I'm trying to find an eco-friendly way of getting an old christening gown white again. Right now I'm using lemon but it may take a few applications. I was wondering if anyone else had some good old fashion "remedies" too.

Ok lets put it this way. I live in Southern Cali where its 103 on a 3rd floor apartment with a lil room AC. When I come home from work I can only bare to be in there a lil while till the sun goes down and then still its a freaking hot box.

So Im trying to find the best way to fix my issue. Some ideas I have had are get a box fax and put it in front of the AC to give it a extra oomph of blowing around the cool air. I can only sit in front of it for so long. Next was to open the windows and door and stick a box fan out the window so it sucks out all the hot air. Blow the air out not in. BUT I have to wait til 9pm or later to do that. Any other ideas that may help? Im up to anything.

I usually pay my rent on the first day of the month. I told the landlord house that I plan to move out in two weeks time. He said that I should give him 30 days notice otherwise I won't get my deposit back. It's fine by me for as long I can move out as soon as possible & won't have to pay for the next month rent. But he disagreed! You think this is fair?

I live in southern california. It has been about 110 over here with humidity. My average bill is usually 127.38. Last month it shot to 279.60. Ok I said to myself, it has been hot and I have used the a/c some. Then I get this month's bill...855.65!!!!! This looks like a definite error right? I called So Cal Edison. They had me read my meter to them and said that the bill was correct and I had to pay. That is almost as much as my house payment! They have payment plans but it is every two weeks instead of billing cycles so that was no help. BTW, she also advised me that was with the CARE credit and that there will be an increase next month here in Cali. Does anyone have any advice on how to negotiate the bill down. I just don't see how it went from 127.38 to 855.65!!!! Please Help!

We have lizards on the back wall of our house at night. We can't open the door after dark or near dark without several of the little buggers getting in. They don't look like your average "house" lizard, either. They are creepy and "boneless" looking. We haven't found a way to keep them out of the house or off the walls. And searching the internet hasn't helped either. We've had people tell us to get a cat, but we live in town and cats or dogs have to be leashed. Leashing a cat would not be acceptable to me or the cat. Any suggestions?

I live in New York, does anyone one know of a good way to come about foreclosed homes either here in NY or NJ? All these websites on the Internet want to charge a fee. Is there some public listing available to the public. Also, any help on this process would be appreciated, I don't understand much about it..

Thank You...

I know what a bear GS400 is especially returning home to Alpharetta. Since I work near 285 & 400 hi-ways, was wondering if anyone knew of side routes especially coming home in the afternoon to my home in Alpharetta. Any input would be appreciated.
