Does your cat love scratching your furniture? Of course. My cat was totally ruining our sofa. I have invested in a scratching post. Finally. I made sure it's higher than the arm of the sofa, about 24" tall, so that he won't revert back to the sofa because he can stretch higher with it. Now I just have to worry about reupholstering the sofa.

What is the most effective way to clean spaces between bathroom tiles? I've tried using toothbrush and soap, but it's still hard to reach all the filth.

Just be sure to keep you cat(s) away from it!

How to clean gas grill ceramic briquettes or lava rocks. Okay, this is the quick lazy method but it works great. Get a plastic or paper shopping bag. Remove the briquettes or rocks from the grill and place them in the bag. Drop the bag on the ground a few times from a foot or two high. This removes 95% of the charcoal residue.. Brush off with a rag and replace on the grill. It saves replacing them and prevents a really messy thorough cleaning or wasting gas burning them clean.

This works better than baking soda and all you do is replace it once in a while with another used filter.




Natural gas is actually odorless. Gas companies will add t-butyl mercaptan, which is a chemical that has a rotten egg smell. It is added purposely so natural gas can be detected by smell.562

Most people can go back so far in their family history by talking to grandparents and other relatives. Tracing the tree as far back as possible is time consuming but can be great fun.

One aspect of life that so many individual home owners and families seem to dismiss without much thought is security. Most likely you trust the walls and doors that surround you in the house you live in. Unfortunately this doesn't exactly mean that you're actually safe inside your house or condo.

The biggest thing you have to think about when you want to get healthy hair is when you get a hair cut or a trim. Some with longer hair go without a cut because they do not want to lose length, but they soon find that their hair does not look as good as it could. A trim every six to eight weeks will get rid of the split ends that are making your hair look bad without taking too much off your length. This may be all that you have to do to see a huge improvement in your hair.
