Q: Plunge the water in the bowl. Use a towel to soak up any remaining water. Acidic toilet bowl cleaners can damage your skin. Be careful not to let these chemicals touch your skin. Acidic toilet bowl cleaners can damage bathroom surfaces, including tile. You should have a rag on hand to pick it up immediately if any spills or splashes. This chemical is sometimes listed on labels as hydrogen chloride, HCL or muriatic acid. It can be found in products like The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner or Santeen Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Be careful not to mix these solutions with bleach. The mixture can create a dangerous poisonous gas. Many in-tank cleaners use bleach. If you have an in-tank cleaner, remove it and flush several times to rid the toilet of any bleach residue. Use a toilet brush that has nylon bristles to gently rub the cleaner into the hard water spots. Do not rub too hard or you might splatter the cleaner all over the bathroom. This can damage other surfaces. Once you have picked up the hard water spots, flush. These chemicals are abrasive and should not sit around in bathroom longer than is necessary.
A: Dry the bowl. Put on gloves and a plastic apron. Keep a wet rag on hand. Apply a cleaner with diluted hydrochloric acid to the bowl. Rub the toilet gently with a toilet brush. Flush immediately after cleaning.

Q: If talking to your neighbor doesn't work, or if you want to avoiding having a face-to-face conversation altogether, you may need to be prepared to involve the authorities, whether that be the local police, your landlord, or building management. Before you contact them, you'll need to know that your neighbors really are being excessively loud. Most cities and counties have noise ordinances that outline what acceptable noise levels are, and many also indicate "quiet hours". These vary from place to place, so you'll want to research the specific rules that apply to your location. You can do this by going to your county or city's website or your local courthouse. Many libraries also have references available on this topic. If you live in a neighbor with a Homeowner's Association or in a rental complex, then the contract, lease, or agreement you signed upon moving in most likely contains a noise clause. Consult this document to verify that your neighbors are in violation of it before proceeding to report them. Some towns/counties have special ordinances about dogs. If your noise issue involves a barking dog, you should research your town's ordinances to see if special rules apply. Before you contact the police or management, it's ideal if you can try to sort things out with your neighbors (of course, we understand that this is not always possible). If possible, provide your neighbors with a copy of the noise ordinances or the appropriate contract or housing agreement that they also signed upon moving in. You can do this in person or send it to them by mail. This will remind them of the rules and will serve as a warning to them. Indicate to them that if their noise is not reduced, your next step will be to report them to the authorities. If your neighbors do not respond and the on-going problem continues, or even if this is only the first time noise has been a problem but it is out-of-control, you should contact either the local police or your housing management. You should reserve calling the police for more extreme or on-going instances of noise. Choose this option if the problem has been ongoing and your neighbors have not been receptive to your polite requests and when you are not able to first go to a landlord or Homeowner's Association. Call the police anytime that the situation looks dangerous or if you suspect that the noise is due to domestic violence or illegal activities. It's very important that you not put yourself in danger, and it's also important that you do what you can to help others that you think may be at risk. If you do call the police, try to call when the noise issue is ongoing. There will be a better chance that your neighbor will be caught "in the act" and will be warned, given a citation, etc. Contact your landlord, building management, or the Homeowner's Association for noise problems that are less severe yet still a nuisance. If your problem involves your neighbor's barking dog, you may want to call Animal Control as opposed to the police (assuming that you haven't been able to work it out with your neighbor already). As a very last resort, you can consider filing a lawsuit against your neighbor. Think carefully about this, for you don't want to get into a war with your neighbor, but sometimes this can be the best motivator to get your neighbor to respect your rights. You may choose to sue either in small claims court, where you can receive money damages. If you are hoping to have a judge issue a cease-and-desist order to your neighbor, you'll have to file in civil court, and will need to hire a lawyer.
A: Research local noise ordinances. Remind your neighbors of the noise rules. Contact the authorities. File a lawsuit.

Q: Under Texas law, at least one party to the divorce must have resided in Texas for at least six months prior to the filing of the divorce. In addition, either you or your spouse must have lived in the county where you file for 90 days prior to the date of filing. Also, a divorce in Texas cannot be finalized if the wife is pregnant. If your wife is pregnant, be sure to keep this in mind. In Texas, you can file for divorce with or without assigning fault to one party or the other. The only grounds for a no-fault divorce in Texas are "insupportability," which means that for whatever reason, the marriage is no longer viable. If you wish to file for some other reason, such as adultery, criminality, or abandonment (among others), you need to speak with an attorney. Furthermore, if you and your spouse cannot come to an agreement with respect to the division of property and child custody and support, you need to speak with an attorney. Texas is a community property state, which means that it views the property of either spouse acquired during the marriage as the property of both spouses, and the default division of that property is an even split. However, if the court finds that one spouse is at fault for the dissolution of the marriage, then it can and will assign more property to the innocent spouse. For this reason, if you plan to sue for divorce on specific grounds, you need to speak with an attorney. If you cannot afford one, go to texaslawhelp.org for help finding a Legal Aid attorney. In Texas, state District Courts have jurisdiction over divorces. District Courts are courts of general jurisdiction. That means that they have jurisdiction over all legal matters unless specifically designated otherwise. In very small counties, or judicial districts that preside over multiple small counties, there may only be one District Court. If you live in a county like this, you would file there. In districts of larger size, the District Courts are divided into subdivisions that give preference to certain areas, like family law. These are called Family District Courts. If you live in one of these Districts, then you should file with the Family District Court. To find out whether you should file with a District Court or a Family District Court, simply go look in the directory in the Texas Pro Se Divorce Handbook. Alternatively, go to courts.texaslawhelp.org and fill in the required information. The forms you use will depend on whether you and your spouse have children together and if you own real property (land, houses, or other structures). The Supreme Court of Texas has approved a set of forms for filers with children, without children, and without children or property. Once you find the right category for you and your spouse, simply click on the link provided. Almost all of the forms you will need are in the packet.
