I have bought a zippo lighter as a birthday present for my boyfriend. What fuel should I put in it and how? Also, can I put the lighter/fuel in my suitcase (in the hold) when flying?

I need to buy a product that will help fasten my sheets tight to my mattress. Specifically I've been looking for those little garter-type straps that clip to the sheets (like the once that strap under ironing board covers). I've found them online but want to purchase locally as time is of the essence. However, I've been all over town --- to Target, K-Mart, and some locally-owned shops that carry products for the home --- to no avail. I will try Bed, Bath, and Beyond today. BUT I'm wondering if anyone else knows of national retailers that carry this sort of product. Thanks.

I have just moved house and I know how to operate the dishwasher and it's cycles. It doesn't matter which cycle it's on the dishes come out filthy. The glasses are more noticable than the crockery because they're clear. (well supposed to be) everything has little floaty things stuck to it, it seems to consist of the washing power and tiny particals of food. I have emptied and washed out the filter thingi on the bottom that collects food scraps and it doesn't change anything. There is no water in the bottom of the wahsing machine when it's finished but when it's operating it seems to be working just fine. It apears to be going through its cycles ok but everything has tiny grubby particals on it. I don't use it and hand wash now so we don't get sick. What does it sound like that's wrong with it? Are they worth repairing or should I just get a new one?
Thanks :)

I was told by a contractor hired to install a septic tank system on 11 acres of property in rual West Texas that soil samples taken from the lot require analysis in Austin and this is why after being paid a large sum of money up front, he can't start the job for more than one month. Can this be true? Do all septic installations require some sort of approval from the State Capitol? Seems odd.

Thanks for your comments.

My 3 1/2 ton A/C condenser is at least 15 years old and never has a fryon service. It is getting longer to get to the set temperature. I am thinking to add fryon myself. Is it simple?
Please advise.

I heeard that the a/c use gas to cool the house is very expensive, some people's pg&e bill goes up to 500 dollars. Is that for real?
