These books must be hugely successful as there are so many of them. I have always been surprised at the number of people I know who take offense at the title use of "for Dummies." I just assumed ...

I was thinking of replacing my mouthwash in the morning with a hit of vodka, speaking of using something twice for different tasks. I think I need to meet this guy. Or do they make su...

slideshow doesn't work for me (firefox 2.0)

I found an old lead crystal lamp at the Nantucket dump that works. And I had just bought a shade at Goodwill a week before that didn't fit the lamp I bought it for and was headed back to Goodwill a...

C'est charmant! J'adore les "kitchen cabinets" ;-))

I like your solution, and I like even more that you didn't rush right out to the hardware store the next day!

Slideshows don't work for me either....Firefox OR IE!

This looks pretty and how nice about the rooting....but I hate the way tomato plants smell, and they give me a rash. When I was a kid my father grew tons of tomatoes and everyone gobbl...

In the summer, the sun. It's kind of a problem how early, since I live so far north the light comes very early. But once it is light outside, I wake up. In the winter a music CD. I ...

don't put the great art up but otherwise it's a fun idea. I know someone who papered her bathroom walls with New Yorker covers.

Great idea but I think I'd prefer the cupcake tin. Or a mini muffin tin would be nice if one could find a tin with lots of pans in it. I find ice cube trays really ugly and wouldn't even want them...

Poison spiders would get the heave-ho (not that they are an issue here) but I let the rest of them be. I don't think it has to do with my name but perhaps. My cat occasionally interacts with them...

Give it a try. I absolutely have a black thumb for houseplants. For years I've tried and they've died. Except for succulents, cacti and geraniums (the pelargonium kind). I decided this year to ...

Your description of returning home sounds so cozy that it makes me want to go away and come home again.

does media fast include blogs??

This is California posting, right? Don't have mosquitoes do you? East coasters need screens!
