Home & Garden - 3 March 2007

I collected Betty Crocker coupons in the early 70's and purchased a set of flatware. I seem to recall the name was "My Rose" or something quite similar. I am trying to locate pieces of this and I am having no luck. They have, of course, long since been discontinued with Betty Crocker. Does anyone have any ideas where I can look? and to save you the time, I have tried looking on Ebay with no luck.. Thank you kindly.

I got a streak of blue temper paint on a garment (lime green) of mine. Is there any way to remove it? (It has already been through the wash and dryer.)

Whether it's the light stuff, like weeding, or more involved activities like mowing or heavy pruning, do you prefer to do it yourself or pay a gardener to do it?

What is the best potting soil to use for indoor plants? Name brands or does it matter? What should the texture be like? The kind I bought was moist feeling and very heavy? Should I repot them soon with something else? Thanks for the input.

Maybe I'm just used to seeing my house the way it is but I've noticed that when I've had my house cleaned, it looks REALLY good and when I clean it it just looks decent. What details do maids pay attention to that makes their work look good?

My neighbour has just handed me a form to sign stating that I have no objection to them using the party walls between our houses for their imminent loft conversion. The work is to install structural support beams in the wall. Is this something that I need to take advice on before I sign? Who do I go to? And is this something that my neighbour should pay for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am in the UK.

We live in So. Cal and during a cold spell our tree over night turned brown..just the leaves. There are couple of green leaves but mostly brown..they are now falling off. We assumed that the tree is dead and was going to remove it but the trunk still looks nice and healthy. How do we know if it's dead or not?

Would having a small table on my side of the bed & a night stand on his side cause problems?
I've read that there should be 2 equal size night stands in the bed room.
I guess I'm wondering if by my having a bigger table that it is causing me to care more than he does.

We live in an apartment and have a serious problem with mold. The caulk in our shower stall grows it constantly. I have tried bleach, the tilex mold and mildew remover, and that scrubbing bubbles daily shower cleaner. No of them seem to work. Short of stripping out the caulk, how can I get rid of the problem?

I am installing new door knobs and when I tighten the screws, the door handle doesn't have a spring to it anymore. I have diagnosed the problem to be with the latch. For some reason, once I tighten everything the latch is no longer in there straight and the door sticks. Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy as it works when the screws are in only about 1/2 way and then it sticks if I put them in further! I have an adjustable latch, I'm using the 2 3/8 position, should I move it to 2 3/4? If I do that, it's going to dig into the inside of the door some.

Just put a drain field in about 8 years ago. Had to have it pumped out 6 weeks ago and toilets are already starting to back up again, and the shower has standing water if we take too long of showers. Wife just revealed that she has been flushing kitty litter for years. It could also be roots from our maple tree. Any suggestions? I figure I'm going to at least have to get it pumped again which is 150 bucks, but I wonder if there are chemicals or other suggestions that will help.
