  • Gazania flowers dying? :(?

    So, I have 2 flower planters that sit on my balcony filled with Gazanias I potted from Home Depot.

    I water them daily (they are in a planter where you put the water in the bottom and I just put a little more in once it gets bone dry)

    They get the most sun during the afternoon, they are facing the west. I also live in Arizona so the temps lately have been getting to the mid 90s.

    When I first got them, they had a couple blooms and after repotting them more and more bloomed it was so pretty! Then a couple weeks later they're like all dead now :( The plant still seems to be in pretty good condition but the flowers are now all crispy and dead and no new ones are blooming anymore.

    I was just wondering if this is normal? Or am I doing something wrong and if so how can I fix it??

    Thanks in advance!

  • How to get the discoloration out of my carpet from cat pee?

    Okay, so I have been researching and researching on how to do this and have tried a million things so far but nothing has really worked..

    The cat pee was dried, and who knows how old but I've got like 99% of the smell out and everything I keep finding is either for fresh cat pee or just how to get rid of the smell but that's not my problem, my problem is the yellow color that I can't seem to get to go away.

    Things I've tried:

    *I have a Bissell heat carpet cleaner that I used on it

    *Woolite OxyDeep carpet cleaner

    *Resolve "Pet Stains" carpet cleaner

    *white vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide

    *color safe bleach

    *even a magic eraser...haha

    The stain has lighten up a bit, but still a pretty noticeable yellow. I live in an apartment so I have cheap, light beige colored carpet. Any ideas?? I'm getting desperate..haha

    Thanks in advance!

  • How should I get my hair cut?

    Okay so first off, I know the picture is dumb but it's the most recent one I had haha

    My hair is naturally really wavy to curly. (The picture is after I had brushed it out when it was curly) but I do straighten it often. I used to always cut my hair with some kind of side bangs but as you can see I've been kinda growing them out because I'm sick of it. And also, I have a really stubborn part since I've had it pretty much my whole life, but if anyone has any suggestions to fix that, by all means let me know.

    I'm looking for something new and something that will look good on me. Most hair dressers I go to never really give me their opinion and I want someone who knows what they're talking about to tell me what will look good on me haha

    Thanks in advance!

  • How is this painting done?

    So I've been getting more and more into painting but I'm still kind of a beginner at it, so please explain simply :)

    I saw this painting online and absolutely love it. I was wondering if any experienced painters out there could tell me the methods they used to to make this kind of painting? It said it was done with acrylics but didn't really get into how it was done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Bella from New Moon's hair color?

    Okay so I know that's like an auburnish color but I'm looking for someone who can give me the easiest way to get her color by doing it myself. Like out of a box, or maybe go to Sally's or something. Also, do you think that I should do the underneath like a darker shade? Cause that's kinda what it looked like hers was to me but I wasn't sure. Thanks! :)

  • Why did my stomach hurt...?

    A couple days ago I ate a hamburger and it was the first red meat I'd had in like maybe a couple months (The only meat I've been really eating lately is chicken). Then after wards my stomach hurt really bad. Could this have anything to do with not having red meat in a while? Like it was having a hard time digesting it? Thanks :)

  • What are some good charities to volunteer for around Christmas?

    I just moved out on my own and am in college so I don't have a lot of money to donate this year (even though I do plan on at least adopting one child from the angel tree) but I can still definitely give my time and effort. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any charities that need a lot of volunteers and what not? Maybe not ones that are really religious because I'm not really at all..haha

    Thanks in advance :)

  • How am I going to file taxes?

    Okay, so I just turned 18 a week ago (I don't know if that matters or not) but I have had a part-time job all of 2008 and had taxes taken out of my paychecks and just received my W2.

    My parents still claim me on their taxes, so I filed as exempt.

    Am I going to get any money back from my taxes? If so, how are my parents going to put in my W2 when they file or whatever it is they need to do?

    Thanks in advance :)

  • How do I uninstall Windows 98?

    Ok so I got a new hard drive and lost my gateway restore disk. So my friend gave me a Windows 98 and XP that he had and didn't need. I installed the 98 (which now I know I shoudn't have) instead of just installing the XP on accident. Now since my computer doesnt have any of the drivers or anything when I put in the Windows XP disk the computer won't recognize it at all and when I got into the add/remove programs it won't allow me to uninstall the 98 one. Any help?

    Thanks :)
