no matter what anyone says about facebook, getting people registered to vote is amazing.
also, maybe there was a bit of peer pressure to vote. EVERY one of my friends had some political discussion about he election. most surprising were the people i had no idea gave a damn

Best of both worlds:
I do all the prep the night before and put all the ingredients in the pot and then put just the removable part in the fridge. when i wake up in the morning, i simply take the ready to go pot out of the fridge, and through it in the electrical part of the crock pot and turn it on. it is amazing to come home to!!!!

Strangest guest quarters:
My BF and i stayed with some friends from my college days a couple of years ago. Since college they have started a circus troupe. after a long wonderful night of telling reminiscing and drinking wine, they showed us they're guest room; a loft. only accessible by a rope hanging from the ceiling!!!!!!!
after lots of giggling, falling on my butt, and standing on my BF's shoulders we made it up and passed out. At about 5 in the morning when the wine had made it's way through my body and i needed to use the facilities, i was just going to have to hold it, cuz there was NO way i was going to be able to make it up the rope again.
The next morning, when everyone had sobered up and my friends realized that they had not taught us the super cool way trapeze artists climb ropes, i got a free lesson!!!
so now i have a cool way to climb ropes and a great story!

I've done this in a few places! i lived in this apartment that had horrible brown pressboard cabinet doors that made the kitchen feel like a cave. i took off the doors and painted the insides blue. (I left two by the stove with the doors on to hide some messy elements)
it made me keep my cabinets that were exposed all organized. everyone that came into my kitchen was surprised and loved it!!

omg and wig3000 thank you for the tips. That is exactly the kind of advice I'm looking for! Now I'll just see if I can afford anything in the areas :) (I wish I could afford Alameda, but alas, it is still to pricey)
And I am okay for a loan after years of scrimping and polishing my credit.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

To narrow down my search, we are looking to do some activities but not anything that a big resort would offer. we are looking for a small town that has a restaurant or two.
We are looking on the Pacific coast, though. does that narrow it down?
God, I love the AT community!

i had just toured Buckingham Palace a couple days before on a layover in London on my way to Turkey. I was all impressed and awed by Buckingham. until i got to turkey and Topkapi. It made Buckingham Palace look like a shack!!! Topkapi was amazing. But then again, I have to agree with london 2434 that there is just SO much to see!

I really like the ideas of using painted canvases as your headboard (either a solid color or a picture), but here's my question:
if you sit in bead leaning against your headboard reading like i do, won't that stretch the canvas out after a while? what would be a cheap material to put behind it to make it solid?

OOOOO I need an iron!
My ex-boyfriend decided that it was a good idea to take ours (read: mine) to the sail loft he runs to use on sails with industrial glue. Needless to say, its a goner!
