I read in a recent Popular Science magazine that you can unseal an envelope in the freezer, but I don't recall how long it would take for it to pop back open. Anyone know the time it would take?

Does anyone know how to turn it off?
Thanks!

I mean buff and shine, or go over a couple of times? Are there other things that you clean that you don't clean on a regular basis like crystal or your cuio cabinet and chandeliers, and you make it shine during the holidays?

Today we had a lot of snow and rain, and my sister and I went out Christmas shopping-stupid me I wore my REALLY LIGHT COLORED Ugg boots. They are soaking wetat the area where your toes would be. I really need to dry them, I've been using the suede defense and brush to clean the stain but that just made them more wet. Will they get ruined if I put them in the clothes dryer? Or is there another way to dry them?

I know I have a leak in my main water line somewhere under my yard from the water main in the street to my house (because when I turn off the water to the house itself, the water meter still spins). The plumber wants to dig up my entire yard with a backhoe and charge me thousands of dollars to find the darn leak. That strikes me as using a rocket when a BB gun would do as well. Isn't there any simpler, less expensive way of finding a leak ?

For my English project, which is tomorrow!

I can't just throw some sheets together, it's like a costume costume.

I procrastinated and yeah now I don't know what to do.

I'm afraid if I cut too much fabric it won't be long and flowy.

But I have to cut it eventually, I'm just worried.

I didn't buy a pattern like an idiot and now it's too late.

I have a sewing machine and everything. I know how to hem it.

It doesn't have to be perfect but I just don't know where to begin.

What do I do?

I just bought a tool kit of theirs and it was much less expensive than I thought it should be, so I want to be sure the quality is ok? I know nothing about tools, but since its a gift, I want to make sure they would be high quality, long lasting items. Does anyone have any experience with their merchandise?

I live in my basement. But my heating room is in my basement but in another room with a wall and the door. It is a pretty small room. Is it bad that I stored a lot of things in the room like boxes and clothes and stuff? Does it have a large chance of a fire starting or the room blowing up because its so packed with stuff and the heating room is mixed with boxes and stuff? Also the storage is seperate from the heater and all the heating equiptment. So is it fine or is it still bad that its in there even though everything is seperated and not touching the heating tank and that stuff?
