I have been working on cleaning a house where an old lady died. She was a pack rat and her house is full from floor to ceiling with crap. She no longer used any of the bedrooms because they were too full and instead only used the living room to sleep in.

She was incontinent and was too old to care about hygene.

The bathroom was full of urine soiled clothes and the sleeper sofa smelled unbelievably bad. All of this has been removed from the house, however the smells remain. STRONG!

Are there chemicals that will counteract the smell of human urine? I have previously treated cat urine with some success, but this is different - not an amonia smell.

I am concerned that the smell is in the subfloor and walls, not just the carpets and crap. This isn't a decomposing smell, just stale urine.

Any suggestions? A spray treatment would be ideal.

We noticed the service history book was not with the car, told by salesman they have it but would find it and send it to us, weeks passed nothing from the garage we contacted the manager he said he would look into it, more time passed so we contacted BMW uk and asked them about the cars history they sent us out a list of dates of when the car had work carried out, before coming to Scotland the car was looked after by a BMW garage in England, so we contacted them and they informed us they only carried out 3 servises on the car meaning the car has a missing oil service between 30000 & 60000 miles told our dealer about this they say they had spoken to the other garage and they told them they had done the missing service and would send a duplicate service book stating this but it arrived with the servise in question missing, they still tell us they have no record of this service but our garage is telling us they did do it and are now getting irritated by us wanting to get it sorted. HELP?

I have horrible credit from my bad choices when I got "grown" at 18 years of age. If it is a good idea to file, how would I go about filing?

Does anyone have any new info on whether this will happen or not? I really enjoyed the first two installments.

I'm not a real hard-core gamer so I don't know if the news is out there and I can't find it or whether there just isn't any.

Thanks in advance,
DT

I would like to pose a question about something that has bothered me for some time. There are a number of jobs--jobs typically held by women--that tend to be low on the pay scale. E.g. teaching, childcare, social work, MR services. When people remark that these jobs are underpaid, others often say "but you should do it because you love it, not for the money."

Why is it that jobs that are typically held by women pay so much less, and that passion, not money, is considered an adequate reward for some of the hardest jobs out there? Certainly, these jobs offer many rewards, but also many stresses, high case loads, large classrooms, burnout, etc. Of course, one can choose a different profession, but *someone* has to teach our children, offer daycare, etc. If someone is passionate about being a stockbroker or banker, does that mean that the job shouldn't pay well?

This isn't my first post about salary but I guess this is something that interests me. Just wondering people's thoughts.

I have a whole chicken that I need to cook while it's still good and I also have a lot of beer in the fridge. I know you can make beer can chicken, in both the oven & on the grill, but I don't have a grill cause I live in an apartment complex, so I have to go to the courtyard to grill, and it's just not worth hassle, and the beers in bottles.

So what can I do with chicken and beer in the oven? I also plan to cook baby carrots, potatoes, the usual chicken side dishes.

Hey, I've just wanted to know whether or not my cockatiel is doing it. I haven't caught him at it, so I'm not sure, but I've heard about it, and it makes me a little concerned.
I've had my cockatiel for about a year now, and he's tamed. We left this memorial weekend to the Poconos, and had to leave him at home. We have another, older cockatiel, around 4 years old, not tame, so I thought they'd be okay, with company and all.
When I got back, I noticed some feathers on the bottom of the cage. My cockatiel has new quills growing out around his neck, and possibly more around his wings, etc. I've heard about cockatiels pulling out their feathers when their owners go away; is this true? He seems a little more gaunt and his feathers more oily/raggedy than usual, although only a little.
Also, if this is true, what can I do to help? I'm busy and I still have to go to school today, so how should I deal with this? What if I have to go away on longer trips?
Experts only, please.

My friend is getting married and I don't know what to get. She's never been specific about what kinds of things she likes, so I think she's not picky. Also, I am kind of on a low budget. What's a good gift that will not cost too much?

I'm building a machine to be used in Mexico. In English the machine is called a resizer. It takes a part and stretches out one end of it to make it a bigger size. Would 'aprestador' be a good name for this machine, or do you have something better?

Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, the pretty girl said, "I would like to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard," replied the male clerk with a smirk. "That's fine," said the girl. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out.

The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old geezer standing beside her, and smiled, "Grandpa will pay the bill."
