Everytime I wash my black t-shirts, I find that they are losing their "blackness" into a more dark red or some other color. How do I prevent this? Thanks in advance.

I need to decorate my studio apartment. I am in the market for a futon or lounge chair and I have limited space, a limited budget and to top it off I have a bad back, so I need something comfortable :) I am young so I want something hip and modern. I was looking at some Target styles...Mali Flex Futon Combo - Black and Penelope Pillow Chair - Black
Has anyone out there purchased these items or have something they reccomend? Thank you!!

My home is an older home with windows that slide up and down. The kitchen window was painted when it was slighly open. The top portion of the window frame is overlaping the bottom window frame, they are painted together to each other. How do I break the paint apart so I can open and close the window?

I am going on a trip with my High School choir in a couple of days and we have to bring our (dry-clean only) dress uniforms. I don't have time to get it dry cleaned, so is there anything I can do to my dress to make it fresher or smell better?

Well being such a beautiful day, we had the doors and windows open all day. All screens are in of course. Tonight, there are these tiny little black or brown bugs that are flying all over. They look like tiny house flies, but maybe with more legs. We live in a very wooded neighborhood. We are new here, so we've never seen them before. Please help, They are EVERYWHERE... even flying into the computer screen as I type this. Please don't tell me to clean my house. It's clean.

I have an old cracked tub surround. No money to replace it. Is there a water proof paint I can use on the wall if I remove the surround? Any better ideas?

You know, the ones that you plug into the wall and emit a high frequency noise that rats and mice can hear but we can't. It's supposed to drive the rodents crazy, but not bother humans and domestic animals.

Our city ordinances do not allow for burning, so that's out. I know Roundup will do it if enough is used, but that can get pricey real quick!

I don't care what I use to kill it, as long as it stays gone. If whatever I use prevents new vegetation (in any form) from growing there for years to come, all the better. Someone had suggested pouring gas on the ground, but that's a fire hazard. Not going there.

I need kinds of plants that don't need a lot of direct sunlight because of the balcony above me and the fence. They would also need to be ok with a lot of water. The lady upstairs waters her plants a lot and the water drains down.
