I live in a fairly large two story apartment (meaning my apartment is two stories, not that the building has two stories). I typically work from about noon until well after dark 5-6 days a week. Would it be more efficient to keep my a/c running 24/7 with the thermostat set to about 80. Or is it more efficient to turn on the a/c when I get home?

Right now I don't have a programmable thermostat that I could set to come on an hour or so before I get home.

Also, the lower level of my apartment gets pretty good shade virtually all day but the upstairs, where I sleep pretty much gets direct sun almost all day long.

Have you ever lied to a family member so they want come over your house due to the fact of them destroying your property. Example. You just purchased a new living room set, you know what type of family and friends you have and, they would'nt be happy at the fact that you have some new furniture for you crib. Just happens they stop by and they spilled something on your couch.

How do I get rid of the endless bombardment of useless e-mails asking me how to enhance my manhood??
I am not a porn star, but I also don't have the desire to enhance my manhood.
I do just fine with what God gave me.
Bottom line is that I want to totally block these e-mails that offer me a larger manhood, any ideas??
No wise cracks please!!!

How do I distress cotton shirts to make them look vintage? (I'm not talking about the print, but the cloth itself.) I want to achieve that "thin, faded vintage tee" look. Do I bleach, sandpaper, etc.? I wanna start designing my own shirts. Thanks!

I live in NJ, so everything costs more...but just a general price would be helpful.

Hey all,

I have a lawn mower that when i pull the string to start it, it seems to not budge and be stuck. What's funny is that after a while it seemed like it was going to loosen a bit but became quickly hard to pull again.

Anyone know why it's doing this? I checked the blade and there is nothing underneath that is causing it to not turn.

Also, i have plenty of oil in the mower.

My guess is that something is wrong with the coil, or string is messed up inside that round area where it is.....

The unit starts blowing not so cool air because the thermostat is telling the unit that is cool enough in the room. Just wait about 10 minutes and it will blow cold again. I have it set to max cool and the room is not cool enough. I am wondering if I can disable it. Thermostats work by just two wires making contact and completing the circuit. I am just wondering if I can cut the wire about six inches above the thermostat. There should be two wires which I would be able to permanantly connect thus disabling the thermostat and keeping the unit going at max cool. Is this safe? Possible? This unit is a Haier
window AC, one of their cheaper models.

I bought a floor coating for my garage (Ucoat-it). As part of cleaning the floor, the instructions said to mix muriatic acid and water to clean the concrete. I cannot find this anywhere. the instructions also say not to use a concrete etch, which is what people keep telling me to use. Any ideas? Know of a good substitute?

Please don't laugh. This must sound silly, but I have no experience as a farmer and what I have been able to find on the internet makes no sense to me.

I have some cabbage and kale growing on the premises.
I've read that I can harvest the cabbage by taking the middle and leaving some of the leaves around the edge so that new little cabbages will grow later on in the season, is that true?

and I should harvest the outer leaves of the kale...?

What about after the season...?

Do I just leave the roots in the ground?

Will they grow back, or do I need to put seeds in the ground each year?

I don't understand this business about getting more cabbages from the same root after picking the head.

How can I tell if a cabbage or kale produce seeds? I've eaten plenty of them before and never found any seeds.

Do you have to start them indoors like tomatoes?

Thanks to all serious answers! Let me know if you need more details!

I need to know a way to keep bugs and bees off grapevines. Last year the only way to pick them way to go early in the morning because they swarmed so bad. I tried a bee trap with soda and soap, it worked but there were still alot after it was filled. Also how to keep spiders and ants off the grapes, if there is a way at all.

My sunflower plants are doing beautifully and are almost ready to flower. They have had no pest problems until the past week. Something is chewing on the stems now. They have already killed one plant and disfigured a second (it is sort of growing sideways along the ground now.) I am wondering what could be eating them and how to deal with this naturally.
Thanks!! (BTW we have tons of chipmunks but I have not seen any at the plants, and did not see any slime trails indicating slugs. I put hotsauce on the stems tonight, hope it does not hurt the plants.)
