Question: How to alter bed sheets I recently traded in a full size bed for the smaller sized twin. I have a lot of full size sheet sets that are in good condition and hate to spend money on new sheets for the twin bed.

Question: Burnt on fudge My husband bought a brand new aluminunware mixing bowl ($30 to $50 range). He used it as a double boiler to make some fudge for the holidays and burnt the bottom of the bowl. I have tried salt, skoof, fume free, s.o.s., baking soda, salt and I think that is it. But there is still an amount on the bottom that I cannot get off and I think it would somehow affect the taste of things made in it. Someone suggested vinegar but then I read that it is not a good solution. Does anyone have a solution? Thank You, Patty bigcarver8342@chartermi.net  (Ref:0604)

Question: Cat Litter Mess I keep my cat's litter box in one of the corners of the bathroom, the one near the door. Everytime she uses the litter box, the litter gets all over the place and as people walk in and out of the bathroom, the litter gets spread through out our small apartment. Is there a way to keep the litter in the box and not all over my apartment? -- ladyk137@earthlink.net  (Ref:0606)
