I bought a house in the same power district. It is 50% large than my old house. It has an older, less efficient AC unit. Yet in the 1st year I'm using 40% LESS power than in my old house. I'm I getting some kind of advantage here, or was sombody stealing from me there?

Seriously, the dorm laudry room is a great resource. I did learn when younger that if you put the lint in paper egg cartons and then pour wax over the top of each cup of lint, then breaking it apart, it made a great fire starter. What else is something useful that lint could be used for?

If you tip a recliner to its side and look underneath, you can
see some of the frame. I've seen both hard wood and fiber-
board frames (I prefer wood over metal). Are there any
differences in quality, durability, etc., between recliner frames
that use these materials?

Things like sewer rodding, electrician's service call, relighting gas pilot on a furnace, etc. Maybe there is a website that lists average costs by region (midwest, east coast, etc.)

I have a couple of shirts that appear to have gotten spattered while cooking. It's not coming out, even after spot treating. HELP PLEASE! The one shirt is my only option to wear for Thanksgiving, and it's too late to get something else at the store.

any dos and donts? any well-known tips? is it a myth that you should have the water running when you have the garbage disposal on? sometimes i dont do the dishes every single day, and there are times the dishes sit in the sink for even 2 to 3 days at a time, is it bad for food to sit inside the disposal, even for a couple hours?

i know silverware and any other objects that are particularly hard, and not edible such as wood chips, silverware, sharp knives, and other metal or foreign objects are not recomended to be put in the disposal, but what about things that are somewhat hard, such as pasta that has been exposed to the open air for several hours, and has hardened, is it suitable for the disposal, or do i risk damaging it, when i dont just want to throw it away?

any and all information would be helpfull, i thought i knew the basics, but my 2nd disposal is on the fritz, and i havent even had my own place but for less than 3 years, is this normal life for a disposal?

Hi

My 7 year old daughter has been chosen to wear a Playing Card custome for their December Christmas Play.
I have researched many Internet Engines and they all only sell them Adult size.
Can any of you give me suggestions on where could I find these customes for kids, or any Handmade suggestions to prepare them myself.
Three kids will be playing this same character and I have to find (or make) all three of them.
Thank you in advance for your genuine comments!!!!
