Let's see...I'll go with home theater since it's worse: TV VCR DVD player Stereo system cable box (which has built in DVR, which replaced the separate TiVo that now re...

My brother just got out of a two year stint in the Peace Corps. Most of the stuff we sent him was not fragile, so it wasn't too much of a problem - books and magazines, canned goods, extra toothpa...

Not completely unheard of in the US - they had these at Newark airport (terminal B, international arrivals) when I was there last week as well to pick someone up. Of course, they had the automatic...

I have one - it's certainly no more effective than a "regular" dustbuster or dirt devil, but I like that it has a more efficient footprint, and (depending on what color you get), can be hidden fair...

Actually, the link provided by taracakes looks exactly like mine, so either they're still making it or it's the newer replacement model.

I would also suggest an LG over a summit. I looked at both when I was redoing my kitchen, and my big problem with the Summit was that the freezer was not frost-free, which effectively reduces your...

I agree that this is a "limited" computer, but would actually be perfect for someone like me. I have an iMac desktop (G5) and a G4 powerbook, that I use solely for travel - it functions ess...

my kitchen was just as small (if not smaller), although a separate room, and I redid the entire thing in a much cozi...

I've got one of these, and it's absolutely fine to hold onto. I use it to get at the corners that my Roomba can't reach.

If you hang it over the daybed, that all but eliminates guests sitting on the daybed if they've come over to watch TV (not that that's the point of all parties, but it's certainly nice to have seat...

Oh, I should also note that I've been cellphone only since I bought my new apartment two years ago, and, except for times like last night when I accidentally left my cellphone at work (but used sky...

A friend of mine in Italy had a good solution for this - she only partially enclosed the shower portion of her tub/shower combo - so the tub was still exposed, but she had a circular door that just...

what do you count as "large screen"? I've got a 40-inch LCD HDTV in my living room, two computers (desktop and laptop), and am coveting a new Bose soundsystem, but can't justify it until my curren...

If you're looking for armless, I'd suggest either the cb2 bandit chair which is a nice tweak on the emeco side chair, or a

These guys moved me from Philadelphia to New York back in 1999, and they were great - showed up (in Philly) right on time, and took less than an hour to move me into my new place once they arrived....

If that's your dining area (based on the table), you could possibly buy a piece of furniture, like a breakfront, and fit it into the space - the alcove would allow you to buy something deep that do...

I'm certainly partial to non-artificial building materials as well, but is there something necessarily wrong with a house that's nearly indestructible? I mean, sure, plastic water bottles are clog...
