How do you fix a quartz pocket watch that has stopped ticking? And how much would it cost to be done professionally?

After two attempts the paint I've put on my ceiling still looks like I've missed spots or applied it unevenly. The paint is throughly mixed and when applied looks purplish in collor and is supposed to dry white. Instead it has very uneven white markings.

I would honestly make $600 from all of it, and probably more. I feel greedy now, because I have given tons away before, but this time I just want a little cash back for all the money this stuff has cost me. I have a family I'm raising. So ... yard sale or just give it away ... P.S. It's clutter everywhere and I need my sanity!

bedding and other things in it. My MIN gets the magazine, and I have seen a bedding set in there that I want. I remember that the set was broken down and priced by item, and it was pretty expensive. I just would like to find a list of companies that send catalouges to your house through the mail. You know, once you get one, you get a hundred! I really want this item for my new house. Thanks!! BTW..I have done searces on the net for this, and searches for 'list of mail order catalogs'.

I am FINALLY purchasing a bedroom set and am trying to decide if it's really worth it/necessary to purchase a headboard and footboard. You can't buy just the headboard, so I'd have to pay for all or nothing. (I currently have just the bed on a regular metal frame, which is hidden by a bedskirt.) While I do like the look of a headboard and footboard, I hate to spend another $400 to just get them. What is your opinion? Does it really add that much to the overall feel of the room? (By the way, I am not the sort of person who would even attempt make my own headboard, so no need to suggest that...) : )

All my shirts are black. And after wearing them for a while, they've developed hard, cakey white deodorant stains on the armpits of my shirts. It's absolutly disgusting and now I can't wear those shirts. So is there any way to get rid of the stains? (Please be descriptive because just telling me "use baking soda" or something similar doesn't tell me a whole lot. Am I supposed to put baking soda in with my clothes in the washing machine or am I supposed to soak my clothes with baking soda? uhhh.. I think my point has been made.) Muchos Gracias!

Hello guys!
I live in USA for 2 years and i am not quite capable to tell the difference between duvet/comforter/quilt etc.
Bedding terminology is a little bit confusing.
Can anyone describe me exactly what is duvet and how is it different from comforter?
Also when i make my bed for the day-what do i cover it with-is it the comforter?
What do i cover myself at night with?Comforter or duvet?
Thank you

We are selling our home. Our Realtor told us with a master upstairs we need to deduct $5000.00 off our selling price of our home. Is this correct?

This entire project is being paid for out of my own pocket (I'm 15 and I don't have a job other than the odd jobs I can pick up, so simply put, I'm really low on the income, parents won't pay a cent).

One wall is going to be black/white diamonds, another red/black diamonds, one black with hand-drawn anime characters, one covered with posters. The ceiling wil be back with the Hellsing rune on it. The windows will have one black, one white curtain, and there will be dangling lights, and spotlights of different colors, installed.

I've been searching the internet for cheap furniture and decor but all I've found is an official bedding set and some pillows. I can't seem to find any really good places for anything and I'm stuck. Thrift stores near me are checked all the time but I'm stuck with places to go that sell for low to medium prices. I've got a couple hundred dollars to spend and I can push that to 1,000 if I really push, but I'm stuck.

Are there any ways I can get what I want?

We are on a well and have somewhat hard water. I have a 65 gallon fish tank. There are a couple of places where water got splashed over the top. This of course left a long, white, hard water, drip stain clear down the side of the tank. I have tried vinager, lemon juice, clr, scrubbing really hard, etc... Any other suggestions for how to get these stains off?
