I didn't want to do anything but soak up the excess with an old towel cause I didn't want to smudge it. But now I have this big spot about the size of a dinner plate in my living room carpet.... What if anything can get it out? Please.. :-(

in an hour?

Or are you one of those freaks who keeps a clean house? (And how the HELL do you do it?)

I live with a packrat (whom I love dearly!), so that doesn't help matters any....I find I am always picking up after him, so much so that i don't get a chance to do any "deep cleaning".

And what about Flylady's system? Anyone familiar with it? Does it work?

How do I train a packrat NOT to be a packrat?

I just planted 8 dwarf crapemyrtles (Raspberry Dazzle) around my house. Seven of them are doing well, but one has several leaves turning yellow. They all get (more or less) the same amounts of water and sun, and they are planted in the same type of soil. Any thoughts on why that one isn't doing well. And, how do I save it?

One piece of extra information, the leaves on that one were smaller and more bunched up when I bought it. I was nice and green though, so I didn't think anything about it. It has been in the ground about 2 weeks.

I live in UAE where the climate is really hot. I live in a big villa(house). There are 2 bedrooms, a tv lounge, drawing room and a separate maids room w/bathroom. Total, there are 4 bathrooms to clean (incld maids room). I have tiles all over my house and I was wondering if instead of using a broom or brush I can use a vaccum? becus I am extremely irritated that within a few hours of cleaning my house looks dirty again (with dust, hairs etc). I am already exhausted... picking up hairs from the tiles and then cleaning. Is there any vaccum that can be used on tiles... is hoover a good product? Is there any product otherwise, which would help me clean the entire house in good time like a vaccum? Would really appreciate if you can help me. Response from people of UAE or Dubai would be great, because they might share my pain and be able to give an effective solution.

Planning to put hardwood floor in house but need to know if you can finance it. If you can, what are some of the places that do that? HomeDepot? Lowes? Lumberliquidators?

It looks a little forbidding and I heard they are dangerous to change because they can burn you.

We recently replaced all the old paned windows (around 80 years old) in our home and I want to turn some of them into mirrors. What would be my first step in doing this? Who do I take them to? Do I special order the mirror and do it myself? What is a round about cost in doing it? As you can see, I want something done that I have no clue about and any lead in any direction would help. :o)

I've just had two blissful weeks of my neighbours being on holiday. However, they have unfortunatly came back. They have always been a problem, being really nosey. We couldnt afford a lawn mower, we would hire a company to cut every other month. the grass grew to a certain height during the month and the lady complained to us. She kicked up a fuss and gossiped to her other neighbours about it, we heard offmy nephew who lives down the road tell us she had been stirring. Thsi isnt it, she also complained for my other half fixing his car in the front, it was a regular daily thing, it was a one-off fixing, we had a letter from the council for repeative noise and disturbance with car engines She shouted out other to me that shes reported me for other things like me walking around with revelaing clothing, like my nightie and even my miniskirt. I caught her once throwing a stone at our new patio table, i told her off, she hasnt done it again. but she complains and does other things.

We had a garage sale 3 days ago. My husband sold a pair of car speakers used for $40. He had just removed them from his truck not long before in perfect working condition. Today, the man who bought them showed up at our door claiming the speakers are broken. Not that they dont work, but that they are actually broken on the inside. That was not the case when we sold them. Now this man wants a refund. How should I handle this situation?

liquid plummer, all kinds of heavy duty pipe chemicals, and we've even replaced the entire pipe under the sink. The smell is still there. What could it be and how do I get rid of it?
