I know this is necessary, but my first thought upon reading this was concern for those whose livelyhoods depend on the salmon fishing season. If you're a salmon fisherman, thats an entire years inc...

I live alone, so unplugging the few things I have plugged in before I leave my apartment for the day is not really a problem, but imagine how nice this sort of thing would be for a large household!...

None of the above!! In my house we like our sweet potatoes "Boozy" We make "Drunken Auntie Barb's Mashed Bourbon Sweet Potatoes." Dear GOD is it good. Only for the adults, though, it i...

ok, I love the tree spur nametag. I grew up with these things (VERY dangerous when running around barefoot in the backyard) and I'm kind of glad to be reminded that they needn't always be a nuisance.

Flying Spaghetti Monster. yup. that was what I saw as well. I think I may have found the perfect place to store those two plastic googly eyes I've had laying around all this time...

I've always said I wanted to just move right in to this shop too! I love it, probably with a bit more fervor that I ought. Daphne's right that you can find quite a bit on the stuff in here on Ebay ...

I think that may be a typo...looks more like 500 feet. Either way, what an amazing find that space is!

I desperately wish I could wallpaper my little rental...but alas. I recently found out that my mother used the starch and fabric method with some old sheets to cover the walls of my childhood room ...

Awesome! I love the way Japanese city apartments utilize such tiny spaces. I've visited many times and it's all I can do not to crawl around inspecting every inch of my friends' apartments in Tokyo...

Lord I love Yelp. It's a wonderful resource, at least in the Bay Area, but be careful, it's addicting...

I agree, Etsy is the way to start. You could also (if you could produce enough) start selling them AT your local farmer's market. You could even have an 'old bag' donation bin there. I know I'd par...
