I've had really good luck with the Malm dresser line from IKEA. Smooth tracks, no sag, have made it through 3 moves and 4 years and are still going strong. Only issue is the veneer will pull up i...
I've had really good luck sprinkling baking soda and then rubbing it in with the cut side of a lemon. Really cuts the grease, and then regular soap and water will take care of any residue.
We had one of these growing up (1930s Craftsman) and all of us kids learned pretty quickly to stay off of it. He probably learned his lesson and won't step on it again.
We're eating less meat, and cooking more from bulk staples (beans, rice, quinoa, bulgar). I'm also learning how to can and make jam so our CSA bounty doesn't get wasted.
Do. Not. withhold rent over this. The laws on withholding rent vary based on the state you're in, but in general, they only apply to non-livable situations. Not liking how your neighbor keeps the...
The recycled TP from Trader Joes is perfectly nice. Target's store brand is some percentage under 50% recycled, and is also just fine. I'm of the opinion that no one's ass is special enough for f...
What about a senior housing complex or something like that? Seems like the type of thing that would actually be useful, rather than junk, for someone with arthritis.

The big pumpkins sold for decoration are actually pretty crappy for pies. :( You'd want a little sugar pumpkin to make a pie with. Roasting the seeds is fun, easy, and tasty though.
My cat is too weird about what she will and won't scratch that I couldn't risk a fancy scratcher that would go to waste. Right now she's liking the ones from Ikea, which is great as they're super ...
I wish I could have my kitty in my bed, but the boyfriend is too allergic. We have a baby gate up to keep her out of the bedroom, since at 13 she's too old to jump it. Before he came around, she ...
My cat's favorite toy is a drawstring out of an old pair of sweatpants. It's too wide for her to eat, so I don't have to worry about it like I would smaller string. (She's also never even tried t...
I make it a point to touch my cat's paws regularly, so she doesn't associate paw touching with nail trimming. She hates the trimming, but pretty much sits still and waits for her treats after ward...
Mrs. Mack - I've always found that poodle mixes shed the least, and have hair that is more hair like and less fur like.
I've been wondering about green ways to get rid of fleas. A fri...

I cover my hair, because I hate getting dust in my hair. Other than that, I try to remember to wear grubby clothes so I don't ruin anything nice.
All clothes are washed cold, but I wash my bedding in hot, as recommended by my allergist to kill dust mites.
