We had a moldy piece of fruit in the garbage and a bunch of fruit flies came. Now they won't go away, someone told us to spray windex on them, but they are still everywhere. Any advice on how to get rid of them?

I am moving in less than 30 days...I have over 10 very stable rose bushes in my back yard and want to keep them and have them when i move...How long can they stay in pots indoors? and i live in indiana where it is quite cold, but the ground is not frozen.
since they are dormant, and hearty, will they survive being indoors until Spring when i clear the NEW patio and replant...
someone please advise...i have had these bushes for over 10 years,and don't want to leave them behind....
i can't come back and get them, because i rented...so that option is out..

What is the best way to texture drywall. I do not have a sprayer. I want it kind of to look like stucco or something to that nature. Not a smooth wall, but looks good. I am trying to figure out a good way to texture the walls.

We have a small bathroom, and I am thinking about putting a chair rail (horizontally of course, in the middle area of wall, like normal ones) in the bathroom. Would this make it appear larger?

This is a plant with round, variegated leaves. The plant is about 6"-8" tall, and has a long spike of tiny bunched pink flowers arching over the top. I saw this plant in a Brooklyn garden last week and it seemed to be very happy in shade. What could this be?

i got this new cotton sweater that i REALLY love its one of those knit kinds of sweaters. I LOVE it and even tho its only two days my sister (who's older than me, and FATTER) borrowed it (i didnt want her to, but my dad made me) and she stretched it out kinda. So I was hoping I could shrink it back... but would it then shrink TOO much? how much does cotton shrink in the wash?

We moved to this house in June, and now we're starting to have an interest in starting a fire in the fireplace.

We discovered last night that the gas key is REALLY hard to turn; so hard that we couldn't even turn it. It had two split logs (purchased from the grocery store), and we shoved newspaper all around them. We had a great draft going, and...nothing. We tried for 2 hours and the logs never caught any fire.

We don't have any lighter fluid, gas or WD40.

Any ideas?
