My friend was reaching under the kitchen sink and swear she saw a little brown roach scurry away. We immediately cleaned out everything from under the sink and, although I know not so healthy for us, sprayed the crap out of the cracks and possible openings with ant/roach Raid spray. Our building has had roach complaints for over a year but I've been lucky enough in three years to never see one.

I looked as carefully as I could but I don't think there's any roach droppings (but who knows) and i haven't seen anything else since. I'm leaning towards the side of caution but wondered what else I should be doing/looking for! Help!!

Yesterday, I came home and saw that our TV cable box wasn't turning on. So, I shuffled through the wires in the back and couldn't figure what was wrong. Then I realized the stove clock had been reset. And so had my computer. All over my house lights were dimmed, and bathroom fans were running at half speeds. My girlfriends hair dryer was barely blowing air, and the A/C had just been blowing room temperature air long enough for it to be almost 5 degrees over what the temperature was set to previously.

All of the circuits have been flicked off and then back on, and none of them were blown. This place I'm living was built less than a year ago. It just seems like there is not enough electricity coming into the house. We aren't running any more appliances than normal, and haven't had this issue in the past. What is going on with the electricity in this house?

My fiance comes home from Iraq next month and we're moving out into an aparment together. Over the past few months I've been buying little things here and there: a crock pot, glassware set, baking pans, toaster, shredder etc. I would love to know, for those of you who moved out on your own, what's one thing you didn't have you wished you would have thought to bought before moving out so I can be sure to have most of the important little things on hand.

Say you live in an apartment building with no one in the building has roaches, but your apartment is a mess. How do roaches come about? Let's assume you didn't carry any home on your feet or anything and your neighbors don't have any, how do people get roaches initially?

We are selling our Mom's home on our own as she passed away. We have an offer that is possible, but our attorney is away this week to consult- The prospective buyer has asked us not to show the house to anyone and have a handshake contract now and he wants to go in the house and start drawing plans to expand the home but he has ignored our request to make a deposit on the house- I do not think it is appropriate to let him do this without anything signed. And I do not think that the house showing should be stopped for a 1000.,00 deposit- Our atty said he should put up 10 percent. Any ideas on this deal? Thanks.

My dad works for a produce company, being a delivery truck driver. He has an average wage of $16.75 an hour, but the income he receives isn't enough to cover the bills anymore. Now he is considering to moving out of our house into a trailer park or residential enclosure.

I was wondering how much cheaper & safe it is to live in a trailer park than a regular suburban household. I am 21 but I can't work since I must watch over my sick mother (she's 61 but has dementia, & acts like a baby). It is too late for POA's for my mother & my dad is always too overloaded with work to deal with personal business (except bills) with the family.

Extra: What's with the rising costs of property tax? Money-hungry politicians?

I have a very small 17 year old ficus tree that is dropping leaves like crazy. Because we recently moved to a 6 plex that has no windows with good light (The only light that it gets is indirect) I am wondering if this could be the cause. I am a newbie to caring for a ficus tree, and I would really be upset if it went completley naked. Also, are there any tips to stimulating new growth? The previous owner never fertilized the tree, and I didn't want to do something that might shock the "delicate" (i.e. tempermental) sensibilities of the tree. Any and all help with my fical ficus would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard of the Stargazer Lily that seems to gaze at the sky. But what about other flowers? Some that have names like "moon watcher" or "stargazer" or something? Is there any other flower that gazes at the stars and has a name for their nocturnal nature?

I keep my house immaculate & we do not leave food around. That's why I cannot understnd why everytime I turn around, there are more damn sugar ants in the house! I'll find them in the oddest of places too- on a windowsill in my son's room (he doesn't eat in his room), in the bathroom, on the washing machine. I literally cannot leave a glass of WATER next to my bed during the night because if I go to take a sip, guaranteed there will be ants in it. We have tried traps, ant spray on the inside and outside of the house, I don't know what else to do short of setting the house on fire! I'm just so tired of these things! Any suggestions!?
