Baby Poo on Upholstery?My wonderful son, who is theoretically being potty-trained, had a messy diaper and wiped it all over one of our upholstered chair. Any ideas how to clean it?

Blister Beetles on Tomato Plants?For the second year we are having a problem with blister beetles on our tomato plants. Last year they were pretty much confined to the tomatoes and we treated with pesticides. This year they seem to have spread. I just saw them on plants on the other side of the house.
Uses For Florist Vases?Does anybody have any ideas what to do with the standard bud vases you get flowers in from the florist?

Inexpensive Ideas For Entertaining Toddlers?I recently became a stay-at-home mom of a 2 1/2-year old and a 5-month old. I'm looking for inexpensive things to do with them, especially things my 2-year-old can do with other kids.
We've already done things like a color and shape search at the store, but it's getting too cold to go to the park.

Dog Keeps Escaping Fenced Yard?We recently adopted an approximately 2 year old neutered male miniature Australian Shepherd. I am about at my wit's end with him!
Refilling Scented Oil Warmers?We inherited several of the plug-in scented oil warmers (ours are Airwick) when we bought our house. I would like to use them, but the refills are so expensive and they only come in a few scents. Does anybody have any ideas on how to refill the little bottles, or even if you can?

Getting Rid Of Wild Grape Vines?We have a flower bed that has been sorely neglected. Elm seedlings and wild grapes have invaded. There are still some desirable plants - some Japanese dwarf iris that haven't bloomed for a couple of years
Corrosion on Stainless Steel?My dear husband filled my stainless steel stockpot with water for the cat while we were gone for the weekend. Now, there's a white, crumbly corrosion around the rivets that join the handle to the stockpot. I've cleaned it off, but my question is this: Is it still okay to use the pot for cooking food? If not, what else can I do with it (short of throwing it away). It's not my best stockpot, but it's still a nice pot.

Adjusting the Float in the Toilet?I need help troubleshooting our toilet. About a month ago, I had to replace most of the interior mechanisms of the toilet after the old ball float arm broke in two places, including the top of the valve.
