Can anyone tell me how to get the black stuff from candle smoke off glass candleholders? I've tried soaking them in hot soapy water and I've tried Windex, but nothing seems to be working.

I bought the cutest little green plant this weekend called a "Hindu Rope". I've been told it's a "Hoya" and the lady at the plant store said it's a succulent, but she didn't know much about it. They'd just gotten them in. I would welcome any information on care of this plant. Thanks!

We have removed some old bushes from the front of our house. We are looking to re-landscape with some new bushes or trees, but do not want anything that will grow real big. Mainly small stuff that is affordable. It is the North side of the house, so it does not get much sunlight. Also has to survive winters in Ohio.
Any suggestions appreciated!

I was interested in adding a central air condition system to my house. We have no existing ductwork because we have basboard heat. How would the system be added and is there a ballpark estimate for the work? I live in a split level built in 1960 with about 1560 square feet. Any help is appreciated.

You know, like the stuff you can buy from the betterware catalogue. I seen the funniest one the other day - it was like a paintbrush type thing that you slide a button on to close the bristles and trap spiders so you can dispose of them safely. Poor little buggers!

I'm a student on a tight budget and buying a Queen Sized Used Serta Mattress (the tag says that the designed is called 'Oaklyn'), a Box Spring, a Posturpedic cushion to go over the mattress (I saw online that these go for about $200 for a queen), and a Very nice coffee-colored Leather headboard/sleigh. Do you think this is a good deal and does anyone know the retail prices of these items (such as the Serta Oaklyn mattress, I couldn't find it online). I was at a mattress store yesterday and a mattress/boxspring combo runs anywhere from $600-1200. I just want to ensure I'm not getting ripped off here. Is there a way to verify the price on the mattress before I purchase in case they don't have a receipt? Also is there a way to verify date of purchase to see if it is as 'New' as he claims? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

I need to find a good air freshener that makes the room stay smelling good for longer than a few minutes. I've tried sprays, potpourri balls, even the plug in ones with the fan in it. I can't do candles because I have a 2 year old that will get into them. I've seen the scent stories and also a freshener that releases a puff every so often...are these any good? What do you recommend?

I was thinking the other day about how much easier it would be to build from smaller dimension roundwood instead of taking a big tree and cutting into dimensional lumber. In other words, if you had a forest and were going to build a structure yourself it seems like using younger trees would be easier. So why don't people do this? Are there advantages to using bigger trees that I don't know about?
