Do babies need sunglasses?
Fri, Sep 09 2011 at 10:16 AM
Those cute shades are more than just a fashion statement, provided that they block ultraviolet rays.
How is tap water treated, and what causes a boil-water advisory?
Fri, Sep 02 2011 at 10:28 AM
There's nothing like a hurricane or power outage to make you appreciate the basic things. Like tap water.
What happens to roadkill?
Fri, Aug 26 2011 at 10:20 AM
Those ill-fated armadillos, deer, squirrels and possums could be removed by government workers, or left to let nature take its course.
What's the best temperature to set the air conditioner when no one is home?
Fri, Aug 19 2011 at 10:04 AM
The only time you need to run the AC is when someone is home to enjoy it.
Is there such a thing as a hypoallergenic dog?
Fri, Aug 12 2011 at 10:06 AM
No dog or cat is 100 percent allergen-free, but certain breeds are less likely to make you sneeze. A HEPA filter goes a long way in combating allergies, too.
Can breast pumps be recycled?
Fri, Aug 05 2011 at 9:54 AM
Read this before you drop $300 on a device you may end up not using.
How can I spend less money doing laundry?
Fri, Jul 29 2011 at 10:27 AM
For starters, upgrade those washers and dryers and hang out a clothesline.
What can I do with old socks?
Fri, Jul 22 2011 at 10:57 AM
When they have too many holes or their mates get lost in the laundry, socks still have a few uses beyond covering your feet.
What ever happened to phone books?
Fri, Jul 15 2011 at 10:30 AM
The publishers say phone books are still needed in some rural areas. But for those of us with Internet access? Not so much.
Which is more efficient for freight: Truck or train?
Fri, Jul 08 2011 at 10:28 AM
One of these modes of transport can move 1 ton of freight about 484 miles on one gallon of fuel. Guess which.

Chanie Kirschner has spent most of her journalism career writing advice columns -- to the lovelorn, to aspiring fashionistas, to pregnant soon-to-be mommas. And now she's giving advice to you, the environmentally-conscious but curious. So send her your quandaries -- she’s sure to give you exactly what you’re looking for … or at least something close to what you’re looking for … or at least something.
 
Chanie -- who loves Reeses' peanut butter cups, a good chick flick, country music, and of course, giving advice -- lives in New Jersey with her husband Michael, and their baby Jakie. She’s also the future author of the book, Chanie’s Guide to Everything.
