Home & Garden - 7 October 2007

I have a white Calvin Klein bra from the "365" collection. It's slightly a push-up bra which means it's thicker in the actual cup part of it, and it has under-wires. I try to keep it as clean as I can but it is white afterall, so it get's dirty, especially along the straps and edges etc. The bra is made of 86% Nylon and 14% elastane (which is some kind of elastic im guessing?) and the label says "exclusive of elastic and decoration" beneath the above two fabrics. I have no idea what that means but it might not be relevant. I wanted to know if it was ok to soak the bra in Oxi-Clean solution? and if so, are there any pre-cautions I should take?

I have Mohawk flooring (300 sq. ft.) that cost 1200.00 normally. I am selling it for 475.00 on Ebay and Craigslist. It is Brazillian Cherrywood and beautiful. Does anyone know a market that I could advertise in for free to sell it? My husband was really upset when I brought this home from a charity auction but the guy there told me it would cover most of our home as far as kitchen and living room, but he was wrong.

I have a big planter and I change what I plant in there from year to year. A couple of years ago I had petunias. This summer I put marigolds and lantana in it. I do reuse the same soil but I make sure to fertilize it.

Now, this late in summer, I have petunias coming up -- a lot of them! I'm not surprised that some seeds survived, but why are they only coming up now, not earlier in the summer?

I'm just curious...

Everytime this one dude comes over to my place I find hairs in my food and in my cooking utensils. How the F&$K can I stop this from happening? Because of things that happened in my childhood I have a hangup of taking forks out from the silverware drawer and holding them all up to the light to make sure there are no pieces of food/matter in between the tines, then I pick the cleanest looking one. I have lunch everyday about 1:00 and so as I was fixing my lunch I opened the silverware drawer and took the forks out to inspect them and behold at the bottom of the tray there is about 3 hairs laying there. I freaked.
I realize there are people out there who have bigger problems than this.
I don't, however. All I want is a simple piece of advice or maybe a few tips and my problems will be over. Tanx

I have an addition built onto the first story of my house which has a flat roof. I would like to put a doorway in the second story of my house and change the flat roof to a balcony/patio off of the 2nd story master bedroom. How difficult would this be and what procedure should I take to get it done? I would really like to do this project without hiring a contractor.
