I've seen advertisements for Yaktrax, STABILicers, and others. Does anyone have any experience with these, or know where I can find a good comparative review? I'll mostly want them for walking on a hill with about a 30 degree slope, to shovel the driveway and get the mail.

I have an interest/ need for to seal computer mb disk. Do you think the food saver would keep humidity out? Are they air tight ? ever tried?

Got to be better than a zip bag for my computer stuff. A friend of mine thinks before we go on trips this would be a nice idea to seal our computer floppy MB disks.

So how long do you think they'll stay dry? seen frozen food still get freezer burn? Please tell me if you have ever tried for alternative use.

Important: Have ever had humidity inside bag when at water?

Alright if not able to answer of know that then Has a freezer bag ever become separated apart and open before you want it to ?

I know that the sound of water flowing is calming and nice, so i brought a nice water fountain that has three candles on it with rocks underneath it, but i just read that water fountains are not good in regards to the feng shui? is this correct, and if so, what should i do because i want my bedroom to be a calming, yet interesting place to reside and sleep in. thanx. help.

I live in a dark area of town where there is no street lights. I have been wanting to get flood lights to illuminate the outside at night when we get home, so that we dont have to walk in the darkness to the house.
I saw these and was wondering if they were any good,

http://www.tvmarketplace.net/(hneerwf0gt3s5xq1gy1sqvym)/products/product.aspx?id=553&OVRAW=pen%20howl%20flood%20lights&OVKEY=flood%20light&OVMTC=advanced#Included

The only reason i am going for solar powered is because we are renting and there is no connection outside for a flood light where it is needed. The only out door lights we have is in the backyard, (on the rightside of the house), and the porch, (in the front). Neither illuminate an area where someone could easliy hide in the shadows.

I have to glue styrofoam bricks to plastic drop sheets (normally used for painting.) What do you recommend?

I hear hot glue melts styrofoam, and I've tried super glue (it melts the styrofoam.) Anything with solvents will melt the styrofoam, and accetone won't work, I've tried it.

My outside water hydrant broke. Upon leaving the pressure tank, the water flows through a 3/4" pipe to the hydrant where it tees off. One side of the tee goes to the hydrant, the other continues on to supply my house with water. When I went to remove the hydrant, the small piece of pipe that screws into the tee broke, leaving the rest of it locked up in the threads of the tee. I'm getting ready to cut the pipe off right before the tee. Someone brought a pipe threader by for me to use and told me that he was instructed to remind me to keep oiling the pipe while i rethreaded it. I don't have any cutting oil. Any ideas on a good substitute?

He has been going through alot of family issues ( a death in the family ) and has been hurt soo much by other females. What could be holding him back from asking me to be his. Or could I already be ?

The first shower in the morning is barely lukewarm. Recovery is fine after the first usage in the morning with water reaching the desired temperature quickly. Pilot and burner appears normal. Temperature valve is set fairly high and water registers 128 degrees. Water heater is in a heated garage. Problem has been getting worse over last few months. I have replaced the dip tube and drained much of the water out which was surprisingly clean. Water heater is 7 years old. Clerk at Home Depot suggested replacing the thermocoupler, but the standing pilot seems to run just fine so I question that idea. Any ideas will be appreciated.
