I burn candles all the time. I'm just wondering if anybody knows where the wax goes after it gets consumed by the flame. Does it just evaporate into the air? Are my lungs and walls now coated with wax that I can't see or what??

I'd been having trouble with a light fixture in my kitchen. It "shorted out" and caused the circuit it was on to fail. The circuit breaker would not trip, but nothing on the circuit would work. I replaced the socket on the fixture, and it seemed to work OK for a while, but the other day the light went out and again the circuit failed without tripping the breaker. I decided to replace the entire light fixture, and I'm pretty sure I hooked it up correctly (black to black, white to white, and since the new fixture didn't have a ground wire I hooked the ground wire from the box in the ceiling to the green screw on the strap.) The circuit still does not work. One thing: I turned on the light switch and the light comes on, but very dimly. Am I missing something? If so, what? I've been trying to fix this since Saturday and I'm losing my mind. SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE!!

Every time I stick a pair of socks inside the clothes dryer, one sock magically disappears. No matter how hard I try to find the other sock, it is forever lost in what seems to be another dimension within the dryer. Any thoughts on this?

We have natural gas heat and we are having a debate over whether it is cheaper to just leave the heat on (so the furnace doesnt' have to work to heat the house back up when we get home), or turn it off every time we leave.

Someone told me I shouldn't burn pine firewood in my house. Why is that? I'm cutting up a bunch of (already) fallen trees from the forest near my place, and there are a few nice, big pines that would make for a lot of logs.

After flushing, water flows out of bottom of tank and down hill over the porcelain seat area, and then onto floor: irritating, messy, dangerous.
Old house, no work done there for 20+ years. Float and flapper have been replaced c. 10 years ago. What shall I try? (Plumbers are hard to lure out into country.)

I just got some m373 splitproof chisels online. One of the chisel blades has a tiny nick on it, another has a little 'blueing' on a corner as a result of heat, and one has a faded 'D' on the word ENGLAND on the face of the chisel. Are these normal results of manufacturing?
Was your set perfect or did it also have one or two tiny imperfections?
(The imperfections i mention are very small indeed. On the whole, the set is very tidy.)

OK, the problem is my toilet will not flush all the way down. I have to flush it like 4 times to get it all the way down. It starts to flush but only goes like halfway every time. It's really aggravating. It's almost like you have to get the perfect flush in order to get it down! Can anyone help me?

How can this be done without harming them? Our neigbors cats are constantly in our yard, on our driveway, on our deck etc. They are very annoying and sneaky.
