I need some help. I would like to get my house "hostable" for the holidays, but my husband and I both work full time jobs - I travel 45 to 50 minutes one way to work every day - my supervisor thinks that we are her "servants" and that we are supposed to work more that 40 hours a week - and not be paid overtime -oh, excuse me I'm ranting about something else. Anyway, back to the subject at hand - I need TIPS and good ideas for quick housecleaning and organizing so I can get my house in shape without staying up all night. Thanks in advance for all of your wonderful suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Central Florida, so it is hot and humid most of the year. I am trying to figure out what is best to use for my landscaping. I like the way red lava rock looks best, but am also ok with rocks of mixed colors (not the plain white kind). I dislike the cedar/cypress/etc mulchs the most, but will use what's best. Also, I am looking for something that is easy to keep cleaned up when the leaves start falling. I have mulch now and its hard to use the blower or rake. In summary, I want something easy to upkeep, good for the plants, keep bugs at bay (as much as possible). Any suggestions?

My husband wears suits everyday and his dress shirts have faint stains around the collar. What's the best pre-treatment product I can use before I wash them or take them to the cleaners?

They were bees that nested in the ground in a Michigan suburb, and one day I found them all dug up. No one in my family dug them up, and we think an animal might have done this, but we don't know what kind of animal or why. What really happened?

I have a whole bunch of clothes I stuck in garbage bags since we're staying in the same city. It's just overwhelming -- I have a bunch of janky hangers, pants and shirts my husband no longer likes/fits, summery type stuff, etc. etc. It's just overwhelming. Where do I start? Should I just buy all new hangers so they all match and hang the same? Luckily in our new place, there are 4 walk-in closets. I don't want things scattered, yet I don't want to keep clothes we're not going to wear anytime soon.

Also, I have boxes of Christmas cards dating back as early as 1995. I'm not much of a packrat, but what to do with Christmas cards/old pen pal letters from the 90s? The last thing I want to do is add clutter to our brand new home.

Not to mention, I have pictures dating back from 2002 that need to be in albums! What's a quick way to organize these and stick them in?

Thanks!!!

The previous owners had pets and when our daughter broke a container holding about 1 1/2 gallons of water the drying water is making our house smell horribly musty and like cat urine. Any advice to dry it quick and get that horrible smell out??? Plus, we're having guests over on Saturday!! Thanks!

I recently bought some shirts and a jacket and dont like the size of it. Is it possible for my local dry cleaner to make the shirt and jacket shorter so it looks better and will fit on me? If so how much does it usually cost and if dry cleaners dont do it is there any place I can go to to alter the size of the clothes? thanks!

I just spilled a large cup of red wine all over my new carpet!!!

oh!!! it makes me so sick!!!

I got immediately out a few towels wet with liquid laundry soap detergent on them and started rubbing.

After around an hour of rubbing the death out of my carpet it is barely visible at all, but you can maybe still see it if you really really look at it. (the carpet is a very light colour). I am also worried about a smell that maybe there now. I dont smell it really now, but am afraid i might later on.

I was wanting to know if I went to rent one of those carpet cleaners , if after using that , if it will be like it was before I spilt the red wine?

I was planning on doing that anyway in a couple of months from now.

What do you recommend or suggest or think?

thanks for your answers!!

More commonly, they show up before it rains or in hot and humid weather. They have many legs. If I take out half their body, the remain half still moves.

Is it o.k. to put a wood burning stove into a fireplace and just open the flue each time you use it. I'm looking to use wood this year instead of Propane. The propane costs me a fortune and the fireplace just doesn't heat at all.
Thanks
