How can I keep roses overnight? I have bought my mother a bouquet of flowers for her birthday tomorrow. They were in a bucket of water in a cold case when I bought them, and I have placed them on their side in the fridge... should I have placed them in water in a vase instead?

A.
they need water and cool. In that order. Cut their stems under standing water (like in a bucket of water) and cut on the diagonal. Smash the new cut end of the stem with a hammer and plunge immediately into water. (Ive heard hot water is best, as it travels up the stem faster - which makes sense, but I am always afraid to do it) Keep them on the floor, on the lowest floor of your house. If you can, put the vase in a fridge, but no cooler than 35º....(Answered by cwstuffff)

Is it more efficient to leave the heat running overnight, or to turn it off and back on in the morning? My work buddy and I are in a debate over this. What saves more energy and money? Turning our store's heat completely off for the nightly 13 hours when no one is here and turning it back on when we return the next morning? Or, leaving it on a low setting throughout the 13 hours and not having to fill the store back up with heat in the morning? ... (Asked by SHERINA)

In the long run, it is cheaper & more cost effective to turn the heat DOWN not off, when the store closes. To turn the heat off,especially in the winter,will cost more. the reason being because #1, you have to bring the heat up each and every morning(to make it comfortable for the customers) & #2, leaving the heat on in the winter will keep some of the liquid stock from freezing & creating a mess which someone WILL have to clean up & will also cost the owner $$ because of the mess....(Answered by tornadol2005)

What would happen if you forgot to switch an iron off and left it running for overnight? Would it start a fire? ... (Asked by dusty)
View Entire Question \| Report Abuse \| Similar Questions \| See it in Y!
A.
Leaving an iron on definately increases the chances of starting a fire! The iron would have to be knocked over or touching something flamable though - like a shirt. I've accidentally left an iron on all day. My house didn't burn down, but I was scared enough to buy an iron that automatically turns itself off (I have a cat and two dogs - YIKES!). Also, an iron uses about the same electricity as 20 lights being left on....(Answered by n8uregal)

A.
When spiders move about looking for a place to set up residence, they always secrete webbing. This is in case they lose grip and fall. They always attach webbing to everything. While we sleep, the air in the home has time to settle and the dust and smoke and all particles have time to settle. These particles gather on the webbing left by the spiders. It is estimated that there are about 10,000 spiders on every acre of ground in the world. Just because you can not see them does not mean they are not there....(Answered by Joseph L)

If you've got a good door gasket you probably can. Try shutting a dollar bill in the door. If it pulls out easily it may leak the cold air in the night and that might not be safe. During power outages I have actually taken package sealing tape and taped the door shut tightly to make up for a leaky, worn gasket and that has worked fine....(Answered by Yankee Doodle Sandy)
