Looking for creative ways to manage my family's laundry. Seven children, plus mom and dad. Currently, there is not "wash day" as every day is "wash day" and there is a never ending pile of laundry to deal with. Hampers are a joke. They are too tiny, even with one in each bedroom. Any creative idea's besides dressing my children in paper clothes?

I know this is a weird question. When I flew home last, my curling iron was in one of my check-on bags and it broke in half. The wires are still good, not damaged and it still works. The only thing that is broken is the plastic casing between the metal part that heats up and the handle.

It was rather expensive and it is rather new. I'd like to get some more use out of it . Any ideas on a kind of glue that will work?

I already tried superglue, but it didn't work at all. In fact, it looked as if it melted the plastic.

I accidentally flushed the wooden peg that goes through the toilet paper roll to attach it to the holder. It is a wooden peg about 5 inches long with a spring in the middle to allow the peg to compress to 3-4 inches. Now the toilet is draining slowly, and then the bowl re-fills only a very small amount. I have tried plunging and snaking the toilet but it has no effect. I'd like to avoid calling a plumber if at all possible. Any advice that you could offer as to how to fix the problem would be much appreciated. Step-by-step instructions, would be the most helpful. Thanks!

We were given a plant a year or two ago. Here's its picture.

It has a scent when you tear a leaf or cut off a branch that's fairly pleasant. If anyone can tell me what it is, I'll be grateful!

I have a heavy duty extension cord for power equipment. The ground (third prong) broke off of it (I don't know how or when).

If I plug this cord that doesn't have a grounding prong into, say, a surge protector that does have a grounding prong and I plug that into the wall, will the extension cord be grounded?

I have cookie cutters that are shaped like snowflakes and star shaped cookie cutters. I usually soak them in very hot water and soap then scrub with a paper towel to get the dough out. Any hints?

We are living in a basement suite and are being run out by tones of ants. There has been about six large heavy rainfalls in the area in the past month and high heat periods between them and with each the ants seam to get worse. Everything I have done seams to increase rather then decrease the number of ants. We have a newborn daughter and therefore would like a chemical free solution if possible. So far i have made my SO become much cleaner and no food (not a single scrap) is being left left any where for them to get at. We have also layed the little tin style ant traps outside but this only seamed to make the number of ants inside grow. PLEASE help I am at my wits end and well it is funny watching DSO chase ants with a spray bottle of vinegar and water it really isnt doing any good.

I live in the S.E. USA and am having a problem with snakes. I would prefer a natural solution, say a plant that might serve as a natural repellant. Any suggestions?

I recently planted grass after sowing our lawn. Now there are weeds popping up all around. I cannot pull them because then i would have to walk into the new grassy areas. I do not want to hurt the new grass coming up. My neighbor says it is stupid to pull the weeds, because he says the grass will eventually kill the weeds by growing up around them. What do you say?
