Most Ikea furniture has these round nuts that fit into pre-cut holes used to attach and bolt on adjacent boards etc. I was looking for a generic name for these "embedded nuts" so I could use it for a DIY stand I was trying to set up.

Thanks!

Out of Procter and Gamble laundry detergents which one do you use and why?
The options are bounce,tide, cheer, downy, dreft, era, gain, ivory, and febreeze. And also do u use any of their matching products such as dryer sheets and fabric softner?
I am conducting a Tarket Marketing and Product Positioning Analysis..its for principles of marketing..so anyones input will be very helpful as to what and why u use that particular product.

... for microorganisms and worms?

I've found highly conflicting (academic, university) online articles regarding this.

Thank you.

we are going to get a fence because we are planning to get a dog very soon. In our area, chain link seems to be standard and our next door neighbor has chain link along the edge of their yard that runs along our side of the yard. My question is - we have gotten an estimate for installing a fence for our yard that would use the side of the fence that our neighbor already has so that we actually only need to get the fencing along 2 sides of our yard. Is this standard for most people to do? Or, do we need to add our own side of the fence that runs parallel to the neighbor? Do we need to ask the neighbor if we can "piggy back" off of their one side?

I'm redoing the landscaping on each side of my house (about 3 feet wide - runs the length of the house). One side gets full son, the other side is predominantly shady. Any ideas for flowering perennials that do well in the shade (besides hostas)? Also, on the sun side of the house I'm doing day lillies and a blue flowering ground cover (forget the name). Any suggestions for some kind of flowering bush to put at the corner of the house? Something that doesn't get too big, and I don't care if it's evergreen or not. Maybe azalea or something?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking around to find some kind of flower/plant to grow. I live in south Texas, so I need something that can handle the heat and humidity down here. I can keep it inside or out, in a hanging pot, or left on the porch, in the sun or in the shade. I'm open to anything really. So, what are your favorites????

I will tell you what I have . I have a ton of great used clothing, and about 75% infants thru size 14, both sexes. I have videos, 75% are kids, used VHS, I have books, some brand new but only $1, 75% kids again. I have Christian books. I am actually selling everything for $1 but I'm not going to put that in the ad as I think it will deter the bargain hunters, but the stuff I have is great and I mean like Nike, disney and great stuff. my kids are grown and gone and I am emptying out the house. So a ton must go. Any suggestions on how to pull them in with the ad. I have done many, and know about setting up signs and all but I don't buy/shop garage sales so I don't know what to say to grab their attention best ? Heh you garage sale aholics, want to write an ad or share what catches your eye ? Ad goes in Wed., 9-12 thanks so much from a person who desperately need income. WEndy

I have an outside tank (new in 2002) which was installed by a sub-contractor for my oil company. They put in two 24x24 patio blocks on top of the earth then installed the new oil tank. I have noticed that at the end where the oil comes to the furnace is slanted into the ground about 4 inches. We have had it checked by the oil delivery person who told us that we need not worry about it. Today we had a professional come in to fix our propane fireplace line and he looked at the tank (which has nothing to do with the furnace) and told us that he would have it fixed because if it goes down anymore, it could really create a problem. The tank may fall. Any help in giving me the right answer of what has to be done. We have put in a call to the oil company and they are suppose to get back to me by phone today. I am quite concerned because we are talking quite a few gallons of oil leaning to one side of the tank.

I can only burn my pillar candles a few times, then the wicks are sitting down in little holes in the wax and are difficult to light. If I can get them lit, they go out quickly as the wax melts onto them. How can I burn the rest of the candle??

Because my room has a sliding door to the outside, and i leave it open pretty much all the time! My mom doesn't like me to, but if I don't it gets pretty hot and I can't really sleep! But while it's open bugs and who knows what else gets in! (no screen!) What should I do?
