I am a single semi-senior citizen with a zeal for organic gardening. I am not strong enough to start a recoil type engine. ( I have a DR trimmer which has an electric start system.) Why are there not more electic start products on the market? As we all know, our senior citizen ranks are growing. With gardening implements that are easy to start and use, it seems to me that there would be a demanding market for such tools.

about 3 days ago I lifted the blinds on one of the windows in my living room and it was covered in horse flies. Where they cam from- I dont know! So we killed them and were ok for the rest of the day. The next day same thing, we kill them and they come back the next day. Its very weird and I can find where they are comming from. I dont know what to do. The window is only place we see them, and its by a sliding glass window and they dont go near it!? I need help!

I'm renovating in the kitchen. It's a single bedroon apartment and I live by myself. I've got a dishwasher. Will I be sorry if I don't put in a double sink? A large sink is so nice for soaking the roaster or lasagna pan in.

I have some shirts for work that have stained collars from sweat. I live in a hot and humid climate in summer, and despite having air conditioning, sometimes it's not cool enough, so I sweat. What's the best way to remove the stain without dry cleaning?

Esentially I'm repainting a patio set. The paint on the old set is in decent condition for it's 10 yo age. It is a black set. The black paint was flaking in some areas therefore I used a wire brush on my drill and removed the rust and flaky paint. I also scratched up the paint a lot so that there is no gloss. Is it necessary that I use a primer regardless? I'm using rust-oleum spray paint.

short of buying an air rifle (only kidding animal lovers!) I don't want to plant out my new plants and vegetables only to find that the local cat community have dug them up for their own sanitation pleasures! I don't want to put any chemicals down that'll harm them, so i didn't know if there were any plants that would discourage them? Thank you x

I bought this little cactus at Wal-Mart 4 years ago on the clearance rack for 99 cents. It used to stand straight up - it's a common single stem (not sure of the right word) cactus. But now it just hangs limply over the side of it's pot. It was never root bound, but the roots will just not grow out, I guess, to support the top. I have tried propping it with a network of sticks and string, so it will stand up but it insists on finding a way to plop back down again EVERY time. If I put a rock there to support it, it finds away around it in just a few days. Everyone laughs at it and says it needs some viagra! Lol. Why does my cactus insist on growing this way??

My appliances are white and I'm going to paint my cupboards white also, then do some of the tin tiling for the backsplash and the stove and oven area.

I'm taking my soft coton khakis to the cleaner today and want to know if "light" or "medium" starch will be best to keep them from wrinkling while I'm at work.

Any ideas?

Ok this is freaking me out! I took my puppy out this morning and found all these tiny little holes in my yard. There is no soil around them or anything like that. Just looks like someone stuck their finger in the ground a million times. I am sooooooooooo worried that they are spiders, because in the fall there were these webs in my yard and the rest of the neighborhood that had little tunnels in the middle. Anyone know what they could be??

She always shows up in my yard while I am gardening. She wears loose tops and bends over in front of me so that I can see her breasts. She never is wearing a bra either.

It is having an effect on me now, how do I handle?

I want to lay bermuda sod. The area is a lot of bare dirt, weeds, and possibly some patches of St. Augustine. The area used to be more shaded, but I cut a tree down. I believe tilling the area would be troublesome as I would run into a lot of tree roots. Can I just spread an inch or two of topsoil over the whole area and lay the sod? Do I need to kill what's there before I do this?
