My friend who was a smoker has moved and left me behind with his computer. Since he was a smoker, the keyboard and mouse reek of cigarette. If I try using the mouse, some of the odor transfers to my hand!

Any ideas to completely remove the odor?

We just bought a new house and I wanted to plant a little pumpkin patch in my yard. (Halloween is really big here). I live in East Texas, Is it too late to plant them? I dont really want time for anything other then decoration in the yard...and so the kids can maybe go pick their own pumpkin when they come trick-or-treating.

Hey all,

I've got a summer cottage I just bought, and I'm concerned about the pipes freezing in the winter while I'm not there. What's the best solution here? Should I just shut off the water to the cottage and drain down the water in the pipes?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

I have found these very very tiny little white bugs (almost tan in color) in my 2 books, crawling all over the pages, that I have stored in my garage, they are everywhere in these 2 books. I think they are biting me. What are they? What causes them? And how can I get rid of them forever? I have (in the past) rarely seen them on some of my books in my house too, but never this bad -- as the ones in my garage are right now. Do they really bite? Can I get rid of them without getting rid of the books? Please help, I hate bugs !!

Hi, I have had many garage sales over the years but not for many years lately. I am not a garage sale shopper altho I do Lot of 2nd hand shopping. I am going to be selling fabrics and brand new patterns,never cut or opened from my huge sewaholic stash :) what should I ask for the patterns and on the used clothing, if it is in good shape, I was just going to ask $1 for each item so i wouldn't have to price and what is left over I can sell next time for less. But will the lack of being able to bargain drive folks away. OK you garage salers who shop, need you advice. I live in So OR smaller type town, not much money around here.

So awhile ago, I spilled red juice on the rug. My friend got me Resolve and said it will work. I took confidence in it and used it but it left white stains all over the rug. How can I remove it? My parents are returning soon and I don't want them to see how bad it is.

I live in Florida in a zone that will grow dogwoods but my trees have yellow leaves. The soil is on the acid side and very loamy and shaded. Can some explain the yellow leaves?

Our neighbour's Ivy has grown over our fence so we trimmed it back to the top of the fence. As we live in a terrace our other neighbour to the right (not the Ivy neighbour) has complained we have killed off the Ivy. If it is our garden, surely we can cut it back to the top of the fence?

I know what a piezo is, but what is a piezoelectric plate? Where can I buy them at? Radio Shack says they have never heard of them.
I am building (novice electronics) a circuit that requires a piezoelectric plate.
Is this seperate from a piezo?
Thanks

I need some ideas because I'm not creative and busy with kids. Right now nothing is planted along the side of our house. I'd like to plant some fall bulbs that appear in the spring but I don't know what other plants can grow with them, once the spring flowers die its so ugly! I need something else to appear or always be there after they die, ya know? Hostas I thought would maybe get too big and eventually cover the spring flowers.???

Preferably plants that will grow at the base of a hedge where the cats come and go to the next door property.
