I heard once that if a person pees/unrinates on a slug it will foam up and die. i was just curious if it was true or not. THANKS!

I live in an apartment building and am trying to put up a wall mounted pot rack in the drywall. I used a stud finder to locate the studs (16" apart). Then I drilled some pilot holes and used #12 2 1/2" wood screws to mount the pot rack. Two of the screws broke off when I was screwing them in - one using a power drill, one by hand. Am I overlooking something or doing it wrong? I've got very little experience with home improvement projects. Thanks!

The kids were fussing and fighting, and I had both caps off...oil and gas. I ended up putting some gas where the oil goes. Now, it won't start. I drained it and refilled it several times. What should I do? I didn't put a LOT of gas in, but it still won't work.

Here in Missouri, deciduous trees are beginning to turn their autumn colors. What happens to deciduous trees in warmer climates? Do they turn colors and lose their foliage?

I have looked at black granite but I understand this is very slippery (not to mention expensive).

My dog peed in the back of my SUV and I have tried everything to get the smell out... Fantastic, Febreeze, carpet cleaner (i.e. Resolve), but now it just smells like urine and cleaner. The smell just won't go away. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i have a question about harvesting wild mushrooms if anyone knows anything about this please give an honest/serious answer.

im not talking about ones to make you hallucinate or get a buzz whatever you want to call it, i mean edible mushrooms you can go out and pick in the wild.
ive looked online and they only show me dangerous/non-edible ones, and wont show me any in this area/state that are edible to be picked and eaten. ive thought about going to the store and looking at the ones they have there and see if i can pin-point them out around here.
thank you all for your time and answers!
