Need to know how to clean up vomit.?

OK, so I just blew chunks. Don't think I've actually thrown up since Jr High, so I have no idea what to do to clean it up. It's fairly liquidy/biley so I'm thinking that throwing cat litter on it will help soak it up. Any advice? I'm kind of on a deadline.

furnace won't turn off help!??

I remodled my kitchen and installed a new thermostat. After Installing the new thermostat the furnace will not turn off. If I set the Thermostat to 70, the temp will surpass that and almost hit 90 degrees. The only way to turn off the heat is to physically go to the furnace and push the button on the top from manual to automatic. That will turn it off and just leave the pilot light on. Some more information. The Gas furnace is 20+ yrs old, but heats great. I have hot water radiators. Even If I pull the face plate off the thermostat the heat stays on. It says millivolt on the furnace so is that 12v or 24v? Any help would be appreciated

Question about laundry?

I use Sun laundry detergent, a cheap brand, but it has a wonderful smell. I also use Downy Clean Breeze fabric softener. My clothes always smell really good when I take them from the washer and put them in the dryer, but by the time I take them from the dryer, they have no scent at all. I'd love for my clothes to smell really good, and I've tried using dryer sheets, but nothing works.
Granted, it's better that they smell like nothing than to have them smell bad, but I'd still like for them to smell good. :)
Any tips? I thought it might be that I had the heat up too high, so now I dry all my clothes on the low setting, but that hasn't changed anything.
Thanks! :)
