So I'm debating between a Tempurpedic Memory Foam bed or a Sleep Number bed with a Memory Foam mattress Topper ...what's better in your opinion? especially for those who have tried both. They're around the same price.

We purchased an awesome, unique 50's sofa set at an estate sale. It had been left sitting in a vacant home prior to us getting it and had a moth infestation. We fixed that but the fabric is falling apart. Slipcovers don't work because it's very uniquely shaped. We got a quote for upholstery and it was $2000. All reupholstery shops I called said they start at $1K for a couch. Help! Anybody know a good way to get some reupholstered affordably? We're the two least crafty, most inept with sewing people in the universe so DIY is probably out.

The lights in my bathroom & hallway are flickering; quick blinks, not completely on and off but quick flicks that are irritating to the eye. How do I fix this problem? Should I replace the circuit breakers or is it something more.

My mom bought me this cream colored coat. I love it but of course it gets dirty easily. Its machine washable but it's not supposed to be bleached. The last time I washed it the stains barely budged. So I figure it needs to be pretreated. What is the best way to do this and what are some good products to use?

I was given a large box of tulips (100 bulbs) from a well intending friend. I know nothing about tulips other than the fact that they are very pretty when planted in close, large groups. I need any help you can give on successful tulip growing!
