RE: Ideas for a 16th Birthday Party
If you are into the vampire book series, "Twilight", you could have a Twilight or the coming soon movie "New Moon."

Personalized new moon invitations that look like movie ticket:

Red, Black and white are good colors for this type of party

Birthday's direct has "New Moon" party supplies.

If you had enough people you could have a Team Jacob/Team Edward game time, whether it would be baseball game or some other game.

You could have trivia for the twilight series.

You could watch the Twilight Movie.

You could serve non-alcoholic red punch in plastic wine glasses. Red velvet cake. You could have Italian food-like Edwards family tried to feed Bella: Pizza, salad, bread sticks or lasagna, salad, bread sticks.

Fun candy ideas: Candy Blood Bags

Since the twilight book has apple on the front, you could have a bowl of apples as a centerpiece for your table. New moon has parrot tulips, so you could check the fake flower isle at Walmart or such. If you have the books or could borrow, you could set up a mantel with the books. A fog machine would be cool.

Of course for music the Twilight sound track (I'm sure one of your friends has it if you don't)

If the birthday is after Halloween, hit Halloween clearances for vampire inspiration.

Have fun!

RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party
We always went by the rule of thumb to have only as many kids as they are old. So at 6 years, only have 6 kids. And that being said, should help you should parents be unavailable for help. If he likes playing army, then have a army birthday. Kids could dress in camouflage.

You could have a face painting with camo type face paint (you can get probably in this Halloween season) http://www.orientaltrading.com/ui/s ... k=all&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&N=0

You could have a cake with army men. You could take inspiration from the colors to decorate with. ... View related article.

RE: What Breed Is Our Dog?
Was he mixed with smooth coated border collie? Now in the pet stores and online you can find Doggy DNA kits to find out what breed you have, if all else fails. By the way- very cute baby you got there!

RE: Covering Windows With Plastic to Reduce Heating Bills
You could get a tube of window caulk and make sure to seal around the window insides that may be leaking. Also, you could use old quilts (if you don't have them a thrift shop like goodwill or salvation army would), cut them up to the size of the window and you could stitch them nicely and use velcro strips on both quilt and the inside of the window inside the framing of the window, that way you can take them down when desired and put them up next year-and also that will give you room to hang thermal curtains in front of them. You can find at walmart. ... View related article.

RE: Removing Paint and Grout from a Bathtub
Razorblade: scrape it off, like you are going underneath. It will come off, but do not use corners or you could scratch. I used this when I used to clean apartments. ... View related article.
