Hi guys,

I tried this product years ago when I saw them in my local store but now they dont sell them. They were the best thing I ever bought. You just slip them on the blade and when they get dirty you just throw them in the washing machine. I heard you can buy them online now but Im not sure where, does anyone know
thanks
Kara

My mother in law insists that I wash my laundry inside out to reduce the wear and tear on the item of clothing during the washing process. Is this true?

Our 2nd story guest bathroom toilet gets most of its usage from our 4yr old son...until recently. After a post-#1 flush, the toilet started to make these weird "jackhammer" sounds, freaking my kid out. They were loud and actually made the floor vibrate a little. I went in and flushed again, and nothing happened for a few seconds...then the sound started up again...and stopped. Stupidly(?) I flushed again, and this time nothing happened. DS was covering his ears at this point. This hasn't been a consistent event, so I'm wondering if the problem has just "gone down the pipes" or is there some bigger, more evil, lurking problem that's just going to bite someone in the behind later on (perhaps literally???). I don't think that DS flushed anything down the toilet, but if he did, I would just expect a clog. Any ideas and recommended actions? Anyone deal with this before?

My husband has always wanted to know how to build a windmill, yet has never found any plans (for free) of the precise type he wants. He wants it to aerate a small garden fish pond.

You should check out freecycle yahoo groups and find ways to get free stuff and give stuff of your own that you consider junk that might be another person's treasure!

Any other ideas on forums/sites/groups like this?

It's been my grandma's *dream* for YEARS to have a baby grand piano. She raised my brother and I and gave us the life we have. But she's almost 70 and still doesn't have one, and I can't afford to get her one. I am determined to find one. If YOU have one, and it doesn't have to be new or expensive, that is just collecting dust in your basement or garage, or was something you inherited but never use, she and I would BOTH LOVE YOU FOREVER if you were willing to donate it. I could arrange to somehow pick it up if you live within 300 miles of 55707.

I am renting a house and all of the flooring is parky wood. I do not want to spend the money to have someone else do the job, nor do I want to sand every tile in the house. What is the best product to use to bring the wood back to life? I have used Murphy's oil soap and it's not doing the trick? Any help will be appericated.

My family has a tree in their yard. My stepfather got the tree from his sister 10+ years ago. I was told then that it was a water something or something with "water" in the title. He has passed away so I cannot ask. I have asked a local (orlando) orange coneseur about this and he cannot determine it what it is. I was wondering if theres an online database that I can search with or without photos? I can email pictures to anyone that needs them. OH, let me add... They are normally bi-annual and rather large.

If you liked the design of a house on a television show or movie, and you fell in love with it, would there be any copyright laws preventing you from personally hiring an architect to design it from photos of how it appears in the show or film and eventually building it?

Also, If the designer of the house is unknown, would you have to contact the film makers or studio for approval?

I have read some e-mail where it is suggested that help is available at certain organizations. But when you call them they say it is to late to sign up. Where do you go then when you are refused help even when you really need the help.My e=mail address is thelmalemont@yahoo.com.
