Bedroom Decoration Help?
Posted on 11. Sep, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
I’m a 15 year old guy and I want to re-do my bedroom. My idea was to have Van Halen Frankenstein wallpaper or paint and have posters of my favorite bands all over the walls and ceiling. Then I’d have a twin bed in the middle with Van Halen Frankenstein Bed sheets and comforter with black pillow cases (or maybe red), then at the foot of the bed have a black or red egg chair facing a small flat-screen HD TV with my Xbox hooked up to it. I want to put a black dresser to the side of my bed and a black bedside table right next to it. Then I would put my stereo on top of the dresser and on the other side of my bed I’d have an area with a guitar stool, amp, and my guitar all set up there and right next to that I’d have a black desk for school work with a comfortable black office chair. I’ll obviously have some lamps and other junk in there but this is the main stuff that im focused on. I think i can easily get a black dresser, bedside table, desk, and office chair. The xbox setup is only if my parents can afford it because i can’t. My main issue is that I can’t find any Van Halen Frankenstein Bed sheets/comforter, or wallpaper/paint. Are there people that will come to your house, look at a design and paint it on your wall? Without you having to buy a wallpaper? I don’t think I want to risk messing up my room by trying to paint the frankenstein design so surely there are people who could professionally do this for me right? And do you know of any place where i could get twin Van Halen Frankenstein bed sheets/comforter? thanks I’d really appreciate your help.

One other thing: Is there a way I could get a cheap egg chair? The ones I’ve looked at so far are about 0 and that’s definitely wayyy too expensive maybe there are some less fancy ones for around 200$ max?
I’ve shared the idea with my parents btw and I already have an xbox I just need to get the egg chair and the TV for that part of it and I could probably get the TV for my upcoming birthday in less than a month.
I’m 5’10 btw so do u think I could fit on a twin bed?

Tiny spiders in my apartment!?
Posted on 31. Aug, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
Okay so yesterday I was pointing my kitchena and when I was standing on the chair I realized my ceilding was covered in tiny spiders. Im terrified of spiders so ever since I’v been constantly looking for them, and killing them. There are so many! Their on my ceiling, my lamps, & the chandaleir hanging from my ceiling, and sometimes on the wall. Today I started realizing webs, and there were even some in the corners on my huge computer desk, there was even one from the chandalier to the wall! yuck! How can I get rid of them? I live in a building, and I’d have to wait until the end of the month when the monthly pest control comes in, and I dont want to wait that long! I feel like their crawling all over me lol eww

Posted on 22. Aug, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
Tenant rented my TH the 1st of AUG and wrote me a check totaling ,400 for 1st mth rent (,200) & Sec. Deposit (,200). In addition the Tenant wrote a second check that same day totaling ,000 for the purchase of: (3) complete BR sets (including mattress, lamps, & TV each BR), (1) Living Room set, (1) Kitchen Table w/ (6) chairs, & (1) Computer Desk. BOTH CHECK BOUNCED! Tenant owes me ,400 + plus late fees.
How do I go around writing a 5 day PAY OR QUIT NOTICE?
Would I include the Sec. Deposit & Furniture debt in this notice??
Please Help I’m a single mom who needed to down size because of money issues. I was not trying to make a profit! Tenant was suppose to take over payments… I did this so I wouldn’t lose my house (LOL)
What a nightmare : (

Need a cool ceiling lamp…?
Posted on 31. Jul, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
I’ve looked at ikea, urban outfitters, anthropologie, and cb2 but can’t get excited about any of the ceiling lamps. I need one for my bedroom, kitchen, office, and a wall one for the bathroom but nothing is jumping out at me. Any other suggestions from places I haven’t thought of? I can spend a few hundred, but would rather not….
this is roughly what i have: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100533188&N=10000003+90401+500910

If i hired a moving company to take just my bedroom stuff from oklahoma to ohio, how much would it cost?
Posted on 24. Jun, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
No washer/dryer, no refrigerator, nothing but the stuff in my bedroom thus 4 boxes of cd’s, 2 boxes of dvd’s, a large wooden shelf with a TV in the middle, a dresser, around 40 shirts/jackets, my computer, my alarm clock, the computer’s desk, the lamp on the desk, an extra small table, a printer and the chords with it, a yahama keyboard, one acoustic guitar in its case, one accordion + case, one box of LP records, & finally, my record player.. How much would my total in a mover come to? Its certainly not as big as a normal move, so that is why im asking… It’ll be from my parents house in Oklahoma to my aunts house in Ohio.

Betta Fish checklist – Do I have it all?
Posted on 14. Jun, 2011 by Lighting Expert.
Today I have done some mega research, and I feel very confident about my future as a betta owner. My poor Rosario is in his little bowl right now, but it’ll all be fixed up soon! I have created a checklist of all that I think I will need in order for me to do this right and for him to be happy. But I would really love it if you all could take a look and tell me if what I have picked out is appropriate. I will provide links and names. =)
Overall Set up
- 10 gallon glass aquarium; the ones you find at Walmart. It has been used before and held up well. Not in bad condition at all, just a few waterspots. (I already have it.)
- Hood: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3730+13447&pcatid=13447
OR
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3730+3792&pcatid=3792
I’m sort of against the last one because of how small that stupid door is, and because it doesn’t mention if there is a cut out for a filter or heater. It doesn’t need to come with a light.
- Filter: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3940
I’ll be going with the Biofilter 3, since it is for tanks up to 15 gallons. (But I find it weird that they are the same price…)
- Air Pump: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=3724
I’ll be getting model # 50.
- Vinyl Airline tubing: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=6124
Which and how much should I get? The price jumps from .59 to .99, then .99. I don’t think I’ll need the .99 one…
- Heater/Thermometer: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3635560
Is this good? I think it says it includes a thermometer, but it may just be referring to presetting temps.
-Gravel: I have gravel that is still in that aquarium I’ll be using. It’s been outside for a long time, and it isn’t the whitest gravel around anymore… Should I just go ahead and get new gravel?
- Decorations: I’ll get these as I roam around PetSmart and Walmart.
Cycling
- Ammonia & Nitrite testing kit: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4345+13524&pcatid=13524
Since a nitrate testing kit isn’t exactly mandatory, I don’t think I will be purchasing it unless I magically find extra money lying around. :p
- Pure ammonia
- Computer on how to go through with the fishless cycling process
- I do have an established tank, so should I take anything from there and put it in my tank, like some gravel? If so, how much?
Other Information
The reason I don’t need a light is because I have enough light in my room for my betta to have a sense of day and night, and I won’t be keeping live plants at first. Later on, I would really like to get live plants and eventually a light to add to the hood. I read that a reading/desk lamp would suffice for providing enough light for the plant, right? And I read from many sources that bettas don’t NEED a light directly over them in their tank.
Also, I am on limited funds, since I am only fourteen years old. I am too young to have a job to make money, so I won’t be able to afford the most top notch things for Rosario, but I am going to do whatever I can to get him what he needs. I do have some money and plans right now to pay for this, but I might still spend a little more than I have. (I could sort of pay my mom off with 5, but it’s a tad confusing on how it would all work. xD Sometimes she is generous and will just let some of it slide if it’s cheap)
Anyways, if you have suggestions of cheaper, but still efficient products PLEASE let me know! (Especially the tank hood!)
To anyone who is actually taking the time to read all of my post, I can’t thank you enough. I want to do this right and need all the help I can get, and opinions so I don’t start ordering products that work like poo.
Black Kat – Oops! I forgot to add dechlorinator and siphon to the list because we already have both of those things for the other tank, so I figured I could just use that. I’ll be sure to get a thermometer. ^^
Whitney W. – I will most likely have to get a hood because my cats like to come in my room when my rats are in their cage. I can keep it off whenever my cats aren’t in my room though, so I suppose the small door isn’t an issue. Just as long as it has the cut-out and provides a bit of protection.
My other tank is 26 gallons I think, so I can definately get some water from there and put it in to try and jumpstart the bacteria growth. 
TetraLin – A lot of people are starting to do fishless cycles now, and there are lots of things about it that show up on google. The high amount of ammonia and nitrites are really bad for the fish, as I’m sure you know, and result in death or a shorter lifespan. I really don’t want to hurt him any more than he has been in this life. -Cont-
I’ll see if I can get some Prime and add stuff from my other tank into this one to help it all, and maybe I can add him into the new tank sooner.

and that’s everything I picked out so far. it will take a while though because everything together is up to like 224 dollars. any more ideas that are cheap that would go with the room ‘theme’ though would be greatly appreciated. and please comment and tell me what you think and everything. btw i’m 14, female. and the theme for the room is obviously colors like black, white, and pink.
Thanks "oh i’m falling", I really do love your ideas (: and I also realized your from Raleigh, NC, that’s pretty cool considering I’m from York, SC, so you really don’t live that far away from me.
