We have a very large clock that gets a lot of love, even though it doesn't quite keep the right time. Also, we have a very large book collection. Of all the many interesting volumes, ...

I have used the baking soda/hot water/aluminum foil trick. It works! It got rid of the tarnish on a silver bracelet in less than a minute.

One night roommate agreed to let my boyfriend stay over. She'd met him many times. It's 3 AM. BF and I are sound asleep. Roommate comes home, drunk off her ample patootie. She clim...

Cute, but one could sew these at home for a dollar's worth of fake fur and a half hour's time.

My hair needs a fresh wash and a blow dry in the morning to not look awful. But it only really needs the dryer for the finishing touches. The current strategy is to wash my hair, towe...

I like this for a landing strip but not for a dining room -- I'd always forget which chair had the napkin rings and which one had the extra grapefruit spoons.

@aquarabbit "uh, why would you rent an apartment without looking at it first?" Not always a failsafe. In the late '90's we found an ad for a Pasadena rental c...

It gave me a laugh, and that was enough reason for me to vote "hot."

I want the American Idol commemorative plates!

We have a projector but no screen -- we just project it on our standard rental off-white wall. It works pretty well day or night. It's great for movies, but when we want to flip chann...

Love it!

This appeals to me because I too have a lot of books! But I think it adds distracting visual clutter to the TV-watching experience, unless you turn the lights off to watch TV.
