I definitely think "binging" on TV shows definitely plays into our need for instant gratification and it certainly doesn't help. However, I freaking love being able to watch a whole series/season in a short amount of time. I definitely pick up on things I wouldn't have picked up on if I would've waited a week. Not having to wait a week also increases the intensity of the show. To be able to go from a cliffhanger to the next episode is so satisfying. Maybe one day all shows will be released an entire season at a time and cable tv will be practically nonexistent (what would the sports fanatics do, though?).

This was, wait for it...., used in a nursery. Gasp. It's freakin' adorable & I'm sure that this mother did her research to ensure that her baby wasn't going to be harmed by any chemicals.

Nope not for me. I want to throw a yellow pillow or something into these rooms. Your asking a girl who never wears black & is always in a color & who has lots of color all throughout my house.

Like everyone else has said... just say NO to white grout. It is the devil. I bought a house with white tile & white grout. Keeping it clean was impossible. When I wanted to sell the house I had to pay someone to regrout it. Then when the house didn't sell and year went by, the dang tile was irreversibly dirty. I have the house on the market again & I can't be bothered. It is what it is.

@bepsf- you're so right on. i am currently a homeowner who is going through a foreclosure. i lost my job & could no longer afford the mortgage. i'm trying to sell it but b/c the housing market is crap i'd have to sell it for $20,000 less than what i paid for it. houses are no longer a guaranteed good investment. also, who said it was such a good investment anyway when the majority of your monthly mortgage payment is going towards paying interest. if i ever buy a house again, i will pay in cash. so, now i'm going back to renting & i feel free. if something goes wrong, i don't have to pay to have it fixed.

When I first read this I thought they would pay off your mortgage to which I thought, "heck yeah! They can paint my house whatever they want." I still don't necessarily think it's a bad deal to have them pay your monthly mortgage while their advertisements are on your house. It would be only temporary.
