must. have.

These are great. No portland pride here, just appreciate the aesthetic. Thanks.

Oh, no. They don't soften. I didn't realize that was part of the point. They do save energy by cutting drying time.

Love this.

Yeah, doing a little research seems reasonable. And these totally look like a scam.

That said, Djluckyonline - don't hate on the dryer balls! According to the empirical evidence in my dryer, they really do cut drying time significantly, especially with sheets and towels.

It's not exclusively a korean thing, but every korean cook i know uses scissors more than knives. I have a couple pairs and use them for just about anything softer than a carrot.

Wow... Most things on AT and nearly everything on Re-Nest remind me that I have a lot less $ than your target audience, but this one is especially blatant.

Seriously?

Uh, yeah, I would think of borrowing first. Who the hell runs out and buys an extra grill for one party? No one I know, and not cuz we're environmental saints, more like cuz we're normal people who don't have crazy disposable money burning holes in our pockets.

My 4 yr old son helps around the house (I do not call them "chores") and gets an allowance, but the two things are not connected.

My philosophy is we are a team, we work together, we help each other out. Therefore, I expect him to help around the house commensurate with his ability (at this time, it includes picking up his toys, feeding the dog, setting and cleaning the table, washing the windows he can reach, and sweeping and mopping the floor - albeit not very effectively - although he certainly does not do all these things every day or even close).

Also, since I have all the money and he has none, it seems fair that I share some with him, commensurate with his level of responsibility.

I want him to help out because it's his home, not for the money.

Aimi -- Wow. I'm impressed. As the mom, I doubt I could stay on top of that, but it sounds like a great idea.

Haven't read this, but I highly recommend "Operating Instructions" on the honest new-mom memoir tip.

smart! i mounted a shelf on the wall next to my son's loft bed, but this is more versatile.
