Petey Fischer (Mixed Breed)Petey was a gift from God. After searching for 3 years I thought dah! and said a prayer. 3 days later God blessed me with the best dog in the world! He was at a shelter in Palms Springs, California, where he was found as a stray! Can you imagine being thirsty down there in the desert?

 

Soapy Water for Wasp RemovalWasps seem to hate warm soapy water. I attached a sprayer to my hose with simple dish soap in it. I applied some several times during the day and have successfully deterred a large nest that was visible and inside my covered porch structure. I was reluctant to use a bunch of wasp spray.

 

Emergency Bag for Car TripsEvery time my friend and I go on a trip in her car, we need something and don't have it. So today, I made a kit for all the stuff we have needed. It doesn't have everything, but it does have the things we have needed over the last few trips.

Value of New Standard Encyclopedias?I have a full set of the New Standard encyclopedia, copyright 1931. It consists of 25 books plus the study book and the 1933, 34, 35, 36, and 37 year books. I am just wondering how much this complete set with the upgraded extras that came with them would sell for. The books are in very good condition.

Introducing New Kitten to Resident Cat?I have a 3 year old, strictly indoor,cat that my husband and I adopted at 5 weeks old.

She has never seen another cat since we brought her home until 5 days ago when we brought home a new 7 week old female kitten.

 

Growing Tomatoes?On the tomato tag in the pot when you buy the plant, it has the tomato type and a maturity time. When does the maturity time start? When the seed is planted? When you put the plant in the ground? When? Thanks.

 

Sharing Expenses With Girlfriend?My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. She rents an apartment and I own a house, but it is in foreclosure.
