Where do you draw the line on roadside stands? That is the question that has some people angry with the city of Belleville and Mayor Mark Eckert for the ordinance that bans transient vendors except for nonprofit events and firework stands.
With a bit of ingenuity and effort, many everyday items can have a life well beyond their intended use. Reusing bags and containers not only extends the product's utility, it also delays the item from joining the solid waste stream.

No matter what you may read in the next few paragraphs, remember this: A diamond anniversary is no mocking matter. Reaching the age of 75 is an achievement; to do it without changing much from the day you were born is this side of a miracle.

I love a good surprise, especially when it comes to food. So, when I ate two of the Rhubarb Cookies made from the recipe below, I made all kinds of smacky noises -- I'm glad I was standing in my kitchen with nary a witness in sight -- and licked up whatever crumbs I could find. It was like eating two tiny, moist iced cakes. Delish!

Q. I bought a Jasmine plant with white, sweet-smelling flowers. It did not have a label. I was wondering what type of Jasmine it is. It has eight white petals. Can you tell me so I know how to take care of it?

Q. I have a question regarding the proper wear of nylons. There was a time you didn't go out of the house without nylons/hose if you had a dress on. My question is: what is the proper wear of nylons for formal weddings/parties; semi-formal. What about cocktail dresses? Is it okay to wear nylons with dressy, strappy sandals as long as they are sheer with sheer toes?

Q. While watching the tube at night, I often take my change out of my pocket and place it on the kitchen table. In lining up the older coins, I noticed that the profiles of Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Kennedy and Eisenhower all face to my left as I am looking at them, but on the penny, Lincoln faces right. Is there any deep significance to this? If anyone can answer this, I'm sure the Answer Man can.
