Home & Garden - 4 October 2006

I have tons of t-shirts that my 8 yearold son grew out of and some baby clothes that my baby grew out of. a take along swing, lots of shot glasses I used to collect and some household items like fake plants. I am trying to raise as much money as possible. a list of prices would be great.

I can buy so I won't have such terrible ring around collar stains no matter what I do? I used to buy white 100% cotton pinpoint shirts (Lands End) and oxford cloth shirts (JCpenney), and several shirts totally ruined after a few wearings. Now I have been buying Arrow brand Ultra Silk 55% rayon/45% polyester and these don't stain and turn severe yellow as quickly. I scrub neck and shoulders thoroughly to make sure I am clean before putting a shirt on. Laundering: I prespot with Wisk Stain Dissolving Power Liquid, then put in clothes washer of HOT water with Clorox Liquid Bleach...wash in washer then put in dryer for 2 minutes, then hang on hanger while damp. These white shirts are never ironed because they are always worn under a suit coat and don't wrinkle much. I have several shirts that are yellow and ruined around the collars. I have tried Shout also, doesn't help much.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TEXTURED, PAINTED WALLS. IM NOT SURE WHAT THE BEST WAY TO GO IS. SOME HAVE SUGGESTED A "PUTTY" TO FILL IN THE CRACKS IN THE WOOD. SOME HAVE SAID TO JUST TEAR IT DOWN AND START FROM SCRATCH.

I have a gorgeous white dress with navy blue trim for my 5 year old daughter. I didn't even get a chance to let her wear it, when I accidently spilled some juice on it. I washed it and now there are blue stains on it. I don't know if the stains are from the juice or if the navy blue bled on the white. It actually looks more like the navy blue color bled on the white more than juice stains. I don't know what to do to get it out. I don't want to throw it away, because it was kind of expensive and it is beautiful and worst of all, she hasn't even worn it out yet. If anyone knows anything I could do, please let me know. I tried washing it, but it didn't work.
Thanks

I'm in Louisiana and need someone to re-shingle my roof "take old ones off and put new ones on", I have 30 squares and have about a 6/12 pitch. I will buy the materials myself and I have a group of people that will do it for probably almost anything I give them,I want a real good deal but I want to be fair. Can someone give me a good estimate on what I should pay them?

We used to have to get up 1 hour before we went to bed to get the wood in for the fire in the house so we could melt the water from the ice on the inside of our window to make our tea. How did people cope seeings we now have a breeding ground for germs who love central heating?

It seems too stiff, do you need to soften it like clay and apply it by hand? Also, do you need to apply it to every fitting when replacing a sink and faucet?
