We don't have deer so much as moose. Moose don't like mint, and anything sprayed with melted Irish spring soap mixed with water or pieces of the bar soap hung from tree branches.

It might be fun to clean the holding tank as well. Especially with the magic color changing packets. Fun for the whole family. Brings a whole new level to the koolaid man commercials.

Palin has beauty queen syndrome and can pronounce large words while wearing vaseline on her teeth, but can't logically string them together.

GWB couldn't even make medium-sized words.

Its "malapropism" vs "noocular"

I wish I had time and space to make a Steeler's Football office for my husband in the grey and yellow. It looks so classy and his memorabilia wouldn't look so trashy.

My friends and I joke that this is the Ron Popeil method for raising kids. With leapfrog, telletubbies, etc. "Just set it and forget it!"

I don't buy electronic toys and remove batteries for my own hearing sanity. If I can't get to the toy before it's given to my child, I wait a few days and take out the batteries and tell my kid it's broken. Seriously people how many times do you have to hear "The cow goes moo! MROOOO!" before you have a mental breakdown?

Foog Foog is right Salvation Army sells tons of these for cheap. Kids are supposed to use their imaginations, you could really just slap some paint on the cabinet and paint all the appliances on and the kids would have a great time. Put two of the same cabinets together with hinges on one side and on casters on the bottom and you could have a rolling folding playhouse with tons of toy storage. They would be absolutely wonderful for pre-school or kindergarten classrooms.

I understand the design...white picket fence w/flowers...etc...but I dislike that it went from being useful and decorative to merely decorative and not very at that. I think that is why others will also dislike it. I think they could have kept the concept but also kept it useful by
1. painting it white but keeping the upholstery tacks unpainted for contrast.
2. hand painting the tops of the spice jars to look like real white mushrooms...not the psychedelic ones.
3. glued green moss around jar areas to look like grass and have some draping through over the edge of the "fence"

Put some spices in your mushroom patch and you are ready to go.
