Just purchased new bed...like sleeping in a watchtower. It is way too high!!! I removed the frame and put the boxspring/mattress directly on the floor. At least I don't have to take a running jump to get into bed! Any reason the boxspring cannot be on the floor, instead of the frame?

First I am not a drug addict in anyway and only tried it once when I was young and it made me so paranoid I went nuts , same with my fiancee so we have no interest in using it . However my fiancee thinks the plant would look nice in the garden , it is a unique plant so I really have no qualms about it other then I wonder if I will be arrested .

Question - Is it illegal to grow marijuana or is this possession ? Would I need a lawyer to get clearance to grow it ?

I want to add more solar panels to my array. I have two Kyrocera 55 watt panels now. Do the new panels that I want to add need to be the same brand and wattage? I would like to add panels as I find good deals on them and not be limited to the size or brand so I can save some money.

I know that solvents are not required to make good paint, for instance there are many REAL low voc paints that do not use these solvents and the performance of that paint is equally comparable to the performance of the more toxic types.

How can one say that 300 G/L is low VOC? that is ridiculous, do you think most people are aware that they are inhaling fumes of ethylene glycol, a solvent banned in paint in California? MANY paints contain Ethylene Glycol and it is highly unnecessary so why do companies continue to put these toxic substances in paint?

Another fallacy is the fact that a day or two after the paint is applied the fumes magically disappear...these solvents may continue to "outgas" for months post application - So I guess if people like to inhale carcinogenic solvents use toxic paint right?

Another suggestion by someone is to use perfume to decrease the odor, tell me how does adding perfume decrease the amount of molecules of gaseous solvent in the air?

Is there anything I can plant over top of the poison oak and poison ivy plant to drown it out? Or do I just have to use a weed killer chemical? I'm trying to avoid killing some seedlings I planted nearby.

I'm 13 and i like stripes. I'm a bit punk rocker and I like the colors red, lime green, bright neon blue, black, and orange. Stripes on the walls and maybe a cool bedding set would be good. I don't have a budget but I would say no more then 300-450 $. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks <3Shay

We can't afford new carpeting right now, but paint is cheap! Also, if you want to go a step further, what color curtains?

I would like to have climbing roses that bloom all summer long like my mother's used to. The color dosen't really matter but hardiness and scent are a big plus. How are all season bloomers labeled? Any suggestions on names? I live in zone 6. Thanks.

I planted over 300 tulip bulbs and not one flower.
Did I plant them up side down?
If so IF I dig them up will they die?
Pondering this.....over and out.

Okay, even when my house is clean, there are SO many thingd that bug the CR@P out of me!!! But I am only 12 so maybe I can fix is some of it. This may sound compulsive but I have these water stains on my white ceiling, and paint won't work to cover it. It just soaks up in the tile. Also, I have this really raggy couch that is a sectional so it cant have a slip cover, and it's recliners have raggy cloth on the broken feet rests. Also, My cat scratched the side of the other love-seat, so it has these white cotton strips oozing from the side. AND my recliner in the living room has nasty stains from my younger siblings on the arm rests and chair cushoins, which can't be removed. There is a rip in the other couch on top, which I think I an sew, right? Abd I REALLY need to touch up the kitchen walls. There are also burn stains on my pale yellow/ off white stove. Will primer work to cover water stains on my ceiling? PS: I can't get the nasty BROKEN sectional couch out of the house.Too heavy.

My Daffodils have finished blooming and Im left with the green stalk like stems and leaves. Can I cut them down to the ground and cover them with mulch for a clean look or should I leave them and let them wither down?

Thanks
