I had a relative systematically steal from me for the better part of a year. They were very careful at first about taking small things that could have easily been misplaced...but it escalated to the point that things were obviously taken. They had broken out a panel to a locked storage room in the house and we only realized when they forgot to replace the panel. DIY Secret Hiding Spots |

I think it's comical how total strangers love to spout "it must be nice" about everything they don't personally own or aspire to. I have way more clothing, shoes and bags than any of these...and seeing this gives me definite ideas about organizing it better. Real-Life Inspiration: Converting a Bedroom Into a Dressing Room |

I've actually done something similar to this with some book shelves I managed to find on clearance at Walmart. They are surprisingly sturdy and look better than they should considering how cheap they were. Convert an IKEA Stolmen Into a George Nelson-Style Wall Unit IKEA Hackers |

The only way someone destroying a book to use for a project is awful is if the book didn't belong to them. If I pay for a book, choosing to read it or use it for wallpaper is my decision alone. 10 DIY Ideas for Book-Based Kids' Decor |

I think registries can be a good thing, since your taste may not agree with the gift recipient. And I have a strict policy of only attending weddings etc of close friends and relatives. A Freewheeling Discussion Of Wedding Registries |

2 years ago I moved out of a massive rundown overpriced 3 bdrm apartment into a quiet 1 bdrm. There is a livingroom/dining area/kitchen, a good sized bedroom with a huge closet with built in shelving, and a large bathroom. Also there is deck with plenty of room for company on warm Summer nights. Tell Us: What Was Your Best Apartment Deal Ever? |

I can't tell you the number of times I been about to give away something and a sibling has started with the "how can you just give that away?" speech. So, I end up holding on to things I don't want, that I don't have space for. One Minute Tip: Two Ways to Give Things Away Apartment Therapy Videos |

When I can't be in my office I have calls forwarded from my office phone to my private number. These calls are generally dealing with law enforcement and child protection agencies, if any of my friends were to answer my phone or even check my caller ID I would be furious.

I never understood the appeal of CPKs, as a child or now. To me they were the ugliest thing imaginable. All my cousins begged for them during the craze(one boy cousin even had a CP Pet cat named Adamorous). I was not overjoyed at receiving a doll I thought too hideous to display among my Barbies and Strawberry Shortcakes. The Original Cabbage Patch Kids (and Other Christmas Morning Disappointments) |

When living in the UK I decided a traditional Thanksgiving dinner would cure my homesickness. In addition to the 6 guests I was intending, at least a dozen others were invited by my well-meaning(non-cooking) bf. Which meant spending the entire day before grocery shopping and preparing to feed a mob. It was noisy, crowded, not enough seating, more food than a small army could eat, and everyone loved it...exactly like Thanksgiving at home. Celebrating Thanksgiving in London |
