I love the Molly Mutt duvet. My dog just got one and now his ugly brown blanket is stuffed inside a snazzy new duvet that matches (or at least looks nice with) the rest of the house. Also, the cats love it too.

When I lived in Oslo, I rode mine in the winter. If the streets were clear of ice that was all that mattered. Usually temps rose enough to melt the snow and ice and then fell below freezing so the streets were clear. It was just really really cold! I knew some people who switched to spiked tires. I didn't do that.

In Ontario there is worry about invasive pests so the provincial parks sell fire wood, about $6.00 /bag (a bag lasts me 1 day with 3 meals). All proceeds go back to the park system. You can get a hefty fine for gathering wood from around your campsite. That wood is part of the forest and should be left to decompose.

I have used a metal cigarette case as a wallet for almost 10 years. I get lots of complements on it and keeps me from collecting junk like receipts and such. I even have a picture of my wife glued inside.

I had heard the same thing as MelissaLeigh. It is like admitting your dog is so dangerous, it needs to be advertised.

On another note, I've seen signs for the fire department alerting them to animals. That is rather important.

What if the sign says "Dogs in Yard, Announce Your Intentions"? Would save litigation?

For years I have used two of these rails to hang my heavy All-Clad pot and pans. The pots and pans on the hooks and the lids slide between the wall and rod. It works great.

I guess I envisioned this existing, but I can't find anything. I would think a plumber could do this rather easily. My other thought is to use two mixer faucets, one in each hole. They could be mixed/cold or both mixed. (Bathroom too small for his and her sinks? How about two faucets in the same sink!) I do like the faucet that you posted above. That is probably cheaper and and easier than what I'm thinking.

So you have a problem with privilege Gail, I get it. But why so hostile toward people with local organic produce in reusable totes driving hybrids? Isn't it presumptive to think this is due to privilege? Maybe it is due to planning and saving and wanting to be part of the solution.

Or are planning, saving and solving problems privileges too?

20 years ago, my friend's family started organic farming. They were judged by the most people in our small mid-west town to be eccentric hippies, but certainly not privileged. Now they teach those who judged her about organic farming.

We (Americans) are finally learning the big isn't aways better. But I guess learning is a privilege too.

Doggie sleeps in his crate (door open) next to the bed. If it is late and obvious that we are not going to bed soon, doggie sighs and trots off to go to his crate. He does get some snuggle time on the bed in the morning, but only when there is a blanket on top of the bed clothes.

The only exception is camping. His bed is next to our bed and it can get cold in that tent and a warm dog feels pretty good.
