7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDog got sparayed by a skunk - how do i deodorize his leather collar?
I deodorized the dog with baking soda and peroxide followed by a shampoo with great results, but i don't know what to use on his leather spiked collar. Should i use a similar mix?

4 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoI dropped my digital camera in water - help!?
It's a kodak easy share - was taking pictures at a fire scene and it fell lens side down into a shallow pool of water. I took it out right away and dried the surface and shortly afterward took out the battery, and popped open the front cover. It looks pretty dry but the lenses are definitely foggy. I have it sitting in the sun right now. Am I screwed?? Have not turned it on yet.

7 AnswersGreen Living1 decade agoMy African Violet plant went brown over the weekend.?
It's a concord blue - streptocarpella for you plant people. And it looked like it was doing great. I watered it before I left Friday and when i came back into work it was all brown and dead looking. I should note that my office is usually extremely hot - around 90 degrees. Could it have gotten too hot over the weekend? Or maybe it was the opposite -the heat was off and it got too cold??
I trimmed most of the brown stuff off and am left with a sad looking plant. Is there any way I can revive it? Any ideas on what happened so I can prevent it?
