The toilet is almost overflowing as it flushes.I checked to see if there was any blockage but found nothing.Over time the level of water decreased in the toilet to almost nothing.Also the shower is involved because the water did not properly drain as i took a shower.I would rather not have to go to a plumber.

Last year I planted eatable plants in pots on my lawn. The landlord puts all sorts of crap into the lawn, pesticides, etc. What are the chances that my potted plants, and thus probably my body, became contaminated. I would like to grow them again this summer, however this time I would like to be as informed as possible. Thank you very much.

The shirt is probably mexican from the 1970s. It appears to be a synthetic (nylon? polyester?) that has yellowed, and is trimmed with yellowed nylon lace.

I'd like to whiten this shirt without bleaching the bright (cotton?) embroidery on it.

Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

We replaced the carpet in most of our house with hardwood but kept the carpet in our kids rooms because the money was tight. Well now, while painting in our oldest daughters room we had an accident so we had to remove the carpet. I cant afford to replace the carpet or put hardwood down now so I want to just paint the floor and use rugs as a temporary fix. The problem is the floors of this house are presswood (horrible stuff). So will this work at all, and if so how should we go about it?

In my box in the wall, I have two white wires wire nutted together, I also have two black wires, one going to the base board heater, and the other to power source. Can I put the two red wires with the black wire to power source, and the black wires with the wire going to the base board heater? The thermostat is heat only, and is rated for 125/240/277.

One night my neighbor was outside with flashlight near his electric meter. I know him fairly well & walked over to see him fiddling around with the interior dials. The glass cover was completely off!!!!! I asked what the hell he was doing and he told me I better not tell anyone. I agreed and he taught me everything he knew. This guy was saving thousands a year!!!

I tuned mine back shortly afterward but ran into a problem as the little pointer needle for the '100 KPH' broke right off when I tried to turn it backwards. There is definitely no way to get it back on there are even some weird coils sticking out now. To make matters worse all the other dials seem to be moving faster now (I assume charging me more). I put the cover back on but am worried. My neighbor is vacationing in Europe for the next 3 weeks so he can't help me.

How do I fix this? Are there any electricians that can help me with an answer? Actually anyone that can help me?

The National Wildlife Federation has a certification program; cost to participate is $15. Getting the sign for bragging rights is more. They have over 77,000 yards certified nationally. Their goal is 100,000.

I finally signed on as I think it would send a good message to the neighbors and perhaps inspire someone else to garden for wildlife.
