My dog has killed some of the plants in my backyard - what would be good to replace them with? I'm particularly interested in flowering plants, if that's possible.

I woke up with a dozey of a sinus headache this morning and I wondered why since nothing is blooming to upset my hayfever. Then I looked up. I couldn't remember when I had last cleaned my ceiling fan. I turned it off...ewwwww! No wonder my sinus' are going nuts! So for those of you who have ceiling fans that have been turned on all summer turn them off. Now look at all the dust that the fan has been circulateing in the air....and into your lungs!
If you can reach them with a ladder then you can clean them this way: Since most fans are wood use some Murphy Oil Soap in a bucket of water, use a clean damp rag and just wipe them down.
I'm not waking up tomorrow with a headache!

My mom picked this piece of a bush from this guys yard (She actually went up to his door and he told her he didnt mind. My mom is silly! But the guy didn't know what it was called because that is his wifes domain and she wasn't home.) It's got these yellow leaves about 2 inches long or so and the stems are red. Really red around the leaf area. I searched the web but didn't have much luck. I'm going to try and post a picture. Hopefully it works.

My door was damaged when on of the rollers jammed and caused the drive to rip the metal sheet where the chain attaches to the door away from the rest of the door. The hinge is still intact, its just the top 2 rivets were ripped away from the door. The metal on the door and the part that pulled off is pretty mangled and I dont think reattaching it with a new set of rivets is an option unless I replace the whole top section of the door.

Since the door is an insulated kind, there is a bunch of torn up insulating foam in the space where the metal ripped away. Is there some kind of adhesive that I could use in there? Am i better off trying to rig up some hardware? The metal is pretty bent and mangle...

Help!! I can't sit on my porch without being eaten alive. What kind of treatment can I put on my grass to help keep the bugs and worms from attacking me. Please don't say contact the pest control people. They already spray once a month. But, they usually don't spray the yard. So they say. The man acted as if I were nuts when I asked him to spray the yard. He sprayed 2 ft. from the porch. But, after about 2 days the bugs swarm me especially, during the evening.
