sugarcake, I actually have skipped brushing my teeth at night many times because I was too tired (OK, lazy).... But wow, what's with the grouch? We all have little bad habits. Don't tell...

When I was a kid, my parents bought a live tree one year, kept it in the pot, and used it again the next year. It was a blue spruce, about 6-7 ft tall including the pot. After the second year, we...

I can't say I've run out of steam, but I'm still a good bit off from being done. I think I'm looking at more of a 12-week cure this time! I don't think it's necessary to cut the cure...

Waaait. So, if I read that article right and look closely at the picture, I think that their largest cabinet (the one on the left) is filled with champagne!?! Maybe that's why they're so happy li...

In the last couple of months, I've been thinking about why people keep lots of stuff around, and of course, different people have different reasons. For me, I've found that my most dan...

I'm loving these stories and can definitely relate. I think we can also recognize that there are two sides to the coin. For example, the video...

I have 7, but I'll be adding another, of sorts, that I just ordered: http://www.salamanderdesigns.com/seating/jumpseat.jsp. It'...

Oops, to clarify: when I said I "dropped 1 Tbsp baking soda into an 8oz. bottle and filled it up," I mean I filled it with water.

I also have fine, thin, straight, greasy hair (the kind that looks wet and matted after 24 hours), but I decided to take the plunge and skip the shampoo. I was afraid of the complete "no 'poo" rou...

Thanks for the input. I actually do leave the door open (pretty much only closes when I have guests). I also open the window, and leave it open for a little while after the shower (or a really lo...

The pink style is actually easier than it looks--I used to make these with a class full of third-graders. The explanation linked actually makes it more complicated than it needs to be (especially ...

I often use the strategy of mixing CFLs with standard bulbs in the same fixture. This provides a broader spectrum of light and also avoids the initial darkness you sometimes find when CFLs take a ...

My living room needs the lighting overhaul. The kitchen is pretty bad, too, though you don't really notice it until you face the stove and can't see what you're cooking (fortunately I have a range...

Hm. I don't like showerheads that point straight down because I can't have water on my body without having it pour constantly down my face. And really, I can't see why I would want a ...

Really beautifully made stuff here. The customization feature is particularly great. You can basically create a whole new piece of furniture and it barely costs any more than one of their standar...

Oh, and I love that landing strip in the pic!

This is my second shoes/no shoes thread (fairly new to AT). People get excited about the funniest things! I can't resist dropping in a few notes of my own. You'll probably surmise I'm in the "I ...

I did the credit card opt-out, but I've never tried a general opt-out service for the rest. My primary way of reducing was just to contact the senders. I did a little bit at a time, and after a c...
