Identifying Small C Shaped String Like Bugs?At first I found a few small (needed a mag glass to see em) black string like small, C shaped type bugs. Then the string bugs grew to look like string fuzz. Spraying and cleaning has done nothing. They are everywhere. They are not carpet beetles. I have searched the net to no avail. The only thing I can think of is they came from a thrift store, as my husband brings stuff home all the time.

Bureau Drawers Stuck?Two of the drawers of my father's roll top bureau are stuck. The drawers have hooks at the back. I have taken the bottom 2 drawers out and can see a piece of wood with a horizontal bit sticking out to the side. I have reached in with my arm and released the drawers, but they got stuck again. Any ideas about how to keep them from locking?
