When I was about to eat dinner tonight I grabbed what I thought was a clean plate. When I looked down at the plate there were about 8 little white bugs on it (about 3mm long) they looked like maggots but they had little tiny legs. I keep my little basement apartment very clean. Needles to say I am totally grossed out and I couldn't eat dinner. What do I do?

I've seen two big spiders in my apartment in the last week. They were black, maybe dark dark brown and about 1" in diameter. I live in Los Angeles. I don't know what kind of spiders they were or if they were dangerous, but they were scary. How I can keep them out?? I've never had a problem before. I'm not sure if it's the time of year that they want to come indoors or if I'm doing something different that's attracting them inside.

I have two spider plants (long skinny leaves that grow those branch like things that have "babies"), an ivy, a cactus and two bigger plants that I know idea what they're called. They seem to be doing okay right now but I would like to put them in different areas of my house. Would they be okay if I only kept them in rooms with a window or do they have to be in direct sunlight?

I have an Aloe Vera Plant and some of the limbs have wilted and turned very dark and I am assuming it is because I left it out in the cold weather, now in the middle of it is very green and pretty and my question is can I clip the dark wilted pieces off or what and what do I need to do to take better care of my plant so I can prevent from this happening again?? HELP!

Seriously, my life is so cluttered and I feel like I have no time to do anything about it. My office, a few closets, my attic and my garage are all disasters and I have no motivation to do it?

Part 1

Last night my brother (14) was alone downstairs playing a video game in our living room. He said he saw someone in our kitchen. He didn't get a good look but he ran through our family room to the stairs because he was so scared.

When he ran up the stairs he saw the person again in the kitchen. He raced through his room and knocked on the bathroom door which is between his room and my mom's room. She was in there cleaning the bathroom with the door shut. She let him in and he told her.

Part 2

Less than five minutes before this my mom was in her bathroom and had that door open to her bedroom, but her bedroom door was shut. She heard someone knock on her door and our dog whined at the door but when she opened it no one was there.

After this we went downstairs and found the front door unlocked (it had been locked).

Any ideas as to what could have happened? Nothing like this has ever happened to us before.

we have limited space to work with but need another bath. We have a room that is built on a slab foundation and would like to install the smallest bath that we can. Is there a stool that does not have to have a drop from the bottom? Do they make one that goes through the wall? Our adjoining room has a crawl spacel, 3 blocks high.
