QUESTION:
GUYS in their 20s--Do you think this a good idea? Or too over the top?
My bf is in his late 20s and I know he wants a John Deere hat. So I've decided to get him one for our anniversary (don't worry, it's not one of the "big" anniversaries). Do you think it would be over the top if I put the hat on a teddy bear and gave it to him? Build a bear makes some that coordinate a whole outfit. Personally, I think it's adorable, but I don't want him to think it's stupid! My bf is pretty young at heart though, so I think he might like it. Or it could be one of those things that guys would think is gay!

The bear has overalls and everything, but I just don't want to get him something that looks like it's for a little kid, even if I do think it's cute...here is a picture!

The hat I'm getting him is not the one in the picture...it's bigger. Thoughts?Thanks :

• ANSWER:
  A hat on a bear is something YOU think is cute. Try to think from his POV. Unless he has a large collection of teddy bears, he will not much care for the idea. Oh, he'll fake that he likes it to spare your feelings, but he won't like it.

  How about you tell him you have a gift for him and to wait in another room. Then go to the room where he is waiting wearing nothing but the hat. Say something like "I got this hat for you but I think it might look better on me, what do you thinkg?"

QUESTION:
What's the worst car your parent's ever owned and did you proudly get in it or resort to taking the bus?
My mum used to have a white Skoda which said '5 speed' on the boot (ooooh 5 speed wow) and was built like a tank - we're talking the old 80's type. It sounded like a tractor and always overheated. It was the biggest pile of rubbish she ever owned and was a complete embarrassment - however, I always got in and took a ride home!

• ANSWER:
  My parents had a van that was held together with duct tape and sheer will power. You could not open the back door, because it would fall off. But I never turned down a ride.

QUESTION:
Top Gear do you think it's gone down hill this year?
I am a avid fan, Top Gear was always about fast cars, and
rubbish one too, but this year they have shown us,
How to build a road, How to get a Robin Reliant into space,
How to drive rubbish American heaps across America,
How to drive or not to drive tractors in Bedfordshire,
and How to make your own Limousine.
Not much to do with fast cars then?

• ANSWER:
  Nope.
  The episode where they came to the U.S. was funny as hell.
  I'm glad I don't live down there in the south, especially Alabama.

QUESTION:
how do you keep someone off your property?we recently got a survey done again on our commercial property.help!?
this has been one thing after another with this neighbor, this neighbor has told us he now owns property all the way up to our side doors on one side of our building after purchasing it recently a few years ago. We have used this vacant lot for 20 years. He has blocked up from using that side with mounds of dirt and semi trucks backed all the way up to our side door .It was our only access door on that side of the building. The mayor and city building inspector assured us before anything was ever built it would be engineered and planned out. AS soon as the mayor went on vacation for over a month the building went up quickly and no engineering was ever done Then he ended up building on a corner property line his eves our totally on our property and he continued to use our property to build on and we have seen him move the property stake We got a hold of the building inspector before any of this building went up and before the mayor went out of town they witnessed this problem and that the property stake has been moved it was not right .We now had all four corners surveyed and the survey totally shows his eves and one corner of the building sits on the corner of line. He has removed our mail box and will not stay off our property.Last weekend I left for lunch for a half an hour and the neighbor got out the back hoe tractor and dug up the land in between our buildings and was getting ready to put sewer pipes in. I called the cops the cops told him to stop he told them no, and proceeded till 10;30 at night to place pipes in and cover it all up and the cops they always say its a civil mater I have been to the city building inspector this whole time, the mayor knew about this dispute, the chief of police no one seems to help -today he finally hired his own surveyor but shouldn't he have already done that before ever building a building? he says he is not going to stay off what can someone do?help

QUESTION:
Do you think the world would be a better place if...?
We could all give up our dependence on technology?

For instance if we started growing our own food, building our own houses, using horses instead of cars, candles instead of electricity, mules instead of tractors. If we did away with television and video games, and the internet. Basically if we devolved, so to speak, our technology. If we did this, which to my eyes would be near, if not completely, impossible, do you think we would be happier all around? No longer working for someone else, but doing things for ourselves. Go back to the the days of a twice or thrice yearly market day so we could trade goods with neighboring towns. I just want your opinion and why you feel that way. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Oh, goodness! I don't mean anything near as drastic as the Amish. They have their very deep religion to follow, and there are restrictions to what women can do. That is way off where I had in mind.
A couple people seem to be thinking along the lines I was, though. I do believe we have become too dependent on technology to give it up at theis stage. It would be nice if we could find a middle ground, though. I guess my depression has got me looking at beeter days. Nothing, but a fantasy, and a dream made of sand. Thanks for the answers so far. It's good to see what others think.

• ANSWER:
  I think people valued the important things in life a lot more before science and technology took over, but I don't think people would be able to manage without these things at this stage of the game. You don't miss what you never had, but taking away peoples freedoms would only create chaos and anger at this point.

  WTF you are going to crash this place. One question at a time kid. Also if you make that your heading no one will awnser your question

QUESTION:
What do you think of the beginning of my story?
What do you think of it so far? I don't care if there are grammar errors I will fix them later this is a rough draft. So what do you think so far? WHat could I do to make it better?
CHAPTER 1:
Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus, Morgantown, Cumberland, Baltimore, Salisbury, The towns came and go, Callie not caring one bit, sulking, not saying a word while the rest of the family chatted about Blue Ridge, and how "great" it was supposed to be.
But to Callie, any place that does not have basketball can't be great. Instead, Callie remembered all the wonderful times she had on the farm and on the court. Help delivering a cow, which she named Ellie, making the game winning basket at the state championship game, milking all the cows every morning, making the varsity team for the next year, which, now, she wouldn't even get to play on, driving the tractor, walking across the soft earth barefoot, working in the fields all day, her dark farmers tan. She half-heartedly listened to her mother talking, and her sister asking questions about Blue Ridge.
"Mom, what time do classes start? Because you know I am not a morning person and can't get up early, like Callie."
"All your classes are 1 and 15 minutes long, and you have 15 minutes between classes, and they start at nine, although you might not have one at nine, the schedule is like college, and you will have free periods."
"Oh, ok, thats still way to early though."
"So are you going to try out for any sports?"
"You know I hate sports!"
"What about you Callie? Are you going to do any sports?"
Callie ignored her, like she had been doing since she had to leave, letting her mother know how she felt about this new school.
As they entered Ocean City, Callie became more and more upset, reality sinking in, harder than ever. Her Future as a Basketball star, gone forever, her days at the farm, gone until June, fresh cow milk every morning, home grown produce, going barefoot, feeling the soft earth on the tough soles of her feet, all gone until June, the school holidays.
They pulled into the parking lot at Blue Ridge, and found the office soon afterward, and Callie sulked as her mother got her schedule, dorm assignment, and textbooks, and Jordyn got her own, as she was not uspet about Blue Ridge at all.
"This showed they truly were fraternal twins," Callie thought, "she was a country girl, and a hard core athlete. Jordyn, on the other hand, hated the country, was super girly, and hated sports. It seemed like the only thing they had in common was that their parents, teachers, and friends thought they were geniuses."
They had skipped the second grade, and STILL everyone thought they were geniuses, but Callie didn't think that she was, she was constantly confused in school, and didn't even get all a's. She got all A's in the off-season, but during basketball season it was all b's. Callie didn't get why everyone thought she was so smart, when she wasn't, she wasn't dumb, but she wasn't smart either.
They walked across campus, her parents and Jordyn admiring the ocean view, Callie loving it, but not showng it. She refused to give her parents any satisfaction.
"What dorm are two in?" asked Mom. Callie sat her suitcase and backpack down on the bench, took off her sunglasses and pulled out the folder with her schedule and dorm assignment. "That One" Callie said moodily at exactly the same time Jordyn said the exact same thing excitedly, as they both pointed at the same steel building right in front of them. It was the Amanda L. Wilkins dorm. All Blue Ridge dorms were named after the first teachers, who taught in 1993, when the school opened.
Callie did have to admit the dorm did look cool, Steel with a Blue Door and trim, and lots and lots of windows, all the way up to 9th floor. They entered the building and immediately felt the rush of cold air from the air conditioning. They took the elevator up to the 6th floor, stopping at the 5th floor when a scrawny little girl who looked like she was a 6th grader, got out with her parents.
They reached their own dorm, opened the door, and found one other girl already there, putting clothes in the closet. There was a set of bunk beds in one end, and two twin beds at the other. Callie and Jordyn sat their stuff on the twin beds, and introduced themselves to the other girl, whose name turned out to be Elise. Callie noticed that all her clothes were from name brand stores, most with tags still on them, and all very new looking. She glanced at her suitcase, stuffed full with clothes, none of them new, all at least a year old.
They started putting some of their own things away, too. Elise finished when they were halfway done, she told them they would go look at the campus when they were done, this was her first year also, as she plopped down on the huge 5-cushion couch, next to Callie's mom. The couch was ocean blue, just like the curtains, doors, bunk beds and trim.
One hour later, maps in hand, Callie, Jordyn, Elise walked out o
out of the dorm and onto the campus. Callie and Jordyn said good-bye to their parents, and promised to email on their new mac laptops every other day.
They walked around campus, seeing all the buildings, tennis courts, and the outdoor pool, as well as the gym and indoor pool. Callie felt a pang of sadness when they entered the gym, remembering her basketball dream. Tears welled up in her eyes, wishing with all her heart that Blue Ridge had a basketball team. I mean, they did have lots of sports teams, Volleyball, Football, Cross-Country, Wrestling, Boys Basketball, Swimming, Track and Field, Lacrosse, Soccer, Golf, Softball, Baseball, and Tennis, but no Girls Basketball team. With those thoughts in mind, especially the thought that the boys had a basketball team, made Callie start bawling, and she couldn't stop, nothing Jordyn or Elise said could stop her.
They went back to their dorm, and Callie laid on her bed and cried and cried. Finally, she felt she could cry no more and sat up. She went and sat on the couch, next to Jordyn. Elise asked Callie if she was okay, and after Callie replied (I guess so...)
Callie started questioning Elise.
"So, do you play any sports?"
"Yeah, I played basketball last year, but obviously not anymore, but I will tryout for volleyball and softball, softball is my favorite sport"
The thought got Callie on the verge of tears again, but she held them back this time.
"What position do you play in basketball? I play point guard, and I was supposed to be the starter on the varsity team back in Wyoming."
"I also play point guard, but I was probably only going to be on Freshman or JV team back home"
The Threesome continued to talk, and found out that Elise was from Upstate New York. She had 3 brothers and 5 sisters. Her youngest brother, Jakob, and youngest sister, Edyn, went to public school in New York, and lived at home as they were too young to attend Blue Ridge. Jeremy, 11, lived in the Benjamin A. Huebsch dorm. Kaelyn was 12 and has Autism, so she goes to a special school in New York for Autistic children.
Her 13 year old sister Isabelle was in the Melissa D. Wible dorm. Living in the Adrienne L. Young dorm was her sister, Kristin. Off at college were Kylie and Mason, her oldest siblings.

Elise, Callie, and Jordyn went down to the Cafeteria, and had dinner, slices of pepperoni pizza, salad, and hot fudge sundaes. Full and tired, they went back to their dorm, the dorm door slamming behind them, waking the last roommate, who had appeard while they were at dinner.
"Why the hell did you dumb asses wake me up?" asked the roommate, who was dressed fully in black leatherhear long fingernails painted black, her dirty blonde hair, was dyed black, the very tips showing dirty blonde, proving it was dyed.
It is called "Shattered Dreams", I think, lol I haven't decided.

QUESTION:
How am I being harsh and brutal with my daughter?
I am currently married, and we have an 8 year old daughter together. However, we previously split up shortly after her birth, and I haven't been living continuously with her until a year ago.

She is very poorly mannered--whining on a constant basis, back-talking both of us, continually disobeying an order even when you say "No--no--NO! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?!? I SAID NO!" Her grades at school were horrifying--she had to repeat a grade, not because she is learning disabled, but because she would rather make paper dolls and draw pictures as opposed to paying attention and doing her homework assignments.

My wife's idea of "discipline" is shrieking at her, putting her in a timeout chair, and nothing further. One day after this girl flipped me off, I decided to put my foot down and introduce some real discipline, but my wife says I'm being too brutal. Here are some examples:

Case #1: Some construction workers were painting a building across from us, and she thought she would be cute and throw mud balls all over one side of a freshly painted wall. Since this was directly before I was supposed to be taking her and 3 of her cousins to a carnival, I made her stay with me on the bench while the other 3 children rode all the rides.

Case #2: I overheard her using the F word once again. As opposed to my wife simply saying "Watch your mouth!" I squirted some liquid soap on a paper towel and rubbed it all over her tongue and teeth.

Case #3: Her 3 cousins came over for a little get together party my wife decided to hold for them. My daughter asked me if they could hook up my Playstation 3. Being that she has a serious issue mistreating property, be it hers or someone else's, and being that she broke her own Nintendo Wii only after 5 months, I told her no and explained why. After about an hour, I went downstairs to see the 4 children gathered around the television, with the television facing away from the doorway and the volume turned down. I then saw that she had gone in my room, sneaked out the Playstation 3, and hooked it up anyway. I hollered at her right in front of the other 3 and ordered her straight to bed. I refused to let her come out as the other children partied.

Case #4: She was outside playing with her friends, and I looked outside to discover her playing inside one of the tractors of the above said construction site. Being that I previously warned her to stay out of there, I went over and once again yelled at her in front of her friends even though she was clearly embarrassed, then ordered her to bed--even though it was only 5 pm.

My wife says I need to ease up, but she has been doing absolutely nothing to direct this child. Who is right?

• ANSWER:
  In my personal opinion, I think you're going a bit overboard--just a bit. I have comments on the cases you presented:

  1. I completely agree with what you did.

  2. Soap in the mouth isn't my thing but some people do it. If it worked, hey! Great.

  3. I disagree with giving out some random consequences for her breaking her Wii. The two just aren't logically connected to me. But, I completely agree with consequences for her blatantly going against what you said.

  4. Sending her to bed at 5 pm was okay I think but not the yelling at her.

  I think you both need to stop yelling. It's not effective behavior modification and only serves to make the child immune to yelling. Some time ago, they did a study on what effective disciplaniarians do. One thing they found was that the effective parents give a big dose of empathy before the consequence. What that helps to do is to let the child realize that it was their own behavior that caused the consequences. It's not coming from the parent, but from the child's own actions. "Ohhh, dang it Suzie. I'm sorry you punched a hole in the wall. It looks like you'll be spending your next week's allowance on the repair supplies and your Saturday helping me fix it instead of going to the pool." In my opinion, the consequences should be related to the misbehavior if at all possible.

  Maybe you and your wife could browse through some books, DVD's, websites, etc on discipline and agree on one particular method. Or, come up with your own thing that you can both stick to.

  I think a good idea would be to have the household rules listed somewhere. (No swearing, Respect property, Don't disobey mom or dad.) Then let her know what the consequences of breaking the rules are. Taking away privledges would be a good one. Maybe no TV or computer the following day or something. Also, I think a reward system would be good. Maybe a point system or some kind of chart. A sticker chart...When you catch her being "good" at random times, add a sticker to the line for that day and let her know why. Maybe for every 10 stickers there could be some tangible reward; another dollar to her allowance or a trip to the park, for example. "Oh, Suzie you did exactly what I asked you to. Thank you. I'm putting a sticker on your chart." I'm just blabbering out ideas.

  I think you and your wife do need to meet in the middle somewhere and come up with a discipline plan that you can both do, either your own or one that one of the "experts" has come up with.

QUESTION:
What would be a good starter John Deere Tractor Project?
My young son is totally into John Deere Tractors. I am thinking about getting a 30 hp antique model to play around on. One that needs some TLC, but not one that needs to be broken in half for a ground up restoration.

If you were going to start with that, with a good stand blasting and coat of paint, ease of finding parts, and ease of entry, what would be a good John Deere tractor to start off with?
The tractor is more for Daddy right now, but would like to be able to have stuff like this in the backyard so I my son progresses, he will have an understanding and appreciation. I am not getting it so he can operate on his own.

• ANSWER:
  For a backyard tractor the A series may be a bit much. In it's day it was considered a midsized multiple use machine. There were only two models bigger, the D and the G. The model B was one of the most popular small sizes but the L, M and H model John Deeres are all smaller than the B. The model isn't the factor of what you will need to do to restore. They were all quality machines in their day and what they will need to be restored depends on the condition when you buy. Opt for a row crop (wide stance) front end since they are more stable. A consideration for a new driver, be it you or your boy when his turn comes.

The model B was one of the most popular small sizes but the L, M and H model John Deeres are all smaller than the B. The model isn't the factor of what you will need to do to restore. They were all quality machines in their day and what they will need to be restored depends on the condition when you buy. Opt for a row crop (wide stance) front end since they are more stable. A consideration for a new driver, be it you or your boy when his turn comes.

• ANSWER:
  a good place to start is call John Deere they should be able to tell you how old it is. As far as the value its really worth what you can get for it. I would check auction houses and see if the have sold anything like it and what it sold for. Plan on spending a good bit of time doing research because you will probable get a very wide price range depending on who you talk to. one other Idea is to check with farm museums.

QUESTION:
Where can I find an antique John Deere tractor?

• ANSWER:
  Craigslist, eBay, or some of the JD forums that you'll find online. Honestly, though, I think your best bet is to look around your local area or state and ask around. Look in the classifieds and network. You'll want to take a look at the unit firsthand ideally, so that you know what kind of antique John Deere tractors you are buying.

QUESTION:
What would be a good starter John Deere Tractor Project?
My young son is totally into John Deere Tractors. I am thinking about getting a 30 hp antique model to play around on. One that needs some TLC, but not one that needs to be broken in half for a ground up restoration.

If you were going to start with that, with a good stand blasting and coat of paint, ease of finding parts, and ease of entry, what would be a good John Deere tractor to start off with?
The tractor is more for Daddy right now, but would like to be able to have stuff like this in the backyard so I my son progresses, he will have an understanding and appreciation. I am not getting it so he can operate on his own.

QUESTION:
What type of antique tractor had metal(sheet) covering the top of its tracks?
I have seen this old Antique tractor every time I go to church. Its rusty but looks like a Johne deere MC. This type of tractor has the tracks like a tank. When I drove by it I saw on both sides of the tractor sheet metal covering the top of its tracks. Not the sides just the top from back to front. I know Catipillar and John Deere had sheet metal covering the tracks near the seat, but not from front to back. When I say sheet metal i mean it looks sturdy not flimsy cheap steal. Anyways if you could tell me any names or Info on this that would be great thanks, Tyler

• ANSWER:
  It could be many different models of a Caterpillar tractor. They will have the metal covering the whole track si so it can be walked on.

QUESTION:
What copyright laws do I need to know before selling reproduced antique signs?
My father creates antique signs made from old advertisements. He carves them out of wood and gives them as gifts. He'd like to start selling them on the internet but we need to know more about copyright laws. Many of the signs he has made are of companies that are no longer in business, but he would like to look into using some old Coca-Cola or John Deere ads.

From my knowledge, there might be some problems with the companies that are still in business, but not the older companies that are no longer around. Is that correct?

He has also bought tin signs in stores and attached them to wood and made them look more antique. Can he resell those since he legally bought them?

Thanks for your help!
He normally gets the images that he uses out of old clip art books that he used to use when he designed newspaper advertisements. He thinks that because he was able to legally use the images for newspaper ads, that he shouldn't have any problems with creating a unique type of advertisment on wood. If his assumption is true, then if he uses a old illustration or photo of a Ford Model T on a sign, would he be able to use the Ford logo or even the Ford name not in it's logo format? That is where I feel it gets tricky...

• ANSWER:
  The opwner of the copyright may not be the company advertised, it may be held by the advertising agency preparing the ad or even the artisit responsible for it. Your Dad might still run into problems with companies long since defunct.

  Also the copyright laws vary from country to country (although they are very similar in most western countries). Assuming you are in the USA this website gives you a good overview of the legal position about copyright

QUESTION:
Mom has collection of collectable toy tractors, some antique. She wants to sell but not ebay. Suggestions?
Stepfather left mom a collection of collectable toy tractors when he passed away. Most are John Deere ERTLE tractors, but some are older including an early 1900's McCormick Derring Cast Iron Tractor in Excellent Condition. Mom wants to sell the collection but doesn't do e-bay and doesn't have a lot of time to sell these. Does anyone have a good suggestion for how she could best take care of this with the least work and the best results?

• ANSWER:
  Go to an antique store or fair & check out the booths. You'll usually find at least one who specializes in antique toys. She should take a list of the tractors with her & maybe an antique dealer will buy them from her. If there isn't a dealer booth there the owner will know who to refer her to. Also ask the owner if he/she knows who can appraise the items.

  Also, check the want ads for appraisers and the "Want to Buy" ads.
  She could also put an ad in the paper once she knows their value.

Is there any internet sites were i can appraise have them appraised? or recommendation of places to call like do antique stores appraise things?

• ANSWER:
  Some unusable things may be usable things for somebody else. Your unusable articles have attracted somebody, who may have some idea with it. Probably he may sell the same in the market where somebody will be doing some kind of recycling of such things for which he may be getting some bucks. Or else, he might be interested in collecting in suchitems.
