I was strolling about in purgatory today when I found a big machine. It was as wide as two refrigerators and about eight feet tall. It was slightly rusty. It had a single large pipe that came out of the top on one side, and the pipe seemed to have some kind of needle in it. There was no door, but inside you could hear a sound like crying babies.

There were two big handles that didn't move at all, and there was something that looked like a hammer on a gear sticking out of the front. Every fifteen seconds there would be a soft "hiss", and gray-green smoke would come out of the vents on the side.

On the front, there was one single button. Should I go back tomorrow and press it? What will happen?

At some Walmarts, they sell material that resembles a wall hanging picture or front of a pillow. My aunt bought one and made me a wall hanging. There are different cats on all sides of the picture. There are 2 main cats in the front of the picture. One is swatting at a butterfly. There are also birds, and ab irdhouse with straw in it, in the picture. The background looks like a brown path, that winds into a field, and behind that trees. The path seems to turn gray the frther back it gets. Does anyone know who the artist is, or where I could find more information about it? I'm designing my room around it. :)

What are some easy-to-grow, fall-blooming flowers that I could plant now? I live in New Mexico, which has a pretty hot, dry climate.

How much is it to fit a gas hob? A relatively simple job on a kitchen island so no crawl about dinghy corners. There was a six inch extention required to the existing pipe under the floorboards and then some copper piping with about 4 elbows from the floor into the appliance. Job done. But charged £240.

My porcelain bathtub was refinished and it is all peeling off.
What is the best way to remove it? Is there a product that will dissolve it? A razor blade scraper is taking forever. THANKS

5 days and the seeds look the same.
I have grown generic-mixture grass with no problem. proper watering. Used starter soil etc.

I did the same and it seems to take forever.

I bought "Pennsylvania State" grass, a hybrid that grows perfect in Western Pa. Designed for moderate walking, grows in shade and sun, and stays green and healthy year round.

My back yard is a concrete pad fenced in with cinderblock. PLUS its int he heart of a "reviving" neighborhood, so anything I do has to either be too heavy to steal of something I can chain to something to prevent theft.
I am thinking I can probably grow some trees in 60 gal trash cans (rubber or plastic). They would be too heavy to move I am guessing.
Can I grow rose bushes in them? I have seen people plant those copper colored japanese elms in them and it looks really good.
Impatens fromt he 2nd floor windows. What else can I do??
Ive been living in basements for the past 10 years and Ill finally have sunshine :)

Do I need to take the pits out or will the heat in the pile kill them? I have plums and apricots dropping right now. I'm canning as much as I can, but my trees are overly abundant this year.

Does anyone know of any grant programs in Texas that will pay for home repair? I have a neighbor who lives on SSI and can't possibly repay any kind of loan. She's also 10 years too young to qualify for a reverse mortgage. I don't think her house would qualify, either--the roof is leaking and the foundation is cracked. She also needs a lot of other work.
I've checked every website I can think of, including HUD, which only has programs for loans and rural homeowners. Does anyone have any other ideas? This lady really needs help!

When I turn the setting to cool, the blower will only work about every other day. The outside unit works every time, but the blower does not seem to work but every other day. The outside unit will occasionally get some ice on it as well.
