from Apartment Therapy Re-Nest | DIY Dryer Sheets on February 4, 2009 09:04PM

Baking soda and water in a crock pot with the lid off and on low for a few hours REALLY works. My house retains food smells like crazy and I use this trick all the time.

I think after money issues, women feeling that their husbands don't participate in housework is one of the most common reasons people get divorced.

"Unfortunately, chemicals work and efficiency wins out to environmentalism." That is just so... depressing.

In response to Molly, the purpose of fleas in nature is to "weed out" unhealthy animals. As a result they have evolved to seek out unhealthy animals, especially animals that have skin and coat issu...

Alice, you just don't know what it's like. First they want SHELTER next they'll be wanting FOOD and MEDICAL CARE. GAWD! These people can't afford 30 dollar candles and monogrammed bath towels s...
