KTG, I know that the pineapples I had didn't smell at all, which was a little disappointing. If you look back at the photos, these are so small that they're just about all spines and no fruit.

My Dyson is my luxury at home. I wish I could afford a maid, but having a vacuum that lets deep-clean my apartment in about 20 minutes is amazing. I LOVE the pop-out extension that lets me get to...

The graphic designer my company does a lot of business with sent us a Flower of the Month Club gift for Christmas. They send some very hardy, non-traditional arrangements that survive being shippe...

RoseCampion, I would bet you that what you're missing is either mustard or curry powder, or both. This is sad, but my downfall is scrambled eggs. I'm going to give the 'slow scrambl...

As a teenager, two of my family's 5 cats would sleep on my bed whether or not I was there. When I slept, they both stretched out lengthwise against me on either side. Roscoe, the older one, would...

it's pretty funny, but a TOTAL ripoff of Mitch Hedberg.

The cat looks disdainful. I love ice cream week!

My mother did this for my twin brother and I growing up. Between he and I, there was always a birthday party to go to or Secret Santa at school. She'd buy a mess of $20 or less Lego sets, games, ...

You're totally right about the symmetry. I think whatever little charity shop lady made these mirrors should mark them up to $25,000 and sell them off to the Brooklyn Museum.

Ah. Well, there was the favorite college special of challah sliced really thick, buttered on both sides, filled with peanut butter and banana slices and squished in the George Foreman. Also, two ...

That wine necklace thingie is totally dorky.

The Truman Show is exactly what I thought too! For the people who are interested in, as the author said, a perpetually new-feeling environment, they'll either be living in a developm...

I use soap nuts, and I love them! It's amazing how they smell so weird yet make your laundry smell great.

So cute! When I moved into my apartment right after college my roommate and raided the local liquor stores for wine crates. Three years later I have "real" furniture, but kept the crates as a boo...

If they don't require grout, do they lay flush to each other? I looked on the site and they don't have any photos of them installed. does anyone else?

As someone who's had a number of college friends stay over (and since stopped extending invitations), I think gifts of food and/or thoughtful replacements of supplies are best. Taking your host ou...

While I'm ticked to finally find out how Febreeze works (I'm your target audience for fifth grader-level scientific explanations), *anything* made by Proctor & Gamble is decidedly un-green by most ...

This strategy does work! My mom has been doing it for years by hiding clean cat food cans full of cheapo beer under shrubs around the garden. It also catches teenagers: I had a few ...

I wanted to start my seedlings by now but I haven't. Last year I had a lot of success with the Burpee seed starter kit, but now everyone's sold out of the soil cubes! Does anyone have advice for ...

Any good examples or suggestions of how to make this work when you have a lot of different styles and sizes? I have gilt framed little painting from my grandma and some wild prints from DUMBO, wit...
