Okay so I'm sick of getting raised eyebrows from Daddy when he finds my black lace thongs in the family wash. I suffered from a bout of insomnia and decided to teach myself how to do laundry. I managed to get my clothes sorted into DARKS, LIGHTS, WHITES, and "OTHER THINGIES", but I don't know where to go from there. Do you put like bras and stuff in according to color or do you start another load? What temperature are you supposed to use for what? Just take me through the steps, and pretend you're talking to a 5-year-old, I'm not a rocket scientist.

I just came to a realization...

I have never once seen/smelled a banana scented candle...Are there any out there? Has anyone ever owned one? I know it's a really odd question... but it's kind of weird isn't it?

I put the black weed blocking material down thouroghly and then mulched deeply. I keep spraying these things with Round-up and it doesnt even bother them. How can they grow through the wedd material? I was sure to cover all holes before mulching. Any Ideas? I cant pull them up or dig them up or I will tear the material.

I am in the process of completely remodeling my kitchen and cannot believe how hard it has been to find a NICE trash can for the kitchen that is larger than 13 gallons in size. Currently I am using an ugly outdoor can...I have 5 school age kids and a dog--I'd be changing the trash 3 times a day with a tiny can--Where can I get a 30+ gallon trash can that is actually nice? Anybody?

Additional notes: I have considered purchasing a can that is designed for a more elegant restaurant so that I can get the size I need--but I can't stand the thought of spending $1000 on a trash can---HELP!

My neighbors have this sandy looking stuff on patches of their lawns. I looked it up, and I'm wondering if they're using green sand. Anyone know anything about this? If it's a lawn secret, I want in on it!

We have successfully planted elephant ears (thye were beautiful last summer) and extra large....well its that time a year again and we are looking to trim our property line Well I found some tropical palms that I absolutely would love to plant but im unsure if they will withstand the weather here. We are beginners at this gardening so we need advice before we start buying plants. We would like to plant them in the ground in the spring and then remove themm before winter but Im concerned that eventually we wont be able to get them in to the house here is a link to the one's I would like to have.

Ryobi mower 6.5 engine. Model number 11A-545D034. Took it to the shop twice before for the same thing at $50 a pop. I was told that when the blades hit a rock, the timing is knoced off so the blade does not get damaged more. Now the mower won't start until the timing is set. Would rather know how to fix it myself instead of putting more money into it.
