Outdoor speakers are a great way to annoy the neighbors, if that's your goal.

Those ringtones are still with us. And they will live on forever in TV.

Sadly, I suspect this would not work for strawberries ...

I do love the hidden laundry, though. It reminds me how I long for any laundry machines at all. I'd have 'em beside my bed if I could.

@anb, you are not the only one.

@presidentwalter -- In Downton Abbey, the meals aren't plated -- the dishes are brought one at a time by footmen, who allow people to choose their portions. But unless your budget stretches to hired waitstaff, that method probably isn't feasible on most occasions.

Excellent save! That chair was clearly about to go (wire frame -- pah!), and pandas improve everything. MORE PANDAS!!!

The "Like a Mom" label on this series of posts doesn't do anything for me, either. Cookies and other quick foods are for everyone, and no one, mom, dad, careerist, whoever, has enough time these days.

Very likely those people had not-so-fond memories of what it was like to be renting and were just trying to help. While some may be lucky in their situations and homeownership is not for everyone (I'm ambivalent about the prospect, myself), renting often brings its own set of distressing circumstances: bad landlords, bad neighbors, laundry wars, things you wish you could change but can't ... the list goes on and on.

You have made this space work beautifully for you -- a true winner.
