Does anyone know what kind of creature i found in my garden? It is about 8 inches long. It is almost as skinny as a thread. It does not appear to have legs. It moves in a weird way. Thanks.

My countertops are 20 years old, in excellent condition, but are poris in some areas. I use bleach and water to clean them, but I'm looking for a good commercial cleaner. They are a light almond color. Any suggestions?

I live in Tennessee. Last night a large flying insect came in my house. It was about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. Brown in color. Has 6 legs. A long thick body with long brown wings that go slightly past the body. It had pichers on its mouth area and long knotted antennas. I have lived in Tennessee all my life and I have never seen anything like this before. Are there any web sites that I can visit to possibly identify this insect. Or if anyone possibly knows what this may be please let me know

I wrote before that I wanted to remove everything plastic from my house. What I should have said is that I want to remove as much plastic as possible. I no longer have a TV, radio, CD/MD/Casette player. I would say I have about 5% of plastic in the house now. My computer has plastic, but overall it is made of a thin metal covering, expensive, but I'm on a mission. Also, when I shop, I bring my own bag and remove all plastic containers at the shop, which has a recycle bin for those things, so I come home with zero plastic. Wood, glass etc are eco-friendly. Plastic isn't.

After living at the residence for 42 yrs we are told we cannot park our cars on the footpath outside our home. We have a concrete walkway on the footpath plenty of room on the footpath for both cars and people to walk, ride, push prams, etc. We maintain our footpath both walkway and where we parked the cars access is available at all times. We are told to park car on road outside residence. My sisters car was hit we live close to a T junction alot of fast cars and the road is quite busy and isnt a wide road very dangerous. On the footpath my Chihuahua's both 7months can leave my car ang go straight to the gate, I have to carry both of them from the car when my vehicle is parked on the road not a good option very dangerous for my Chihuahua's, me and my car. I live in Darwin Australia does anyone have this problem? I would prefer all neighbours to talk to people in the street if they have any problems to sort it out in a neighbouring behaviour where we can meet and talk. Agreeable.

My 3 year old son has gotten into the habit of locking bedroom doors. Thankfully he has not yet locked himself into a room. I am searching for a tool that will unlock the doors (they have the type of lock that you turn) but would like to avoid replacing all of the door knobs. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have a wasp nest on my apartment balcony. Sometimes there's one, sometimes two wasps working on it. I've come quite close to them as I hang my baby's laundry right in front of the nest. Initially, I ignored it because the wasps didn't seem aggressive. Plus, I don't like killing anything.

The thing is, the nest is getting bigger! It's about 2 inches now. I read on YA that wasps just keep on building....The creatures haven't harmed us in any way yet, but the last thing I want is a swarm of wasps sharing my balcony. Most of all, I'm worried about my baby's safety.

Should I leave them alone? Will they leave eventuallly? Or should I attempt to remove the nest myself or call an exterminator?

those with small flowers would be nice.
those that can survive air-conditioned rooms.
we have lots of sunlight, though, so it won't be a problem.

This has helped a great deal with removing clutter from my life. Because I can look at my possession with new eyes, if it's not from nature, it's out. That accounted for 15% of all my possessions. Also, when I shop I buy only natural things (wood, stone, glass, metal) that has cut down my spending by 30% because sometimes natural products are more expensive, so I would rather do without than put plastic in the house.
How do you get rid of clutter?

I went to a friend's house the other day and I felt this energy there. I wondered what it was. When I looked around I noticed she didn't have anything plastic in her home. Everything was made of wood, glass, metal or stone. So I started to get rid of everything plastic, even those plastic pencils (now only wooden ones) and do you know I now feel a certain energy passing through the house. Anyone else had this experience?

I need some grapefruit size rattan or wicker balls to put in a bowl for a centerpiece. I have seen them in catalogues (sp?) but only as decorations for big furniture pieces they are selling, never for sale themselves. Or wooden balls would work too. I have searched online, tried ebay, looked at target, pier one etc etc etc and can't find them for sale anywhere. Obviously someone has to sell them, but can't seem to find where. Any ideas?
