I'm new to bras (I've worn camis my whole life, bras are the most uncomfortable things ever but I'm giving them a chance). I bought a nice nude colored one at V'S S, Body By Victoria (Semi annual sale W00t!) and it says that it should be hand washed. (what?!? in the bathtub?? lol I have no clue). Can't I just buy one of these --> http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77006&PRODID=74310 and toss it in that and throw it in the wash? Do I have to set the wash to delicate then? It's pointless bc I don't have any other delicates to wash along with that & I just wash all my regular old clothes on a normal setting.

Sry if I'm making this seem more complicated than it is!!

I am aware that you should make sure you have them after 7 at night. But my neighbour said we live in a 'smoke-free zone' and she put my fire out yesterday evening with her hosepipe!
I thought 'smoke-free zone' only applied to cigarette smoking. I live in London zone 3 (therefore the outskirts of the city)..?

This light was kind of like a nightstand in brians bedroom. It was basically one big plastic box that completly lit up. It was just a big white cube. It was made of some type of hard product because you could set something on it. I cannot locate something like this anywhere. Please help with a website or something.

We tend to find bugs in the sink and tub during the summer months - centipedes, earwigs, slimy things. Why do they always seem to turn up near a drain?

Hi... I read this article about christmas tree tinting and it claims that the coating that is sprayed on is merely a "sunscreen" that preserves the color, and "By the time a Christmas Tree is harvested around Thanksgiving and put up, the colorant is gone."

However from my research it appears that the colorant is actually dark green and "will not wash off, wear off, or fade in sunlight"
http://www.kirkcompany.com/grower_products/colorants.htm

"Prior to delivery, our pines are sprayed with a permanent colorant "
http://www.pleasantvalleytree.com/wholesale.htm

"Some consumers may object to the artificial color, but most demand it. "
http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/~vista/html_pubs/xmas/xmas.html (Ctrl + f "colorant")


So it looks to me like many species of Christmas trees are sprayed with a colorant that actually is like paint and not like sunscreen. Can I get some experts to verify?

I'm doing laundry for the first time and I have no idea what to do. I have the money to pay for it and I have stuff like detergent, bleach, etc, but I need to know exactly what to do. All I know is I have to seperate colors, but what else? I'd love some advice in my time of need.

I have two indoor plants (not sure what they are) that I have been desperately trying to save for the past few months. They both have bugs on them that I can't seem to kill.
The bugs look like tiny ants. At first I sprayed them with soap and water - nothing happened. I them plasted them with an insect spray I bought at the garden center - still nothing.
My plants are dying quickly now and I would like very much to save them - I have had them for over six years - on patio.
I see the tiny ant like insects crawling mainly on the stem. I don't see anything on the leaves at all - however - the leaf stem and the leafs turn yellow and fall off. It's like something is sucking the lift out of them.
I hate to lose these plants since I have had them for so long. I would like to transplant them outside but am afraid that will really do them in. I live in southern Texas.
Could the bugs be coming out of the soil????

Actually is a tree that is in the neighbour's yard but it shade is messing up plants in my side. I suggested to cut off some branches but my neighbour has ignored this. Now, I am thinking of solving the problem myself by killing the tree WITHOUT him noticing I did it. Any ideas?

They are about twice the lenght as they are the height or width, and they seem to be stuck in some type of concrete or something.

I like a pale blue, but it's a little too ordinary for me. I also like a purple because it would match this quilt cover, which I like.

in pink/multicolor.
I'm open to more colors though, (except yellow and pink) if anyone has any suggestions or opinions. Thanks!

I would like for this smell to go away b/c it's funking up my clothing.
What's the best way to do this? Bleach? Baking Soda? Vinegar? Suggestions?
