Remember not to simply toss your expired medications...they should be disposed of properly to keep them out of the environment.

Amazing. It's going to be hard to work with my fingers crossed...

Wow, LittleRock. I'm impressed with the way you were able to say that while still being petty and rude. Kudos.

I purchased the small recycled plastic cutting board with the lip, and I use it all the time. I had no idea how useful that lip would be, but it's great. The knife leaves marks in it, but it's no...

Wigglyville, on Broadway in Lakeview, is great! The owner works in the shop and obviously loves animals. They have tons of pet beds, collars, costumes (love!), toys, and gave me a lot of good adv...

Just had a couple of friends tell me about the flood in their basements (in Chicago). They'll never put fancy stuff down there again...it's just too expensive to replace.

It's bigger than my apartment by 100 sq. feet. I need to move.

Ah, cabinets with way too many drawers than I could ever use. How I love you so.

I've lived in several studio apartments, and I always look for one with a closet big enough to put a bed into. I love the cozy feeling of sleeping all wrapped up in blankets and walls, and I have ...
