Beginners Gardening

My class is taking trip to Williamsburg in June. We are going to Busch Gardens. Does the rollercoaster ‘Apollo’s Chariot’ there have loops. If so how many? I am kind of scared of loops (not the actual roaller coaster) and I want to ride it with everyone else but want to know what to expect. I was also wondering what rides there are worth waiting in line for? What rides would you recomend/not recomend? What attractions are the most fun?

We just installed a wooden garden fence and would like to stain it solid white. The wood is treated…any advice on the staining process? We have been told to wait 2-3 months to stain…..but, can I use sandpaper to open up the pores to get started sooner? Thanks for your help!

I live in CT, and I saw a Baltimore Oriole in my garden (on my deck to be precise) for the first time this morning. I haven’t put out anything special, just bread and a little all purpose bird seed. But we also have several types of flowering plants around the garden. How can I continue to attract Orioles to my garden? What kind of food and plants do they like in particular?
