My dad collects all sorts of antiques, and my mom really likes old glassware, so we have a lot of depression-type and carnival glass in our china cabinets and secretary bookcase. I learned that shining a black light on a piece of vaseline glass will make it glow bright green (it's radioactive!). However, the glass itself is bright green, and black light makes anything neon colored glow!

Do I have to get a Geiger in on it, or is my technique all wrong?

Ive discovered a new way to get rid of bugs in the house.......just suck them up the hoover! lol did this to a moth yesterday and it worked a treat, and its very satisfying as you dont have to get close. i now have the hoover as my weapon on choice against any bugs but ive been thinking, does it kill them or will they crawl out again? does anyone have any experience who could answer my question?

Is there a commercial battery pack (5 amps needed) that I can buy and plug in to, to run the blower fan and auger (if I have lost my electric power) or can one be made from, say 12 volt batterys? This stove would be worthless if the electricity goes out. Even something to run the stove for 12 hours or so, until electric power is restored? Thanks to anyone for an answer. Dukie

It has rained every day for more than a week and gradually everything in my house, especially the bedroom, just feels damp. I have been trying to leave windows open and have done a lot of washing but what can I use to get rid of the damp feeling in the house itself?

... what kind of blanket have you found -in your experience- that provides the most warmth and comfort on a freezing cold night? I have a friend who is fighting cancer, and she gets so cold at night. She mostly has thin throws for covers, and I'd love to get her a really nice big, warm blanket, even if I have to buy it online. We live in the south, so there aren't many choices, much less, needs, for warm blankets here.

Thanks for your help!!

so, i have a hot tub (out door) and for my friend's birthday, we were going to cook her dinner, then we were going to go into my hot tub. However, there is leaves and stuff that got inside, so we have to clean it out. If we clean it out at 10, start heating it at 11 (AM) will it be ready by, say, 6 that night? by the way, its about 35 degrees outside, so thanks for your answers!

I know there's a damned huge snake eating an egg or so every day. But he's wily. So, anyone have any good ideas 'bout how I can catch him in the act? Or do they make 'snake traps'?

I used one today and I was scared that the mouse was about to get off it and run off. And to the people who say that you should let the mouse go, what makes you think its not going to come back into your house? Or someone else's house for that matter?

We bought this chest type freezer in March or April. It has made this noise since day one. Once the compresor turns off , you can hear the freezer making bubbling noises. I have had the warranty repair company check it out. This guy tried to tell me that todays units don't have as much insulation as they used to have so they are louder. I do plumbing and mechanical work so I know a little about A/C systems and if we installed one that made this much noise, we could not label it normal. I have to admit that I have no experience with refridgerators and freezers, but a cooling system of any kind should not be popping and bubbling, right? Am I getting jerked around?

Is it true that the aluminum foil bonded in home insulation materials also reduces sound transmission?

I find hard to believe that something as thin as the foil, will significantly reduce noise.

I'm redoing my room into a lounge. Like..a techno-club based room. I want to be able to just chill in my room. I want as much space as possible..I'd like some sweet, comfy chairs..and an awesome coffee table. I like black and pink, and maybe some orange and green. Any other cool ideas (like wall hangings, disco lamps, etc) are welcome
