This post is so wrong on so many levels.

Aninhas is right on the money. I'm not calling you back if you don't leave a voice mail unless you're my husband and you're on your way home from work and I know you just want to chat. But you're not, so I'm not calling you back.

Unlimited texting in my area is $15/month, or $180/year to put that in perspective. What would you buy with an extra $180 in your pocket? Plus having a txt convo longer than 4 txts is stupid. Just call me.

When I was growing up in the 80s my parents had a half-door blocking off the stairs to the basement in our ranch-style home. It came down when my brothers and I were well into grade school, but I think the hinges were still in place until I left for college...possibly they are still in place.

I think the before is just a poorly lit photo. It's still seems like it would be stunning. But the second pic makes it look obviously brighter, and the gold accents make it seem more expensive. I think the after may be better if only because this house will stand out compared to the one next to it painted in the dark mauve palette.

I'm a fan of having space around the sides of your bed for holding books or resting your feet on while sitting on the edge. I think this could work -as people mentioned above- if you add bolsters or cover up the slats that peak out.

But yes, if you put it in the same location as your old bed you're likely to wack your shins on it for a while until you get used to the new size.

I currently work in a window-less basement office (have for over 3 years, actually). I rarely leave the basement during the day so having a view to the outside world would be amazing!!!

I lived in England for a little while and went to grad-school in Australia. I've definitely picked up a few good home-habits as a result. I have embraced the brilliance of the electric kettle, and air-drying my clothes inside. I *wish* I could install switches on the outlets but I'm a renter. Also I don't grocery shop that often but I do wish we had smaller refrigerator options that weren't just "dorm" fridges. It would just be more efficient for a smaller household like mine.

What do you have running on your phone that uses up the battery in less than 24 hours?? Remove some of those apps that always run in the background and suck-up your data and you'll have a longer battery life AND use less energy on a daily basis.

I have changed my battery charging habits on my phone and laptop and they do seem to last longer (hold longer charges) than old ones. I can't say if that's all up to my use changes, or better engineered batteries, but I like it regardless.

Lemon juice sometimes restores metal finishes. If that doesn't work, buy them a new one.

I use a Melika single cup 5 days a week. I do think the flavours are bolder than traditional drip methods, and there's less silt than French Press (which I use on the weekends).
