Is it better to build a new home on a slab or crawl space? I know it's more expensive to do the crawl space, but is it worth it?

This is the scenario. We buy the frozen check breasts and let them thaw on a plate and use kitchen scissors to trim off the fat. What is the proper/best way to clean up those items without contaminating the other dishes, glasses, bowls,etc.

p.s. Right now our dish washer is broken.

What kind of paint should I use to paint the floor with to resist, oil and dirt. I am also concerned that painting it might make it slippery. Any suggestions?

I read that when not using the battery for more than 30 days, its best to store the battery in the uncharged state. With a full charge, but under no load, how long will a battery hold its charge? The reason I ask is there are periods of more than 30 days when i dont use it. However when i do need it, I dont want to wait an hour to charge the battery. Ie if i dont use it for 40 days, and then i use it, can i expect to get much out of it before it needs to be recharged? thanks

Purchased a New Home Memory 7 used - no manual unfortunately - can't get it to do a basic stitch! It sews 2 or 3 stitches and the needle jumps to the left. When I check it, there is a TON of thread under the material. Any ideas what is going on? I don't even understand how to thread this thing, I can't see where the thread is going.

My high heel shoes always smell fine when I first get them, but after a while they start to smell really bad & make my feet smell bad whenever I take them off. Is there anything I can clean the inside of them with to make the smell come out? I know its hard to keep shoes like this smelling nice since you dont wear socks with them, but I dont want to just throw them out. Can anyone help?

I was laying down on my side yesterday under the covers and suddenly a spider comes crawling from out of my blankets.

Ever since then I have been scared and paranoid about everything around me.

Where do they come from? Do they lay eggs indoors?

If they lay eggs what do they look like because I want to get rid of them.
