We bought our house 20 years ago. At that time the ceilings were spackled and painted with oil paint. Now the ceilings of almost every room are showing cracks. Why is this, and how can it be repaired.

Safety of having Plain (no color but see through) and tinted (gray, black, light green, azurite color but see through) glass?

With plain colorless glass, is it true that in daylinght people inside the house can see outside but from outside you can't see much what is going on inside the house ? And in the night time, people from outside can see whats going on inside but people from inside cant see much whats going on outside? So, for a plain glass, the source of light location makes the difference?

Is it the reverse for 'tinted grey glass' ?

I am trying to start planting several cherry bushes, blueberrys, and vegitables. I want to be able to save my seeds and replant them, but I dont' know how to make sure the plants I'm buying are not hybrid so that I can do that. I noticed in some of the plant catalogs the description states Hybrid. Is there a law that hybrid plants have to be stated in the description. Thanks jada

I have got an ink cartridge firmly stuck in the barrel of my pen. This is a list of things which have not worked.
1. Letting out the ink to reduce the size.
2. Hooking it out with a hairpin
3. Scratching it out with scissors
4. Dissolving it in tartaric acid
5. Melting it with a smouldering matchstick
6.Sucking it out with the hoover

Any other ideas?

I have a garbage disposal that don't work. I think the motor is burnt out. I was wondering if anyone knew how hard it was to just take the disposal out and replace it with regular pipe. Is this something that I could do myself or would I have to hire a plumber. Any advice would be a big help. Thanks in advance to all who will take time to pass their advice on.
