Lucky for me, my local market stocks hamsters year-round, so I needn't hunt them down now and hoard them just this week! However, I *do* like to buy them in bulk and freeze some, so I can fry them...
Yes, by all means, buy a second one! They can be joined together to make a twelve thousand dollar couch. I have not seen one of these in person, and they seem to look fine, but not *that* great. ...
Can someone explain why Cascade (or Palmolive, or whatever big band of dishwashing or handwashing detergent) is worse for the environment than Seventh Generation, Ecover, TJ's soap, etc.? I'm not ...
Most bath fans have more or less the same mechanism for holding up the (generally plastic) vent cover -- a pair of springy wires that hold the cover tight against the ceiling. The plastic vent cov...
"Reasearchers have found high level of toxins in breastmilk of Tempur-pedic mattresses. Check the OKO Test issues March and September 2004."
Maplelatte - I opted for the Sonno, but had...
I second (or third, or "fifteenth" or whatever) the "Don't paint the floors white" comments. The floors look good, and undoing the painting would be difficult. The railing, however, could be impr...
You poor cynical people! The magnets actually do work, but you have to douse them liberally with genuine snake oil in order to their therapeutic effects to be fully realized. If yours didn't work...
Although Texas likes to think it invented chili, patented chili, and can license it out like the NFL lets Dallas calls themselves the "Cowboys," Cincinnati chili is every bit as much of a "chili" a...
The "Modern Emulsion," if I recall, is probably a better choice for more high traffci rooms (and is still quite flat -- it's more matte than satin). Another thumbs-up for F&B paint here. Not onyl...
That photo above is not the $36 Cross MP3 player (which, from the pics at GeekSugar, looks cheap and crappy, with llittle chiclet buttons on it). The photo above is of the "Saint B" MP3 player, wh...
patrick (the other one) - For someone with the audacity to have been named for someone else (!), you do seem obsessed by the concept of "knocking off." Given the negative connotations associated (...
creativereact - You mention that the modernica shells are made on the same actual equipment that HM used to use to produce the chairs (i.e. the machines modernica purchased from HM, presumably with...
Gotta echo the comment about replacing the whole thing. It would be difficult to remove the cabinet from under the vanity, and get a new one in there, without taking off the vanity top, so you'll ...
It's hard to tell from the pic whether it's actually a Duravit Vero, but it does look the narrow version of the Vero (19" wide, I think). The Scarabeo/Nameeks sink is very similar, and also comes ...

Actually, this is a list of 10 plausible reasons to give the neighbors for why you have dozens of empty vodka bottles iny our recycling bin.
I'm planning to do a couple chalkboard doors in my new kitchen reno, and these would go *really* well with those.
How to make it look masculine? Pee on the toilet seat.

Books are definitely good. Especially if they have pictures. And a rattle. Although the rattle makes it hard to concentrate on reading.
Really sharp cheddar, melted on sourdough.
"Get Behind Me, Santa" (Sufjan Stevens' version, as another commenter mentioned). And the black model sure is nice!
