Home & Garden - 28 September 2006

I hate cooking, and doing laundry (not so much the actual laundry but what I have to go through to find a washer at my apartments.)

does anyone know about wedgwood????
I have a box, with Unicorn insignia, it says wedgwood & co.ltd. England.....What I have researched is that normally the wording is arched underneath the unicorn.....on my box it is straight across.Which suggests to me it is dated from 1908+. I would think it is dated 1956+ but it says nothing of everware or wacol. there is also what looks like 350/B carved into the bottom ( obviously while it was still wet). and there is also a J in the paint used to paint the box randomly on the bottom as well..... The box itself is beautifully painted with flowers and is 8 1/2 by 10 1/2 cm. Any ideas on the date if nothing else!! I am extremely curious. I found a website that dates wedgwood it is

I'm removing some old wooden screens from my porch, and some of the screws don't want to turn. Would WD-40 on them help, like it does on screws in metal? Or would it make the wood swell and make the screws even tighter?

I want to get my father a drill bit sharpener for his birthday, as he said he wants one. I really want to get him the Drill Doctor 750 model, but it is quite expensive. I did find a Neiko sharpener and it is only $40. Can anyone out there tell me if the Neiko sharpener would be a nice substitute? I will get him the Drill Doctor if I can get a good deal, maybe on ebay. But if I can't, will the Neiko suffice? Or should I just consider another gift if I can't get the Drill Doctor? I would really appreciate your insight as I have no idea about these things. Thanks.

Everytime I get an African Violet, it only has the blooms that were on it when I bought it, and then the violet never blooms again. Once I had a Violet for 2 years & it never bloomed (so I threw it out). Now I have the special Violet pot (that comes in 2 parts were the outer one hold all of the water) and I have it placed in front of a window @ work that receives a lot of sunlight. Help! What am I doing wrong?!

The lease states the water isn't potable, so please do not suggest I sue my landlord. Besides, the property is worth the hassle.

Up until yesterday, our well was fine. Then the circuit breaker failed, and the well guy replaced it, but stated the well was almost dry. (there's plenty of pressure now, however...)

There is a new well at the back or the property. It has not had a pump put in it yet.
The well guy said he was scheduled to come back in a couple weeks to add a pump and replace our existing system with a new one, fed by the new well.
Unfortunately, the water from the new well smells like sulpher. (the water from the existing well doesn't, although all our neighbors water smells like sulpher too).
Is there something I can ask the well guy to do before he replaces, or seals everything up? I'm willing to spend a few bucks, but not hundreds.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
