HELP - stripped interior screws
Hello - we went over some very rough and bumpy asphalt today and when we got home, we noticed the window shade had fallen off the wall, pulling the mounting screws out with it.... They are too strip...

Try putting a toothpick or two in the screw hole and then putting some glue on the toothpicks. Then screw in the old screw and let it sit 24 hours without bothering it. You should then be okay.

Toothpicks will work, but I am a fan of golf tees. A bit of glue in the hole, you can "set" the tee with a slight tap of the hammer. Cut them off when dry...hole is once again solid wood.
Or you can just buy a couple wall anchors, as others have suggested. Toggles are not needed...just ask the hardware guy/gal for a couple plastic wall anchors.
