Gift Ideas for a Boyfriend's 16th Birthday
My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 6 months and he is turning 16 the next month. He loves video games, eminem, and Marvel and DC movies a lot, especially Batman.

Pungent Smell Coming from Trim in Older Modular Home
We moved into a modular house that was built in 1986. We had to remove the trim in the kitchen and dining room for a re-model project, and the smell about knocks our socks off. It's not a moldy or mildewy smell, it reminds me faintly of sagebrush when you crush the leaves. I am just curious if anyone knows what this might be so we can make an educated decision on whether or not to replace it.
