I don't want to use chemicals. Is there an easier/affordable/organic way other than sitting there pulling each weed out?

ok, im 15 and my parents house is extremely disgusting. its horrible and they barely ever clean!!! im going insane!!! ive tried cleaning but they screw it back up in less than a day!!! i love them so dont suggest cps, but for **** sake!!! my clothes and bed and sheets smell bad cause of it and if i come to school smelly because of my house, how am i gonna get a girlfriend? im very concerned and i cant run away, although i go to my friends houses as often as i can. the house smells like old mold, butter, old food and just plain its own disgusting smell


we have a cat and dog and they piss and sh*t on the floor and even though we pick it up, the smell lasts....so not only do they not clean it, but they cant keep it clean.when i clean it

will this affect me? will this stop me from having a girlfriend? will i get this habit? im scared!

I have textured walls and had to patch a hole in one. It's a good size patch. Is there an easy way to match the wall texture with the drywall patch?

I want them to be little squares, like 2.6666 inches square. When I go to Page Setup and set the paper size to a custom 8x8, only the TOP ruler displays that the page is indeed 8 inches. The vertical ruler shows that the paper is only 6 inches tall! It's so weird. Also, I want to essentially insert a table that is 3 columns across and 3 rows down, so that I can make 9 business cards on each page. Well, it won't let me do this- it keeps making the cells rectangles, instead of the 2.6x2.6 that I am inputting. Another thing is that I am finding that when I finally post the text that I've pre-written (you know, everything I want all nicely laid out on the business card) it WON'T center within the cell. I even highlight the text and hit the "center" button, and it still is all cut off on one side. I just feel like Word is being very UN user friendly today! I'm usually really good with the program. Ideas on how to make 9 little square cards from an 8x8 paper would be awesome!

I don't have a fenced in yard, but my neighbors fence runs along the back of my yard. He never weed eats and I have to get out and do it eventhough it is NOT my fence. I weed eat the side that I see, but he never sees it so I guess he assumes he is not responsible for the weeds growing up on the outside of the fence. I could see dong it if my yard was fenced in also and I was benefitting from the fence. But since I don't benefit from the fence, I don't think I am responsible for the maintenance of the outside of it.

we don't want to go to all the effort (and cost) of boxing, taping and labeling everything to move three minutes down the road. I'm not too worried about how many trips we have to make just want an easy way to get everything from one place to the other. THANKS!!!

I just bought a home with a pretty simple brick fireplace in the living room. It's painted white with an oak mantle, and the glass that covers it, is gold colored. I really don't like the way it looks but i just don't have a clue how to dress it up appropriately. I've been watching HGTV and stuff but i'm clueless what look i'm going for. I'm also going to purchase a large screen LCD TV and set it on top of the mantle. Is this ok? Someone please help. Thanks guys!

The 'grout ' between patio slabs in the back garden is mostly earth now and is constantly attracting weeds. I want to rake it out and replace it with a cement but what mixture is best for this purpose. Any good advice appreciated.
Thanks

theres a bird.

he lives in the tree outside my office window

i dont usually have a problem with birds but this one is insane

he routinely makes it a game to sit on the branch of the tree then crash into the window as hard as he can.

hes not dead yet. (obviously)

and the window's not broken

but its the most annoying thing. he'll do it over and over again.

most of the time it'll be 500-700times a day

does anyone know what he wants or why he/she might be doing this?

if this helps, its a greyish-brown colored bird, with a red belly, and its rather fat when it sits down on the branch.
while flying its about 3/4 of the size of a crow, and it has an orange beak.

although he seems to be there all the time, there is no nest that i can see and even if there was im not going up there to try to get it down and relocate the little motherfuc|
please help me someone...anyone?

Hey y'all! :)

I am moving into a small 1 bdrm apt, and need help with decorating tips. I do have a limited budget (think LIMITED), but I'm also not creative. I enjoy Japanese culture, and have lots of little "nick-nacks" from Japan, but NO idea how to decorate with that! I also have 1 large blank white wall, that I can't paint - any ideas?

Also - know of any "at home tricks" or creative ways to stretch a penny??

Thank you SOO much! I really appreciate it! ^_^

I left the garbage indoors for a little too long and now I see ants crawling all over the garbage. I got rid of the garbage yesterday, cleaned the floor, thought everything was fine... then this morning I found a bunch of ants in the kitchen! killed those too... but now I'm not sure when more will appear?

I was told that I should spray vinegar around the entrances and stuff... how effective is vinegar??
