37Rubydog's Profile

My sister just skipped the whole changing table thing too...just kept a changing pad under the crib...I distinctly remember my mother just using the bathroom sink to wash my siblings when they were babies.....might not be the most hygienic...but then we didn't have stroller seat belts back then either.

I work at home alone (well with two officemates if one includes the dogs)....I find the background noise of the TV to actually be conducive to better concentration because I kind of block it out ...and the dogs like Divorce Court.

This looks really good -- however, my dog, Elmo (who is a fully functioning composter) will try to fight me for this. He loves to eat the carrot peels -- which I call carrot pasta.

My nephew and his parents have lived in a 650 sq ft converted studio apartment since shortly after he was born (they were camping in a 250 sq ft place while they were upgrading the studio for the first four months)....It works well for them and has enabled them to let my nephew do a lot of things that they wouldn't be able to do if they lived outside the city and/or had to pay for a larger space.

1991 Bernina 1090 owner here... and I bought it as a floor model 20+ years ago. The only thing that's dated about it is the "groovy graphics" splashed on the front.

One of my favorites comes from the old "New Basics" cookbook from the late 80s/early 90s. Basil Barley provencal. Barley mixed with basil, zucchini, onions, (I think some chicken)....easy, filing....reheats great.

Didn't see the $12 requirement. Buy one issue of Living etc...and save up.

An important deadline.

Damn -- are you not sure you are moving into my old house in Atlanta? It looks exactly like the upstairs bedroom when I moved in.

I have a pic of me with the phone in 1965.....some toys never go out of style. Lincoln logs are great and I personally still like colorforms.
