After untold millions of horrid gin & tonics, I'm now a Campari drinker. For me, G&T's need to be in just the right proportions (only orderable in upscale boites) otherwise too much gin flats out the tonic. And the crispness of the carbonation is very important to offset the gin!

But in dive bars you can't find Campari, so it's usually Jack & Coke (clean glass please?).

In some clubs it's only Malibu on the rocks because I don't even trust the bartenders with any drink where they have to combine any two or more liquids!!

Have a sentimental attachment to that color regardless of what you call it. Had a friend in college whose favorite color was orange, even down to her VW. Ah, we had a lot of fun in that little bug... hi Sharon, if you're out there!

Love that black room with the highlighter-pink (remember last year's Panetone Honeysuckle?) table. Wish I had the %&$*# to have a living room like that...

LOL - this was always a big joke in my family to which I always say "Ah! The Tissue Issue rears it's ugly head!" Three things never to be discussed, Politics, Religion and The Tissue Issue!

We have the Aeron chairs at my office. They all pretty much broke shortly after we got them. Considering the cost, this is appalling. Plus, as Arielle mentioned above, as a petite woman I find them mostly uncomfortable - the seat is too deep and the curvature of the back does not conform to my proportions at all.

oops, typo. "sans serif fonts ARE notoriously difficult to read"

Well, I scrolled through the comments quickly, but didn't see the choice of font addressed. Even though it is now a larger point size, sans serif fonts and notoriously difficult to read for any but the shortest statements. This is an elementary concept of page layout. Serif fonts are proven to be much more readable. There is a reason for Times New Roman, hello? (Not that you have to use that in particular, just please, please, please go back to a serif font and give your readers ease on the eyes!!!

For the past couple of Thanksgivings I spend part of the day getting a jump on what little Christmas shopping I have to do. Some stores are open and there aren't masses of people. Then I take it easy on Black Friday, treat myself to a manicure or a movie or a nice meal.

Great idea. Practical soundproofing is vital for residential applications. Hope when this does make it to the retail market, it doesn't cost a small fortune to install....

There is something about the first photo that really bothers me, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Too many shiny surfaces in too small a space maybe? Or the cabinets are too high and towering? What is it that gives me a weird vibe???
