I liked what Jennifer did with the walls. She has some talent with painting. As for the floors, if they had more time she might have done something other than carpet. The carpenter she was worki...

I'm happy to throw them on top of my shredded wheat.

No raisins, no nuts, just glorious carrots, an extra teaspoon of cinnamon and cream cheese frosting Add one fork and a glass of milk. Life is good.

I have motion sensor lights with CFLs at the front and back of my house. It's all about safety.

Thanks for recommending the Belkin concealer power strip. I followed the link over and just ordered one. I have been looking for a way to conceal the cords and this looks ideal!

I can see this in a kid's room, as long as it is high enough that the kid won't be tempted to touch the bulb. Otherwise, a nice row of them over the bar in a rumpus room.

Ditto. I have dramatically reduced the amount of paper towels I use, replacing them with microfibre cloths. I still want paper towels for pet messes and particularly filthy tasks that would resul...

Looks about as comfortable as one of those coffin sofas we saw here a while ago.

Didn't Hannibal Lecter have this in his dining room?

It is terribly frustrating that people won't clean up after their dogs. It is part of a general disrespect that too many people display towards other people. To get them to change either requires...

I've never tried that before, but I'm game.

Welcome to a suburban neighborhood near you!

I have an under-the-sink water filter at home and fill a 52 ounce drinking jug every day. Add the screw in red ice doohicky that came with the jug and I'm set for work. It fits nicely in my tote ...

Less than what I would have a year ago. The cost of the trip really has to be considered in light of the overall value of what I'm getting.

I don't want to eat off plates that have bugs on them of any sort, especially not spiders. Gives me the heebee jeebees just to think about it.

If you have only $100 to spend on pots, pans, knives, and utensils, you're probably not in a position to worry about whether or not you're getting good quality. Start hitting garage sales, estate ...
