I collect my ear wax. I make my own candles from it and I also use it as furniture polish.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what else I could use my ear wax for?

Oh my goodness! I have only 2 days remaining until the U-Haul arrives and only HALF of my stuff seems like it is packed!! My kids are driving me insane and I have no place of dropping them off! Plus, as I'm packing, they are making a mess behind me! I feel like just trashing it all and starting new in my new home but I hesitate because I may not be able to afford all the new stuff right away...

Any moving tips or advice???? Please??

These little critters are shaped liked little frogs, except their skin has scales like a lizard. They move very slowly, i can easily pick one up with a shovel. Are they toads? Are they good or bad? I never saw them before, but this year there are quite a few. I live in zone 5, SE michigan, suburban detroit

There are cracks outside on the stucco wall, above the windows. The rain has been coming through for some time and the plaster inside has come down. Once the plaster was scraped down, you could see inside to the drywall, about a 6 inch square. Do you just plaster over this or is it advisable to change the drywall?

Also, what kind of caulking do you recommend to seal the cracks outside on the stucco?

i do not have an infestation but ive found one while diging to plant a shrub in a flower bed, and then a skin while weeding in another bed. I DO NOT like snakes! these were both under 12 inches (DON'T LAUGH!!) long, but never the less still a snake! and besides i know something bigger made them, and they were on opposite sides of the property so im thinking not siblings, which means more of the bigger ones...and so on....and so on.... now im seeing an infestation!!!

i've heard they wont go around moth balls...?

Hi,
My dryer manufactured by GE stopped heating, but it is still
running (the inside cylinder still cycling). I guess my dryer is old
because it is from my house's previous owner and I don't know how long
it stayed in the house. The model is : DDE8200BACWH
I have searched on Internet but I couldn't any information about
this model. Some sources said that I need to open the metal plate that
covers its terminal block, and check the circuit breaker/fuses etc,
but I don't know how to open it and get to inside. If anybody know how
to work on this, please give me some instructions.
I called a GE service, they said they can come to my house to
check without paying the $79 service fee, if it needs- to be repaired, I
need to pay the cost of replacement part and also the labor fee.
I don't know how much it will be and if it is worth to repair it in
this situation. Any advises will be really appreciated. Thanks!

I live in a great neighborhood, nice new house, and every time I open my door a gust of flies come in, they sit on the plants outside and just swoop in when the door opens. I have so many in the house I don't know what to do, I swat and swat and there are still sooooo many! Any suggestions??
