Jot Down Expected Deliveries

By 15mhhm15

Deliveries noted on a monthly calendarI recently experienced a couple of lost deliveries which was extremely disappointing and frustrating not to mention lots of time wasted! I had to be on the phone with the company I purchased from, delivery service as well as my credit card company. All together I spent over 5 hours of my time being placed on hold, switched to different departments and finally was able to dispute the charges. Not only did it take a big chunk of my time, but over a weeks course to resolve everything!

Today's Questions
Stain Removal Science Fair Project
I'm doing the same project for my science fair, about removing stains on clothing. I am using red Powerade? Does red Powerade stain more than blue Powerade or coffee and soda (Coke)?
Finding the End of a Roll of Plastic Wrap
I buy good plastic wrap. I never buy the cheap stuff. Even the good stuff, which costs a bit more, can be aggravating to me as heck! It seems inevitable that after I've used it for a while, I lose the end of it and once I do that, I find it very, very frustrating to find the end again.
Sunbeam Bread Maker Won't Start
This is the first time I tried to use my Sunbeam Breakfast bread maker, model 5891. It won't start. Error LLL.
Towel Stuck to the Finish on a Dresser Top
My kids put a dresser in a hot storage unit with a towel on the top of it, then a heavy table on top of that. After 6 months, when separated, there is towel fuzz stuck to the dresser top that I can't remove. Any thoughts on repairing the dresser?
Value of a Magnavox Record Player
I have a Magnavox record player model 1p3463. Any ideas on its value?
