I don't have kids, and I love to include a few pictures of what I've been up to over the year. Especially since I've moved around a bit, it's a fun way to keep friends and family updated. Who cares if there are photos, kids, adults, snowflakes, baby Jesus's whatever on the card. At least it's an actual piece of mail isn't an ECARD!!

As someone who formerly worked in the marketing department of a housewares industry giant, I can tell you that those Good Housekeeping seals are bought. Sure you send product in to be 'tested', but it's more about ponying up the dough for the right to put the seal on your packaging. Also, bet you didn't know the Better Business Bureau charges to use their logo too and is running the same type of racket.

As someone who actually works in decorative plumbing, we have a joke that we shouldn't worry too much when people buy cheap fixtures...they will be back soon enough when their cheap pieces aren't functioning properly and they have come to their senses. You aren't saving ANY money long term by going cheap.

#1 most important question to ask (especially if sharing a bathroom): What type of toilet paper do you buy? I could never live with someone who buys cheap 1-ply sandpaper.
