Other - Home & Garden - December 2006

When we tell her about things that need to be done she just doesn't answer or changes the subject. We have tried to be nice and not go to the housing authority here because we don't want to start anything. Our heat bill jumped 60 dollars between November and December. I keep it at 68 or we freeze. I have all available blankets on the beds and we wear pants, socks, slippers and jackets all day. Plus we have all hard floors to top it off. The windows all need to be checked and sealed along with all the doors. I am renting and therefore do not want to be pouring OUR money into the place. What can we do?

If not, are there any other options to get a range besides a hot plate?

I live in a 3-bedroom, two bath house. The other rooms are a kitchen (which has a doorway that opens into the entryway, the laundry room, and the great room). I have a gas fireplace and a gas heater. I am extremely cold-natured. Would it be better to operate the fireplace when someone is here (and awake)? Our highs average between 30 and 50 degrees Farenheit this time of year. I try to keep the thermostat at 68-70 degrees...if it drops below 68 I'm freezing, even if I use extra sweaters and blankets.

It's an older Sunbeam model. Pretty standard one, I think. I'd like to add a higher end burner that covers more the space more thoroughly. I'd like to add BTU's and a more sensitive control over the flame.
I know I could just buy a better grill,but this one has sentimental value. I've researched this on the internet, but come up with very little info. Has anyone ever tried something like this? I need some good resources.Thanks

Is it okay to freeze them? Will that work? I want them to last until the end of January and most of them are not fully dried out yet. If freezing them is a good idea, then what do I do about the placement of the leaves? I just want to preserve the colors and the texture of the leaves without it drying out and turning into a black color. So waxing them is not an option. I want to use them in an art booklet.

My office has keyed door locks on each door, but no keys. These are indoor offices, and "ultra" security is not needed.

Can these locks be re-keyed without an original key?

How much does it cost if this is possible, say at a Home depot or Lowes?

I want all the locks to have the same key, so that one key can open all the doors.

Thanks for the advice.

I just bought a new tabletop water cooler from Wal Mart, and a 5 gallon bottle of Hinckley water from the Home Depot to install on it. I followed the manufactures cleaning instructions before use, and before installing the water bottle. The water tasted great for the first couple of days, but now has a bad aftertaste. Should i flush the cooler out again, and install a new bottle of water? Does this water have a shelf life? Could i have gotton some bad water?

The leaflet recommends to leave the lava lamp on for no more than 4 hours at a time but it takes at least 5 hours to show movement. Is it safe to leave it on for long periods of time?

I have looked on Habitat website and they are really nice but will end up really expensive. The main thing im looking for is the bowls to be quite deep and quite big and most times you will see a square dinner set with crappy shallow bowls. Ikea also have square but im not very fussed on them and i dont want to just settle. I have tried Debenhams website but its down just now.
