Home & Garden - 13 November 2006

I'd like to grow bulbs like crocus, hyacinths, daffodils, etc. (and perhaps saffron), but will they survive here? What if it's someplace that's 14-18 degrees Celsius on average during the day and receives a lot of rainfall (still in southeast Asia). I'm thinking Cameron Highlands/Janda Baik (Gombak) in Malaysia, since I live here. They did manage to grow tulips in Fraser's Hill (first time it's grown in Asia, they say).

Where do you put the oil? On the gears? Inside like in a paper shredder?

I had a roommate that left dishes in the sink and on the counter for several days or more at a time. She didn't think it was that bad. I told her it was disgusting and unsanitary, and she disagreed. Funny! So give me your personal views and knowledge on why this is actually dirty and gross!

Hi, I have purchased a new under-construction apartment from a reputed builder in Mumbai, India. We have moved in just about a month ago. We have observed that very fine, hair-line cracks have developed in all the walls. Reportedly, this is heppening in all apartments of the same complex. We asked the builder about it and they responded saying that this is normal for a new construction and happens due to climatic changes. They have asked us to wait for more such cracks to come in next 3-4 months and then they will repair/fill it and do the touch-up. My question is that whether this is normal and whether after the repair this will be alright? It will be great if anyone can throw light on this. Thanx.

Ok, a couple years ago I built a pingpong table made of 2x4's and compressed wood top, with basic paint. Now here's the dilemma. I need to damage the table severely, dues to abuse from roommates. Unfortunately I have to do it quietly, so no sawing, termintes etc. One thing its in a common living room, and I have to live here for the next 1.5 years. So I'm looking for people who how to do it, from either pranks as kids or mistakes as adults. Thanks

1. The stove has been known to have burnt food that really become carcinogens.
2. The barbecues due to burnt food and rust, or lack of cleaning need such spare parts.
3. Replacement knobs should be available, cases that persons cannot tell hi-low-med even time.

I had 5 seemingly healthy plants growing quite vigorously and producing flowers on almost a daily basis. A couple of notes, I never did see any bees in the flowers. Also, looking at the flowers they all seemed to look identical, like there were all male flowers. Any help would be really appreciated!
