  • I thought they were called chairs?

    The computer says that I am "on a roll" but I'm sure it's my chair. It's one of those funny ones that you kneel on, with your knees on a pad and butt on a platform, but it's not a roll, for sure. Who's correct?
  • A very weird issue whenever I do my laundry?

    Cleaning & Laundry - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I have been doing my own laundry my laundry since I was about 14 and ever since then I have always had problems. I do the laundry the same way everyone else in the house does and I wear normal clothes, but they continue to only happen to me. My shirts will have ridiculous bleach stains despite the fact that we do not even own bleach. I have done without detergent and this problem still happens. I've switched detergent a million times. What could it be? Then, today, when I pulled my laundry out, there were hundreds, maybe even thousands, of what looked like porcelain/glass/pottery shards in the bottom of my laundry. I do not own anything porcelain so there is no explanation for it. It got in my clothes, and seems to have disintegrated one of my shirts. Only one. Has anyone else ever experienced these issues?
  • Sump pump verus sewage pump.?

    Additional Details

    We have a septic field and a sump pump in our basement. When we purchased this home in Southern Maryland it had a roughed in 1/2 bathroom in the basement too. We are ready to finish it with a shower, toilet and vanity sink. I discovered that the other two bathrooms on the upper floors, go straight to the septic field and not into the sump pump. Presently the only thing that goes into the sump, that is the washing machine discharge. When the sump gets to capacity its pumped up and into a 4" pipe that by gravity is dumped into the septic field. Someone told me that I would need to change out the sump pump and purchase a sewage pump in its place because most sump pumps do not handle solid waste. Is this true?

When i went to windex them tonight the bottom of the glass is totally black,,i thought there was something stuck on it but it's actually behind the glass...i think one of my cats might have peed on there. The glass is smooth ..not on the outside but it actually looks black and streaky. I don't know what happened but it definitely is not coming off. What could it be and what can i do?
