Home & Garden - 26 November 2006

I love to walk into the Yankee Candle store. It smells wonderful.

I love Midsummer's night dream (?) for it reminds me of an old boyfriend from high school.

I also love their Christmas Cookie, clean cotton and blackberry

Heck, I love them all!

I have vinyl shutters that have faded. I was going to replace them, but was told there is a paint that can be used and to just do that. They do not appear to be cracked or anything - just a lot of sun exposure. House is almost 5yrs old.

My husband left a ball point pen in his clothes pocket, and after removing the clothes from the dryer, I discovered all the clothes have blue ink splattered on them and the dryer drum is a mess!

I'm concerned about how the laundry detergent I use effects the environment. How can I tell if a laundry detergent is harmful? Is it whether or not it is biodegradable? Which ones are the best?

It was bought new almost 3 years ago. One of the things I liked about it was the on/off switch was on the handle of the hose so I didn't have to walk back to the cannister to turn it off. Now it is always on when I plug it in and can only turn it off by unplugging it. The switch part to turn on the beater bar still works though. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I accidentally drilled into the control-unit wires of my old Sears garage-door opener. There was a tiny electric spark and a slight smell of ozone. I repaired the wires, but the unit does not work (no light, doesn't open or make any noise). I THINK it did work prior to my mistake although I am not 100% positive as it hasn't been opened in years. The electric-outlet it is plugged into works fine, so it is getting power. I did not see a fuse inside the unit, nor any obviously-burned parts. It is c.1974, though it has been used VERY little. I have no specs for it. It is a "Sears Best", 1/2 horsepower, chain-drive. I have little experience with electric motors, so am not sure what to test for or where (e.g. with a volt-meter). Suggestions welcomed! Thanks.

Did you use? And which ones do you buy most often?

I personally find that clorox, comet, 409, and windex, once a week, do ALL that I need, to clean and disinfect - with drano and lime-away tackling the serious problems, (about once a year). . .

We just moved to a historic farm. There are two large lilac bushes which have been neglectied for years. They are nothing but suckers standing straight up.

What can we do to bring it back? Prune it? What time of year do we do this? Any other hints? Thanks.
