It is from a great great aunt that left it to me. Long oval serving dish with the number 742 actually in the dish on the bottom and the name Bavaria stamped on it.
Is there any web site I can visit?

My family currently uses Purex however, I would like a detergent with a stronger scent. There are not many choices for high efficiency washers. I heard Tide is good, but are there any more brands that I can purchase from grocery stores?

I am refinishing a dresser and the drawers alone have cost me several sheets of sandpaper (I'm using a DeWalt power sander). The paper doesn't get used up... it gets gummed up by the paint that is coming off... is there some way to get the paint off a bit before sanding? Is there some product that would prepare the paint for sanding better?
Thanks!

The sun shines bright into his room and I would like something to put on the window to make it darker. Is there something that is like a window cling that will block the sun out of his room? I've tried hanging a black blanket up but now that he's walking, he could pull the whole thing down along with the nails that is holding the blanket up and it's not safe. Is there something that will block the sun out without being hazardous to my walking baby?

My Mom is a Smoker. She smokes in her bedroom. I tell her to close the door and put a rug or sheet up against the door but she refuses. So everytime she smokes, the smoke gets in the living room and some parts of the dining room. Well really everywhere in the house. And it's driving me crazy. I'm 16 andd I hvae asthma and she doesn't respect that. She normally goes outside and smoke but since it's cold outside, she's smoking indoors. So it's drving everyone in the house crazy.

What kind of Spray or Powder something to get the smell out of the other rooms and the house and carpet.

OMG I cannot take this anymore. Ever since she started back smoking in the house, my asthma has gotten worse. I feel like that icky green stuff in my throat. My eyes are burning. My Purse, Clothes Backpack smell like smoke. All because of HER!!!.

I'm a Fashion Designer and I had to take all my drawing equipment, manequins, fabric. Everything out the house and take it over to my Dads. Please Help!

I love to scrapbook and recently got engaged. I wanted to dry one of the roses from my bouquet so that I can put the dried rose petal in my scrapbook. Any thoughts on the best way to dry the rose? Hang it upside down?

My house and property sits next to a pretty busy road. I want to plant something that will look nice, but also be thick enough to shield the house and yard from noise. I live in the Washington DC area. Does anyone have any recommendations on the type of evergreen that will grow fast at first, but then can be trimmed or maintained to protect from unwanted noises and sights?

I know now to mix the detergent with water first...

At any rate, I've tried rinsing, rinsing with oxy-clean, and pretreating with some german laundry soap + rinsing.

Any other ideas?

It appears that there are splashes, or splashmarks on the screen surface. Using a Magic Duster will not remove these marks, what is the best method of cleaning the full screen area without causing any damage please?

Many thanks
