and these sheets:

I would like to have four colors:
light pink, light brown, dark pink, and dark brown

What do you think about having one wall with big squares with the four colors in random patterns and then painting the other four walls each of the colors?

Any other ideas please!!

I have a couple pillows that need cleaning. 2 are fru fru fancy bed pillows-- but they feel like they're probably just cotton stuffing inside. And the third is a posturpedic pillow. How do you wash these? In the washer? One at a time? I'd rather not ruin any of them! Thanks :D

I'm looking for ideas to lower my electricity bill. I live in So CAL and its extremely hot.

I live in a 2 story home that is about 2500 sq ft and I we a pool. We have 7 in the household (5 teenagers). In the summer my electric bill runs about $630 to $710.

My upstairs room never really completely cools so I purchased a 12,000 BTU portable A/C, which I'm hoping will be less expensive than running my A/C. Any thoughts on this being cheaper?

Also, is it less expensive to run things outside of the peak hrs of (2pm-6pm) or is it the same cost?

Should I unplug items that aren't running, coffee pot, computer, curling iron, toaster, etc. when not in use or does it matter since it isn't turned on?

Thanks for your feedback, I did look through past questions for history but didn't quite answer all my questions.

LOOK FORWARD TO REPLIES. :)

the unit is in excellent working condition and has many accessories. My husband is disabled and no longer uses it, so it is for sale. I have no idea what he paid for it or what the value may be in today's market. Most of the accessories were added after he purchased it.

I am wanting to buy a small indoor plant to have in my room but I'm not sure what to buy. I want something that looks good and is easy to care for. I live in Las Vegas, NV so that might affect what suggestions you give me. I would like something different then the average indoor plants as in another place in my apartment I have a small Moneytree. Would appreciate any advice. Would a Sago Palm be good?

I have carpet and hardwood floor damage. Water also leaked into the ground AC vents (from main drain, toilet, shower,etc..). It stinks and we also had to shut the AC off to remove the AC coil to remove the water from the vents(ducts). Everything is polluted. Are we entitled to have them put us in a hotel because of the air pollution and heat without having the AC? Expense some of our meals due to kitchen not being available to cook? What are some other things that we might be entitled to as policy owners.

my brother visited me last weekend. and when he backed up, he found out that his car's brake fluid's gone. so he called AAA to get it towed. but when AAA guy was towing his car, he crashed into one of the landload's property. the AAA told me that they;ll get it fixed, but the landload tells me that it's my brother's fault cause he parked his car there. (i think that's a bull sh*t.) my landload and AAA talked to each other, but my landload's being very picky, AAA is so mad at her for being a b*tch. now, she want ME to pay the fee to get it fixed, which is like $600. what should i do??

My weeping willow tree of about 5 years seems to be dying, the leaves are drying (not to lack of rain!!), but there is totally different leaves growing through it, which are coming off the main trunk. Do I cut these aliens off at the main trunk or leave them? MANY THANKS

I would like a colour that is warm and light so that it is a nice place to be in, especially in winter. The living room is open plan with the kitchen next to it. I plan to put down Ikea laminate floor in the living room which is light coloured (birch stave effect.) The kitchen cupboards are oak (dark-coloured) and the walls of the kitchen and hallway are beige. The kitchen table and chairs are a light-coloured wood with green legs. (Looks better than they sound.) I am thinking of buying a light green sofa. So I guess it all has to match. I am thinking a yellow or ochre but it could all go horribly wrong. I may play safe and go with beige.... What do you think?

My church is replacing the hardwood chips under the playground and wants to use the rubber tire mulch. We can't seem to find anyone here in town who uses it, so we don't know if people who have it like it. Does anyone out there have the rubber tire mulch where kids play? Does it hold up to it? Do the kids like it better? How many inches deep is yours?

This would help out a lot for our church. Thank you.
