praying for the campbell's and rest in peace, campbell family. we are going to win states for you, colon. a spokesman for james blake says he wasn't even in florida at the time of the incident. meantime, detectives are continuing their investigation trying to solve the mystery of what happened there. matt, savannah. >> mark potter, thank you. let us turn to texas now where an extreme drought is forcing one town to take pretty forecastic action. nbc's gabe gutierrez is in wichita falls. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. we are here pence the city's water treatment plant. officials insist this process is not only safe but but necessary because of the drought. some residents say it's just plain broke. in bone dry texas, desperate times can calling for desperate measures. >> it makes me nervous. i'm concerned about my kids' health.

in the country, making up about half of the city's tap water. >> it will meet or exceed all state and federal drinking standards. >> reporter: still, some residents aren't so sure, calming it toilets past and already are switching to bottled water. >> it's terrible, groechls i think it will come to that or else this town will not be here any longer. >> yeah. i'm holding some of that treated waste water right here. i had wanted to drink it live on the air. city officials asked us not to. the texas department of environmental quality is finishing up tests and hasn't signed off on it yet. >> that is expected to happen in the next 30 days or so. >> he will write a thank you note to the department of environmental quality. >> i think the good rule of thumb is you wait for those results to come in. >> i bet a lot of communities have to turn to this. >> in florida, they have been doing this for years. >> i used to live in florida.

sold it this week so the stock went down. >> i think a lot of people know about blue chip stock, they hear twitter is hot or google or apple. for one watching at home, what's the first step into the water? how do you get into the game? >> well, you really look at companies that you know, look at things that you're familiar with and like, pay attention to that. say, you're someone who works in the office and all your girlfriends are buying mikes kors bags instead of coach. last year, everybody had a coach bag, and this year, everybody is buying michael kors. michael kors' stock went up, kofb went down. >> how do you know it's time to buy into a stock. >> i think it's trying to buy low and certainly get your profit that you sell high but it's hard to predict? >> right. there's always these people that want to time the bottom, they want to get it at the lowest price possible. that's almost impossible. i really believe when you buy a stock, you should buy it and hold it for a certain amount of

time. picking that bottom is really hard. just watch the stock. you can buy it in increments to average outercosts. but don't try to pick the bottom. >> i've heard some people to say a good way to get in is to by one share of a company you really like. let's say it's apple, it's become expensive at $600 a share. do you like that strategy, just get in the game? >> i like the idea of people getting started. the only thing i don't like about buying one share, you don't have much flexibility. if you buy a cheaper stock where you can buy, say, 20 shares of it, if it goes up, if you keep ten, sell ten. then you can buy another. you've got two stocks. you're all in or so it's either you're in or you're out. >> i think the great way to get in the pocket is investing in your 401(k). you're not putting all your eggs in one basket. and you get the tax free for

>> good morning. what else does a belly do besides growl? i don't know. we're looking at a chance of light storms through the middle of the country and today. orange through minnesota and back through iowa. that's where we could see the strongest risk of severe weather with isolated tornadoes possible. also large hail. which we already saw yesterday in oklahoma. back behind it, we have spotty showers and much cooler temperatures. out ahead of this front, though, we have very, very warm temperatures. running 15 to almost 20 degrees above average. as we go into tomorrow we are going to see that slight risk of strong storms spread eastward through places like inand western kentucky and tennessee. 0 these shouldn't be tornadic but we'll see heavy gusts and hail. in the northwest, we're going to see a chance of showers an mountain snow. 9:32. we've got a good-looking day

shaping up. considering the fact there's showers on the way for half of the bay area. right now we're in the upper 50s and headed towards the mid-60s. some will see showers by 11:00 a.m. we're going to stay nice and dry here in the south bay, but increasing clouds and comfortable temperatures as we get into your afternoon. we'll have your seven-day outlook right here in just moments. see you then. and that's your latest forecast. natalie and willie. >> dylan, thanks a lot. there's an old saying that goes "like mother like daughter." do you think that's true? >> absolutely. >> haets hear what moms and daughters had to say. take a look. >> the number one trait i get from my mother is being organized and working hard. >> we definitely look-alike. i mean, that's not a bad thing. i think my mom's beautiful. i do. >> just honestly, i want to be just like my mom when i grow up. but i'm not there yet, but, yeah. >> as a young woman, you're

trying everything you can in your 20s not to turn into your mother. all of a sudden, in your 30s and 40s, you make peace with your mother and you say, you know what, she just wants the best for me. >> my grandmother said to my mother, must be better. my grand mother was a phenomenal, phenomenal mother. she was a mother to my sister and i as well, even though we have our mom here. >> i look at her as a baby and say, oh, my god, she's a mom. here she is taking care of her own daughter. >> i wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for my mother, period. >> my mother is my mother. she's really my best friend, she's taught me everything i know. >> she's just like the bee g gees #amazing. >> such a great daughter. >> here to discuss the sometimes complex mom/daughter

relationships. good morning, ladies, good to have you here. >> good morning. >> i was just talking this week, i feel like i've become my mother. to me, it's the highest compliment. i don't feel i'm as good a mother as my mother was to me. this is something we grow into is that role, right? >> we absolutely can. sometimes, it's a compliment to hear you're just like your mother, and sometimes, it's not a compliment. so, fortunately, for you, it was. when your mom's an inspiration and does things that you find wonderful, it's a wonderful opportunity. for many women, it's not what they want to grow into. >> is it inevitable, is it inevitable that a woman becomes her mother? it's going to happen at some point? >> i think daughters have a choice. i think the healthiest thing is to look at your mom and decide what you want to emulate and what you don't. the unhealthy thing is when you get into one extreme or the other. if you ideaize her some that you

think you could never live up to her or demonize her. >> i think there's the pressure, too, of trying to have that perfect mother daughter relationship, which we know is never truly perfect. there's always the flaws. how do women sort of strike that balance of wanting to achieve what their mothers maybe set up as goals for them, but also making sure their relationship is solid? >> i think one of the things you do is understand the goals your mother has for you may not be your goals, but you have to really listen to your own voice, which will be a reflection of hers and also understand that likely, our mothers are not going to change. we are the ones that will do the changing. take the really good stuff you've got and internalize it and see that's perhaps how you'd like to be like her, but you can deal with the other in a mature way, which you can only get as you get older. >> this is a much longer conversation, but if you are a daughter with a mother whose relationship isn't so great, what are a few things you can do

to strengthen it? >> really pay attention to your communication because too often, mothers and daughters think they know each other so well that they should be able to read each other's minds, so really work on your communication. listen carefully to the other person and communicate clearly. your mom's not going to read your mind. >> we wish they would. we have a cute little piece of video to promote a new book, how not to calm your child on an airplane. she asked a group of kids to say yes to mom, but their answers may have been a little too truthful. >> thanks, mom. >> thanks, mom. >> for pretending to have the stomach flu to get a few minutes in the bathroom. >> for telling me to clean my room even though yours looks like a dump. >> for all the lies you tell me. >> disneyland was closed this year. >> always reminding me how cool you used to be.

>> you're not cool. >> for making me afraid of germs. i'm like the howard hughes of first grade. >> for not pressing on the soft spot on my head when i was a baby even though deep down, you really wanted to. >> some of these were very right on, things that i've said. >> a lot of knowing looks. >> disney land is still closed, by the way. you say there's actually a science between the bond that mothers have with their daughters. what is the science? >> there is. first of all, some is genetics. we get so much from our parents and what we do with it is our choice. but also, we sometimes per seve rate and get fixated on a behavior or something somebody says to us and then we keep going there, so that makes a pathway in our brain and if we get stressed, we say, why am i sounding like my mother? because you're stressed and immediately, that's your go to

place. so you have to be very conscious about changing your brain, really. changing your behavior and saying, you're not your mother. you may be very much like her, but you're not her and she's not you. >> and up next, how dads -- >> you can change those pathways, which is fabulous. >> that's why we're so encouraged. >> we're out of time. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> coming up next, what if we told you you've been doing your laundry the wrong way? >> the common cleaning mistakes you might be making, right after this. nder rumbling) (thunderclap) (bellowing fire) (steaming and chugging) (thunderclap) (cheering) (rollercoaster rumbling) the world you've been waiting for is here. the wizarding world of harry potter, featuring the all new diagon alley and the hogwarts express.

all right, time to fix all the problems around the house when we ask lou.

>> "today" contributor and host of the syndicated show house smarts lou manfredini is here to answer some of the repair questions you have about your home that you sent into us. >> first question, lou, hi, comes from terry. my older hot water heater is making a loud gurgle and popping noises when i use hot water. is this dangerous? could the bottom fall out? how often should i replace the water heater? >> with water heaters, what is important, when it starts to make those sounds, depending on the age, it is probably a good idea to consider replacing it because the average life of a water heater in the u.s. is about ten years. the way you can know is there is a little guide here, a little stamp, that has the serial number. most of them have a manufacturer's date, this particular one is 2006. then you see that serial number that is to the left, that long geln 06. many don't have the manufacture date, but the last two numbers are the year it was built. this is '06. if it is snap, crackle and popping, better to get it fixed while it doesn't leak, because

then it is tuesday morning and you have no hot water and you have to spend twice as much money to have a plumber come out and do it. >> are they under warranty? >> most manufacturers have a warranty of about five years or so. but, remember, it is a manufacturer's warranty on the product, so they'll say, well, hoda, you had this thing for ten years, you spent a thousand dollars, we're going to prorate that over ten years, here is your 100 bucks. still got to get it replaced. >> still 100 bucks. >> susan asks this question. i want to paint -- spray paint my patio furniture. my husband insists we have to use a brush. is there a spray product i can convince him to use? >> looks like there is. >> i can't spray this on the air because we're in a closed in area and we have all these hot lights. i really like this product by rustoleum, a universal hammered finish. if you look closely at this light switch, we applied this. there is actually glass beads in the paint. and when you spray it, what you want to do, if it is metal, take a sanding sponge like this, do a

little bit of prep work to prepare it. if there is any rest ust or anyg like that, get it as smooth and clean as possible. the beauty part about this is now with spray paints you can spray any angle. so it used to be to hold it like this. the chair would be difficult. and so this universal spray and now they have these triggers on there, much easier to use. when you're spraying, you go left to right or top to bottom. you pull, spray, release. pull, spray, release. don't get drips. >> oh. >> and do light coats. this stuff looks great, comes in a bunch of different colors and finishes and really holds up well. >> fabulous. >> good people. >> last one, nancy asks this. i have six closet doors and room doors that need to be repainted. what do i have to do to prep the door and what do i have to do to prep the trim around the door and what kind of paint should i use? >> 90% of a good paint job is preparation. the paint part is easy. with the six panel doors, what you want to spend a lot of time

on is the detail in the trim work that surrounds it. the sanding sponges. i just did this a little bit, this is a preprimed door. you want to get all of the debris and the gook that gets in those corners and get this as smooth as possible. we don't have to go crazy here. then if you prime it with a product like this bin primer, this, you're going to take -- you're going to work the areas first this is a very watery primer when it goes on. so you have to be careful about how you put it on. it will drip. and you got to pay attention that it doesn't gather there and leave you big drips. when that drys, once that drys, then you hit it one more time with sandpaper to knock it down and get it smooth and then a paint and primer in one like this valspar product is a heavy bodied paint. you'll do the same thing around the corners. look how nice it brightens up like that and work those areas around, do the squares first, then finish the strokes evenly all the way around, the same goes with your trim.

two coats of a paint and primer. it is going to look fantastic. >> thank you, lou. >> only lou has all that information. >> he certainly does. >> if you have questions for lou, go to klgandhoda.com, click on the connect button and maybe he'll answer them next week. >> maybe not too. a mom with a big family and even bigger heart. >> we're celebrating mothers who inspire us every day. coming up right after this. everything your mouth does in a day is building up layer, upon layer, of bacteria. and to destroy those layers? you need listerine®. its unique formula penetrates these layers deeper than other mouthwashes, killing bacteria all the way down to the bottom layer. so for a cleaner, healthier mouth, go with #1 dentist recommended listerine®. power to your mouth™. also try new listerine® naturals. the only mouthwash that combines the power of listerine® with naturally sourced ingredients. hey. you said in a focus group that eliminates odors andave doesn't just mask them." could you give us access to maybe the smelliest room in your house? yeah. the trash is bad... oh yeah. ...and we just took it out. it smells really nice.

with mother's day this sunday, we have been sharing stories of really inspiring moms and amazing things they do all the time. with mother's day this sunday we have inspiring moms and at the amazing things they do all the time. >> katie has four adopted children who suffer from a rare skin disorder. epidermal -- >> sorry about that, e.b. but first her story. >> i'm a mother of since beautiful children. and we come from large families, we also wanted a large family.

after six years of marriage, with no luck conceiving, we decided to create our own family through adoption. we found an agency and set up a cons consultati consultation. a friend connected to us another agency we hadn't even applied to. they had a baby with e.b. that causes the skin to be fragile and will blister after the mildest trauma. i took one look at him and i knew he was mine. the voice in the back of my head kept saying it's okay, you can do this. after 11 years, thousands of dressing changes, dozens of surgeries and countless sleepless nights he is okay. the first few years of zach's life were rough. but before he went to kindergarten we decided being an only child was not a good thing for zach. our family did not seem

complete, so we got elizabeth and then charlie. i felt like i was missing someone. a friend in the e.b. community that knew of two sisters. even though i wasn't capable of taking two i knew i had to bring them home. we adopted the younger brother who also has e.b. life is crazy. but there's nothing better than a house full of kids who are happy and joyful. >> oh, my goodness. >> wow. >> hello. katie troupe is with us along with jamie silver. jamie's son also has e.b. jackson. he's over there, as cute as can be. >> jamie and her husband alex started the jackson gabriel silver foundation and they have raised more than $2.5 million. this is incredible. when you adopted originally a set -- that was interesting. so fulfilling, then to adopt other kids with e.b., why did you decide to do that? >> with zach, it was a miracle that we found him and he found us. and we knew we wanted to have more children eventually. and just god's hand came

together and found these beautiful children for us. >> tell us -- it is rare. but is it forever? this condition, is it curable? >> so e.b. is a genetic skin condition. so you're born wit. you'll have it for the restf your life. >> is it manageable though? >> well, there's wound care that we do. for our children every day. they're in a lot of pain and for us, i think one of the hardest parts in order to care for the children we need to inflict some more pain on them. they go through as katie said bandage changes every day. so currently that is the way we care for our children. but we're working really hard at the foundation to advance treatments and cures. >> is it strangely easier with more kids who have it because you're used to it, you know how to do it? >> well, we're an e.b. family and it affects every aspect of

our life. there's a lot of things we can't do and there are things we can do. since there are already so many things we can't do, we might as well bring everybody else. >> you want every child to have a childhood and so much of childhood is running around, being active. how do you team your child to be comfortable in their open skin when they know they'll get hurt if they fall? >> yeah, we don't -- i don't feel like you have to teach them how to be kids, they know. but our job is to run defense. be there to pick them back up. >> oh, my gosh. well, jamie and katie, we know that you have been -- you're obviously terrific moms with kids with e.b. so we decided we wanted to pamper you a little. so wellness 365 is giving you some gift certificates which you can use at 25,000 locations. we'll reeling it in. spa treatment, travel, yoga and more. we couldn't forget about the kids. we heard jackson is really into legos. so legos, some of the hottest
