I recently moved into a condo and purchased a spacesaver washer and dryer unit for the utility closet. The major problem is that there is no outside vent for a dryer vent. I live on the second floor and there is an attic. Is it ok to vent the dryer up into the enormous attic of my condo?? I am hearing all kinds of pros and cons on this. I have purchased an indoor dryer bucket that you fill with water, but it also makes my living space warm and i can imagine what it will do in the summer....eek.

I sat on the chewed up gum in a chair at the friends house. I did not notice it until I got home. Now it is really worked into the fabric. What will desolve the gum residue so that the jeans can be washed?

Hi-

For the first time ever I have a cleaning woman. She is working for an Ukranian woman/company. I pay the company $65 every two weeks (she cleans every two weeks) and she is here for about 5 hours. I do not know what her cut is. I tip her an extra $5 per week because i specifically asked for her because she ORGANIZES my messes and doesn't just clean around them-

How much do you think that I should give her for a Christmas tip?? I did find an Ukranian Christmas card too- and also- she speaks little English. i wanted to maybe make her up some flashcards of the things she may want to ask for especially. (i was clueless when she tried to tell me that she needed a sponge) do you think that this is something she would like or take offense to?

Help!

thanks!

Do you have a Roomba? Does it work? We have hardwood floors and a cat -- would we like a Roomba? Are they worth the money? Let me know what you think about the Roomba. Thanks!

I love my cashmere and wool sweaters, but I hate when they start pilling. I've used disposeable razors in the past, but find they don't work too well. How do you do it? Do you know of a gadget that works well?

I spilled scented wax from a melting dish on my brand new Ugg Boots and I can't get the oil from the wax out. I did the brown bag and hair dryer thing to lift the wax, but there are still dark stains on them from the oils in the wax. Can anyone offer suggestions?
