Dye Ran on Pink Uggs?
My advice is to take them back to the store you bought them from. I think you have a perfectly valid reason to return them and get your money back. Boots should be made better than to have the dye mess up.

View Lost to New Home Construction?
If theres enough room, plant a small tree or two, such as a serviceberry, that will provide food for birds (and thus, entertainment to you). Then also set out a finch feeder on a pole. You dont have to wait til spring to plant a tree, by the way. If you plant...

Another Plant Growing Up Through a Hydrangea?
Just reach in and pull it out. If it takes a lot of effort, then reach in and cut it down to the ground. Pulling it out by the roots would be the best thing though, so it doesnt send out shoots. Do it soon, before it gets even bigger. The hydrangea should be...

 

Black dog with a white chest and huge stand up ears.

Removing Acrylic from Big Toe?
Not sure why acetone wouldnt work. How about calling a salon that does manicures/pedicures and asking their advice? Should be a simple phone call; Im sure theyd love to offer help.

 

Flower with large stamen.

What is This Plant?
I thought I knew until I saw the flower. But there is a website where you can post pics and ask questions about plants. Check out http://davesgarden.com/

Sticky Primer on Shed Floor?
Even though the rain didnt get directly on the paint, the drying time is still being affected by the humidity in the air. Also, if youre having cool nights after warm days, the humidity in the air condenses on the ground during the night. Your lawn is probably...

Removing Greasy Buildup on Kitchen Cabinets?
Ammonia has always amazed me with its grease-cleaning capabilities. Dilute it, put some gloves on, open a window, and scrub away. Then rinse/wipe it off.

White Flowering Plant for a Cat Memorial?
Its hard to find a perennial flower that blooms for a whole season. You might need to plant a few different flowers that bloom at different times. How about candytuft (blooms mid spring to early summer) and shasta daisies (blooms in summer/late summer). These...

How Can I Keep a Sweet Gum from Dropping Gum Balls?
Thats like asking how do you stop an apple tree from making apples. You could collect some of them off the ground and put them in a bowl as an interesting centerpiece, though.

Setting Up a Simple Budget?
You have to figure out where your money goes. Im not talking about writing down every penny, because Im pretty organized and even I dont like doing that. But a simple what comes in and where it goes kind of list will help you figure it out. You say youre broke...

What Can I Use on Laminate Floors That Won't Streak?
Its very likely the mop youre using. Try using a good absorbent sponge mop, it wont leave streaks of water on the floor. Jilsons idea is also good, will accomplish the same thing, removing the water thats left behind.

Why Do My African Violets Keep Dying?
Could be too much water. I believe the soil has to dry out a bit between waterings (you might want to look that up to confirm it).

I found this at helpwithcooking.com: Fruits and vegetables actually begin to lose valuable vitamins and minerals soon after picking, especially if they are stored at room temperature or above. However, if they are frozen within a few hours after harvesting...

Getting Rid of Refrigerator Odors?
This happened to me too. I absolutely couldnt find the source of the smell. But I noticed the smell began when my boyfriend went to visit his sister for a couple weeks. Apparently, I open the fridge a lot less than he does, and because the fridge door wasnt...

Dealing With Back Pain?
Im hesitant to post a suggestion, because Im not sure what you mean by the disks in her spine move a bit easier than healthy people. But Ill tell you my (short) story. My back would hurt if I stood for awhile, or went shopping (slow-paced walking). I realized...

Puppy is Aggressive When Playing?
Very well said, KansasCindy. In addition, I believe at this point, theyre sorting out who will be the alpha (dominant) dog. Its very important that they consider you the alpha. Watch one or two episodes of The Dog Whisperer to see what I mean.

Painting Walls to Coordinate With Sage Green Furniture?
I also have a large sage-colored couch, and my walls are a taupe-like color. The actual paint color was called weimaraner - like the dog. If you look up that, youll see the color. But I like the idea of light terra cotta!

Couch Color to Coordinate With Olive Walls?
I think chocolate brown would look great with olive green. Just add some different color accents (e.g. throw pillows w/ orange/red color in them) to add some more zing.
