It happens when I’m laying on my bed and my eyes feel grainy that I see a model walking down the runway and I quickly sketch the clothes.
I have a sketch book with close to 1000 sketches.

How to get rid of bedbugs in your clothes?

My husband and I went on a vacation and slept over at one of his relatives’ house. During my stay, I had lots of bedbug bites all over my body and I think we might have brought some of them home through our clothes. Can soaking our clothes in laundry detergent overnight kill them? I heard it’s very hard to get rid of them, especially their eggs. :( I’m frustrated because I’m itching all over from their bites.

i live in canada, but only about an hour away from niagara falls, so the canada/us border is super close to me so its really to just go over shopping, which i do a lot for clothes and stuff lol

but im starting university in september and i cant find a comforter that love that matches the colour theme i want to do in my dorm room so my mom was gonna bring me to the states in a couple days to look there for one

so where should i check??
i know bed bath & beyond, jcpenny and target, but are there any other stores that would sell stuff like this? and since i can only go within like an hour of niagara falls, please try to list big stores like these that are pretty much everywhere or are common in malls as theres a pretty good mall close to the border

thanks so much:)

We found out we had bed bugs pretty quickly. We got an exterminator and he will come every 2 weeks a total of 3 more times. In the meantime, I have washed linens, clothes, etc. in hot water and bleach or ammonia and in hot dry. We’ve been fine up until this morning when I woke up with a huge bite on my arm. I am going to wash the linens on the futon (we moved into the LR) and the clothes that are sitting out, but should I be washing my clothes and stuff every 3 days? I know I am vacuuming a lot. anyone have any ideas?

Should I work at TJ Maxx or Bed Bath and Beyond?

Hello everyone! I’m 16 and I’m starting to get serious about getting a summer job to make some money! There’s a TJ Maxx and Bed Bath and Beyond near me and I have no idea which one I should apply to. They both have job openings and I’m going to apply. I hear that Bed Bath and Beyond has better pay and they train you but I think that the employee discounts that TJ Maxx has would be more applicable to me because I like clothes more than house decor. I also need flexible hours because I play AAU basketball and we have competitions on the weekends. Thanks in advance!
I also applied to Gamestop today too and I love video games! So now it’s either TJ Maxx, Bed Bath and Beyond, or Gamestop?

I’m having trouble picturing furinture in empty bedrooms.

What size bedroom (LxW) is ideal for a queen size bed and standard, 4 piece bedroom furniture set. Let’s say: a queen size bed, 1 normal, square nightstand, a double sided drawer dresser, and a chest.

Like this:

In a room, say 13×11 will all that fit with room to move around or will you be rolling out of bed bumping into the dresser because it’s just one foot from the bed? And so forth?

Like this:

http://www.thebedroomsets.com/product/lo…

This set is the most traditional in size and look with the drawer handles.

The way I see it, that bed is going to take up a 13×11 room and a nightstand will fit but the dresser and chest have no space in the room OR they will fit but it will be literally RIGHT next to the bedroom, half a foot away.

Am I crazy or will all this fit comfortably and if you need to get up to go to the bathroom you’re not bumping into furniture because it’s all crammed?
The dresser will be used for clothes and the counter top for jewelry and perfume and stuff.

The chest top will be used as a TV stand because a regular TV stand is useless. With the chest, you have drawers for extra clothes and stuff.

The duvet is nice and warm, however over time, I have noticed that my room is covered in little down feathers. They get on my clothes and sheets, and are just a menace. Is there something like a duvet cover that has small enough and strong enough pores to not let feathers through? Or am I better off getting a new synthetic one?

We thought we had them all gone, then. In our newly refurbished room, painted walls, nice new carpet, and a new air mattress, a creepy crawly bed bug was crawling upon a blanket.

Now I have the heebie jeebies, feeling like I’m being bit up, I’ve looked through my clothes, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a bug to be in my clothes right now. Plus I changed into clothes that weren’t in the affected room. Paranoia is kicking in.

However, this is not my concern right now. We went to a garden nursery, asking them if diatomaceous earth kills bed bugs, is it safe, etc. They all said yes. But we have amorphous diatomaceous earth, the same stuff they said is safe. Is is truly safe? It is amorphous diatomaceous earth in the form of fresh water?

We want to sleep in our air bed, but we are afraid of inhaling this dust.

What can we do? Can you guys help to tell if it safe? Thank you.

What to buy for college?




I started making a list of the things I need and have about nothing. I got linenes, collapsible clothes hamper, shower stuff, any other things? Necessities? I know there have been forums like this, but none to answer this exact situation.

What is the point of making your bed?




Making your bed, in my opinion, servers absolutely zero purpose since you’re just going to mess it up again anyway. I can understand making your bed if you’re having a "friend" over and you want to impress them or if you’re having some kind of open house or something, but if it’s just you and your family in the privacy of your own home, what is the point of making your bed?
@YOU JUST LOST THE GAME: Couldn’t bugs still crawl under the covers, though?
Freedom says: "If you are going to take that attitude about making the bed, then why not take the same attitude about everything else. Why bother washing the dishes if you’re just going to get them dirty again…same with your clothes."

This is probably the worst logic I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Have you ever heard of bacteria? Well, that stuff likes to live on dirty plates with food residue, hence why we wash our dishes. You may as well throw in another badly-played analogy and ask why we should bother bathing when we’re just going to get dirty again. Now, after you’ve through about your idiotic analogy, you can ask yourself if your bed collects bacteria and other nasties when you leave it unmade.

My son has poison sumac. I have washed all his linenes, towels, clothes reguarly. I am concerned that the oils may be on our sofa. How do you clean these oils out of the fabric on furniture?

I am curious to find out if ‘they’ have created anyways yet to ‘wash’ clothes without a water plug/hook-up in an apartment with no W/D in unit (and busy laundry rooms)? Drying is easy; but washing?? anyone have any tips besides moving? lol.
Thanks to those that have replied; does anyone know any brands/makes that have what you all described – a washer through the kitchen sink? I need a visual. Thanks very much.

To get ride of spiders, I used Hot Shot Fogger in our apartment. We are afraid that we have to wash all of our clothes in the closets. Our closet doors are slotted – meaning that have cracks all the way down. Since the fogger could have gotten in, do we need to wash EVERYTHING? Does the fogger mist dissipate or dissolve eventually?
