We've gone through two of these soap pumps. They work great at first, but then it started dying. We were constantly replacing batteries, thinking that was the problem. Finally, we think the pump...

I also don't understand how FLOR tiles are a budget-friendly, inexpensive option. Every time I look at pricing a FLOR rug for a room, I'm way over $500, which is definitely not friendly to my budg...

While I agree that grated yamaimo is slimy and kind of gross, I concur that when it's sliced and dipped in soy sauce it becomes quite enjoyable. I refused to go near the thing until my aunt served...

I keep my flours and sugars in small bins at home and having small scoops (mine are plastic) makes it so much easier to scoop them into measuring cups. I can't remember where I bought mine, though...

I've never used shelf liner. What's the purpose? To keep glasses from sliding?

I rinse it with the spray nozzle from the back as soon as I'm done with it. This way, nothing has time to dry and stick and most of the whatever rinses off easily. If anything is stuck, I'll scru...

I've actually tried growing a tomato plant in a regular hanging basket. It's producing tomatoes, but nowhere nearly as prolific as the Topsy Turvy. I think the topsy Turvey allows the plant to gr...

Give up on the dishwasher... it's taking up too much of your budget and it doesn't make sense to install it under the sink. Click and lock laminate flooring is easy to install yourself...

How is a plastic yogurt container LESS bulky than a plastic bag? It seems to me that plastic bags can be squished into small spaces more easily than a semi-rigid container.

I have one of those tall pyramid-shape pot racks that stands in a corner (or, in our kitchen, next to the wine rack). The lids are stored upside-down on the corresponding pot and then they all sta...

The Mr. Clean magic erasers work really well at scrubbing off all sorts of weird grimy gunk. Paired with a solution of water and Dr. Bronner's soap, and a little elbow grease, and your oven door s...

For holiday parties, start a big pot of hot cider in the crockpot. It takes no time (aside from the heating), it's foolproof, it makes the house smell awesome, and it's a really nice way to welcom...

If the grain beetles really did come in the bag of dog food, I'd return it to the store. Sadly, most pet stores are accustomed to such returns and understand that some deliveries of dry food get "...

I think I'd like to see any kind of alien. I'd probably play them some Willie Nelson songs. Hopefully they'd end up being better about paying taxes, though. Maybe they'd do away with taxes!

I'm kind of hoping chocolate made it into the book.

Hee... I love that the water goes into your dog's bowl. Just the other day I had shower water (you know, the cold water you collect before it gets hot) but all the plants outside didn't need water...

Hmm... that's actually a really hard question! I guess I'd have to go with the original Fantasia soundtrack. I've even turned clips of the songs into ringtones. =)

I can understand the concept of buying fresh produce and maybe only a week's worth. Then you could sell the idea of a very small fridge - but a kitchen with no fridge at all? Assuming that you ar...

When taking pictures of pets, and if your point-and-shoot has the option, use the multi-photo setting that takes 3 or 4 shots per "click". Ultimately, dogs blink or move or stick their tongue out,...

I love simple, seasonal dishes and I think this cookbook could easily stay on the top of the pile. I mean... the organized and efficient stack of cookbooks that are in no way bothering my boyfrien...
