Im sure a few of you know what Im talking about.

On a bookshelf in the library they have those things that keep the book from toppling over if there is an empty space on one side or the other. It just holds it up by tucking under the books, along with a wall to hold them up.

I'd like to search ebay, but cant think of the name. I've tried searching for "bookshelf stops" and "bookshelf holder" and cant find them. I'd feel kind of foolish calling up Barnes & Noble or the Library just to ask.

Any ideas?

Heres my situation...Just bought an 8 year old house a few months ago,, and I noticed that my water..in my toilet over a few weeks leaves a red ring(that does scrub off). I also noticed that my rain showerheads around the water jets is beginning to leave a red ring on the individual tips... My "good quality" stainless steel also rusts in the dishwasher.. I tried a different detergent and bought different silverware and same problem..Can anyone help..Is it possibly a chemical in my township water supply or bacteria of some form..Never heard of this...Any knowledge would be great..
Thanks
Brian

I am wondering about fertilizer and if they require full sunlight or shade. Also how much watering. They were looking kind of bad for a day or 2 after I worked long hours away from home and forgot to water them. They were dried out...So, I gave them a good bit of water yesterday and they already look better. I re potted them this morning in bigger pots.
Now how do I keep them pretty and blooiming?

I am running baqua spa in my hot tub and it smells like mold or mildew. We have replaced the filter and emptied and refilled the tub. Within a week or two it begins to smell. What can we do? When you get out of the tub the smell says on our bodies. The water is clear and looks fine but has a strong odor.

I need an easy home remedy on how to fix this. You can see the ring that the cup left. Funiture polish makes it look great, until it dries and then you see the ring again...

I think the look of stainless steel appliances makes a kitchen look like a garage or some industrial kitchen. I also find that granite looks like puke.

Am I the only person in the world who thinks this fad is going to be by the wayside like the avocado green, harvest gold and burnt sienna appliances of the 70s?

One day I was watching TV and the TV just cut off. The TV and the cable box and 2 lamps that are in the living room also. All except the Tv and the cable box are plugged up in seperate plugs and sockets. Nothing else went off in the house and i went and reset the breaker and it never came back on. I went and replaced the plugs and still nothing. What could be wrong and what can i do about it. And last week i had some cable installed and i have never had this problem before. Is there hope without a electrican?
