I love this easy way of making dried black beans! I added 3 cut up garlic cloves, salt, cumin seeds, bay leaves, put the pot in the stove and it came out perfect. Very hands off! Thank you!!

I like how creative you are as far as the use of objects to achieve your colorful room. Rather than a cool paint color that was created by a guy named Benjamin or a gal named Martha. You've got my vote. Great job!

Beautiful wall color.

Ok, so I have been living in my teeny apartment for 6 months, and today I hung my first painting. Thanks, Maxwell, they were gathering dust under my bed.

Thing is, it looks SO low. I hung it next to my dresser which is about 50 inches tall. Does the 57" midpoint still apply here? Is there a forum where I can email an image? I've emailed AT a couple of times and I don't want to rank stalker status by emailing again.

Oh, and another thing. The heater thermostat (on another wall) is smack dab in the center of the wall at 53 inches. Any recommendations on how to hide it?

Thanks you, and I'm sad this cure is ending :(

Well, I didn't actually "fix" anything, but I did finish painting a ceramic vase. It had been sitting unfinished for MANY years. It's at the ceramic joint waiting to be fired.

Wow, I'm shocked at how many people have such an incredible aversion to just BEING- being with themselves without pacifiers.

I don't have a tv, and though I love music, I do not have to have it on all the time. So at first I thought this would be easy. But no internet? No talking or texting on my phone? Oh dear, a big challenge but I'm gonna show up and just do it.

I'm having anxiety over this cure. Most of my books are for reference. What if I need to refer to something I've given away? I'm going to do my best to purge. I like the idea of using paperbackswap.com.

Ugh...feeling....tightness...in my....throat.....

I ended up buying a tiny cactus. It looks like a cucumber with a pink spiky bloom on top.

@BotanysDesire where did you post your pics?

@Maxwell, you look so different in video than in still photos- more handsome in video.

Is there a new Flikr group for this year's Cure? I did a search and only came up with '10.

This will take much more than 20 minutes, but I'm totally inspired to go to Goodwill to find some small vases. I rarely (twice a year, maybe) buy flowers. So this is a nice motivator. Thanks Maxwell and everyone for contributing with your posts. Feels like community. I love it!

Who does that? I've never even considered swapping conventional for organic...my mind just doesn't work that way. Great tips! Thank you!

@SF Cole Thanks for the reminder about the bulk sections!!
