Responsibilities of Financier with POA in India?
You need to consult someone with some knowledge of the laws of your country. Offhand, I wouldnt do such a transaction here in Canada. It sounds dangerous to me.
Cleaning Silver and Diamond Necklace?
With regard to the denture tablets, I suspect they will not remove the tarnish. They are not made for that at all.
Repairing Damage to Leather Handbag?
I cant think of any way to repair that sort of damage. Is it a real leather handbag, or synthetic? If it was more of a sporty bag, you might be able to glue a patch on it that might look cute, but since this is such a dressy bag, I think you should check out...
Gift Ideas for Boyfriend's Birthday?
If you dont have time to make a CD, perhaps you could purchase one that has your favorites on it, or from an artist whose concert you attended together, or want to attend. A framed photo of yourself might be nice. What about a picture of the two of you printed...
Color Advice for Bedroom Comforter and Blinds?
I would match the vertical blinds with the wall colour, either the main wall or the accent wall, depending on what you like. You could go with a darker blue or mixed blue print for bedding, or go with white duvet and pillows and a blue accent blanket or some...
Dry Cleaners Ruined Down Filled Pillows?
I wonder if your pillows were so old that the cleaning process destroyed the down. I have now experience with down, but I do know that feather pillows wear out over time. Perhaps down will last for decades, but I suspect that age was a factor. Have you had...
Circuit Breaker/Ceiling Fan Issues?
If you are lucky, Bruce, an electrician, will reply. He always has good advice, and can solve many problems, although often the best advice he has, at the end, is to call in an electrician. Me -- Id call an electrician. But hopefully, Bruce will help you out...
Electrical Outlet Stopped Working?
I like Bruces first line of advice-- call an electrician. Bruce is an electrician, and can explain these things, but nothing beats having a trained professional fix things for you.
Thin Short Nails?
I have been having trouble with brittle nails lately (and never before in my life!), and I am having good luck with a nail hardner polish that I buy at the local drug store. It is just a clear polish that says it will help strengthen nails. Try something like...
Value of Thomas Kinkade Print?
I have googled Thomas Kinkade prints, the official website, and see a framed print that looks like yours for $195. You should have a look for yourself. If that is the case, and this is like your picture, you could maybe get $175, although I think $150 would...
Value of Thomas Kinkade Print?
You should google for information. There are likely similar prints on eBay or similar sites. You could also take it to an art shop or antique and collectibles shop and see what they would give you for it. I have no idea of the value of Thomas Kinkade prints...
Using Mothballs?
Mothballs evaporate. But I would advise you to use something else, as they are so toxic and the smell permeates the closet and is an awful stench.
Removing Wallpaper Adhesive from Plaster?
I used a commercial product to remove the wallpaper, and then sprayed the adhesive with water and scraped with a spatula that is used to apply plaster. Then I had to wash the remainder off the wall. It was a bit of a pain, but not difficult. I do not know if...
Best Blonde Hair Dye?
I use Nice and Easy. Works for me. I suspect that they are all good. I found the home products were less itchy on my scalp than the ones that my stylist used.
New Dentures Painful?
Your teeth should not cause all this discomfort. Contact your dentist at once. Do not suffer or wear your teeth in jar! My mother just had dentures fitted last year, and any fittings she needed were included with the cost of the denture. As well, she had relatively...
Identifying Small Black Flying Bugs?
The previous poster is correct. Most little black insects are harmless, especially if you are talking about fruit flies. However, without seeing the actual insect or a photo of it, it is impossible to say what it is. You will have to ask someone who is there...
Pirate Theme Attire for Wedding?
I always wear lots of gold chains for a pirate outfit. You should also think about a hat or a bandanna around your head. Google for images to get an idea how to tie it.
Washer Won't Spin?
I know youd like to fix this yourself, but if youve already spent time and money on this, and it isnt fixed at all, wouldnt it be better to call a repair person?
Latex Paint Peeling Off Oil Paint?
I suspect that you have to remove all the paint. I would consult the troubleshooting line of the paint company that you are planning to use. They can be very helpful.
12th Birthday Party Ideas?
A 12 year old should have lots of ideas. Many girls like an at home-spa party, and you can google for ideas for that. Some like things like games or activities like going to a movie or pool and then party lunch. Perhaps she would like a fancy dress party, with...
Circuit Breaker Tripped?
Perhaps you have several things on the same circuit as the AC and the lights, and the outdoor party lights are a co-incidence. My kitchen breaker would flip if I was making coffee or toast, and micro-waved something, but not every time. Finally I realized that...
Living Room Curtain Color Advice?
I am not a fan of wild curtain colours, but you might look for a pattern that incorporates a bolder, brighter colour into your curtains. You would need to use this accent colour in cushions, artwork, a throw, for example, to tie the room together. If I were...
Re-dyeing Hair?
When my son was dying his hair wild colours, we found good hair dye at places at like skateboard shops because the usual hair salons did not have those sorts of colours. If you live in a city, you may have salons that cater to wild colours. I understand what...
Jeans Shirt Changed Color and Texture in...
There may be something defective with the shirt, and if it is a very inexpensive one, that may have something to do with it. However, if it became darker in colour, I cant see how it can be that the dye washed out, as the previous poster said. I would suspect...
Body Odor on Clothes When Using Aluminum Free Deodorant?
This sounds like a laundry issue rather than a deodorant issue. You might also try switching brands of detergent; I find that Tide often works better than generic brands. However, you might try a cup of baking soda in the wash cycle will work to remove odors...
Verbally Abusive Husband?
Start with counseling for yourself, as this will help immensely. You can find help from a local womens shelter, or perhaps your church, if you have one. I think you should leave this man immediately, but I know it is not an easy thing to do. Make a plan; see...
Power Only Works When Stove On?
If this were my home, I would call an electrician right away, and get it fixed.
Remedy for Perm Damaged Hair?
I agree with Dinah, go back to the salon and firmly request help. If this was a home perm, you might also go to a salon as they may have some remedies for you to help you deal with the damage. And as for making your hair grow faster, there is NOTHING you can...
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
Id agree with the previous poster. White is great for bathrooms. However, if you want to be extra daring, a dark blue that matches the blue in the trim, tiles, and countertop might be great, although dark colours make the room feel smaller. Any shade of light...
Gloves for Coloring Hair at Home?
I think any kind of latex glove would be fine, but I just use the ones that come. They are a bit lose, but I dont find that that is a problem. I think you can get boxes of gloves in a drug store if you need exceptionally small ones.
Curtain Color Advice?
Personally, Id go with white or off-white curtains. I have had sheer nubbed material sheer drapes for years, and I love them. There are mini-blinds behind the drapes to darken the room if needed. In my previous house I had white room darkening drapes with white...
13th Birthday Party Ideas?
Why not have a small family birthday celebration, and hold a bigger party for her invited friends later in the year -- say Sept, when everyone is back to school and home from vacation. I always found that parties during the school year were much better attended...
12th Birthday Party Ideas?
How would she feel about having the party earlier in the year? I think at 12 I would have been just as happy to have it earlier so that I could have had the type of party that I wanted.
Keeping Flies Out of Unused Office Space?
Phone the landlord and complain about all the flies. Report that the office above is full of them, and ask him to clean it up and investigate how those flies are getting in. It will be very difficult to rent out that office space if it is full of flies!
Moving a Duck and Her Nest?
You need to talk to someone who has experience with raising ducks. Is there a local farmer you could consult, or a government agricultural office that might help? Sometimes there are experts at colleges that have vet medicine programs or agricultural programs...
Sharing Expenses With Girlfriend?
Sit down with your girlfriend and discuss the issue. If you are in financial difficulty, you will have to sort that out as well, and there is no time like the present. If this is a serious relationship, you need to sort out the financial issues before you can...
Free Seed From Grocery Store Produce
If the plant/veggie you collected the seeds from was a hybrid, it might not produce a good veggie, but you havent lost much except your time, so there is certainly no harm in doing so. Many home gardeners using heritage seeds save their own seeds from year...
Dishwasher Not Draining Completly?
I am also wondering if this is a plumbing and drain problem rather than a machine problem. Id consult a plumber.
Ceiling Fan Wiring Problems?
Its obviously wired incorrectly. Time to call in a friend who is an actual electrician, perhaps, rather than a handyman. I doubt that it is a difficult problem to solve.
Spaying a Lactating Dog?
I think you should wait till the puppies are completely weaned. Also, you should certainly discuss this with your vet. This is major surgery and you should not put such a strain on your mother dog when she has her puppies to care for.
Cleaning Polyester Work Shirts?
In future, be sure to wash these white things only with other white things. Fabric softener does not whiten fabrics. As the other poster mentioned, bleach works for cottons but not for polyesters. You may also find it helpful to hang them in the sun.
Dealing With a Sibling's Friends?
Is there any reason that your sister could not visit her friend at her friends house? If they are such good friends that they want to spend every day together, perhaps half the time could be at her house. This might be a good compromise.
Removing Spray Paint from a Wall?
I think it would be easier to repaint the wall. You might try something like Mr. Cleans Magic Eraser, but I suspect that anything that will remove the spray paint will also remove the paint on the wall.
Stove on New Breaker Not Heating Up?
Time to call in a certified electrician, I should think. That is what I would do.
Bleach Marks on White Jeans?
Are you sure those are bleach marks? I have never had bleach make marks on white things. However, whatever it is, you may have good luck by wetting the stain and the surrounding area and letting the sun shine on it. Sunlight will sometimes take out stains on...
Living Room Paint Color Advice?
I do not think red will brighten the room; I suspect it will overpower it. Go with a lighter off-white, for instance. Greens are tricky to match, and look odd if they are not well co-ordinated, so I would not use green on the walls with a green accent chair...
Curtain and Rug Color Advice?
I agree with the previous poster. Turquoise seems to be your accent colour. Go with it. You may want to go with a brown/tan/turquoise pattern on either the carpet or curtains, if you like patterns. I assume we are talking area rug. I do not think you would...
Organizing Plastic Storage Containers?
My aunt, who is a wonderful housekeeper, said this to my other aunt (who is not as good) Amy, you have too many tea towels. You cant close the drawer. You have to get rid of some. This was quite a revelation to me, as my mom (the third sister) is of the mind...
Electrical Circuit Issue?
What a mystery!! Does the vacuum have to be plugged in constantly for things to work? This must be inconvenient, if so. I suspect you have a short or something. Bruce is an electrician who posts on here occasionally. Perhaps he can explain whats going on. If...
Refrigerator Not Cooling?
I am a great believer in repairpersons whenever possible, but a fridge that doesnt cool at all might be major problems. You should probably consult someone, but in my experience fridges work nearly forever until they die. Then you buy a new one.
Refrigerator is Freezing Everything?
The most likely reason is that you have the temperature control turned up too high. There is a dial in most fridges with numbers from 1 to 9, or similar. Mine is a dial in the front with dots going from cold to colder. Check this out and see where yours is...
Toilet Paper Tube Dragon
What a cute craft!! For a lower budget option, you could just paint the tube green. That might be easier for littler ones as well!! If I was still teaching school, Id do this as a class project!!
Gas Stops With a Long Travel Trailer?
I just recently traveled with my son to off-road competitions through Canada, Idaho, and into California. He was hauling his off-road truck on a long flat deck trailer, and had to choose his gas stations carefully. When you travel on the interstates, you will...
Light Bulb Intermittent?
The first thing to check is to see if the bulb is securely screwed into the outlet. It may be only partially set in, and so if it gets banged or bumped or jiggled, it may shut itself off because it has come loose. You could also try just replacing the bulb...
Take Picture of Completed Puzzle
To Pixidust, I believe the post is about the small puzzles that come in a cardboard frame. They usually dont have a picture with. Kids look at the puzzle, dump the pieces, and then fit them together, usually with little difficulty. I know some little kids who...
Sharing Car Expenses With Girlfriend?
I suspect the arguments you are having are more about you being unemployed rather than the car. Are you receiving unemployment insurance, and able to contribute to the finances this way? I challenge you to think about how things are going, and try to figure...
Stepmother Gives Me Used Gifts Every Christmas?
Ignoring this might be the simplest thing to do, but you might also speak to your dad about this. Does he know his wife, your step-mother, is giving you used gifts? Also, you say that these are not the kind of things that can be given to charities. Perhaps...
12th Birthday Party Ideas?
By out of the house do you mean movies or rollerskating, or do you just mean an outside activity. I always used to take my summer birthday parties to the pool, and I have taken a small group to the movies. If it is just outside, a trip to a park - perhaps even...
Bikini Dingy After Being Washed With Darks?
I believe there is a product you can get to take the colour out of garments like this. Perhaps you could google for info, or go onto the website of companies that make cleaning products or dyes - like Rit, Johnson & Johnson, etc.
Carpet Color Advice?
It is difficult to give such advice online. My suggestion would be to get a friend whom you trust and whom you believe has good taste, and who sees colours normally, to come over and have a look at your choices. Just from your description, both sound all right...
Building a House Frugally?
You will need to find out whether this sort of thing is allowable in the area where you live. Some areas are much more restrictive than others. Rural areas and small towns may be more viable. However you build, you will need to find out about building codes...
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
If you are looking for colour, brown may not be the choice you want, as it will make the room dark -- although perhaps you will like the cozy feel. However, I would take the previous posters advice and look at the glass tile for a colour to put on the walls...
Salt Water for Tarnished Silver Ring
Bleach is not acidic and salt is not alkaline. I couldnt tell you exactly why bleach turned your silver ring dark, nor why the salt worked, but it has nothing to do with acid/alkaline reactions. Just thought Id clarify the chemistry. In fact, an acid (eg vinegar...
13th Birthday Ideas?
What you choose to do will depend on what is available in your area. Would the girls like an art museum or history museum? Is there an amusement park, a rollerskating arena, a rockclimbing wall, paintball, laser tag? (Some of these ideas need more than 3, but...
Inexpensive Gift for Mom's Birthday?
As a mom, I would really appreciate a special dinner cooked for me, and a birthday cake. You would not need to purchase special groceries. Cook what is in the house! Make a card, and find flowers from your yard, or wild flowers for a centerpiece. Moms love...
Installing a Whole House Water Filter?
I really dont know if you need this or not. It sounds very expensive to me, but it depends what you want. Some people want water that is totally devoid of minerals. This may get you that kind of water. I have a Brita tap filter on my drinking water tap in the...
Getting Hair Back to Natural Colour?
If you dye your hair at all, you have three choices with regards to roots. Either you need to dye the hair repeatedly when the roots begin to show, or you can use hair dye that is made for just dying the roots (comes with a little comb for application), or...
Cleaning Stains in a Porcelain Tub?
The blue and green stains are likely copper from your pipes dissolved in lime from hard water. Vinegar may remove the stains, or any product advertised for cleaning up lime residue, such as CLR or the CLR Tub and Tile cleaner.
Using an Above Ground Swimming Pool?
As a mom, I would have no problem with that. I assume you are using treated water from a city system. Or drinkable water from a rural home system. If you have concerns, you could inform the parents of these children, and they could decide for themselves if...
Kitchen Cabinet Color Advice?
I like wooden cabinets, and if they are in good shape, leave them alone. Since your countertops are black and the floor off white, you really have a very neutral pallet going on, so the wall colour could likely be anything you like. You might like to go with...
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
No, they do not. I think light blue is an excellent colour, and gives you a nice range of colours for matching towels -- white, cream, any shade of blue, dusty rose, yellow, grey--lots of choices!
13th Sleepover Party Ideas?
I dont think campfires are dangerous, if you have a proper firepit, however, you likely shouldnt be having one all night long. You might think about all kinds of boards games that you have available. Something like that might be fun. I would have several movies...
Bedroom Curtain Color Advice?
I think white would look great. Or, you could go with a shade of pink that matches either of the walls, or is lighter or darker. If you like prints - geometric or flowers, a print in shades of pink and white, and perhaps some other colours (say yellow and green...
Living Room Paint Color Advice?
I know you dont want to hear this, but I think you should go with white, especially if you are going to hang a multitude of pictures. I collect paintings and am an artist myself, and I find that white or off white is a very easy colour to live with. Every painting...
Back to Back Double Pane Windows?
I believe that this is what my son plans to do in his energy efficient home, but I do not know if he had some info about this. I have read the article the previous poster, Sandi, gave you, but it did not seem to cover this idea. Perhaps you could google for...
Curtain Color Advice?
I would go with white or a very pale grey, perhaps sheer, or antique silk, depending on whether you want them to be light blocking or not. Since everything so neutral, I expect you do not want to go with any bold colours. You might go with a grey, black, and...
Keeping Bats Out of My Yard?
Bats are quite uninterested in you, and are very beneficial. I think that they would do a good job of keeping the insects down, which is a great plus. I have heard that bats are preyed upon by owls, so perhaps one of those plastic owls that can be purchased...
Keeping Mice Out of Pop Up Camper?
When we lived on a grain farm, and parked the camper far from the house, mice invaded it. We had at least a dozen outdoor cats, and when we parked the camper close to the house where the cats hung out, we never had any trouble with mice. The cats did their...
Fabric Dye Transferred in the Wash?
You might also look for a product from Rit that is supposed to work to take out dye transfered in the wash.
Sharing Expenses With Boyfriend?
No, you are not expecting too much. In fact, you are expecting far too little. Any man who expects to move in and NOT share half of ALL the expenses related to the home (food, utilities, rent, gas expenses, insurance, etc.) is a moocher. The child support is...
Bathroom Curtain Color Advice?
Could you use a lace curtain? If not, go with a light colour of blue or green, or a print that matches the colours of your shower curtain and towels. I would not use the same material unless you love it. It might be too matchy, matchy. Could you use a sheer...
Foul Smell in Home?
Do you have natural gas heat? Could there be a leak in a gas line? Im guessing not, as this is very dangerous, and would likely have already led to an explosion. But, perhaps not. You might not have gas, and still have a leak coming through the soil into your...
Wiring a Sub Panel?
We have a very knowledgeable fellow on here, Bruce, who is often able to help with these sorts of questions. You will have to hope that he will be available. However, often the last line of Bruces advice is call a qualified electrician, so I will just jump...
Moving Assistance for a Disabled Person?
I doubt very much if it is possible to emigrate to another country because a person is disabled in order to be better looked after in that country. Im sorry. Here in Canada, we have very good social safety nets, but there is a lot of backlash as well, even...
Kenmore Refrigerator Not Working?
I have found that sometimes things dont work properly if they are shut off for long periods of time. Goodness knows why that is, but that seems to be the case. My renter refused to use the dishwasher in our mobile home, and when she moved out, the thing wouldnt...
Setting the Temperature in a Refrigerator?
My guess is that 0 means off, but give it a try. Turn it up to 7 or so, and see if the fridge gets colder. If not, turn it the other way.
Asking for a Cash Gift for Combined Birthday Party?
I think the success of this will depend on what your children want and who you are inviting. I can see that this would work as a fancy celebration if you planned it something like a summer fair -- having a clown or a magician entertain, having someone doing...
Add Fruit to Ice Cubes
Sounds like a lovely idea. I just was at a lovely afternoon party where the hostess served frozen grapes in champagne. Im sure they would be equally good in iced tea or lemonade or even plain water.
Getting Nail Polish Off Car Paint?
Try nail polish remover on some part of the paint that isnt visible -- like the inside of the door panel or inside on the trunk. I suspect that the nail polish remover will not harm the finish. I have had to use kerosene to remove road tar, and certainly gasoline...
Light Fixture Stopped Working?
While you are waiting for management to replace the defective light fixture, if that is the problem, you might pop down to a thrift shop and pick up a lamp that you could plug in. I am sure you could get one for $5 or $ 10 - maybe even less.
Dilute Full Fat Milk Instead of Buying Skim
Im sorry, I dont think this is a good idea. Skim milk may look watery, but it is all milk. It merely has the butterfat - the cream - removed. If you had non-homogenized milk, you would see the cream rise to the top, and you could skim it off - hence the name...
Leaving an Abusive Husband?
If he is abusive, he wont want to leave. Asking him to do so is a waste of time. Make plans to leave; find help - either friends, relatives, or someone from the womens shelter. If you are simply renting a place, then make arrangements to be off the lease. See...
Getting Hair Back to Natural Color?
I would leave it alone for awhile. If the colour bothers you, wear a hat or a turban or something. Perhaps you can contact the website of the hair product manufacturer and see if they have any helpful advice.
Getting Hair Back to Natural Color After Dyeing?
If you use a permanent hair dye, you will likely have to let it grow out. It is possible to take out colours, but I have no experience with it, and I expect it is very hard on the hair.
Living Room Curtain Color Advice?
Only you can tell if it is too dark, as the amount of light in the room makes a tremendous difference. But I like the idea of going with a drape that matches the wall colour, as I think that always makes a room look more spacious.
Relocating a Possum?
We have no possums up here in Canada, so I am interested to know if it comes back as well. Only time will tell, I guess! Although how will you tell if it is the same one, or another one that has moved in?
15th Birthday Ideas?
Croquet is a game that people played at garden parties. If you cant find a croquet set, you could cobble one together by using golf clubs as the mallets (just putters, probably, although use what you have or can borrow), golf balls, and making some hoops out...
Paint and Sofa Colour Advice?
Beige is pretty basic and is a neutral. You can pretty much choose whatever colour you like. Choose the sofa first, and then pick the paint colour to match the sofa. If you are unsure about colours, take a swatch (or one curtain) with you to the store, and...
Donating Trophies in Canada?
For a start, why dont you contact the local 4H clubs and see if they would like to reuse the trophies? Remove the name plaques, maybe keep those for a souvenir as they take up hardly any space, and the trophies are ready to be used again. With a phonecall or...
Curtain Color Advice?
If I were you, I would go with white sheers or white sheers and white antique silk drapes. I would choose several paintings of things that I liked and perhaps colourful throw or two and matching cushions to add colour. However, others who are more daring with...
Kitchen Paint Color Advice?
Well, in my kitchen, I have dark wood cabinets, pale countertops and floor, similar to yours. I have a chair rail, and so I painted the rail and below different from the main room colour. This is a bit of a country look, but if you have an apple theme, you...
Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping?
Bruce always gives good advice. He knows what he is talking about. However, another thing that he should have mentioned is that breakers wear out if they trip frequently. If I were you, I would go with his advice to change your light bulbs, and then, if the...
Kitchen Curtain Color Advice?
I would go with a pale yellow that matched the wall colour, or a white and yellow print. I would not go with a busy print.
Making 'Brute Fresh' Coffee
One can get an actual single cup brewing filter holder and single cup filters. I have one from Melita.
17th Birthday Ideas?
You are 16 years old. Surely you have celebrated your birthday on an alternate day rather than the actual birth day before? If not, this is a good time to start. Talk to your mom about an alternate day for your birthday celebration. Since school is out, perhaps...
14th Birthday Party Ideas?
It is not appropriate to have a party for 13 & 14 year olds without parents present. When my sons were that age, I would not have let them attend such a party. Too much can go wrong. That being said, a beach party sounds like a nice time. You can spend the...
Saving Mixed Hair Dye?
My brand also states that you can not save the mixed up dye. I think that it continues to have a chemical reaction in the bottle, as you can see that it will have changed colour in the bottle if you look. I certainly wouldnt use it. Next time, do not mix it...
Curtain Color Advice?
Off hand, Id say that those colours dont go, but one cant really tell for sure without seeing them. If they are muted enough, they might go, although I think that you have too many colours going on. Sorry.
Planning a 2nd Birthday Party?
I agree that 3 hours might be a little long, but it depends on your guests. When my middle son was two, a lot of his friends were 5 & 6 years old, and Ive also hosted parties for little guys where some of the guests were 10 year old girls, who basically took...
Buying Non-MSG Seasonings and Broth?
Most spices and herbs in the grocery stores are MSG free. Likely things like Liquid Smoke is not, but read the labels on other things. Very often products made locally that you would get at the farmers markets are MSG free. I havent used Accent in decades. If...
Relationships and Financial Responsibilities?
Others have given you great advice. I did have another thought, although it is quite horrible, but I am going to suggest it anyway. Do you think that Jason is making your life miserable now that you have cancer so that you will get so fed up that you will just...
Finding Jobs for a 13 Year Old?
Another odd job that you might like to do is pet sitting or dog walking. When I go on a trip, I need someone to check my house, feed my cat, change her litter box, and hang out with her for a bit. I usually have no trouble finding a neighbour to check the house...
Leaving an Abusive Spouse?
I dont want to totally terrify you, but I do want to emphasize that you must leave, or get your husband removed from the house as soon as possible. I dont exactly know the best way to go about this, but I would start with a womans shelter. Since you are the...
Coordinating Furniture and Accessory Colors?
When you say rug, do you mean an accent rug, or wall to wall carpeting? If you are meaning carpeting, that is your first choice. If you mean an accent rug, that comes second. Usually, the first choice is your floor covering, then your walls (although they are...
Countertop Color Advice?
I would go with some sort of neutral, because you can easily change curtains and wall colour, but you are stuck with countertop colour, unless you do an expensive re-do. I have no idea what colours this type of countertops come in, but you might consider some...
Starting a Business Reselling Jewelry?
Are you making this jewelery or are you buying it and reselling it? Ah, I see on your title, that you are reselling it. I do not know if this is such a good plan. I know that some women make a fairly good income by selling products such as Avon, various jewellery...
Towel and Rug Color Advice for Bathroom?
I agree that just about any colour in the world would match your colour scheme. I would use white and dark grey &/or black. I think that would make a sophisticated look. If you were interested in a very feminine look, you might go with dark rose and light rose...
Remedy for Bad Underarm Odor?
Is this an odor problem, or is it also excessive perspiration. My son had excessive perspiration, and used a product called Drysol with very good results. You might want to talk to a pharmacist about this, as they might have some suggestions of products to...
Painting After Wallpaper Removal?
In my limited experience, if the wall was previously primed and painted there is no need to prime it again after you remove all the wallpaper and glue residue. The only time you need to prime a previously painted wall is if you are trying to cover a colour...
Sharing Living Expenses With Girlfriend?
Personally, I do not think that you should be contemplating marrying someone who is not interested in being a family with your children. The sharing of the finances is simply a symptom of the bigger issue. Since you are taking marriage classes, hopefully this...
Curtain Color Advice?
I think you should keep searching until you find white curtains that will look nice with your walls. Perhaps a different kind of material will make a difference.
Responsibilities of POA?
I believe Power of Attorney is for legal and financial matters. If you have been caring for your mother-in-law and no financial arrangements were made, I do not think that you have any recourse. If your sister-in-law behaves as you say, it doesnt matter what...
POA Rights?
Here in Canada if one parent is flying out of the country with minor children, they need a notarized letter from the other parent to show that they are aware of the trip and that the traveling parent is not abducting the children. It is the same if traveling...
Removing Spray Paint on Concrete Steps?
I do not know how you would remove paint, so I would paint over it. I believe the only way to remove it properly would be with sandblasting.
Color Advice for Drapes?
This is a very neutral pallet. I would choose cream drapes that match the walls, as I think drapes and walls should provide a quiet background. However, I suppose you could pick a patterned drape in just about any combo using the tan, black, cream and an accent...
Stove and Dryer Don't Work After Short in Fuse Box?
My first impulse, if I were you, would be to call an electrician. If he/she cant remedy the problem, perhaps these appliances have been wrecked by the electrical short. Call an appliance repair person to diagnose those problems.
Getting Hair Colour Back to Natural After Dyeing?
I also advise going to a hairdresser. However, I think you may find that by ruling out cutting, bleaching, or re-dying, you have eliminated all possible methods.
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
I would go with the neutral colour, and do the towels and accessories in the colours that you like, such as the blue/greens. However, if you really love the blue (thats what it looks like here), go ahead. You will be limited in your choice of accessory colour...
Wearing New Dentures?
Did you not get a paper of instructions? Is there no one in your dentists office at all that can give you help? Often the assistants, or even the receptionists know the usual protocol. My mother got dentures last summer, and it seems to me that she kept them...
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?

Curtain Color Advice?
I think the room colour looks fine. If you are okay with it and it is in good shape, leave it. I would put a sheer white or white lace curtain on the window, since you already have blinds to keep out the light. Or, perhaps, white silk or white cotton, depending...

I dont think it matters if it is worth anything or not. If you like the furniture, or if it is family furniture that has been handed down, and has sentimental value, get it repaired. If you dont like it, then contact antique furniture shops and consignment...
Living Room Drape Style and Color Ideas?

17th Birthday Ideas?
I dont know any restaurants in your area, but I will tell you that 17 year olds do not want to go to a 5 star restaurant. Most 17 year olds would not appreciate the food that is served in such places. An upscale family chain would be a much better choice. Here...

14th Birthday Party Ideas?
Have the pool party. I am sure everyone will like it, and perhaps you will start a nice tradition. I am sure not everyone is able to have one. It doesnt matter that that is what you had last year; if it is fun and easy to host, do it again. We do the same things...
Living Room Paint Color Advice?
Are the walls white now? They appear to be, with white curtains. I like that look, but you could do brown walls with white trim, and keep the white curtains, add white throws and pillows. Perhaps one feature wall could be a very dark brown, and the others a...

Trouble Dyeing Long Hair?
I think, at this point, you need to consult a hair stylist to see what can be done about your hair. Repeated colouring your hair could damage it. Perhaps you need to trim your hair to get an even colour.
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
I would go with your original thought of white/green colour scheme, and I would replace the sink with a white one. White is by far the safest colour. You could camouflage the tub by hanging a shower curtain in it -- even if there is no shower there. The curtain...
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
Beige is a tricky colour. You need to get some swatches of paint and see how they look next to it. I think that your colour choices should work, but you will need just the right shade to avoid the yellow look that you dislike, which I think is coming from the...
Washer Not Draining or Spinning Properly?
If you have a reliable repair person in your area, give them a call. They will likely be able to tell you if this is repairable for a sensible fee, or if it is time to get a new washer. Some repairs are simple and cost effective; other times the whole machine...

Kitchen Paint Color Advice?
I always think that white or a light yellow are the best colours to lighten and brighten up a room. You might also consider adding extra lights, if it really is a dark room. There are undercounter lights that are nice, or I have a fluorescent fixture over the...
12th Birthday Ideas?
With only 3 guests, you have a lot of possibilities. Some ideas off the top of my head are - a spa afternoon, going to the movies, a sleepover with games night &/or movies, going to a pool, trip to a museum or science center. Birthday lunch can be very informal...
Breaker Keeps Tripping?
If a breaker trips repeatedly, it is likely worn out. However, the fact that it has been tripping indicates that there is an overload on that circuit. You need to determine what it is that is causing the breaker to trip. In my case, it was running the microwave...
Using a Power of Attorney?
It is not unusual for people with dementia to refuse help. It is a very difficult situation, and a doctor who sees his patient only once in awhile is often not the best judge of how competent one is to make decisions. Services vary from place to place, so you...

Your room is very neutral, and your furniture pieces are as well. If you want to change out the paint, that would likely be the easiest way to brighten up the room I also think you should get a painting that you really love. Paintings are not supposed to go...
Saving Leftover Unmixed Hair Dye?
The product that I use says that you can do that, as long as you dont mix the products together. Once you mix them, you have to use them up or toss them. Read the package insert, and it will likely give you details.
Power Goes Out When Using Microwave?
Microwaves use a lot of power, and so the circuit must be overloaded when you use it. If it is tripping the breaker, there is nothing scarey about this. This is what breakers are supposed to do when there is an overload. Breakers do wear out, and perhaps you...
Curtain Color Advice?
I would go with a colour that matched the walls, but if you like your drapes to be more distinctive, go with a pattern that has the wine colour of the sofa in the print. You could also match them with sofa in a solid colour, but that is a dark colour and would...
Curtain Color Advice?
I liked the blue carpet and was going to suggest the curtains be the same shade. You could do the same with the ivory carpet. The apartment is small, so I think that curtains the same colour as the walls (or light ivory like the new carpet) will make the room...
Adult Daughter Is a Mess?
Heres what I know about alcoholics, or anyone else for that matter. Alcoholics will not change until they decide to make the change for themselves. Ive had people from AA say about others who wont change they havent suffered enough. So, perhaps, even though...
Turning Off Circuit Breakers While Away?
Will you not have someone checking the place while you are gone? If so, wont they need lights? I am not sure why you would shut off anything at all. However, perhaps you live in a much warmer climate than I do, and do things differently.
Bathroom Paint Color Advice?
I would go with white, and strive for a very restful spa look to the place. As well, you can then accessorize with whatever other colour you like. I had a bathroom with those colours, and I used red, white, and black towels, glass accessories, and white flowers...
