Ross is splendidly random, which is why it's worth checking occasionally. I'd vote for Market St. and Mercado Santa Clara as the two best Ross stores in the Bay Area, but the whole point of the cha...
Welcome to 1971! That's back when owning a dryer was a big investment, so everyone had a back yard clothesline.

I may be a woman, but I've never had any difficulty determining whether a toilet seat is up or down before using it. Is there some complexity beyond "look at the toilet" that I've been missing?
Well, I think JonathanB remembers I'm on the Cure Lite track, as I think (and I'm pretty sure the book says, at the end), that regular tune-ups help prevent major problems down the road.
Sparkle -- See if you can find any of Lady J's old home photos on the site. She is the queen of pink-and-orange and is not being the slightest bit sarcastic.
Not if you don't mind the litter of needles and used condoms, which I'm sure sophisticated New Yorkers have no problem with. San Franciscans tended to be bothered by it, but we Westerners always st...

The rediscovery of the early 1970s is starting to scare me. Much as I loved our elephant hamper (which might have been at my grandparents' house -- it seems like more my gr...
Oh -- and one other thought -- if you go with a more flexible and nicer-looking bookcase, look for shelves that are about the same width as your 8-track spines. The narrowness of your shelves is pa...
Well, that's one way to get a premium price for chips of low-quality diamonds that won't work for jewelry anyway. I have to applaud the ingenuity of whoever in the diamond industry thought it up.
So you've ruled out vintage 8-track cabinets that come with right-sized storage slots?
To tidy these up, you need a cabinet that has its shelves closer together, so that you're only st...
