Mr President and First LadyA pair of eagles gave birth to 2 eaglets right in a Washington DC tulip tree in the National Arboretum on March 18 and 20th for the first time since 1947. They can be seen on Live Cam 24 hours a day. So fun to watch the parents bring home a fish to share with their new little family!

 

Ricky Bobby (Pit/Boxer)We got Ricky Bobby a week ago. He loves to hang out in the yard while we work in the garden. His absolute favorite thing to do is go for a ride in the car.

 

Snowball Quilt BlockI am starting a new quilt; it will be a king sized quilt and I've decided to make it using a combination of snowball and friendship star blocks. Here I am making the 6 inch snowball block. This is an easy block to assemble. I hope this tutorial helps.

 

Removing Lipstick in the DryerLipstick in your dryer is easily removed by using Comet with bleach. I tried so many things and nothing worked, so I took my Comet with beach and started cleaning my dryer and wow it took it all out. It was so easy.

 

Gift Ideas for Boyfriend's 15th Birthday?So my boyfriend is turning 15 years old. We have been dating for about 4 months. He loves soccer and his favorite team is Manchester United. His favorite candy is Sour Patch Kids and his favorite food is steak. I'm not quite sure what to get him and I want it to be just right.

 

Bump on Dog's Leg?I have a Pit/Lab mix. A few months ago he got a mole on his back leg, and over time, it's gotten bigger, being the size of a dime now. It is completely round and raised above the skin. It started out a reddish color and felt almost like a ball of cartilage or something. When you move it, the whole thing moves.

 

Needle Does Not Move on Sewing Machine?I'm new on here. I just picked up a Montgomery Ward sewing machine model 1917. The motor runs, but the needle doesn't move. I have checked the hand wheel. The belt it is fine and I can turn the hand wheel, but the needle doesn't move.

 

Cleaning Linoleum Floors?I live in a very old rental home. I am interested in cleaner, shiny, but not slippery floors. I need it to be easier to keep them clean due to having a bad back. All I have to wash or mop is the kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. I'm interested in the simplest, most effective way to do this.

 

Swan Steam Iron Making Noise and Not Steaming?I have a Swan steam iron. I have brought new filters, but the iron makes banging noises and there is no steam. I have put white vinegar in, but the iron is still making a rumbling noise.

 

What Breed Is My Dog?Does anyone know the breed?

 

Shopping Without a Smartphone?I do surveys online for gift cards and the other day I got one to Target. It was an e-giftcard. I realized after I got it that the store wouldn't take a printed version of e-giftcards. They would only scan it off of a smartphone. The problem is I do not have a smartphone.

 

14th Birthday Party Ideas?My birthday just past on March 30th, but I was in Virginia for my spring break. My plan is to have a party April 9th, but I don't know what to do or how long it should be in order to not bore my guests.

 

What Is This Houseplant?About a year ago my grandmother gave me a couple clones of a vine plant she had. It quickly shot out more vines and is now growing up my kitchen window. Her plant didn't fair well and died. She can't remember what exactly it is called and I was curious. Sorry the photos may be hard to make out, lots of sun.

 

Dog Tries to Bite When in Cage?I have a Pit/Boxer mix. He is a male and he is a year and a half old. We have had him for a week and he's a very well trained dog. We have no issues besides one. He tries to bite if people stick their fingers into his cage to pet him.

 

Troubleshooting Circuit Problems?I lost power in the bathroom, the guest bathroom and, also in and the socket outside. I think they are all on the same breaker, but on that same breaker

 

What Breed Is My Dog?I would love to know the breed of my dog. She is very energetic and loves people. Sometimes even if you are laughing really hard she will come up to you and just lick your ears randomly.

 

Removing Skunk Smell on Dog?I am looking for a solution for a lingering skunk smell on my dog. She has had 3 baths with the baking soda/peroxide/dish soap mixture that worked well. But she still stinks, especially after getting wet. Is there a deodorizer of some sort that I can perhaps spray on her or wipe her down with?
