If you look at the website you'll see that most of the chairs have much higher weight ratings (400 - 800lbs) and the toilet goes up to 1200lbs. So yes, this site is dealing with people who are seri...
Best packing rule to live by:
Put out all of what you plan on packing on your bed. Take away half. Pack the rest. If it still doesn't fit, pack less.
This is much easier than va...
I spent 7 weeks in Rome last winter (lucky me, an uncle based in Rome who needed a cat sitter over the holidays!). He had a washer, no dryer, so all laundry was dried on a rack in the back balcony...
I've never warmed up to the house swap idea, because you're trying to match two people's ideas of the ideal living situation and it is just hard (like you said - like dating!).

I can't believe that golden pothos didn't make the list! (ok, I'll fess up, I had no idea what the name was, so I googled and found it.) It's sold in every grocery store and I find them indestruct...

I loved soft paws - my kitty, Edie, wasn't so fond of me putting them on, but she got used to it (I had been trimming her nails for years). And it really helped my furniture survive her terrible s...
I used fabric shower curtains from Bed Bath and Beyond in both rooms of my last two apartments. They were really colorful and reversible, which was kind of cool when the sun struck them the right ...
I'm surprised that they sold this to a hospital - the laptop looks so precarious on the shelf, like it's aching to be knocked off - especially by some cranky sick kid. Plus there's no place to loc...
