I have a beta fish in a 5 gallon tank. Once a month I change about 1/3 of the water and suction clean the rocks and clean the glass of any algae.. When I change the water I put in a pinch of aquarium salt in the clean water. My question is should I do this every time? Does the salt evaporate or will it build up. I was told putting in the salt will help against fin rot. I do a complete change and clean the rocks every 6-8 months, is this enough?

I loaded the "on screen keyboard" from windows 7. I had it for a while on my screen when I turned on my computer and it was working good. I went to msn and was using the on screen keyboard and I got a message that is stopped working and windows was going to find a solution, now I can't get it back. Any help would be appreciated to get it back so it works on msn and e-mail. I can load it from the help section but it won't work on msn search. I need to be able to it is installed into window as a shortcut.

Can I insulate an outside wall without removing the old gyprox. I'd like to put up some 2x2's, put in insulation, a vapour barrier and new drywall without removing the drywall that is already there. Is this possible or will moisture form on the outside wall?

My friend changed her baby on my new loveseat and got some poo on the cushion. She tried to wipe it up with baby wipes, which just spread it more. I have tried baking soda and vacuuming but the smell is still there. Is there is anything I can do. The cusions are part of the couch and can't be taken off. Any other products or even home remedies (which sometimes are the best) that I can put on to get rid of that smell. Yes our friendship is down the toilet so to speak..

I was told you can make a propane burner out of copper pipe if the holes are drilled he proper size. My question: what type of solder would you use for the supply hose connection? It seems to me that there is quite a bit of pressure and heat at that point and solder wouldn't hold.

When hooking the wires to a light switch or wall socket, except for the green going to ground, does it matter what terminal the other wires go on or does the other 2 wires have to be put on a special terminal?

Which is the better of these products--t-fal or Lagostina Casa Mia cookware? Any feedback would be appreciated...

I have a border collie/cocker spaniel mix that is 7 years old. She loves to go for car rides but when we do she shakes real bad and I am worried she will have a heart attack. I have tried petting and making a big fuss over her and treats but she still shakes. She always has shaken a bit in the car but it seems to be getting worse. I always have water for her and some food.

I had 2 male finches in a large cage and over the period of 4 months one finch killed the other. My question if I put the male finch in a large cage with a female cocatiel will they get along?

Can I use some brand of tv antennae to pick up tv stations in Sask. Can. without hooking up cable. I have heard of an antennae called " buy view digital antennae". Are they available in Canada and are they any good??

Due to old age and arthritis I want to bring my washer and dryer from the basement to the main floor.. Hooking up the washer won't be a prob. My question is - can I vent my dryer into the basement or do I have to vent it outdoors. I'd have to put in about 15 feet of vent pipe along the ceiling which would look like crap because the basement is finished. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The vent would go straight down into the furnise room.

I don't know if it is coincidence or ?? but since I signed unto bing for search engine I keep getting a pop up for a research or free coupons. All it asks is 3 questions then nothing but a commercial for bidding on products. How can I stop these popups? They are very annoying

I am going to lay some new lino in my bathroom. I will be laying a 3/8" subfloor first. What will I have to do to allow for this extra thickness to seal the toilet or will the wax gasket allow for it??

What is better to use for a subfloor in a bathroom OSB or Plywood.. If OSB what side should be facing up the smooth side or the rough side, and what thickness, would 3/8 be thick enough? I will be using lino for a covering.

I don't know if anyone has tried this--I bought a ford van which doesn't have power windows. I am disabled on my left side and cranking a window is almost impossible. What I would like to do is get a 12 volt reversible motor and hook it somehow to the gear where the crank handle is. Even if I had to screw it to the outside of the door would be ok. It would have to be a slow rpm motor and powerful enough to crank the window up and down. Has anyone run into any of these type of motors. Any help would be appreciated. This is an older van and getting the proper crank isn't available, plus I probably wouldn't be able to instal it.

what is a good replacement for GOOGLE on windows 7

I have a ford ranger- the firing order is 1-4-3-2. Compression, wires, plugs all new. If I have the wires on right the engine backfires and won't run, if I reverse #3 & #4 wires the engine runs but misses. Help, why is it doing this? Could it be the timing belt, how do I check if the belt has slipped? It has been parked for a few months.

I have a 1991 leBaron convertible, what is good for cleaning the top--will ordinary soap and water with a brush work? There was a lot of slush with salt on the roads and I'd like to get it cleaned off. The local car wash did not bad a job but I'd like it a lot cleaner.

I forward a lot of e-mail messages to several people at a time and was told if I used the cc box on e-mail it would make things a lot easier for me but could not tell me how--can someone claify this for me. Thanks for any help.
