It's not the dishwasher that's broken but what it's connected to. I guess it's connected to the knob by the kitchen faucet -- the knob that looks like it doesn't do anything but block water. The knob broke off so I was wondering what I need to do to fix it.

It is about 4ft tall, its leaves are 30cm long and linear with spines along the centre ridge on the back of the leaf and they are in pairs all the way up the stem.. The edges of the leaves are serrated,it has a flower coming at the top of it's single stem but I can't tell what colour it is yet. they spent the winter as rosettes of about 6 leaves almost flat on the ground ', but have really sprouted since april. I have about 10 of these growing where I scattered a packet of wild flower seeds last year but I have lost the packet.

I built the stand up to the part where you put the tv on it.
Stand: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050827.jpg
My finger is where the brackets would go. My nail is where the screw would go: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050830.jpg
Back of tv: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050832.jpg
My finger is where the rectangular mounting frame would go: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050833.jpg
As you can see the bolt ends up attached to the air: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050834.jpg
This is the supposed safety bolt that "stops the tv from falling": http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050838.jpg
It consists of a screw through a plastic cylinder and doesn't even touch the tv (hand is where tv would go): http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/tinkypatz/TV/P1050839.jpg
Does it look right? are the brackets just supposed to be put on the frame and not secured?

I'd like to use the water to water my plants, but my aquarium water is pretty messy right now. Will it smell? Would it help fertilize the plants? Seriously.

I have a mom and pop rug cleaning service on their way over. What do I need to know? Berber rugs... they said it would take 8 hours to dry. They guaranteed that the pet stains would come out, no guarantee on the smell. Any ideas?

Thanks for your time in answering this question!

My husband is driving me crazy by always getting mad at me if I leave a standing fan in our bedroom plugged it. I always turn it off, but usually don't take the time to bend over and unplug it. He says that we are wasting energy by leaving it plugged in. Is this true? I really can't imagine how this fan would dramatically affect our electric bill. We have lots of other appliances around the house (lamps, computers, etc.) that we do not unplug after each use. What's the deal?

I just purchased a house. The house has auto sprinklers. Some of the sprinklers are ineffective and unnecessary. Can I just cap the sprinklers under the ground? I live in Utah where the ground often freezes during the winter. Will capping the sprinkler have an effect on draining the sprinklers and thus freezing problems during the winter?

I'm growing beefsteak tomatoes in containers. On one of the plants, the developing tomatoes have a darkened area on the bottom. Is this blossom end rot? If so, what can i do now? There are a lot of tomatoes on the plant, but the tomatoes are no where near ready to ripen. Is it too late? Do I need to remove these tomatoes? I planted the tomato plants approx 6 weeks ago and are already 4.5 to 5 feet tall. I'm guessing they're growing at an extremely fast rate.

I believe I have raspberry bushes all around my property. (I just recently moved here, so I'm not 100% sure)
The white blooms have just fallen off, but I don't see any signs of berries forming. Does anyone know when the berries start to appear after the bush blooms?

A few weeks ago I bought some Dahlias and one of them had this vibrant pink flower. I have a container garden so I potted it in regular potting soil. Watered as usual. It's doing fine except all of the new flowers that are coming up out of this same plant are a bright sunny yellow?! Is there some kind of additive or acidity need for dahlia I didn't know about? How can I get my pink flowers back?
