How do you fix a draw drapery rod so that the drapes meet in the middle? I moved rod from one double window to another which is just 5 inches wider. The rod and drapes are both plenty wide but I can't figure out how to get the left drape to meet the right in the center. The left one is taunt but there is plenty of drape there.

I have tried to pull just one up, but there are only roots, no radish. We thought we would dig up the whole area, but want to be sure they've had enough time to grow.

I was doing my laundry and I was using Clorox 2 for colors, but it wasn't foaming like other detergents (Tide, All). I followed the directions and put just as much as it said, but it just wasn't foaming. Is it supposed to foam, or not?

I believe our water is a bit rusty. Which in turns makes our whites a bit dingy, no matter how much bleach I use. Are there an tricks or solutions to use in the everyday wash to make and keep whites white? I have heard of using vinegar or Oxyclean. Have you tried it? Does either work?

I've always rented carpet cleaners and have never hired a professional to do it. What, if any, are the benefits of hiring the professionals, aside from saving time & sweat? Do they really do a better job?

I've found numerous plants that fit this description, but not the right one yet. This plant has spiney (sp) limbs that reminds me of something in the succulant family. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I wish there was a way to identify all of the houseplants I have. I just don't have any luck on the www. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

We left for a week to go on a trip and when we came back the fridge was broken (instead of cooling, it warmed up) so all the food was liquid and had gone bad. We paid a guy 100$ to repair it and now it works. We threw out everything and cleaned it but it still smells like a dead animal. Any ideeas what i can put inside, what products will make the smell go away?

My DD spilled some red soda on our tan carpet. So far I've used Spot Shot, Dual-Action Resolve, Oxy Clean, and Lifter1. It has faded, but is still there. Is there anything else that might work or is the stain set after trying so many products?
