I, too, live in a city that does not require sorting. And yet I still sort (paper in one, everything else in the other). I have no idea why.

I'm getting a neck ache just looking at how high that TV is mounted.

Bugs are disgusting. If they are outside, fine. But inside, anything with more than four legs dies as fast as I can grab a shoe. No exceptions.

Car alarms. Specially, the overly sensitive car alarm on the BMW parked on my street, where... oh... I dunno... ZERO cars have been stolen or broken into during the past EIGHT years.

I'm looking for some inexpensive blackout cellular shades. I looked all over the internet last night, and the cheapest I could find was about $120 (for 33 x 68 shade). I was expecting about $50-7...

Those Bento boxes are great! I'm going to get one for all my random sewing/mending notions.

Who makes (reasonably priced) custom sofas in Chicago? Like The Sofa Company in LA?

I have some JBL Creature Speakers. They sound great, and I think they look pretty cool. Not too expensive either.

I've always wanted one of these mattresses. I have a Tempur-pedic pillow, which I like, but which seems to retain a lot of heat. So I worry about the heat issue. I can't stand being hot, parti...

I've used both Oral B and Sonicare. I have sensitive teeth, and both gave me a headache. So I eventually went back to a manual brush. My dentist noticed no difference in the health of my teeth/g...

I like white. White furniture, no (too impractical). But white walls and tile, yes. I wouldn't trade my big, empty white walls for anything. If I see another striped wall or red dining room, I ...

anne: I'm not sure if it's exactly what you had in mind, but I used eFax (email fax services - http://www.efax.com) about a year ago, and it worked...

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. Everyone I've personally known that has run a "little record label" has another primary source of wealth (e.g. inheritance, studio work, 9-5 job, whatever).

re: 2lastnames That is a great tip. When I first moved into my apartment, I made a lot of "placeholder" purchases that I now regret. I've been slowly selling them off on craigslist/e...

How do you drill holes in the tile to hang to rack? See: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/skill-bu...

Your bathroom actually fills with smoke ? Like, visible smoke? I'd say your building has some serious ventilation/duct problems. The easiest solution is to figure out who it is...

I like the shape. I like to sit cross-legged, even in the tub. As for the color, I'd prefer more avocado and less lime.

My boyfriend dropped the deodorant in the toilet bowl and then, for some reason that still hasn't been sufficiently explained to me, flushed the toilet. Which firmly lodged the aforementioned deod...

Abhor the practice some couples have of sharing utterly everything, including toilet use. Makes me shudder! Well, when you only have one bathroom and someone has to go, you know...

I'll add an additional "Wasn't this posted a week or two ago?" How many re-posts and round-ups will there be? Apparently, quite a few. Laziness.
