It has been fine for a year and a half, and it just started turning yellow lately, first at the tips of the leaves, but it's working it's way back. I have been watering it and the waiting until the pot is dry until I water it next, so I don't think it is rot. It is inside near a large window, and only gets sunlight half of the day. Do you think that could be the problem?

My aunt wants me to find some stove tops online, but is that their technical name? Do stove tops go by anything else?

My newlywed wife and I are closing on a new single-family home in the next month and want to make a list of things that we should think to buy (ranging from garden hoses to snow shovels and more).

I had not heard of this before. The statement that really concerns me is:

"Patio glass is not regulated. There are no manufacturing or safety standards for tables. Even some people who sell them suggest consumers might want to consider wood."

How much, roughly, does this cost?! You know when holes are drilled into the outside of the wall and plugged up?! possibly a bit of plastering on the inside if there is damp up the walls. This is for a small 2 bedroom house, with a lounge and kitchen only downstairs. Sorry for the uncertainty.

I have a very large window, so sunlight is not an issue, but something that blooms year round is preferable.

I have a circle bed with a big pink comforter, and I have like a aqua pillow, a lime green one, and a pink one, along with the one I sleep on. My walls are a melon-salmon ish pink, and I have light purple and pink and lime green stick on flowers on one wall with my name spelled out in the same colors. My curtains for my windows are light pink with thousands of hearts with the same colors as listed above.

The thing is, I have a wood desk, a wood nightstand, and a wood dresser. It is like tan wood (sorry I dont know the name of the wood). It feels like wood, like it isnt smooth or shiny. I have a vanity that is dark wood colored like a deep chocolate brown, that is smooth and shiny, kind of like plastic feeling, but harder.

What color should I paint the dresser, nightstand, and desk? A light pink or darker pink than my walls? Or should I do a completely different color?

(The reason why everything is pink is because I am a girly girl. I do pageants and model and act. I am also 15 :)

I have a window AC unit. It is way to small for the window I have. Is there any way to be able to prop it up on something in my house to be able to use it when indoors it is 85 degrees? Is it safe?

I just bought a 92" by 96" duvet cover (full/queen) and cannot find a corresponding down or alternative down comforter in the correct size! There appears to be no standardized size for comforters & duvet covers. Does anyone know where to find one with those particular dimensions?

Also - how can it be called a duvet cover if there is no such product as a duvet!? All there are are plain down or alternative comforters that you put inside, but why aren't there "duvets" if there are covers? That would be like pillow cases with no pillows! Ugh!

I have a Garden for the first time in my life, it is doing well. Can I freeze Zuccini, Jalapeno, and Bannana Peppers? If so do I have to cut them up, is there a certain time frame I should stick to when freezing? I wanted the Jalapeno's for winter which is about 6 months away, for Chili. I am really new to this so any info would be much appreciated, Thanks!

I Live in Florida, on a 1 acre size lot with a ton of oak trees and such. I've cleaned out most of the overgrowth and made sure to eliminate any areas of standing water, but everytime I go outside it isn't 30 seconds before those jokers attack... it's so bad that no matter where you go in the yard you are bitten and constantly.

How can I stop this? I want to be able to actually enjoy these beautiful 100 year old oak trees on my lot, but the mosquito's currently make it impossible.
