I've heard of people with cat allergies getting tolerant to certain cats after a while. I'm a little allergic to my kitties.. some eye watering and sneezing is something I could live with. My BF ho...

If this could provide a good workout comparable to a decent yoga DVD, i'm getting one. The nice thing about the Wii fit is that more "games" will come out on it as well. :D

ooh, wishes! Mine would be: 1) I'd love a new kitchen. 2) new hardwood floors throughout the main floor would be nice 3) a gardener would come in handy.

There are two bank boxes full of stuff currently under my bed... and a dust bunny or two or three. I read it was bad feng shui to keep stuff under the bed. But there's so much room dow...

I agree with MonsterMash. :p Paris Hilton is one of those things about this decade I'd rather forget.

Orange was last year. Red, the year before. This year, I believe green has made a redemption. I'm seeing shades of blue start creeping in for trends for next year. :p

I love white, but not so much in the ultra modern style. I'm more of a shabby chic, retro kind of person who likes decorating in white. Still, I think too much of white would bore me... like Sweet...

Patrick, vegetarianism/veganism is like the growing 'green' movement. We do what we can, but we're never going to be perfect. And someone will always call us out for hypocrisy because of some tiny ...

I'm not going to get all PC about the fur bedspread or leather (after all, several people here wear leather jackets and shoes and find them warm and comfortable .. i personally don't and I personal...

JonathanB ... had I the money, I would lean towards a "steampunk" look for my home, at least in subtle ways. In any case, I love the look of that black victorian tea set and would love to find one ...
