I was going to paint my room pink so i have a pink sheet and a few pink pillows. Things in my room such as my futon bed and my vanity are black so i was wondering what color to paint my walls. I was thinking pink at first but now my parents are trying to tell me to go with an "accent" color that i can just put the pink with but im not sure. Any ideas?

What does it mean when a dress is "cut on the bias"? I've heard that term all my life and never knew what it meant.

I moved into an apartment 2 months ago and the carpet is terrible. It's brand new and sheds so bad. It clogs my vacuum, gets in my hair, flies all over the place. Is it cheap or does it just have to be vacuumed 5 times a day?!

I live in a modern duplex that I rent for $665 per month. Each month I pay approximately 200 for gas, elec, and water combined. I am thinking of renting a house in the country for $495 per month. BUT the water is trucked in and pumped from a cistern at $40 per load. And the main energy source is propane. I'm trying to figure out if I will actually be worse off if I move.

I am considering getting a heat pump with several indoor units. The indoor units note their Kw capacity as well as BTU capacity and the outdoor unit notes its total capacity in kW and BTUs. I don't know how the kW capacity is related to BTUs nor how to figure how many BTUs I need for each room/ indoor unit. Knowing how many BTUs I need for each room would be a start (I think!)

Thanks for your help.

I own a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wrist watch. It is the automatic winding type so I have to wear it always to keep it ticking and in time. This by the way is cool, but my problem is that it loses time. In 24 hours, it loses around 15 mins. Is this normal and to be expected, or am i not mobile enough for it to wind itself, or is this a defect that needs rectification.
By the way, I am very busy most of the time (unless when sleeping). So I doubt that the problem is mobility.

I live in a brick bungalo in Chicago and all bungalows have 2-3 openings on the basement floor that lead to the sewer. They are covered by a slotted grate, usually cast iron. I'm trying to find out what that grate is called and where I can buy replacement.

My daughter has had a 1200 sq ft pad poured. She was told to "keep it wet". Due to her needing to leave town for two days, she has asked me to go to her house and use a sprinkler and water it 3 times per day setting the timer for 120 min each time. Is this correct for curing and how many days should this be done? Today is the 2nd day.

I already asked a question about my refrigerator leaking ON THE INSIDE so I'm going to go in search of a hose that may be blocked. During this process I discovered there is no drip pan UNDER the fridge. I thought they all had them? My fridge is at least 5 years old (it came with the house).

I have a mobile home and have found a leak right under the sink in the bathroom. I can access the leak by going under the house.

Last time I moved I found a website where i can put in my new address and click on a bunch of catalogs that i normally received and have them automatically notified of my new address. I know that I also clicked on boxes for certain credit cards of retailers. I am hoping someone knows where i might be able to find a link like this so i can bookmark it and save it for next time i move! THANKS!
