There is a Halloween Gaskells ball in the SF Bay area. A lot of the Costumers Guild and PEERS people show up, so the costumes are fantastic. Many people don't do masks, but it's still an amazing ...
Erm... because I'm a different kind of nerd: 1910 would have been Edwardian, not Victorian. The Victorian era ended officially with the death of Queen Victoria on January 22nd 1901.

I use Delicious Library, which, sadly, only works for Macs. It uses the iSight camera to scan the books (though not all that reliably) and pulls up the information from Amazon. It then saves the ...
I bake a lot to help warm up the house. Roast chickens, casseroles, cookies, etc. Makes the house smell fantastic, and heats up the kitchen and office.

I love oatmeal. I make it with milk, in my crock pot, then serve it with brown sugar in the morning.
My fiance likes Savory Cereal, a dish served at the local Siddah Yoga Ashram, th...
I keep my cleaning supplies in the teeny cabinet next to the cabinet under the sink. It's awkward to get to, and if it's open, our bedroom door can't be, so it couldn't hold anything we use all th...
You don't specify what your problem is, but:
Curtains, both sheer and heavier to block the light as needed, and an area rug to make the floor less... bland, move the desk so you're fac...
Oooho, I don't know about this. Umeboshi is still one of the single most hated things on my list of foods that I've tried. I thought they were VILE.
I might try this if someone else ...
Interesting party games? There are such a thing?
Seriously, though: Apples to Apples is the best party game of all time. It's good for all ages, it's utterly simple to play, so you...
Wow, folks. Feeling nasty today?
I think it's fun; I immediately thought that it would be great it "her" bathroom, or (in my dreams) dressing room.
Naturally, it would...

One of the big enemies of foam is time; heating on the stove might take too much time and your foam will flatten out. Shaking the hot milk might work, but I'm pre...
akay: thank you for pointing out that the shy/introverted person needs to make an effort too!!!

I never blow dry, I only use conditioner, no shampoo, I use "natural organic, fair trade" etc etc toothpaste (I love Kiss My Face products, they're my favorite!) and I wax anything that I once shav...
I would totally throw this party!
In defense of the games:
"party games" irritate me, but real games are a lot of fun. In fact, my halloween party included games. We played Flu...
I would put doors on the shelves, because I like the look, and the lack of dusting, however, babies and dogs both do tend to break things...
Bitter apple is a GODSEND, just so you know...
I used to live with most of my friends, but that doesn't change the cleaning frenzy when they're coming to visit.
I threw a halloween party, and my house is SO CLEAN. It's so nice! ...
Milk stains are terrible to get out. I used to work in a coffee shop, and was perpetually bleaching my white shirts to shreds. Eventually I gave up and just only wore black to work. Even that go...
