22 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs6 years agoI put four plugs in one hole in a back car-tire.?
The hole was slightly bigger than anticipated. Air kept leaking out, so I kept putting another in, until I had 4 in there. Is this safe?
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoMy mother died. Was told that in the local paper her home was going up for auction for delinquent property tax. What do I do?
We haven't gotten the succession done yet which would transfer the property in my name. I have less than 2 weeks before this goes up for auction.
I've been living in the house for over 4 years when she remarried and moved out. I would pass her mail on to her. Last year (2013) she received a notice from an envelope marked by the Sheriff's Department. It was to pay her tax property. When I gave it to her, she looked confused and said, "I never had to pay property tax."
She was unable to pay it as she died at the end of last year.
Can I just go to the Sheriff's Department and ask them to drop the delinquent charges so I can pay the original asking amount? Or am I screwed? I'm not paying the delinquent amount. It's unfair since the person that was supposed to pay it has been dead and was unable to.
I'm really confused as to why she suddenly had a property tax notice, because as I said I lived there alone for over 4 years and I never got a property tax notice in the mail until 2013. The mortgage is still being paid off and I don't see an escrow account on the bill which would indicate that the bank who holds the mortgage was paying the property tax. I could be wrong though.
It just felt like a scam to me when I saw that property tax notice in the mail. But now that it's in the paper with about a hundred other houses in a delinquent tax notice, I'm thinking its real.
I'm just baffled why that was the first time my mother got a property tax notice/bill.
9 AnswersUnited States7 years agoSitting bleach. What happens to a small container filled with bleach and mold? I had?
I had some black mold in my window AC unit where the air comes out and I sprayed it with a bleach/water mixture. It has been sitting in there for a week (its been off of course). Does or can mold grow in bleach? What about the mold that was already there?
2 AnswersCleaning & Laundry8 years agoWindow air conditioner: I shot a mixture of bleach and water into the styrofoam vent where the air comes out?
Window air conditioner: I shot a mixture of bleach and water into the styrofoam vent where the air comes out to clean it of this black mold. Now I have water/bleach sitting in there. I have a fan blowing on that air conditioner now. I can't turn it back on because it will just shoot that stuff out like a mud substance.
The reason I did this was because I can't take it out of the window because it took a lot to get it to stay and fit in there. We have the fins on the side nailed in there. Didn't want to have to take it out.
It had that black crap inside the vent and I had 2 instances in the last 3 weeks where I was sick for 24 hours. My suspicion is the black crap in that vent. So I sprayed it down with bleach in desperation. Silly me, I put so much in there, now I have water/bleach with black **** sitting at the bottom of that.
Anyway to fix it with the unit still in the window? I'm guessing the fan I have blowing on it will not evaporate that.
What about a water vacuum? Do you think a (shopvac) will do the job?

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans8 years agoI have a slanket blanket. Whenever it touches the back of my head/hair it really itches (back of my head)?
Why is that? I've scratched until it bled. I have longish hair. Quite similar to my avatar.
I use it all the time, but its when I sit up and place it around my back, it will make contact with my hair and the itching fit will slowly but surely begin. I've even thought I had lice for a while, but its only when I'm around the slanket touching my head that it does that.
1 AnswerSkin Conditions8 years agoI drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla. Suddenly, I sometimes have to press on the brakes to start the car?
I went in a restaurant to pick up food, came back, tried to start the car and nothing happened. After a while of looking under the hood, wondering what the hell is going on, started it by pressing the brake while turning it. Works fine. I've had to do it one more time since. I don't get it. I've driven this car for over 6 years and I've never had to press the brake to start the car.
3 AnswersToyota8 years agoI once delivered food and after the transaction, the bulldog ran to me, jumped up and held onto my leg?
It didn't hump my leg, though I don't know if it would have in time. What did it mean? It had a sad bark when I came to the door and then I walked away and it tricked its owner and ran out the door, grabbing my leg. I thought it was adorable.
2 AnswersOther - Pets8 years agoI input my social security number in a device at Banana Republic?
I wanted to know if my old Banana Republic card was still active and the lady told me to input my SSN into this electronic device to check. I did. There was no record of a card, so it expired. I'm just worried about having put my SSN into a device.
Is this normal? Does the device keep or store my SSN? Its really crazy for the SSN of a customer to be the reference number.
