The box says you can cover with a towel, but my husband says you need to wash everything. Is this true? Is it dangerous to eat on the dishes afterwards? Also what about open boxed foods in he cabinets?

I mix sunflower seeds and wild bird feed into a large feeder hanging from a low tree. The birds kick the seed out onto the ground and I'm constantly weeding this spot to remove thousands of sprouts. Is there some nifty way to keep the ground cleared under a bird feeder?

I cant get them to leave!!! Its so annoying!

I think its because the computer is by the outside wall and they can hear the noise. But I cant move my computer because the desk is built in...

Is there any woodpecker repellent out there? Some plant that will keep them away or something store bought?

Help please! They're doing it right now!

I'm interested in your personal experience, not an answer from a sales person. Our mattress is in what I believe to be good condition without any problems, but am wondering what the "life" is of an average mattress. And, any thoughts on the box spring would be helpful too. Many thanks!

I am thinking of getting a solar blanket for my pool to reduce evaporation, however my pool does not have coping. Its an inground pool, with pebble crete. I was wondering if the blanket will blow off, because I do not have the coping. Anyone had any problems with a similar pool type? Thanks.

it's indoors in a 3-season porch but it gets very cold out there in winter (like 30 degrees F). I can't bring it inside the house because my cats will try to eat it, and there really is nowhere else to put it. Can it survive such temps? Is there something I can cover it with to help?

An electricity meter makes a very loud humming noise at night. It is positioned within the communal area in a small block of flats and there seems to be some sort of timer attached to the meter. Any ideas why it is making such a loud noise and what the timer is for; and what can be done?

No sissy comments like posted on a similar question asked before ----> If the best way you can identify this person is as "a guy", then get "him" the same thing you'd get for a "gurl". It won't matter. They're not "real" anyway.
Or else, listen to "madluv".
Try to actually consider this person as a person. Get him something he might really need or want.
If you can't do that, reconsider if you should be giving him anything at all

We have just built a log home in the mountains. This morning we discovered 3 tomatoes next to our fireplace. 2 were untouched, the 3rd was 1/2 eaten. The tomatoes were carried up from the basement by something. I also discovered an empty sugar bowl and a bag of buns and a loaf of bread missing off my counter tops. Assume we have field mice and/or packrat. Someone even suggested a Pine Martin. Possibly even squirrels. Anyone have any suggestions. Can't even find the plastic bread wrapper bags and yet we have all cracks and crevices sealed.
