As far as I remembered you were not supposed to sleep on electric blankets but my friend says he sleeps on his every night.

Has something changed about them or is my friend in mortal danger?

is there a size limit to being able to squish roaches? I am fairly short 5'0 and roaches don't die when i stomp them, they just get injured sometimes and run away. Are they killable? I just moved to a place that is run by roaches so advice would help.

There are white things, for lack of a better term on them. They look like pods, or little shells, they are of a soft nature, as in they collapse with a little bit of pressure. Any ideas as to what it may be?

I have three tools: Jimmy, age 9, good at PE and lunch in school, my husband Terry, 43, good for nothing except after the annual Christmas party when he’s good for 8 minutes, and Jenny, age 16, going on 23, good at doing her hair for 2 hours prior to going to school in the morning.

They are all tools, which is best to use in eradicating weeds from my tulip bed?

I was waxing in the bathroom and got some wax on the tile floor. The box says that it's a Brazilian formula. I can't get any of it off. I checked up online and it says that it might contain beeswax so how do you remove beeswax off of tile? I also have some on my skin and in my nails that I can't get off. Any suggestions?

If so:
What did you think? Is it good quality?
Do you know if the seeds contain anysort of genetic modifications or pesticides?
Is it a hassle to have to order the seeds all the time?
Can I plant my own seeds?
Do I have to buy it online or is it available in stores?

Any information would be great! Thank you

Hi all,
I am going to replacing my hot water system with Buderus GB142 boiler.
I have met 5 contractors. 3 of them suggest me that to get one 135,000 BTU to 140,000 BTU (input) boiler. One of them suggests me to get 84,800 BTU after performed calculations according to ACCA Manual J. One of them suggest that "Typically baseboard heat is figured on 550 BTU's per foot. 200 x 550 = 110,000 btu's needed for heat"
My house is around 2300 sq ft and has 200 ft long of hot water radiators baseboards. How much BTU should I get for the new boiler?

Thank you for your help

We have this dark, black looking mold on the tile in our shower. First of all is this a health hazard? How the hell do you get rid of this stuff? It keeps coming back.
Thanks very much.

Ok so I have a small piece of marble floor in my house. It is right when you open the door, in the little foyer if thats what you want to call it. It is only about 1 sq yard in size. It is very old, Im not sure how old. I live in an old rowhome in Philadelphia & the city lost the records as to when my house was built, but the graveyard across from me is from the 1700's. So as far as I know this marble can be a few hundred years old, LOL. Anyway it is very dirty & scratched up. I really dont want to get rid of it. Is there anyway I can get it really clean & shiny again?? Thank you. 10 pts best answer
