i got this 100% cotton crochet knit hoodie from pac sun... and on the care tag it says to machine wash in cold water and then dry flat... but i was wondering would putting it in the dryer damage it?
there's a very similar hoodie at forever 21:
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=sweaters&product%5Fid=2041623279&Page=1#
and for this hoodie it says to tumble dry low.
so what could happen if i put my hoodie in the dryer? would it collect those little fuzzy balls on it? or something worse?
thanks for your help. =]

They have surrounded my house and are chanting "death to the human" in low, sinister voices.

I am trying to instal a new drain line from my tub to the house's main line. I cannot unscrew the original drain from the tub - it is disconnected from the overflow, etc. The drain is a very hard metal, possibly iron - I broke my screwdriver trying to pry it up. I have a Brasscraft drain wrench that I can't get any torque on. (a little background on what I have already tried.) Any suggestions?

When I wash my clothes the collar or the part where your head goes through gets stretched very badly and it ruins my clothes. How do I stop this and is there a way to make my clothes go back to normal?

I'm renting a new apartment. The apartment is 0K. But the last person who lived here covered up all the windows with tape, and bumper stickers.

I took all the tape off, but there's a lot of stuck-on residue from it. I haven't been able to take off all of the bumper stickers, they are really stuck-on. I tried scratching with keys, but I scratched the glass.

Soap doesn't work, neither does alcohol, I tried lemon, and that didn't work either.

Is there anything that can take off that residue that make the windows look dirty?

I would like to have a Murphy bed but they are expensive and so is the kits to make your own. Just wondering if anyone has made one on their own not using a kit. I would appreciate your knowledge on how to go about it.
Thanks

If the iron wasn't invented we could all wear creased clothes and nobody would be bothered.

When I was young, my mom used to wax our hardwood floors by pouring some clear liquid (Brite?) on them and spreading it with a Swiffer-type thing. It made them VERY shiny, and she didn't have to remove it w/mineral spirits, or buff it or anything. I can't find out what kind of product this was - or if it even exists anymore. I don't want to use paste wax, or a buffer machine, just want shiny wood floors.

I started a new position today. (Yeaaaaaa me!) I am looking for some decorating tips and ideas. My style is very much like Pier One or World Market. Any suggestions on how I can make my area more inviting? It isn't particularly large and I am not one to like clutter. Also, my walls are very short. How can I make the most of what little space I have?

We currently have vinly tile in our tiny kitchen. We want to upgrade but want something that looks nice and is easy to install. What would you recommend (not wood)? Also, would we have to take up the vinyl floor tiles or install on top of it?

I have several concord grape vines and a few other kinds that I planted last year. I put up wire and pole supports for them and now they are about 3 feet tall. I saw a basic illustration on how to trim the canes back to about 4 main stems. This is what confuses me- if grapes won't grow on old wood, do I cut off the canes that my grapes grow on next year when they are finished and wait for a new cane to grow out and replace it? How many buds should ther be on the whole plant? If I prune too much or too little, will the grapes still grow?
Finally- since we had such a drought this year and the grapes were very dry, if I want them healthy nexy year, should I fertilize them? With what?
thank you,
I'm new to this but I love gardening.
