I have a chain-link fence behind my house and I want to cover it up with ivy. However, it's been difficult looking for a species of ivy that clings onto the chain-link fence. Anyone know of a species that can do just that?

Some info states that a safe alternative to using bleach in your laundry is using vinegar. I have really dirty laundry (kids, dogs, etc.) Will vinegar really get things clean (i.e.kill bacteria) as well as bleach does?

I brought a mirror from home depot today, I brought these two mirror mounting double sided tapes as one of the sales person told me, and mounted the mirror on my wall as the instruction, but after 2 hours the mirror fell off the wall and shattered. and I still return the mirror back to home depot? For some reason I felt like I'm not responsible for this incident.

Thank you for your help

My uncle mistakenly got the Kilz oil based primer, and they used it on their water based walls (bedroom). The room was painted about 10 years ago.. anywho, they primed it about 2 weeks ago, and it doesn't seem to be peeling or anything. Is it ok to now use water based paint on top of the oil based primer? The oil primer literally fills the house with an awful, nauseating stench.

I use dryer sheets everytime I put the towels in the dryer. I read online to try to wash towels with baking soda...didn't work!! I also read online to wash my towels with vinegar...that didn't work either!! Anybody have any other suggestions??? My towels always smell clean when they come out of the dryer but they start to stink again when they get wet.

I primarly use a knife for fresh produce and occasionally meat. So basic as can be...nothing fancy, therefore i'd hate to invest in a cutlery set. I'm just looking for one excellent knife- but i get confused when i look thru sites and stores because they are all sorts of shapes, sizes, have all sorts of names...and i am clueless what I'm actually looking for. What is type of knife should i get?
