Hi, ive just bought a zippo lighter and filled it up with the zippo lighter fluid. When i open the lid and light the zippo, the flame jumps across to the gas which is in the lid and the lid creates a mini fire!! Is my zippo faulty or is gas meant to build up in the lid?? Also, if gas does build up in the lid if i left it for a couple of days might the pressure build up so much that it explodes???? Please help, im worried!!

How often do I have to water my RED Cordyline? It says just to keep it moist and I am afraid of over and under watering it. Any advice would be great thank you.

Can you tell me the brand name(s) of this product? I have tried watering the lawn 3 times/week and it's still brown. OK, it went without watering for about 3 weeks but it appears to be in the process of getting greener now. I just wanted to dye the grass so it would be more uniform in color. Thanks.

I want to order the Bombay Company's bistro table with the marble top for my patio. Is it okay to keep it in an uncovered patio. Will rain water hurt the marble top or wrought iron?

My friend's mom called it 'sheep's breath', but I can't find it under that name on the internet. It look like a 3-leaf clover, but smoother and the leaflets are kind of heart-shaped. It has little yellow flowers, and tastes kind of lemony.

My family and I just moved into a new house a little less than a month ago. The house was built approx. 2 years ago. I asked my mom about getting a better showerhead in the kid's bathroom and she said that wouldn't be a problem, but the Plumber's Tape is still going strong, so she can't get it out. Is there a way to dissolve it or anything with out ruining the chrome on the plumbing fixtures?
