Oh thank goddess! I thought I was the only one who'd been collecting since issue #1!!! It's where I learned the definitive way to hard-boil eggs afterall (issue #2, BTW).
I cannot believe that this is under 800sq ft of living space! Just goes to show you what having a plan and a color scheme can do!
Your furniture and paint choices work very well und...
Anyone have any tips for finding/using an electrician from Craig's list? The one recommended to me by a friend has once called to cancel and once not shown up. I have to replace some track lighti...
The perfect dog for your apartment is the one that perfectly compliments your lifestyle, not your home. My Lab gets regular visits from the dog walker on days that I am at work. On days that I'm ...
Ugh. This always makes me cringe. That's why I live in a house...I can hang my laundry in the yard and my neighbors can't do a thing about it. To be fair, we live in perfect harmony - in a modes...

I'm w/ Calynx & Saha on this one. You take your life into your own hands when trying to ride or even walk over there. Most SUV drivers are oblivious to those of us who are not ensconced in like-a...
