quit drinking Coke, I don't judge anybody's (legal) habits.
