As I was vicously tending to my lawn (it now has brown patches where grass once was) I noticed them, the clovers. Do I let them grow or chuck em...are they weeds?

khaki colored fabrics? I spilled something on my BRAND NEW brand new pair of khaki colored cotton pants. I treated it with Spray N Wash, which I've being using forever. I THOUGHT it was a trusted product. I also spilled the same greasy food product on a navy blue cotton shirt & used Spray N Wash on that garment as well. I washed both items. The shirt looks like brand new, no stain. The pants, look like I used chlorine bleach to treat the stain! There is a huge discolored round spot where I treated it.

After a very mad email to Spray N Wash, the response I got from them, 4 days later was..."So sorry you had a bad experience. All of our products say not to use on khaki fabrics. We're sending you some coupons, Sorry."

Sorry so long but I am MAD. Do I have a right to be? Was I supposed to read the label of a product that I've been using forever, just to see if they changed any of the rules? Yes, I'm mad because these $40 pants are now trash. I am not rich. Next time I will SHOUT it out!

Been wanting a Gardenia. Seen the 'big' ones - prob 6+ ft. Purchased a 'Mystery' yesterday but read later only 3 ft tall. Does anyone know? Or which are the bigger ones? Can't even seem to find a good site w/different Gardenias & their sizes, etc.

Thanks!!

Not the seat part, but the lid to the tank.

I picked the lid up and it broke, but I can't figure out where to buy a new one without buying the entire toilet.

Thanks in advance.

What is the best way to get rid of snails once you've caught the blighters? I don't fancy just killing them. Can they serve a useful purpose elsewhere?

I have a huge wall (cathedral ceilings) with a built in entertainment center which has shelving on both sides of a tv. Above our television we have a very large art niche - probably about 12 feet high by 6 feet wide. The previous owners had a custom tuscan mural painted in it but it is not our style so we are trying to come up with other ideas. The niche is framed by molding. Does anyone have any ideas of how to decorate this space or do you know of any websites w/ pictures or ideas? Thanks!

Right now there's vinyl flooring there and I want to put down this laminate that looks like stone. I just don't know if I have to remove the toilet to put it in or do I cut around it and caulk? I want it to look as professional as possible. I just don't want it to scream "AMATEUR".

i have a strawberries plant in my garden and its got loads of strawberries on it, but when do i pick them? Most of them are green but some of them are half red. Do they get redder after you pick them or do they only go red while on the plant?
