AT should really do at least one focus on classrooom decorating today. We teachers are trying to make our second homes as homey as possible. We bring in curtains, comfortable furniture, ambiant l...

I've popped my tweezers and nail clippers in the toothbrush holes.

Just for fun, here's the translation of the crazily awful French letter above: Sir / Madam, We clothe groups he sports sweater of Companies. Because 1986, we make both ex...

I've furnished my apt. & transported all thanks to CL DC. With my mattress and dining set, the sellers both agreed to transport since I lived close by. Three times, I used rent-a-mover services p...
