Other - Home & Garden - October 2006

I just killed a cockroach in my apartment. I am in a nice neighborhood in Charlotte NC, and my neighbors had said they killed one in their apartment too. Where do they come from, and how are they getting in? Could there be possibly more than one? They've only seen one, and I just saw one. Geez!!!!!!!!!!!

Just lifted the lid and there it was. How does a snake get in a toilet anyway? This was in downstairs bathroom that only has a toilet and a sink. I didn't get a good look at it to see if it is poisonous or not, it appeared to have rings on it like a king snake or coral snake. I just put the lid back down and put a heavy paint can on it. Now what do I do? I'm in Florida by the way.

It's a small brown that flys and has a hard back. They come out mainly in the fall. We have billions of them now all over the outside of our home.

There are several kinds out there... but most of them need distilled water to keep from clogging with scale. Anyone have experience using a certain model (not a whole house humidifier) with plain (hard) tap water?

I have a small pool full of murky water for planting some aquatic plants. Now, it is nearly summer, mozzies lay their maggots in the water. So, how can I get rid of them without using any chemicals ? Is their any kind of fish that can eat these maggots, live in cold, murky water and survive? I want to get rid of these maggots naturally...
Please help...

The pilot lights work fine; I have cleaned their openings. Ever since we have used this stove we have to turn on the propane then put a bic or a match to whatever burner, then it works fine. There must be some way for the pilot to do its job.

we move out on the 15th of september from the city of fullerton in orange county, ca

3 weeks have passed and we haven't heard anything from our old apartments. i've called several times trying to get information and they have a new rookie manager there that doesn't know anything.

all he did was give me the number to his management company and every time i call there it goes straight to voice mail, i leave the information it ask for but never get any phone calls back.

what should i do? who should i contact? where can i find information regarding my situation? is there a place i can place a complain with them?

After scraping the insides of a pumpkin out... do I let it dry or put on the lid? (there are still a few stringy things left). Do I put it upside down & soak in water then dry to make it last longer?

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, lookin like he'd just been run over by a bus. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walkin with a limp.
"What happened to you?" asks Shaun, the bartender.
"Jamie O'Connor and me had a fight, says Paddy.
"That little s***e, O'Connor?" says Shaun.... "he couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."
"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
"Well, says Shaun," "you should have defended yourself....didn't you have something in YOUR hand?"
"That I did," said Paddy....."Mrs O'Connor's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight!" :)

An Irishman is sittin in a pub one night when three Englishmen walked in. The men sat down and started to talk about how they could anger the Irishman...The first man says, "Watch this..." He gets up, walks over to the Irishman and says "Hey man, I hear your St.Patrick was a f****t!". The Irishman just replies, "Oh is that so now?" The Englishman goes back to his seat perplexed, when his friend jumps up and says, "Here, lemme try that." So he goes over to the Irishman and says "Hey man, I hear your St.Patrick was a transvestite f****t!" The Irishman only replies,"Oh is that so now?" So the Englishman, frustrated, goes and sits down with his friends. Then the third Englishman jumps up and says, "Well,I'm gonna try that!". So he walks over to the Irishman and says,"Hey, I hear your your St.Patrick was an Englishman!" And the Irishman replies,"Aye, that's what your friends were sayin." :)
