Home & Garden - 30 October 2007

I really have tried to get the stain out and I can't get it out! It's a red dress with a white apron atatched to the front and the stain is on the white part! I have tried some stain remover and dish soap and regular laundry soap and it's in for it's 5th wash this week right now! I know NOT to dry it so I haven't done that I've just been washing it and the stain will not even fade! Please some one help my 21st birthday/costume party is this weekend and I really don't think I have enough time to order another costume from online!

I have a fear of mice and i don't want to touch it, either. Is there a way i can trap it without feeding it poison? If i catch it, i just want to let it loose outside.

We recently moved to an area where we can't burn leaves, and my wife & I both miss that smell. Would like to find a candle that smells like it to take us back. Anyone know of where we could buy a candle with that smell?

I'm a student and at school we all use ARSUPER Shears by ARS Corporation which are really great, but I'm looking to replace them with new ones of the same kind or a different brand.

But before I spend a lot of money I'd like some advice. I'm considering Gingher Shears, as I really like the quality of my small embroidery ones and can only imagine they're equally as good?

If anyone can recommend me brands/types, or just tell me which is best please do so. Unfortunately I'm not looking for those generic plastic ones that they sell for less than 10-15 bucks. I'm willing to spend up to 60 for amazing scissors.

Right now there is nothing but cabinetry. We gutted the kitchen from top to bottom. We want to lay glass tile for the countertop and backsplash but everywhere I read says glass tiles lay best on concrete. How do I build the base and lay concrete for the countertops? What supplies are needed? And is it true, I NEED concrete in order to lay the tiles or are there options that will last just as long?

Well, these horrible creatures have been eating the leaves and leaving number of holes in them. It seems like I have no chance at eradicating them.

Pictures are at the end, but here's a quick overview of their description. They're about a centimeter long. It uses the leaves that it chews to use as camouflage. I opened one up and it looks like a caterpillar. Then again all insect larvae look like that, but I haven't seen it transform into anything.

That's what it'll cost me to buy a new washer and dryer. Almost every time I wash my clothes and my towels when dry the towels will have a horrible moldy like smell. Yes, I wash and put them in the dryer right away. The clothes have never just sat in the washer or dryer, It's not the detergant. It's driving me crazy. I was thinking we might have to drain the hot water tank. But my husband says it would be obvious if the colour was bad or it would smell. We have a major construction site down the road. I thought maybe it's a water problem. If you have any ideas I would appreciate knowing them.

Just wondering cuz wehen you go to the Depot, there stores are clena but their personnel is unattentive.

Then when you go to Lowes the stores arent as "pretty" but I seem to think they are more professionally knowledgable than Depot.

Just wondering?????
