To riff on MISSEWALL's suggestion, these beanbags are wonderful - and would make a great addition to a college dorm room when the time comes: http://www.sumolounge.com/sumosacG.php#.UGCMaY3N-Gk

I have one I got from Pier 1 years ago and I love the design because the glass fits inside the carafe (kept from falling in with a wider base), preventing drips down the outside of the carafe when you cap it after a drink.

goosebucket: what memories you just elicited! I went to college in Houston - before the days of attempted good nutrition in dorm cafeterias. I LOVED "frito pie," which was essentially what you described, but served up in a bowl. I recall picking up the local accent and calling it "FREE-TOE Pah."

Thanks, Bostonzest! I have one of those and I was going to google its name and get a link so I could recommend it fully. I love it.

I had always heard it was dangerous to coil a wire that was to be used...something about concentrating the power or creating a magnetic field, or some such piffle. Anyone else ever hear that?

I curse the day RR first used that great bowl and made it popular. Now I can't find an old Texas Ware speckle bowl in the junk shops to save my life.

I love how, against a black background, you end up with the illusion of empty space.

Ahhh..nice. When I saw it, I decided that the bin labeled "girly" in the bathroom was the best feature... until I saw the Hoosier Cabinet...now it's a toss up.

Sandwich a picture between two pieces of plexiglass (or real glass, or glass in front with something else in back...you get the idea...) and pinch each side with a clip. It's lovely. the top clip can also be used for hanging. Or put two on the bottom and stand it up. I love these clips!

I had a friend once who was mortified by disembodied heads used as decoration - most often seen as Christmas ornaments. If she were still alive, I think she might just find this option to be worse.

Well - as a lover of hanging clothes to dry...I suppose I could grab a few of these and throw them at my hanging clothes! I love the crisp feel of clothes dried on a line - even indoors. Towels dried on a line seem extra absorbent.
