I didn't realize you weren't supposed to put paper towels in the toilet (stupid me) and had several in there from my puppy's accidents since I didn't want it smelling up the trash. Anyways, my toilet is clogged but I plunged it and had guys plunge it and nothing works...the water goes down but as soon as I flush it it comes back up. I heard something about an auger helping -- would it and how about this link http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1878801456.1171828940@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdladdkekmegefcgelceffdfgidgki.0&CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=misc/searchResults.jsp&MID=9876&N=2984+3116&pos=n10

I've been seeing it around my neighborhood alot, and i love it! But i dont know what its called.

it has large fist sized pink blossoms on bare branches. They grow pretty tall, above house height sometimes. They look like big darker pink flowers on completely bare branches with no leaves. The blossoms almost reminds me of the tulip shape.. rounded in

Where can I purchase plastic indoor stair railing that could be attached to an existing wrought iron indoor stair railing? The plastic must be flexable enough to make a spiral of about 6 to 8 feet. The railing must also be paintable.

I have an open wood fire. Often the wood "spits" out a spark or small piece of burning wood. What causes this? Damp wood? Sap in the wood? I keep it stored dry and the farm I buy wood at claims it is "seasoned".

I can't find a neutral colour to paint my lounge in, we have a milk chocolate leather settee and a oak laminated floor, but we have just recently painted the walls in dulux beige white which looked nice when we tried it from a sample pot but now that the whole room is painted in it the walls look a dirty greeny grey colour, so yet again I have got loads of different samples painted all over one of the walls.

We have tried different products from Home Depot (polyseamseal All-purpose adhesive caulk, GE kitchen & bath silicone II, DAp kwik seal plus kitchen & bath adhesive caulk, you name it) and none will last more tha 6 weeks. What tipe of product would you recommend? I've even thought of getting some silicone sealant for boats (West Marine) or for fish tanks.

I don't understand the difference between "natural light" , plant grow or flourescent light bulbs in an attempt to give houseplants artificial sunlight. Do any or all work?

Okie doke, I'm moving from my current apartment, which has severe hard water. Anyway, I'm about to go clean the bathtub really well, but it says on the backs of both CLR and Lime Away not to breathe the vapors. Do I really need a little medical mask thing, or would like a bandana over my mouth and nose be enough? Thanks!

I keep my house super clean but it seems my coat is a MAGNET for hair and lint everywhere I go. I tried Static Guard spray but it didn't really help. Any tricks to make it repell the evil little hairs would be greatly appreciated!
(yes, my next winter coat will be a nylon ski jacket instead!)

The Model # is WJSR2070B2WW. It was off balance and started making a horrible noise and wouldn't agitate or spin. It does fill up and pump the water back out. My son looked at it and pushed on something underneath and it agitated, but still wouldn't spin. He says he thought some "shaft" was bent. He is not an appliance repair person, though. Online sites are suggesting some coupler thing could be the problem. I am praying it is not the clutch or transmission. This washer is only 4 years old. We are on fixed income and can't afford costly repair or new washer. If we knew what it was, son could probably fix it. HELP!!
