My boyfriend and I have been feeding peanuts to a squirrel over the past couple weeksAny way...this baby squirrel has been hiding some of these peanuts around the yard...sometimes digging right in the middle of lawn. Will this cause permanant damage??
We haven't gotten to the point of feeding him by hand yet but the squirrrel keeps getting a bit closer each time can he make us sick??

My washer flooded the house. What happened?

Like any good environmentalist, I run my washer late at night. So I put on a hot wash and went to bed. In the morning the laundry and all surrounding areas were completely flooded. I live alone so I don't overuse my top loading machine and I'm very careful not to overload it.

It costs $115 just to have a repair person look at it and heaven knows how much to fix it. Anyone had a similar experience and what did you do?
