i bought a microsuede couch second hand and did not realise the smell of the smoke until I bought it into my smoke free home...I'm scared to give it a good scrub as it's microsuede and I don't want to wreck it? It's only six months old.

I need help locating a portable air conditioner that does not require a specialty plug. I can do with the old fashion 3 prone outlet. All the other models I have found require t-shape outlets in order to operate. So does anyone out there know of any portable air conditioners which operates with the old 3 prone outlets and the locations to find it.

All of a sudden I have all these thin blades of grass with what appear to be tiny flowers. I have never seen this before, but was told the grass was getting ready to seed. Should I mow the lawn or what can/should I do? Is it best to let it "re-seed" itself? Thanks!

Does any one know what these horrible little things are? Should I leave them be or should I get rid of them when I find them? What do they turn into? Will they eat my plants?

I just saw some at a yard sale and I'm thinking about going back and buying them . I don't describe furniture very well, but they were high-back wooden chairs and had a label that said No. 960 and also said Sikes Chairs Buffalo N.Y.
The seat of the chair is basically a rectangular wooden seat , but within the borders it had an inset leather circle for a seat .
I've tried searching but can't find any with that number. . . 960 . I'm beginning to think they may be rare and any help would be appreciated .

Where else can I look , or maybe somewhere to call ?
