Can't stand root beer, but I am firmly in the Diet Coke plus vanilla ice cream camp. That's how we've made them since I was a kid. It's also good with grape soda, too.

Every now and then, I start thinking I should put some money together and buy my own place (because that's what you do in America, right?) and then it never fails - a friend's roof needs fixing, th...

ChristineBadina, I didn't get "temporary" in any sense except, perhaps, that the cottages are used until families can return to their pre-Katrina homes, or find other permanent housing. After that ...

Gorgeous, all of them.

Hot in someone else's apartment, just not in mine...

Wherever you live, just make sure what you put in the parkway is allowed, if planting there is legal at all - here in Lincoln, it's not.

Yeah, condo-type places are tough, scmorgan81. Maybe a wreath on the door and/or a distinctive welcome mat?

I personally would prefer nothing before 10:00, but my city (Lincoln, Neb) does at least have noise ordinances. Mowers, etc., before 8:00 am are against the law, and I can deal with that.

Moon Man was the toy in a cereal box when I was a kid and he's been with me ever since. He's a very small, lime green, friendly-looking alien-type creature, and he's adorable. He lives on a shelf i...

Line drying is the way to go, IMO. If you don't have a yard, you can drape it over several chairs, or a shower curtain rod, etc.. You won't get the benefit of the sun, of course, but you won't have...

My last landlord was awful, but nowhere near this. And, cinnabons from... IKEA??? I wonder what Nicole Macy put in them...

I've been considering a jute rug for the living room, but hadn't known that little fact about jute absorbing humidity. My apartment's not particularly humid, but now I'm nervous about something hap...

Mary, if the neighbors' dog is barking incessantly and has no access to food or water, then that means it's time to call Animal Control. They won't remove the animal (unless it's in danger, clearly...

Much as I usually like all things Method, I have to wonder about the finely milled marble in the LeScrub. Method likes to promote their products as being green, but isn't marble a non-renewable res...

Mine's digital, and the readout flucuates by about seven pounds. I'm right on the verge of pitching it and not bothering to replace it.

Love Betsey, and love this place FOR Betsey, but... for me? Thanks anyway - I'll pass.

Conditioner that you don't want is good for shaving legs, too! And I second that the tip about donating unwanted towels and rugs is great!

Good photo! One small shelf plus a pedestal sink means everything is hidden except the following: hand soap, hand lotion, cotton balls and swabs, kleenex, toilet brush. In...

As someone who has had a fear of falling down stairs all her life, this scares the snot out of me.

Liking all of these ideas a lot. I've got my necklaces and bracelets hanging from decorative key hooks on the wall, which works really well, but bowls and cups and such would be good for rings and ...
