Keep the bottle opener on a titanium chain around your neck.

Love it! But I have an ex-boyfriend who would be really upset to see it on my desk.

I sleep with my eyes closed, so I don't worry too hard about what the bedroom looks like.

jen_g, I hate to be a debbie downer, but that link contains about the same relationship to actual chemistry that Jabberwocky does. Lemon juice is acidic, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

What is the environmental impact of borax mining?

Thank you, patrick (the other one). The new drawer pulls are not to my taste, but you know what? I don't live there. Cathy does. The new hardware looks great, no holes from the old hardware, as...

Mexican vanilla is delicious, and it can be found in the US. A large grocery store with a foreign section or a gourmet selection will have it. Coumarin is a prescription drug, I believe it i...
