Home & Garden - 18 October 2006

I woke up this morning and there are literally thousands of ladybugs in my home. And I opened the door and they are all over the place outside. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

Has anyone ever heard of this tree?? The pronunciation is actually "Goomy" It produces very tart small berry, cranberry size, very good for making jelly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yesterday I started painting the adjecent rooms a rich taoupe(ie) rose. I dont know how to describe it but its a deep rich earthy color boardering on purple or rose-ish. Given this description can you picture it? In your imagination do those colors go together? The swatches looked good together...I love both of the colors but I am not sure how well they actullly blend.
Any suggestions? Does it sound like a brothel?
I have a lot of art, and plants that can bring it together but Ive never done anything quite this....colorful.....

HELP

We have a flea infestation that won't quit. We've tried vacuuming constantly, flea traps (a shallow dish of water with a few drops of dishsoap and shine a light on it to attract fleas at night), and basically everything short of hiring an exterminator. We're going to try fogging ourselves to see if it helps. Has anyone had any experience with this? Does it work? If so, how long does it last? And do you have any helpful hints to make the process go more smoothly? Thanks!

We have nasty water and would like to invest in a water softener. We are a small family (just mom, dad, and baby boy). Any recommendations on a water softener? I was thinking about buying it at Lowe's and having them install it... I wonder how much installation would be? Thanks for the advice!

We have a ceiling fan with three light sockets attached. ONE of those sockets seems to burn out bulbs early. Filament bulbs last a few weeks, CFL bulbs have even shorted out! What is going on???
The other two sockets are fine. Those bulbs never burn out.
