Q:This sounds kind of strange though.They said I should receive the certificate in about 4 or 5 days.Has anyone had this happen to them also?and is it for real?I know I shouldnt fall for anything like this.But one thing I did tell them was that Im not giving my information or credit card info.out.She said no credit card is needed.Sounds eerie huh?

First off did they call you by your first name? Did they already know your address and other personal info? If so maybe it is real. Did you just finish filling out some online forms when you go the call? Did they ask for money upfront to get the card to you?? I agree I would feel weird about this. I hate getting calls like that. I'd just wait and see if you get it. It was smart not to give our any info over the phone. When I get a call like or even just asked to do a survey on the phone I tell them, I do not do anything over the phone. Sorry. Sounds like you handled it well though.

Q:I'm looking to buy Landscape Design software for DIY projects. I'm reading good things about Better Homes and Garden Home Design Suite and Punch! softwares. Anyone used them or have any recommendations for either, both, or something else?

Most of the software available, including Better Homes and Garden Suite, is tricky to use and really leaves you without any real plan. Honestly, I would recommend using good old fashioned pencil and paper to come up with your initial design. Or perhaps try the free Sketch-up software from Google. Just search for Google Sketch Up. Another idea might be to call your local community college and see if one of their design students might put something together for free as a resume' builder or perhaps a class project. Also, many nurseries will put together a professional design for free if you buy the plants from them. Hope that helps!
