Windwolf's Profile

There is NO "Appropriate TV" for a child's room. Period.

Honesty. Simplicity. Downsizing (or, better, "rightsizing"). A return to financial sanity.

To quote Thoreau:

Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.

That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

And Sir Winston Churchill:

Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge.

Hopefully, much good will eventually emerge from our current world economic crisis. Windwolf

How to slow down: "Find a little piece of land somewhere and plant a carrot seed. Now sit down and watch it grow. When it is fully grown pull it up and eat it." - Stephen Gaskin

(Quoted from "Living on the Earth" by Alicia Bay Laurel - 1970)

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. - Confucius

Curtis-
I dumped Norton a few months ago and put on AVAST!, which is free for non-commercial users and updates automatically every time I boot up. It is very fast. Norton is terribly slow. Get rid of it.
Also I do a disk cleanup and defragment just about every day. That, too, helps bunches.
To quickly find your RAM - go to "all programs, accessories, system tools, system information" and then look for "total physical memory" - that is your RAM. VISTA really wants at least 2 Gigs.

I'm truly sorry, but I far prefer the "before" to the "after".
The "after" is very cluttered and really boring. To me, the "before" has some cool character, color, and looks cozy. Why did you hide the fireplace?

O-key-doe-key!

I'm hoping that this is a countdown until all current editors are required to have read and understood Maxwell's earliest posts from 2004 under "Apartment Therapy on ...." in the archives.

I'm further hoping that this will mark the end of "reposts".

And I'm really hoping that his will mark the end of posting the same info on all the AT sites.

And I'm REALLY hoping to see a return to the "therapy" part of this site with less emphasis on insanely expensive design porn.

Insanely beautiful!
