By Sheila

Magnetic Bobby Pin Holder - paperclip holder used for bobby pinsI have used this for a long time. I have a magnetic paperclip container, so I changed it to hold my hair pins. It's convenient to use in the bathroom. When I am trying to hold up my hair it is easy to grab a pin. :)

Today's Questions
Repairing Fraying Fabric on Chevy Truck Seat
I purchased a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado truck new and the front driver seat is fraying. The truck has 13,000 miles on it. GM will not cover the repair! How do I fix this?
Cashing the Savings Bonds of a Deceased Parent
My step father died 10 years ago and my mother just died leaving savings bonds in both their names. We just found the bonds in her safety deposit box. The bank says that we have to contact the IRS. From everything I've read here, the bank should be able to handle this, am I wrong?
GFCI Bathroom Outlet Not Working Properly
I have a electrical two socket plug in my bathroom. All the plugs in the bathrooms are on a GF breaker switch in the electrical control box. The bottom socket only has developed a strange issue. If I plug a hair dryer all the way into the plug it stops working. If I then pull it out about 1/16 inch it works.
What Is This Bug?
I found several of these bugs in my bedroom over the last month. No signs of bedbugs on inspection and no bites. Any ideas?
