Can I use a cordless phone as an intercom?
Q. I do not want to hook the phone up to service but just use them as an intercom from upstairs kids bedrooms to the basement master bedroom. Is that possible or do you need to be plugged into a phone line?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. how do you plan on ringing the other phone?
you could use something like this http://www.google.com/products/catalog?rlz=1C1DVCC_enUS360US361&q=viking+phone+line+simulator&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=7614959784538126463&sa=X&ei=EUrcTtr7L8fs0gGR7M3kDQ&ved=0CGsQ8wIwAg

how can I get crayon off my kids bedroom wall?
Q. my kids room is flat painted, and my four year old decided to practice his writting skills. I tried to use a magic eraser but it seems to be taking the paint off but "magically" embedding the crayon further into the paint! WTF! please help. thanks
A. Use the new Mr. Clean Magic Eraser....those things are incredible. I haven't found anything that works quite so well without discoloring the paint or surface you're scrubbing to get the crayon or marker off.
I've got a 4 year old that used to love attacking things with her crayon. We tried everything you could think of. then one day we got one of those little sponge miracles in the mail as a sample and tried it...we were hooked.
Try them out and you'll love it. They work great on refridgerators, tile floors, carpet floors, the couch cushions, the desk, doors, LOL...we took her crayons aways so she started sneaking some home from daycare in her pockets!! LOL

How do I hook up two analog phones together as a toy for my child?
Q. I want to use two of our old telephones as a toy for our daughter and her friends. I want one of the phones to be in her playroom and one to be in her bedroom. This way she and her friends can be in different rooms and have a "real" phone conversation. My father did this for me when I was a child but I cannot remember how he did it. I only remember that he used "D cell" batteries. Does anyone know how to accomplish this and can give detailed directions on how to put the system together? Thanks.
A. This is pretty simple.
You need a stack of at eight D batteries connected in series - we are connecting the phones in series, so each phone will see six volts this way.
You can buy battery holders at Radio Shack that are all set up to connect the cells in series - this means each cell's positive terminal (the tip on the top) goes to the next cell's negative terminal (the flat bottom). This will give you a total of 12 volts.
If there are cords coming out of the phones, they probably include red and green wires - these are your connection points. If the phones have modular jacks, get a modular jack to baseboard adapter - this will have four screw terminals, red, green, black, and yellow. Again you need the red and green points.
If it's an old phone with no wire hanging out and no modular jack, take the cover off and look for a block with a whole bunch of screw terminals on top. This is the "425-B network." Two of the terminals are labeled L1 and L2. These are your connection points. I believe L1 is red and L2 is green, but I couldn't swear to it - anyway it won't matter.
The connections go like this:
From phone 1's red wire to the negative terminal of the battery pack
from the positive terminal of the battery pack to phone 2's green wire
from phone 2's red wire to phone 1's green wire
and that's it.
Yes, that's really all there is.
Except that i may have the polarities reversed; it's been a while - but this matters little (keep reading).
Of course dialing won't work, and the phones won't ring (that takes about 90 volts AC at about 20 Hz), and there will be no dial tone - all that stuff is provided by the central office. Your kids will just have to know to pick up the two phones.
If they're touch tone phones and you want the tones to work, first, the tones will not work unless both phones are off-hook. take both phones off hook and try some buttons on one phone- if the tones don't work, then just reverse its wires (red for green). Do the same test at the other phone. In fact, test both at the same time - if they both don't work, just reverse the connections to the battery.
Conversely if you don't care about the tones, then polarity doesn't matter. In that case polarity doesn't matter; it's just
either wire of phone 1 to one end of the battery pack
the other end of the battery pack to either wire of phone 2
the other wire of phone 2 to the other wire of phone 1
Have fun!

How can i kitten proof my bedroom?
Q. I am going to adopt a kitten this week. She is going to have to stay in my bedroom until she can be de-clawed so she wont scratch all the nice furniture else were. How can i make my bedroom a fun, safe, and comfortable place for her while i am attending school? Please answer asap.
A. How to Kitten Proof Your Home
Kittens home safety tips should be considered almost before you bring home the new kitten. Learn how to kitten proof your home to keep her safe during the first baby-bumbling weeks together.
Think of the fur-kid as trouble waiting to happen. Normal kitten behavior gets these babies in trouble. Kittens poke with paws and knock breakables off tables. They bite and taste toys, toes, and other pets� tails. They dig potted plants, drink from toilets, crawl up the chimney, climb high�and fall far�from dangerous perches. How amazing kittens survive babyhood!
How to Kitten Proof Your Home
Ideally, confine the kitten to a single �safe� room you�ve inspected and stocked with all necessary kitty paraphernalia. But don�t neglect the rest of the house. Invest in kneepads and crawl around to view things at kitten eye-level, to predict and prevent problems, which might entice your furry dynamo.
Stop The Motion
Moving objects lure kittens to bite and play, and chomping a swaying electrical cord or even a telephone cord can kill. Get as many cords out of reach as possible, and immobilize the rest with tape or thread through a length of PVC pipe. Look for other dangerous temptations, such as the cords on Venetian blinds that can tangle or choke kittens.
A great training tool to keep kittens at bay is the nasty tasting bitter apple product available from pet supply stores. Vicks Vapo Rub also works because it smells very off-putting to most pets. Paint bitter apple or Vicks on forbidden objects to keep mouthy pets away.
Bang for Safety
Make a habit of banging on tops of appliances and checking inside before turning on washers, dryers, ovens or dishwashers. Kittens and many adult cats love warm hidey-holes and appliances can become deathtraps. The smell or taste of food left on dishes may lure a youngster inside the dishwasher, and you might close the door without realizing the kitty's inside. A new pet should be confined in a safe room whenever you can�t keep an eagle eye on her antics.
Put Away Plants
Plants and kittens don�t mix. If she can�t climb it, she may shred it, eat it, or empty it onto the floor and either the plant, the kitten, or both may die. Kitten-safe houseplants like coleus, piggyback, jade plant or others should be placed out of reach on high shelves, or hung from hooks. Sticky Paws, a type of double-sided tape product, works well to train kittens and adult cats to keep a respectful distance from forbidden plants. There's one specifically for plants.
Inspect Toys
Check all cat toys before giving them to the new baby. String-type objects and feathers provide lots of chasing fun, but if swallowed, can be lethal. Only play with string, yarn, and other swallow-able toys in supervised games and lock them away when you�re not around. Keep sewing supplies and fishing tackle boxes in secure cupboards. If you have a genius kitten able to open cupboards, invest in some child-proof locks to keep cleaning supplies out of reach. And be sure favorite yarn, ribbon, and fishing pole-type toys are kept out of reach when you can�t be there.
Countertop Cruisers
Make countertops near stoves off-limits, and enforce this rule even when you aren�t cooking. That�s not only a hygienic issue for you; it�s a safety issue for paw pads that easily burn. Physically remove the cat when you catch her in the act. You can cover the counter around the stove with tin foil�cats hate walking on this stuff, and it keeps most cats away. Or, place Sticky Paws on placemats that can be moved around to make it a less attractive perch. An innovative training product called the Ssscat� aerosol gives off a HISSSS of air that trains the cat to scat, when a motion detector triggered by the cat�s presence sets it off. You don�t even have to be present for it to work.
With the right preparation you can ensure your kitten remains angelic and turns away from the dark side that's filled with danger. You'll both be happier.
