I filled the glass with 1/3 water and put it into the microwave for nearly 2 minute. It was hot when I removed it from the microwave, so I transfer the liquid into another cup. Right then I turned on luke warm water from my sink, about to rinse the glass tumbler. The moment I placed the glass tumbler under the running water it cracked....I should have known better than to place a hot material under luke warm running water.. Other than the acciddent, can this mean anything else? Will there be any bad luck?...

I live alone and I want to save money, so I've been repairing stuff around my home. Up until recently, I had never owned or used a hammer, but now I just use the internet as my guide and buy all of my supplies at the local hardware store.

When I mentioned I wanted to install the light, my friends insisted I not try it. Granted they say that about everything, including hammering nails and painting. In their universe, girls shouldn't do little home repairs because they'll get hurt. If I bought all the tools listed on the site, and turned off the power... Is there this huge risk that I'll still get electrocuted? Should I just not attempt stuff that deals with wiring?

I have a potted asiatic lily that just finished for the season. What is the best way to care for this until Spring? Do I keep it slightly moistened? Put it in the garage and let it dry? Dig up the bulbs and put them into a brown paper bag?

The shower has been running since April and was made worse when one of the maintenance men came by past Saturday to "fix" it. Said was out dated, put back together (half-way as it is leaking EVERYWHERE!), & I have not seen nor heard from anyone no matter who I call since then. What can I do??? Isn't there a "help" line or something? Thanks for your time looking at my question.

our daughters room. The contractors who came, they don't want to work in the rain. ( their town got rain but here we didn't)they didn't work last weekend, and they didn't work Monday ( I guess becuase of the holiday) Then yesterday one of them got sick and had to go to the hosp... I'm thinking if they don't come back by Monday I will (maybe) call and yell at them. The one that is still healthy could hire someone, right? I mean its Cold in the morning and I can't run the heat with so many open spaces...
On the other hand, I have a very high level of anxiety which is being made worse for every day its not done..
What do you think?

I have seen websites building them with stones dug into the ground...but I am wanting something more temporary. Is there a big metal, preferably copper, disk (think contact lens shape) I can buy? Then I can use stones to sturdy it, so my ground doesn't get ruined and it can be easily moved? Is this something I could find? Thanks!

I've always been of the school of thought that the paper should exit the roll on the side farthest from the wall, as this seems to provide the user with the easiest access, and in my experience most hotels and other establishments seem to agree with this philosophy. My girlfriend however, insists on putting the roll with the loose sheets hanging (frustratingly) adjacent to the wall, making access (in my opinion) more awkward. She says that she puts the roll on completely randomly but as it's always the same (wrong) way round I can only presume she has some twisted reasoning. She isn't even from the southern hemisphere so this can't explain it either. Who is right??

I have always, always wondered what the curly soil on the lawn was. By soil mean it looks like its been piped through something and its all coiled together on top of the grass. Someone once told me it had something to do with worms. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
