Crispy Garlic Parmesan Asparagus

By attosa

finished Crispy Garlic Parmesan AsparagusThis is such a fabulous asparagus recipe for many reasons. Besides it tasting absolutely divine, it's a cinch to put together and will not go floppy on you. Just pop it in the oven, remove in 8 minutes, and you'll have a perfectly cooked, crisp side dish.

Cross Stitch Patterns for Crochet

By Sandy

Cross Stitch Patterns for CrochetTired of looking for crochet patterns in all the same places? I found cross stitch patterns are very easy to use. Each square is a single crochet. When changing colors, just place the one you aren't using on top of previous row and crochet over it until you need the color again.

One Dollar Bill for Emergency Measurements

By rbeard729

A dollar bill next to a measuring tape showing six inches.I've done this many times and it will work in a pinch. A dollar bill measures barely much over 6 inches of length. When a measuring tape or ruler is not within reach, a 6 inch dollar bill can give you a close figure. Fold in half, and it would be 3 inches. It is kind of handy to measure lengths of nails, bolts, screws, etc. It's not as precise as a tape measure, but will work.

Dead Animal Smell in House at Night
I have a terrible odor that comes at night and remains until morning. It smells like a dead animal. But it's been going on for months. It's the bedroom next to the bathroom. The bathroom sink is vented. It seems better when I leave the windows shut and have the AC on. I live in Florida and have city sewer.

2010 Craftsman LT2000 Riding Mower Won't Start
I have a 2010 Craftsman LT2000 riding mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It will not start. When I turn the ignition it either clicks a bunch of times or spins once or twice, but doesn't turn over. I replaced the spark plug, adjusted the valves, got a new battery, and it still won't start. I did notice that it is slowly leaking gas somewhere.
