I have lots of slugs in my garden, but I was interested in the news the other day when it said there are 15, billion, the question I am asking has anybody really counted them, if so nobody came in to my back garden to check mine, I counted them to day and there were 22, so maybe it is 15 billion and 22 unless you know different

Would he be okay if you made the bedroom soft pink and yellow? Seriously, my husband told me a while back when we moved in our house that I can decorate however I wanted to so he should be okay with that then right?

I really want to burn sweetly scented candles and oils in my apartment to make it smell nice. However, we are having a slight roach problem (partially due to being on the first floor of the building), and I was wondering what charecteristic of food attracts cockroaches. For example, would the sweet scent of my candles lead the cockroaches to believe that there is food (i.e. sweets) where I am really burning the candles/oils. We have put traps out, and are planning on putting out tablets, but I would really like the reassurance that my using candles will not attract more roaches. Thanks!

In my headset, the two wires that connect to the speakers ripped out by accident, and was wondering if it was okay to glue gun the two wires back to their points?

Is there any danger behind this?

I'm thirteen and I cannot seem to get my lazy butt to pick it up. There's clothes everywhere. After I use something, I throw it on the floor. There's Azumanga Daioh Mangas in one corner, shoes in another and clothes all over. If I actually knew how to plan it out in steps, that would help. And my the top of my dresser is a mess. My desk is okay, and My nightstand doesn't need much, but the room is a disaster. I need help. I want to be able to have friends over and not be embabrassed or anything. I'd also like my parent's to stop reffering it to a tornado. Help?
