They smell fine until they get damp again. I have used vinegar, oxyclean, lemon extract, dishsoap, and soda in the washer and they smell fresh at first and then after the first use they smell "sour".

I tried washing them several times without using softner in the wash or dryer sheets, but they still are so linty and acutally repel water.

Do I buy a drum sander bit and do it with my hand drill? Or should I use a spade drill bit? (but I'll have to hold the piece in my hand and if I slip, ouch!) I don't own a drill press or a vise and can't afford one.

I own: dremel (and some small bits that go with it), power drill (drill bits), and hand tools.
I have a male adapter (slip on one end, male threads on the other end) PVC coupler for 1" sched 40 PVC pipe. The inside diameter of the slip end is about 1-7/16 ", and I need it to be 1-1/2". (BTW: This is for a toy I'm making for my daughter, so it doesn't matter that it will lose its original strength). The wall thickness is thick enough to accomodate the larger hole.

About a month ago I pulled a glob of hair and mush from deep inside my bathtub drain. Every since then there has been a rotten egg smell coming from the drain? What is this and how do I get rid of it?

The duplex that I live in only has 2 prongs in the outlets and not 3. How long can I work with the adapters? The packages say that they are grounded.

I'm wondering if it's allowed - to used old (discontinued, maybe?) but uncancelled stamps as postage on current letters. Obviously they'd have to add up to the proper mailing amount for the item - but does it matter if they aren't "current, modern-day" stamps? I'm wanting to do this for some mail-art projects is all, thought it would be fun :) Any answers / help finding the answers appreciated!*Yeah I know - ask my local PO - I just wasn't planning to go there anytime soon and real hard to get anyone on the phone at USPS ;)

Thanks!
