I bought a rugosa rose plant and it has been blooming all summer. I noticed a red fruity looking thing on it that resembles a tomato. What is it?

I stink at cutting in, and kept getting paint on the ceiling..
Is there a cleaner that will easily remove the paint w/out taking of the ceiling paint.

I have the cleaner "Advantage: but I thought I would try y'all first.

Notice, only a guy would put this under 'Maintenance & Repairs'...

When I was a kid, every pair of jeans I had featured zippers that would slide down on their own usually as soon as I got on the school bus. Now I have two pair that are doing the same thing every time I enter the supermarket. This is not an appropriate way to meet women these days, so I'm wondering if anyone has a simple fix for this short of sewing in a new zipper. I'm too cheap to buy new trousers until I've worn down the patches on the patches, and these are still nearly new.

I have withdrawn from a property purchase due to finding out detrimental info about the property /area which the sellers deliberately witheld from us. I purchased some items from them & left them in the property in good faith during the conveyacing process. I have a reciept from them for the private sale. I should have gone through my solicitor, but trusted the sellers - BIG MISTAKE! They have since emigrated. Family member has keys to the house, but wont give me access to remove the items i bought, and they wont give me the money back. I have tried phoning and writing to explain, and been very diplomatic, but they have cut off all communication and dont want to know. I do not know the address where they have emigrated or the family members address, although solicitors should know. I intend to take them to small claims court if this is possible, as i have lost @ £4000 in total. Has anyone been in this position? Would be grateful for any experience or advice shared. Thanks.

I have never bought bed sheets (my ex wife took care of that).

For a standard double (full size) bed, I want / need a top sheet, bottom sheet, and 2 pillow cases. I go to stores in Louisville Ky and find so many choices, I have no idea which to choose.
I want really high quality and high comfort level. Money is no object.
There are 250 count, 400 count, 600 count. There are egyptian cotton, and other materials. There are Bed-in-a-Bag sets.
What brands are best ????
I want whatever is very comfortable and will last at least 1 year or two.
Money is no object.

It is an old jacket, and has probably been in the closet for years.

I thought it could be a broken belt when the washing machine stop spinning, when I opened it up the belts were ok. Which is the best way to set a washing machine when you need to work on it from underneath?
