That's gross? Are you kidding? Call me a biology geek, but I would way prefer that sea creature anatomy poster to the moon one, which seems rather dull.

Um, I think that's called stealing. Yes, I take the little containers of shampoo and stuff. I've almost always opened them, so they would be thrown out otherwise. Generally I don't bother taking wh...

Huh - before I got pregnant, the only stroller name I knew was Maclaren. I thought those were the "designer" strollers, the must-have item for the well-heeled urban parent. Now I know the names of ...

>>well one would hope that in a group of adults, no one would mock choices! One would hope. But, sadly, one is likely to have one's hopes disappointed....

Terrible idea. There are names I love that I know some people would hate. For example, my parents, who consider only the Irish names popular in Boston from 1950-1975 to be acceptable names for thei...

Funny, I find the cemetery the least creepy part. I rather like the company of the dead - they're quiet, and I'm sure they know a lot. My husband and I will always stop at an old cemetery if we see...

I do it all the time. Usually I throw the carcass in the freezer along with the neck and heart and wait until I have two or three chickens, then pack them all done in the crockpot and let it cook, ...

Lovely room - but I want a headboard AND a footboard. I finally got a headboard, but my mattress still slides down - the result of having allergy covers on the box springs, I think. No money for t...

I agree with anapanda. That's depressing. Maybe if the crib were another color. Or the sheets. Or the mobile. Or something. I like the woodland theme - the natural mobile, the trees - but combined...

I'm not completely surprised the modernist bunch here don't like them, but I'm a sucker for mason jars for lemonade, ice tea - generally anything that needs a big glass that will hold a lot of ice....

Off the grid, with chickens, bees, orchard, huge garden, maybe a goat? But I don't think that's a hopeless fantasy. The tree-house as summer home. That one is unlikely, but deeply appe...

"We were seated at a series of long banquet tables" And therein lies the problem. I hated forced games when I was a child. Now I hate them and find them offensively infant...

I generally dislike them, although a few of the higher-end ones are okay. I keep one in the living room because my husband has a medical condition that - well, sometimes in the middle of winter in ...

I'm surprised by how many people refrigerate their fruit. Of course, I refrigerate berries, but not apples, pears, citrus, bananas. They do keep longer in the fridge, but I don't really have a pro...

I like my knife block just fine. Not crazy about the magnetic strip - I saw a few close calls when I worked in a professional kitchen. People would grab carelessly at one knife and knock the one ne...

Mrs. Meyers is crazy-expensive, but the geranium scent is the nicest cleaning smell I've ever come across.

I like it, but I also imagine trying to scrub kitchen grime off of all those little surfaces.

If I did this (and I wouldn't, because it's silly and inefficient, and I too have about 2,000 books), the orange section would be huge. All those Penguins, in all the different shades they've fade...

Sometimes I stuff with lemons, sometimes I rub with Penzey's Northwoods Fire Seasoning (generally don't bother with blends, but that one I love), but if I want a plain chicken, I use a trick I foun...

Mopping, because I feel like I'm just pushing the dirt around. If I rinse the mop after every single swipe, it feels like I'm actually cleaning, but it takes forever. I also dislike cleaning the ...
