I Have a bug problem that I learned is not uncommon. There are sometimes little tiny white "moths" that fly around, and some of my dry goods end up with "webby" stuff in them, or worse yet, Larva!! I keep everthing that is any kind of grain product in ziplock bags in metal cannisters with tight covers, but still I go to use something and after examining it, have to throw it out. This is really grossing me out and I have towaste food,which costs $$$. I found a web page that talked about vsrious types of pests that people are contending with in Fla. & Tx., but this is New England. This web sight was not very recently updated but said these bugs come from the warehouses and then get into everything in your pantry,(flour, herbs, cerials, rice, pasta,and so forth. Does anyone else have this problem, and what are you doing about it? I'm tired of going to use something and then finding these creatures, and also of wasting money. Pantry very clean, but KNOW I've inbibed some of these-YUCK

My air handling unit in the attic has a gas coil with a burning pilot light to activate the furnace. Once I let go of the switch the pilot light goes out. Is there some safety switch or a malfunctioning
pilot light unit that could be the problem?

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows what these old statues are called? I'm looking for statues that I've always seen in peoples kitchens, specifically my Grandmothers kitchen. The ones I have seen are always a off white color and are maybe 5 inches tall. They usually are shaped like people and at the bottom say some type of funny or clever sentence. Does anyone know what these are called?

Dusting with the special cloth was doing fine until my daughter put her greasy buttered toast fingers all over it. I tried to use the special cloth with a little plain water in it but it just smudged the whole thing up. Now I am in trouble not only because my daughter managed to get her fingers on it but when my hubby see's the mess I made with the water he is gonna think I'm a silly twit! Please Help me
