Ok.

So I got a ring, and it's really expensive, and stuff, so I'm kinda worried about this

But I used to get it on and off by using soap, and water, and now a little bit got under the crystal, and the places with soap under the crystal is turning gray, and it's making it look bad

Is there anyway I can get the soap or the water out from under the crystal?

Oh, if you need a picture, tell me =D

I used my gas stoves oven, And after i was done it would not turn off i had to turn off the main gas line for it to turn off. I thought the knob was stripped, so i used pliers turn it , But i got the same results. Also why doesn't the pilot turn off if the gas is off.

Rescue Rooter cleaned up my sewer drain last week (I know nothing about sewers, so I just picked first company to do the job...).

During the cleaning (which cost me whooping $254 for one hour of work!), guy mentioned to me that I might have broken sewer pipe under my driveway (which might be true - I also suspect that because of some other factors). He recommends me to run video camera into my pipe to see what is in there.

I was wondering if anyone knows some other company that does it as well? - I am looking for someone who does video for free? - I most likely will have same guy who does video do the repairs....

I also need to have my sewers cleaned with "jet water" (whatever that means - I understand they run water down the pipe really fast...).

House is in 94546 zip code.

I have a bathroom countertop that is very nice. the only problem is someone put a horrible color laminate for the edging. Can I do a bullnose tile over it and will I have to add any wood to it first or just go right over it. Im also doing tile backsplash

Should I have left my Gourd plant in? It's September. The blooms just have developed little gourds. But it's getting bitter cold at night and mornings. Live iN Northern Utah. So I just pulled the plant out. And was mad it myself as I saw these little gourds. It was fun so watching it grow.
What's a better way for such a vigorous vine to plant? On a trellie or against a fence? For next year so I know better. Thanks.

Haven't used the heat of course all summer but today was a bit chilly and I decided to turn on the heat. Well, after it was on for like 5 minutes I started smelling this nasty smell not like gas or anything alarming like that...but almost like ammonia. I moved into this house in February and had the heater on then and I remember smelling something then too....Is there something I can do to clean out the vents?

Hello. I got caught up in Roses several months ago and was able to purchase a Striped Rose from the previous 'Uncommon Rose' co. I am having a bit of trouble getting him going though. This was several months ago, i would hazard to say around April or March. I acquired several other general themed roses(Tropicana, Mirandy....) locally and they are doing well. The Painter's Palette I purchased was around 6" high with tiny twiggy branches about half the width of a pencil and he is still around the same. I lightly fertilize him (about 1teaspoon rose fert. every 1 1/2 to 2 months) and water well. He gets full sun but at first we only gave him a little more than half day sun (I was afraid his soil would get too hot here in Texas). I treated with Ortho Spray for Roses (Fungacide, and Insecticide) every 2-4 weeks.He is potted in a lg. gal container. He sprouts several leaves, holds them for a while then they get sick and drop away. Each time I am sure he will not make a return, he does.ThankU

anyone stepped up and created some non-stick cookware that doesn't release TFE's or other harmful chemicals at higher temperatures? I'm getting a little tired of using stainless steel and non-stick cooking spray.

Hi...I've got some strange Alliums, with nearly purplish black florets and smelly leaves!...They send up leaves in fall and Each flower bulb produces dozens of Yellow, lemon-pip-like offsets and dies after... How can I fatten the bulblets for next season's bloom? What potting mixture/fertilizing plan do you suggest for best bulblet growth?...

Actually, I've already planted it. (tee hee) I don't have much gardening experience- so I wonder, is it okay? It would be surrounded by flowers, such as lantana perrenials. impatiens, Alyssum, Begonia- pretty much most of the annuals. Is there anything I shouldn't be planting by the tree?? Thanks a lot!!
