Agree with the post- just my own camping pet peeve involves the re-creation of REI ads. Is that tent far enough from that water source, and did that person create a potty place that was also far e...

In Arlington, I was really lucky to live in a building with DC views. You could watch from the rooftop, but I was also lucky to work with the police, so I volunteered for the special details. Not...

In the days of Caesar Clintonus, there did dwell a child at home whose mother collected Christmas mouse ornaments. Each Christmas season, they did infest and adorn the home. Once someone gave he...

I'm in the camp of people who got up on the right side of the bed. I love this place! I could also see myself there, and am mentally positioning my own furniture. (Oddly, I don't have too much "...

Ouch. My eyeballs hurt from the pain inflicted. I would feel as if I were living in an industrial outlet factory. They seem so cold. That would not inspire me to watch TV!

I wouldn't eat off them myself, (spppooooooooky!) but my bug-obsessed husband would think they are hilarious. I might get him something as a Christmas present!

We use our steel bottles (store brands) constantly, and I have my eye on a cute Sigg design. I'd just put in a plug for the Sigg cleaning brushes. I held out for years, not wanting a...

Ha! I recently lived in a 250 year old house. In some rooms, the ceilings were less than 7 feet. (We needed a pint size christmas tree, that was sure). So I got used to short ceilings. But I a...

We were given a great canvas/aluminum frame picnic basket for a first anniversary present. It came with wineglasses and plates, but we also added our car camping plates for serving dishes. We can...

Forget kids! I need this for my husband who is doing field research!

Will borax affect cats or dogs? I don't have ants (knock wood!) in this place, but in case they come in in the future, I'd like an arsenal. My cats aren't allowed on the counters (or so I like to...

There is one of these in Newington, CT. It's called the Spin Cycle Cafe. They have regular and commercial size machines, a decent cafe menu, free wifi, and they serve drinks. It's always been ve...

I was great at this when I had my apartment all to myself. Then I got married and part of my learning to relinquish control was learning to let him be himself. He had to get tidier and I had to b...

It reminds me (as is) of a solar decathlon house I saw a few years ago. The wood wasn't the problem; it was the AMOUNT of wood and the fact that their student designers slanted it to be creative. ...

I would get chickens so fast that I would teleport in time if possible! (I don't have my own yard, though, at the moment). Friends have them, and the eggs are beyond awesome. The eggs are light ...

Thanks! I love the kitchen "wall" and the boxspring headboard. Some of the other visual elements are a little much for me, but it makes me happy to know there are such people in the world.

We rearrange the cats- you know, move them to different pieces of furniture or change their position. I think they sometimes wake up and move themselves, but they spend so much time sleeping they ...

Dishwasher, for me, is not a luxury- it is a necessity. Luxury: I greatly miss my old balcony. I had two balcony apartments while in the South, and I had a small balcony garden eac...

I should have clarified: the box spring wouldn't fit UP THE STAIRS, so I had to get rid of it. I raised the adjustable height of the bed and put the mattress directly on the slats. They were per...

Hm- I have had an Ikea Hemnes bed for 5 years now. I bough t a mattress/box spring, and used it with the slats (I didn't know what the slats were for, at first, so I just assembled the whole bed, ...
