My dryer was not heating because the element broke or burned out. I took the dryer apart and found two spots in the element that it broke. Can I fuse the element back together or use a small clamp or weld or anything to make it work again? I am a cheapass, I know but I would like to fix it without buying a new element. Let me know if it is possible, how to best do the connection, and/or if it is completely dangerous or fire hazard, or what your experience is with trying to repair heating elements.

I currently have $22,000 in a 401k I contribute $3,000 per year + a gain of $100 per year in addition. I am agresively invested, Historically I gained roughly 7.5% over the last couple years. What is a realistic % gain in the market? What should I have as a goal as for as how much should I plan to have at retirement in 30 years from now? Is there any way to plan on the value of my retirement? What will one million dollars buy 30 years from now?

She won't let me break it off or else she says she will kill herself, I can't deal with that. She wants to be with me forever after she leaves her husband but it has been four years. I am atracted to other women but I can't cheat, I want it over.

Knats or fruit-flies have invaded my home and the are flying all over, especially in the kitchen. I have cleaned well but don't want to spray deadly chemicals in my kitchen. What can I do?
