I burnt popcorn in the microwave beyond recognition. By the time I got to the microwave, the smoke was thick and brown and the popcorn was black and descinigrated. Now I have smoke stains in my microwave. Thanks.

I have a pond turtle and we have tons of crickets outside but I usualy buy live crickets. How can I trap them safely without sticky tapes that rips off their legs..the fun part for my turtle is to chase them around live. I want to create a cylinder trap or some sort that I can make several of for outside. Thanks

We bought a turn of the century three bedroom two bath dutch colonial in April. We are having a baby and plan to stay here at least through the next one or two, and hope to improve the value of our home by upgrading while keeping to the style of the original house. We have currently added new flooring, paint, and carpeting and are looking to eventually remodel both bathrooms, complete the unfinished basement, upgrade the electric (the bedrooms, living, and dining room have "knob and tube" wiring), and complete the stonework porch that was left unfinished in our backyard. What is the best way to finance these projects over time? Would it be better to save up gradually or get a home equite loan to finance the projects?

I am restoring an old hotel circa late 1800-early 1900 near the Oregon/Nevada border and would like as much information on building materials, interior floor and wall coverings and furnishings,or historical data that I can find to make my project successful. All help would be appreciated for online or direct resources for my research. Also information about superior businesses in the time period or specific to my hotel. It was named the Whitehorse Inn and next door is the Orevada Hotel. The whitehorse was a saloon and brothel in its day, so I have been told. The old town needs development and I would like to build some surrounding businesses there unique to the timeperiod as well. Thanks for all your help, whoever might answer my question. Happy New Year.

I have a demitese set of 6 little spoons and 6 little forks with a rose pattern on the handle. The name on the back is Marthon I think. Then it has what looks like a horse shoe on top of a star pattern. It was tarnished and I cleaned it with silver polish. Is this set silver or stainless steel?

my desk is just light wood and my comforter is navyblue, but i'm getting a gold comforter. I like deep rich colors, like dark red and dark purple, and I think purple and gold go really well together. I am sort of preppy, but I do not like pastel pinks, blues, greens, or yellows. I love neon colors but i don't want anything too wild.
