I'll echo others here: this is an issue of your safety. A few years ago, I had a similar experience: my neighbors were drunk/high all the time and very aggressive, loud, and prone to g...

A couple years ago, after a plumber did some work to fix loud pipe hammering, our hot water started coming out tepid. I emailed my landlord a description of the problem and a few photo...

Funny timing: there's some car commercial that's been on lately where a multi-colored concentric square shape hops into different parts of the car (weird, I know), but it keeps making me want to re...

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!

I was going to say the exact same thing, d4kk1tt3n. If you're already full and not enjoying the last bites, it doesn't really strike me that you're making good use of that food.

I use the Environmental Defense Fund's chart to keep myself educated. I've also found that if I take note of the fish selections at...

Agreed, hrhprincessfiona. That creepy cutlery chandelier from last week comes to mind, too. Same ...

Meh to anything from the onion family for me.

Whoa there, kittystockings, that was a needlessly cranky rant. I understand -- and agree with -- your distinction on the semantics of "soup kitchen", but Dana did spend a day volunteer...

I was too young to be hit by this oak craze you speak of, so for me, it's just another taste, and one which I enjoy more often than not. @ syrupandhoney, I think the same can be ...

Having grown up with a family who routinely does this for our neighbors, they really aren't expecting anything back from you but friendliness, so any gesture you make will be appreciated.

@allisen, who thinks that locks only make us feel safer Thieves look for two things: good payoffs and easy targets. Not buying nice things because you fear they may be stolen is...

Blah, no matter what, if I'm wearing mittens while snacking, I end up eating the same thing: mitten fuzz

I've always heard the terms Roman blinds and Roman shades used pretty interchangeably. Kelly, it's a big improvement -- great job! I agree with others that you have plenty of leeway to...

@MiklakMiklak My example was Dan's house tour -- w...

@Vovloguy, Hmm, my perfectly constructive comment -- which violated the comment policy in no way -- seems to have been removed. In rebuttal to the "smelling money"...

I just love #5. It looks well designed to be compact -- like something a normal person (i.e. someone who isn't JSP or Fergie) could do if they were remodeling their walk-in closet and were willing ...
