Finding the perfect gift for teenagers can be a notoriously difficult task. Their likes and dislikes can often change within seconds based on the latest trends and fads. So how can you please even the most challenging-to-shop-for teen? Gift cards and cash work, but are also very impersonal. Here are a few gift ideas to satisfy even the pickiest teen.
Last week, I shared feedback from readers who had strong opinions on shoppers who buy in bulk. “Shelf-sweepers” came in for a lot of criticism from fellow shoppers who feel that it’s only fair to leave product on the shelf so other bargain hunters have a chance to save. But what do stores think of these high-volume customers? Here’s an email from a retailer who offers some great insights:
The fifth season of Bravo’s docu-series Flipping Out just ended and, interestingly, this season focused on frenetic house flipper Jeff Lewis converting his floundering flipping business into a successful interior design company. But why change what has made him a successful reality star? After all, he was discovered when Bravo was reviewing his assistant’s audition tape, and within 48 hours Lewis had a show of his own.
I have an 80/20 mortgage. The 80 first loan is being foreclosed, but the 20-percent second loan still is outstanding, and payment is being demanded. This is different than the situation you recently described where the second lender foreclosed but the first did not. What happens now?

I have a great marriage. But with one problem. My husband gets all … hurt when I don’t respond to his sexual flirtation. If he texts me something during the day, and I don’t respond, he’s hurt and pouts. If he leaves me a sexy voice mail and I don’t join in, same thing. I tell him that sometimes I’m just not in the mood and my head’s not there. I point out to him the other times I do respond is when I’m feeling sexy, too. I don’t know why he takes this so personally. Is there anything I can do to make him not get hurt just because I’m not in the mood? — D.L., Seattle

Question: I was wondering when is the best time to transplant the Amaryllis plants — now or in the spring? They bloomed beautifully this past summer but seem to be getting a bit pot-bound. I also wonder if regular potting soil is best, and when and how often they need to be fertilized?
