We were "cased" on the subway in Rome by a father and his 7 YEAR-OLD son. We caught on to their suspect head nods and managed to leave with our valuables. I got caught off guard while taking a ph...

The cost of dialing Information from my cell phone during the times I can't look up the number on the internet is worth not having the clutter of a phone book. My phone book goes straight from the...

I've been in Australia for 4 years now and was totally unaware of gumtree. You've opened up a whole new world. Thanks for posting this!

This might just be my favourite house tour ever! So full of cute! I love how much colour you've incorporated. I particularly like the framed A frame ladder plate with the A underneath. Very cre...

Our friend grilled halloumi at a BBQ a few years back and we have been hooked ever since. Last night we grilled halloumi and choritzo on skewers, topped with a mint sauce and finished with a squir...

brenjay, we had a kitchen spider named Herman a few years back. Herman must be a common spider name. His brother Nacho hung out (literally) in the living room. I can stomach cohabitat...

I know you're kidding cakekick, but drunk driving is NEVER appropriate!

That vial of poison in the kitchen earned you a 'super cool' vote.

Go West Coast!! I'm so proud that my little home town made the list. Yay SLO!

I'd like to imagine that the antlers are from jackalopes or squirrels with antlers that she brought back from a high-heeled hunting expedition.

I am in love with that sofa. Better yet is the colour combination of the purple with the turquoise chalkboard to the right. Awesome.

If I lived there I would hang out in the lovely bedroom all day, because I'm terrified of the rug in the living room.

The Honda Fit (Jazz here in Australia) is the greatest little car EVER! Like Hollie I couldn't be happier with it. Sure it's not the most powerful car around but talk about smallest/coolest.

An Australian launched something called "Neighbour day." It simply encourages people to "Say G'day to your neighbours." http://www.neighbourday...

Our cohabitation was initiated by my then-boyfriend's landlord selling his apartment and kicking him out. I had just bought a place so he moved in with me. Unfortunately he had little time to go ...

Thank you elizabeth. If you didn't say it, I was going to.
