Our son is a recent graduate and as a young professional he wants his apartment to look nice. The kitchen wall is good sized and empty. How do you decorate without it looking like a girls touch.

I'm wondering about the look from the street. I know that white or beige window treatments look nice but I would really like to use bamboo type shades. But if they look bad from the front of my house I don't think I want to have them. Anyone have them?

I have a running toilet. First possible solution, I replaced the flapper. This stopped the running, but the toilet is still making a noise that sounds like someone is rapidly banging on it. It's not a loud noise but it makes my mirror (across the room) rattle. At first I thought my next door neighbor may have left on their bathroom fan. However, after some detective work, I realized it was my toilet because the noise stops when I shut off the water. Any solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Liverpool. I have a touch lamp that the light (used to) comes on in 3 levels of brightness from touching the metal part of the lamp. The light has burnt out. I've tried regular light bulbs and they just stay on, they won't brighten or darken and the light won't go off. So I'm thinking I need a special light bulb for it, but none of the lighting shops know anything about bulbs for touch lamps. The bulb doesn't say anything on the top like regular light bulbs but it says 240/60 N805019B on the metal part of the bayonet. Any body know where I might look for a light bulb. I hate to throw away the light, it's gorgeous. Thanks for helping.

They are everywhere in the livingroom and tv room. No one eats in those rooms and no food is left lying around. Why are they there and how do I get rid of them?

My husband and I have just moved into a basement flat. It is rather lovely except that we are overrun by cats. It seems that everyone in the neighbourhood has one. They constantly enter the flat throught the windors or any open doors (now the foxes have started walking into the flat as well). We are constantly having to clean cat poo from all the entrances to the flat. It is now getting worse as we can hardly open the windows at all as it smells really badly of cat pee and poo. The garden is overrun by them.

Neither of us are very fond of cats (and do not have any pets). We are rather fed up now and want to keep all the cats away. I remember hearing of a cat scarer a long time ago. doess such a thing exist and is it humane to use? Can anyone out there please suggest any possible methods of keeping the cats awaya We would like to reclaim out garden but particulalry our flat back.
Thanks in advance.

It's supposed to resist mildew, but since I have only used plastic shower liners in the past, I don't know what special treatment this fabric one needs. I know i can't spray Lysol on it.

We have a brand new fridge, and stuff came up and we ended up having to move alot sooner then expected. I don't want to sell our fridge, I'd rather ship it if possible. I'm wondering how I would go about shipping it. Where would I go to ship and how would I pack it for freight? It weighs about 400 lbs. so I wonder if shipping is practical or if we should just get another. We paid almost $700 for it.

The drain in the kitchen sink at my office smells really bad sometimes when water is poured down it. We don't have a disposal. I've tried pouring anmonia down the drain and then running hot water for several minutes but it hasn't helped at all. Any suggestions? Thanks!
