I have tried using Pine-Sol, bleach, Krud Kutter, SOS pads . . . a lot of things, but my sinks still look terrible. I use these plastic mats to protect them from metal scrapes, but who cares when they look so dingy! Is there a solution?

My garbage disposal just reaks and fills my whole sink area with this rotten garbage smell. what is this and how do i get rid of it? i have tried running hot water and soap down it, it will go away for awhile but then come back. no one else seems to have problems with theirs. i am only putting normal stuff down it, like left over cereal or soup, etc.

I purchased three lacebark elms and was assured by the nursery they were all alike eventhough one has smaller darker leaves and the branches are shorter and trunk whiter with almost small lines in the bark. The leaf pattern is the same, but they said it looked different because the other two had been in the shade.It does look similar, but enough for me to tell the difference, it almost resembles a live oak leaf in the way it curls slightly at the edges and not flat like the other two. They assurred me it was just the shade, but I am beginning to wonder, I planted them yesterday in a small cluster to resemble a multiclump to save money. Did I get what I paid for?

My tomatoes are probably about 5'5" they are getting tomatoes on them but the plants are so tall that they have outgrown their cages in height and width. The branches are begining to bend and there are tomatoes past the bends and I am afraid that the tomatoes are going to die or not produce properly. what should I do? Can they be pruned this is my first garden with vegitables I mastered flowers first now I am attempting the veggies!

The dog is young but large. Probably shepherd / lab mix. The rooster is of course more fragile. I don't think he intends to do damage and so far the rooster has survived, minus a few feathers. If I can't solve the problem either the dog or the rooster must go.

but really all he is doing is starting the machine and adding soap? If mine DOES unload it, he puts EVERYTHING in the dryer (even sweaters) but NEVER folds anything!!! WHAT IS THAT???? Is that "doing" laundry to any of you guys? Help. I feel like I'm going to snap!

The vinyl siding on my house suffered damage from a wind and hail storm. My homeowners insurance company is not willing to replace the siding but have it "patched" by a company called Dr. Vinyl. Does anyone have any information on this or is anyone aware of any problems that have come up with this process? Have Dr. Vinyl's customers been satisfied with the repair?
