Duckles Chuckles was the category on Monday's Final Jeopardy (they didn't use the correct name). It was possibly the most easily guessable Final Jeopardy question ever; also the contestants looked to be roughly 23.
The song is awesome by the way, but only if you blast it crazy loud. OOOHHHHHH |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I had mushrooms popping up out of my tub/shower grout every so often. I would kill with bleach. Make a long story short, I discovered that the tile had a leak and the tile backer board and wallboard behind that was completely soaked. No other visible evidence, no smell, nothing Suspect that this had been a very slow leak for years. There was significant structural damage as several wall studs were completely GONE - rotted away. The situation was disgusting. Scared the H*ll outta me. To remove all traces of the problem I took the ENTIRE ROOM out including the subfloor all the way to the dirt and rebuilt completely, all new lumber, scrubbed every surface with full strength bleach, changed ALL plumbing pipes, even bleached the dirt underneath to kill everything possible. If you have this problem don't let it go, get it inspected. If you do have to rebuild your shower look into a product called KERDI. It is one of the best and most reliable waterproofing materials available, it goes under the tile. I used KERDI and also gave up on tile, put in slab granite instead so that there would only be seams at the corners which are tight seams sealed up with 100% pure silicone not leaky crappy grout or cheap caulk. The KERDI is overkill for granite walls but that is fine with me. Everything done strictly by the directions. No expense is too much in this case. If you have to rebuild and you look at what may be under there you WILL agree. Please don't let it go - mushrooms mean water & fungus and that means serious damage and possible heath issues. Not to cause a panic but it's very possible you have a big problem like I did. I thank my lucky stars no one got sick and now it's ALL CLEAN. P.S. it's about a leak, no reflection on your housekeeping skills. |

thanks for the suggestions! Buying the Calcium Chloride is a good plan. Always nice to save some money. |

Just to add - calcium chloride is the main ingredient in any dehumidifier. When you buy the calcium chloride you are basically *taking out the middle man* of the dehumidifier.
At first you should turn up the heat on the heater as high as it can go to dry the place out as much as you can. |

Thank goodness for this thread. Here we are in Vancouver (yes, during the 2010 Olympics) what the world watching us does not know is that housing prices have grown so much in this city that it took us 3 years to find suitable housing for our family. The place is older but well fixed up except that in the bathroom there is no ventilation. It is not a shock, then to find mushrooms in the bathroom in February. I found the mushrooms and got really sick afterward. Make sure that you wash your hands after you find the mushrooms. Use toilet paper or paper towel to take them off and flush them. A face mask is also a great idea. I wish I knew that 2 days ago when I found the mushrooms. I could not figure out why I was both throwing up sick and sick with a cold. It was obviously the mushrooms. After reading this thread, here is my solution.
1. We have to talk to the landlord to take him up on his offer of a fan. There is no getting around that.
2. I have brought in the portable electric heater to raise the temperature in the bathroom.
3. I have purchased MOISTURE MAGNET from Home Hardware for 35 dollars. I have used both of the calcium chloride filled sacs and put them on shelving 6 feet off the ground so that my toddler cannot reach them. I read up on calcium chloride - it absorbs moisture and is used in small amounts in some food. However, do not touch the dust or let children near it because it reacts exothermically - meaning it will heat up instantly to a very high temperature when it touches any kind of water. In the Moisture Magnet, the calcium chloride is packaged in fine cheesecloth so it is safe as long as children do no touch it.
4. I scrubbed the area where there was any mold or mushrooms with a household cleanser and a toothbrush.
5. I sprayed on a product called MOLD CONTROL also from Home Hardware - following the directions on the bottle.
I will be keeping my receipts for my landlord. If I was really on it I would have photographed the mold / mushrooms.
You can attach the photographs to an e-mail, explaining when you found them and the steps that you have taken and e-mail it to your landlord. If the language is simple and legal, they will understand that you are keeping records. This may help them to act quickly. |

I just bought a hundred year old house that has been refinished. 2 days ago I discovered the mushrooms in the picture above growing in the corner of my basement through the carpet. I've gone through all of the emotions, first I was grossed out, then it was pretty funny, then it was disappointing they aren't the 'fun' kind, now concern that I may have a really big issue. I live in Portland and many old basements aren't completely dry. The carpet feels very slightly damp to the touch and there isn't water damage on the wall I'm wondering if I de-humidifier would do the trick. Anyone have the same type of issue and have some suggestions? |

The C language Standard (C99) says:
"The fread function returns the number of elements successfully read, which may be less than nmemb if a read error or end-of-file is encountered. If size or nmemb is zero, fread returns zero and the contents of the array and the state of the stream remain unchanged."
So the "UNIX C library" works that way because if it didn't it would be broken. Any recent C implementation must work like this because that is what the C standard requires, at least since 1999.
Another point here is that the fread() is defined to read into an array of objects where the size parameter gives the size of each object. C defines the term object (not like an OO object, in C is is roughly a thing that can store values). An object as C defines it cannot have zero size so passing 0 for the size parameter is best viewed as an error. |

I prefer the "alternate reality" explanation. |

Scott, yeah... That's the one I was thinking of. Sometimes we write a lyric, and then do fact-checking, and then decide we don't care that it's not true... |

Loved readin all the comments, i have just found the pasta shell type in my toilet. We hav had a bad leak from the flat upstair for a while now, not nice cant use the toilet light an hav 2 sit sideways in fear of being dripped on. Called wandsworth council a number of times about many problems, but no help from them all we get is workers takeing photos! Wasnt to concerned with the leak as these things happen but its now been ages since it started an water is stil dripping, we hav a grose brown gunk on the ceiling an running down the wall. Not nice the only way i can describe it is like shit. Im not saying im a clean freak but i dont live like a tramp. This is beyond discusting. An now 2 make it worse iv got a cluster of PASTA SHELL Like mushrooms growing out the wet soggy brown like substance. I realy wan2 clean this but an sacred already tried takin of wallpaper 2 fighs brown stuf but it didnt help. An now the mushrooms. Lets just hope the council fixes the leak as im not convinced they hav. And then solve t |

Adhesion, your comment is spot-on. I agree wholeheartedly. |

Alas, Hamilton was actually shot in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr-Hamilton_duel">Weehawken, New Jersey</a>. (I can't remember if your comment form allows HTML; if not, how embarrassing for me.) I looked it up because most DC residents aren't going to have driveways, so I wondered if they dueled in the suburbs or what.
Aside from that, your take on Duckles Chuckles as being full of 23-year-old graduate students is depressingly accurate, at least based on the group houses I visited before finding my current digs. I try to find fun people who are into music and avoid the boring side of the city as much as possible! What did Mr. & Mrs. Magill come to the capital of the free world to do? |

I have a perfect level but it will require this:
Suggestions : BullyBot : Bully bots move in a pattern (clockwise and counter) the cant pass through teleports but they can kill you.
Switch Player Mode ; you have to switch characters by pressing a keyboard button. The players both have to find different exits to win.
--------
This is not what my place requires but it would be good.
Double Mode : Play escap e with a person directly from escape to play with you.
---------
This DOES NOT envolve the escape.exe bug. |

i think so but im not sure. but its made by Emachines |
