It's a little late for an April Fools joke, don't you think?

That's such a sweet picture of your kitty on the bed.

Here are a couple of tips I use: - Instead of buying small containers of yogurt, I buy one big container of plain yogurt and then mix in flavorings whenever I have a bowl (e.g., jam, a...

The suggestions are great, however, with all due respect, they treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem. The reader admits that she doesn't know what's in there or how long it's been the...

[to continue]...not that there's anything wrong with it. I gleefully feather my nest all the time. But I don't feel that I have to make up a story about it. And actually, squarely confronting th...

I think I figured out why people would want to do this story thing. It's because we are embarrassed that decorating usually involves massive amounts of time, energy, and money creating images of o...
