I agree with LittleMissSunshine. I use my credit cards whenever possible for the points/cash back. The money I spent on my wedding gave me enough points to cover the honeymoon. However, I do have a piggy bank; over the past 5 years, I've accumulated about $2.

I need a shower every day. Walking around DC makes me feel like I have a film of grime on me when I get home. My wife, on the other hand, showers every 3rd day... so between the two of us, it evens out to every other day.

This is how a toilet works: http://home.howstuffworks.com/toilet2.htm

thirster42: not everyone owns their home, and even if they do, replacing the water heater isn't cheap.

"Magnetic paint inside your medicine cabinet's door can hold items like hair clips and bobby pins."

No, it can't. Magnetic paint contains metal in it so magnets can stick to it. So unless you have magnetic hair clips and bobby pins, this won't work.

Love the place, but isn't the stove area somewhat of a fire hazard?

I have a Neuton and it's worth every penny. If you get one, make sure to charge the battery for 3 days before using. Any less and you're not getting the most out of your battery.

agree with johnnyro... the point is to keep air from drying out the paint. plastic wrap is all you need.

I have a toaster, but I make toast in a pan (not the oven). It's like making grilled cheese without the cheese.

Instead of melting butter in a bowl and brushing it on the bread... melt some butter in the pan. Take a slice of bread and sop up some of the melted butter that's in the pan and set that slice of bread aside. Put the second slice of bread in the pan to soak up the rest of the butter. Then pick up the recipe above from step 4 (but skip step 5 since you already got some butter on that slice of bread).

This basically produces the same results, but you don't need a brush or a bowl (for the melted butter), and you'll probably use less butter. It also takes less time.
