my home was built a number of years before my neighbor built their home. now they have planted a ash tree that will block my view of the valley. I live on a mountain bench above the city. we have an excellent view of the valley and sunsets. their house sits directly behind and lower than ours which took out some of our view. now they are planting trees to give them privacy from our rear decks. what can we do?

You know what, it’s your own fault for being too cheap to buy the vacant lot next to you before your neighbor built his home on it. If you wanted to ensure that you would have your view for the rest of your life then you should have spent the money, bought the lot, and kept it mowed. It is now his property and he can do what he wants with it, so keep your mouth shut and mind your own Business.

I have had neighbors try to tell me what I should and shouldn’t plant in my yard over the years and I responded to them by putting up a tall privacy fence. Quit being so selfish and realize that your neighbors have rights too and you are way out of line trying to control what they do with their own property.

If you really think that you have a right to tell them what to do with their yard, then offer to make their house payments for them – that is the only way I would give a neighbor like you that sort of consideration.

Ok so im still writing this essay on how the health systems in france. However I do not understand how their health insurance works. So could someone explain it simply please. I understand that most of their Health expenses is covered by the state- but that is all i get.

I’ve lived here in France for 9 years and am not an expert…. but….

Salaried employees pay tax as does their employer on their income, which is called ‘Social Charges’ this covers health and retirement among other things. However it doesn’t usually cover 100% of health/medical costs!!!!

Normally the standard contributions cover about 75% of the medical costs. People who are in the French health system have a ‘Carte Vitale’ (Health Card) which has a chip with their ID on. This allows them to get discount when they go to the Chemist for a prescription and allows the Doctor to access their records.

Many people take out a private Health insurance or ‘Top Up health insurance’ to take care of the final 25% medical fees.

Normally if it’s a serious illness then the standard state covers 100%, things like Broken legs, cancer etc.

Good luck with the essay!

and what exactly does one do once joined? does everyone go as a group to one anothers house for fun and work of helping each other w/their gardening or what?

Garden clubs vary greatly. You need to ask what YOU want from a club and find one that fits. Many are geared towards the social aspect with education such as flower arrangement, gardening and some social project. Many help with a garden in a school, nursing home and the like. Many also hold flower shows.

Garden clubs may run from mostly social to those really dedicated to public service. I’ve never heard of one going to each others’ Home and helping with the garden, LOL! cool idea.

Plant societies gear their activity towards a certain plant, say rose society or daylily society. Their’s is education based, they may have a public garden and usually have a flower competition.

Then there is the Master Gardener programs. These are for experienced gardeners who receive around 40 classroom hours in education and return those hours in public service thru the Extension Service.

If you are in or near a big town, look in the phone book. Sometimes a group of garden clubs may purchase a building to hold their meetings. Ask at local nurseries and garden centers. Call the Extension Service, they often keep track of local garden clubs or have a name of someone to contact.

If the garden club is having a flower show, they will list it under the happenings section of the paper. Also the State Fair may have state wide flower competition. That would be a good way to learn about clubs throught out the state.

I am considering buying the sleigh bed in Queen, the nighstand, the dresser and chest. But before I pay for the Furniture, I am afraid that it doesn’t hold up. Has anyone had this furniture line from Walmart? I see the reviews on their website are good, but I am afraid those people reviewed immediately after receiving the furniture. Does it hold up? Is it easy to take care of? Thanks!

u just have to remember its wal mart it isnt going to last forever nothing from there does their furniture is ok but kind of cheesy iwouldnt recommend a dresser from walmart i didnt have any luck with them it want the same set ur talking about but the ones i got had very weak bottoms so my clothes would push teh bottom out and everything would fall out it was incredibly annoying tho i have bought a computer desk and that has held up good it was a pain to put together but as far as holding up its done good and also i bought a tv stand type of thing that was kind of used as an all purpose cabinet bookshelf nightstand junk stand and that held up good so far also and i cant say anything about a bed from there or a chest and liek i said the dressers i had were not the same set as your getting but im not so sure i would be open to buying another dresser from there good luck tho

Hi, This is an odd question, but I absolutely LOVE Mayfair and one day would love to own a huge house there and basically be able to afford one. I am planning on doing Economics Finance and Management at University and i was wondering, what job in that area could make me a millionaire?

I know things aren’t that simple but I’m just really interested in knowing!

Or any job to do with Economics…

Thanks!

Hi,

Owning your own businnes and having multiple streams of income are the way most people become millionaires.

It sounds like you have 2 passions 1/working in Finance and 2/ living in Mayfair.

Sometimes your passions can not give you your dreams. So if they don’t or won’t in the timeline you would like…then find other ways to create the wealth you want so you can live your passions.

Read online or pick up a book by Robert Kiyosaki, He talks about how to create weath and use multiple streams of income.

Example: Income from rental property you buy, returns on stock investments, small network marketing Business, and your salary from your employer. The 1st 3 are the most powerful, because they allow you to leverage your time and make money when you are not actually working.

I do all 4 and even during this down economy I see growth overall. Growth in 2 of the areas (real estate properties and network marketing), equal in my job and of course right now my stocks not so good. But overall still growth.

I wish you the best at both of your dreams. Email me through my profile if you want to chat more.

Live Happy,
Karen

I am curious to see what people answer. And also what people would consider environmental events. Thank you. I really need answers pronto so all the help i can get is welcomed
would you consider the birth of a child an environmental event, or a dog attack an Environmental event?

natural disasters – like hurricanes, earthquakes, etc are what first come to my mind when I think of life and behavior altering environmental events

I imagine if you were in a life or death situation or lost loved ones or even a large amount of your possessions in a natural disaster, it’d have a lasting effect. My house burnt down when I was 16 – and it greatly changed the way I looked at things.

I am curious about the Education level of people on Yahoo answers, especially in the business section. Would you please tell me your education level and the type of degree you hold.
For example, I have a Bachelor of Sceience in Business Administration with an emphasis in Strategic management and I am almost finished (March 2008) with my MBA. I am just curious to see how many people hold college or graduate degrees.

Bachelor’s in Business Administration for Business Management. I just started my MBA and will finish November 9, 2009.
