I have scratches on the inside of my glasses. I'm not sure what happend. It looks like someone (probably my kids) tried to clean them with steel wool. The only other thing that they may have come in contact with was the chemicals from my hair relaxer kit.
Any suggestions?

Has anyone used a 30lb propane tank for an outdoor BBQ Grill? The book says to use only 20lb tanks, but the pressure appears to be same for a 30lb tank, so why not use a bigger tank for that outdoor grill, I would think the built in BBQ Grill regulator would keep the pressure safe, and that way you have more fuel for your grill (Less refills)? Thoughts/Ideas/Suggestions?

We have a mouse at our house and it won't go away!! We have tried the snap mouse trap but he keeps outsmarting it so is it really that important to let the trap face the wall?

is there an easier way than just hammering to break it up until we ache? By old school we mean the house was built in the 50's and there is some type of chicken wire material in it.

I was thinking of getting a few bags of cement, and sprinkling it over my river rocks, and spraying it with water. I have a hard time keeping up with the weeds!!!! I am slightly disabled and can't take care of it as I did. Need a solution. I seem to be spending a ton of money on weed killers that promise a year, but don't last 3 months.

Its a red colored one and I cannot remember the name. I watered it today. It is just a sprig of a plant sticking out of the ground at the corner of my garage. I imagine its about 8 or 10 inches long.
I wonder if it will tolerate the winter or if I should dig it up or something. I live in Illinois. Any suggestions?
