Many years ago in s/africa there was a craze in using supermarket bags to crochet bathmats etc. Does anyone know how to fold the bag and cut it so that it unfolds in one long piece. I have forgotten as this was nearly 30 years ago.

Looking for where farmers go to sell their fresh fruits and veggies during harvest to the public, does Brazo or Grimes County Texas have any such things. Usually farmer's put up stands together or put up booths,park their trucks or wagons in a group setting to sell their produce. Is there any place like that close to Navasota Texas.

I have an indoor plant with lots of "branches", one of which stopped growing, it closed itself at the end. How and where do I cut the end, or what else can I do to make it go back to growing? (All the other branches are growing without any problems, it's a healthy plant).

I hate throwing things out.
If something brakes i'll have a go at fixing it + often succeed.
From dishwashers to mobile phones, socks to coats.
I have alot of things waiting to be fixed.I dont like waste+ tend to save junk which i think i could make use of(maybe 1day).
I realise this is a problem,as i am tripping over bags+boxes of stuff that needs sorting out.I have some things ready for charity+ recycling.But i'd be greatful for any advice.

Well, as of now... I have about 15 mouse traps, 10 glue traps, a good 30 cotton balls saturated with oil of peppermint and about 20 packs of poison scattered throughout every secluded corner and crevice of my house--yet, I still continuously find mouse droppings every morning when I wake up and not one trap has caught a mouse. I hear them moving at night, but evidently they are steering clear of the traps. They are getting to the poison, I believe, because their poop is a greenish/bluish color (same color of the poison). How long does it take for them to die? This is beyond frustrating, I feel like spring cleaning comes everyday around here as I am forced to clean up mouse poop from underneath my cabinets on a daily basis. I hate cats, but I'm really thinking I need one. ANY suggestions are appreciated. Also, I am not one that is worried about "killing mice in an inhumane way". I could care less. I want them dead.

Our builder finally poured our foundation yesterday. However, the temperature was about 40 degrees when it was poured and in the low 30s since then. In addition, it has been raining and snowing. There was a coat of ice on everything this morning. I stopped by today and the forms were already off of the foundation and the permeseal coating was already on. All within a 24 hour period. As far as I know, nothing was done to prepare the concrete for the cold weather.

Should we be concerned?...because I am. If so, what would you recommend we do?

If the water looks good..... test good and it has been 5mts since we filled it. If I wait I will have to do it in the spring then it will be 11mts since a change. ( I live in a cold climate) I just don't want to waste water or add a bunch of water to a already really wet ground. (hot tub outside) So what do you think?

I've lived here for a year but I have no idea if it's gas heating. I thought I had central heating and air bc there is a termostat in the hallway that kicks over to either, cool or heat.

HI,
MY NEIGHBORS WANT TO RUN A WATER LINE ACROSS MY FRONT YARD PROPERTY. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS, I HAVE 2 SOUTHERN PINE TREES AND 1 OAK TREE ALL ABOUT 60' TALL. THESE TREES ARE LINED IN A ROW SIDE BY SIDE. THEY WILL BE CUTTING THE ROOTS ABOUT 4'- 6' FROM THE TREE TRUNK. ALSO THE TREES ARE ABOUT 10' TO 15' FROM OUR HOME.
MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE CUTTING OF THESE ROOTS KILL THE TREES? I WOULD LIKE TO HELP BUT SHOULD I TAKE THE RISK?
PLEASE HELP!

I went to Target this morning and fell totally in love with a set of sheets with paw prints and a comforter made of courduroy. It was sooo expensive. I would go back and buy it if I know its not cheap.

They underestimate my gas bill for 4 and half years and only realise cos I rang up and read them the meter. It then takes them 6 weeks to bill me and they send me a £3300 bill. I then realise they've charged me at current rate of gas so has now been amended to £2300. I've wrote 2 letters about this and been ignored. Then get a letter from their debt people to take me to court so rang them up and they said it was an error. Still had no reply to my letter - in one letter I told them I had contacted a solicitor to try and get them to drop a part of the bill. They read my meter a year ago and noticed the problem and thought they'd read it wrong leaving me another year underestimated. They have been truely appalling., Rang today and the girl said it was bad no one had got back to me & said actually it was law they could only back bill for 2 yrs so its being looked at for the third time. If I'd paid the 1st bill I would have been well conned any ideas on how to proceed with this???
