I don't want to spray them since they are edible but my herbs (basil especially) have a lot of tiny little yellowish bugs on them. Any suggestions?

I've been asked to help remove wallpaper for a home going up for sale. The owners said it may have not been sized properly when it was applied. Appreciate any tips on that and removing in general. Thanks.

if you are to automate something at home, like:
having the lights dim when you turn on the TV, having a door camera turn on when someone at the door, having your coffee maker turn on 10 minutes before you wake up.

What would you choose?

Anyone tried it? I can't spend the kind of money I spent on oil heat last year. I know they're supposed to be safe, but do they keep you warm?

I am thinking of investing in a memory foam/latex mattress but am reluctant as to if it will keep the 'like new' feel. I have gone through 2 memory foam pillows in 1.5 years because they loose support. now I have to turn the pillows on end to get any supprt. Do the matresses hold up????

The condo we live in is gated and our phone line has to be hooked up with the intercom so we'll be able to buzz people in. However, the phone we bought is "digital" (I dunno if that's the right word)[Uniden PowerMax], meaning we don't have to plug the phone to the phone jack in order for it to work. We just connected it to the modem/router that we have for the internet and to the power socket. The management told us that we HAVE to plug the phone in the phone jack to make the intercom work. Is that true? So now, we run down stairs to get people in the condo which is SOOOO incovenient. Is there any way we can have the intercom work without buying another phone unit?

Nothing was there when I moved in in May. However, around July or so I noticed the bricks were covered white? Is this toxic? What kind of mold is it? I live in Chicago...who do I call?

...probably some sort of mismatch w/transformer?? Seems to last for a while before the internal plastic 'clapper' ends up getting stuck and melting somewhat. What do I need to look for, either with replacement bell or on transformer, to select correct parts?
