I think it depends. In my parents house it doesn't get used because there arent stools, there are chairs backed up fairly close behind it, and it is always covered with stuff- it does get used as a buffet for get togethers tho. At my in-laws it gets used all the time for talking while cooking, or even helping while cooking. We have one in our apartment but are always keeping laundry baskets on the stools (away from our dog) so we don't use it for eating except when we have company.

it isn't 'greener' to use an artificial tree- careful to research before you post.

I also got the laptop bag and saw the lead warning- I wasn't keeping that around. I was lucky enough to find the flats in my size (7!) and it was the last pair! I got a few mugs for co-worker holiday gifts and a travel bag that looks great (I didn't see a lead label on this one- I'll have to check)

I don't know if it would work for this type of thing, but in new buildings after they finish construction they will often close it up and heat it up in order to 'bake-out' the offgassing chemicals from the building materials. Most of these buildings have HVAC systems though, to pump everything out in the end.

How the heck do I get this? I can't figure it out. This might be a bad sign for using it, but I want to try!

Uh.., not gonna happen. I thought this was 20 minutes a day? I will media fast for 20 minutes. Otherwise, my show is on tonight and if I don't watch it now I will have to find time some other day.

Doing this reminded me of all the little things I need to get done since moving in... we didn't clean when we moved in since everything looked great and it is a brand new building, and could not tell how incredibly dirty our window sills were! All clean now though. Thinking I should start a punch list with all the unfinished tasks I'm finding...

I love the idea of clipping a few flowers out of a large boquet and making a few small ones! A great way to spread the love all around your apartment.
