Question:

Being sued for my last apartment catching fire!?

Help!!! In July of 2005, the duplex my boyfriend and I, along with our two small children, were renting caught fire. We were in the dwelling when it caught fire. I was cooking in the kitchen, my b/f in the living room watching T.V. (he was disabled at the time, if that matters), my youngest baby asleep, and my 2 year old son was playing. I started to smell something burning while I was cooking, and at first, assumed it was the food. Then, my 2 year old son runs into the kitchen, pointing franticaly at my bedroom. I looked in that direction, and the room was lit up. I ran in there and saw my closet going up in 8 ft. flames. There was a hot water heater in this closet, if that matters. I called my b/f, he came in, we tried to beat the flames out with pillows (we were panicked) for maybe a minute. We saw that wasn't working, So, I ran out of the room, grabbed my 2 babies, and ran out of the house and to a neighbor's. Told them to call 911 fast! My b/f ran out less than a minute later,

Answer:

gravity is based on mass mercury is smaller has less mass than the earth so the gravity on Mercury would be less also.
No. you should not block the fire hydrant with any landscaping, especially ones that my grow and hide the hydrant. If you are talking about small flowers then you should talk to your local departmentbut I would say no!
No. Waterlines and hydrants are within a waterline (utility) easement. These are owned and maintained by the City or a municipal water district. Typically, they do not allow anything, especially around a fire hydrant, to be planted within that easement. I suggest you call them and/or fire department to see if you can plant anything. I doubt it, but if so realize that any damage done to them during maintenance or emergency will be your problem. They will not pay or replace anything in thier easement.
I've always heard that sunglasses or glasses in a shape opposite to your face shape is most flattering. For a round face, that would be square-ish glasses. I have an oval/round face (a bit in between) and my favorite sunglasses are large with a squared frame. The ones in the link look like they'll work, but since they are also round, it might emphasize your round face.
You can usually plant low growing plants around a fire hydrant. The hydrant must remain highly visible and not become hidden by vegetation. Petunias make a nice flower bed around hydrants because they don't grow much more than 6-8 high. Do not grow any viney type of ground cover. Even if you keep it from crawling up and covering the hydrant, it will trip and entangle the feet of the firemen. Good luck with your landscaping.
