I followed an advice i saw on yahoo answers that you must put an absorbent paper and iron on that for the wax to melt and be absorbed. While much of the wax has been absorbed, there is still an oily/greasy stain.Can it not be removed completely?

I was told that if I placed the rocks on the ground where I wanted them, then take some dry cement and pour BETWEEN the cracks and sweeping access between the rocks as well. Then water it! will that REALLY work???

I need patterns for cutting and sewing simple household cushion covers and pillow case. Paper patterns or even simple directions will do.

As a fellow arachnaphobe (I refused to walk, feed or clean up after the dog for a week because of finding a huntsman outside in the bin we use to dispose of his poo and empty dog cans etc), I dream of someday living in a place where there aren't spiders hiding in the walls. And my husband took care of the dog for me but he left the spider and called me a big hairy girl of a wife (which I freely admit I am).

Well our dishwasher first broke we took it to a repairer and they fixed it saying it was the thermostat. But when we hooked it back up it still flooded. That was ages ago and I have been thinking about it and was wondering if it had anything to do with the drainage pipe, because I looked under the sink and the pipe coming from the dishwasher goes in the sinks pipes just before it gets to the S bend, any suggestions or answers will be greatly appreciated.

Could this be a simple matter of clogged pipe?

My family has lived in a rental for a year now and we've never needed to use the breaker box. But this morning the light bulb over the kitchen sink blew and caused all the power in the kitchen to go out. We've looked everywhere for the breaker box including the garage with no luck. I can't imagine a newer home being built without one but I'm totally out of ideas on places it might be.

I washed a load of clothes this summer and forgot them in the machine. when I remembered them, they were soured. I have tried all of the spray on remidies, and can not bleach them as they are colored.
