The electric outlets in the living room stopped working. We flipped the breakers and now when you plug something in it goes on and off. I think one of the outlets is blown what can I do?

If you have a short in one of the outlets this needs to be replaced. Normally this is simple and not so hard to do.
You'll need to purchase some new outlet at your local hardware store. Afterwards, turn off the circuit breakers in your home. Undo the screws and remove the faceplate and then the outlet. They are held in by 2 screws. You will need to unscrew the wires at the back of the outlet and attach them to the new one. Put this back together and turn on the electricity. Now you can test the outlets and make sure they re working correctly.
If this doesn't help, you'll need to replace the fuse in your breaker box.
If you are unsure about electricity, you would be better off calling in an electrician.
