Save yourself the aggravation of having to take it all down in a half a doz years or so when water gets between the tile and the board and creates problems and just take down the tile on the wall now. Putting in wallboard (get the special drywall for bathrooms) is really easy and then applying the pvc beadboard or wainscoting is super easy - a glue job.

My hubby and I did this in our tiny bathroom in our apt (which we now rent) about 4 years ago when I was 7 months pregnant. It really was easy, is super low maintenance, and still looks great!

meh.

In the middle of a site design for a big project myself I feel your pain on making choices for clarity, design, and for reader usability.

The new site is cleaner and possibly easier to navigate once ppl learn the ropes but does lack the warmth/community feel I had visually from reading OhDeeDoh daily and hopping over to the other sites when links at the bottom of the page caught my eye...

The rebranding of the names to more generic channel headers - I'm not sure is the best choice community-wise but is smart to pull everyone together under one umbrella and create a sense of centrality for AT as the core.
Not sure multiple listing of posts in multiple channels will be effective. I don't want to have to scroll through something I've already read somewhere else...hmm.
I didn't mind the cross posting in the old design b/c it was a cross link to the other sites...not just a duplicate posting...

I agree that sans serif for the comments is tiring on the eyes... but the larger font size is helpful.

Good luck!

another landlord going - OMG... NO! Love the image but not the holes. Unless someone's going to spackle and paint that isn't me...

I think someone should inform Pantone that actually it seems the big color is "yellow" - at least according to OhDeeDoh readers...

maybe this is better as a cross post for ohdeeddoh but what my husband would really like is MORE LEGOs to play w/ our son and STORAGE for said legos...

Made these w/My mom once when I was like 10 or 11 - they lasted YEARS.

I do this with my students (I teach theatre) and after dress rehearsals, performances etc - if we find a shoe or a belt or, heaven help them, a prop that is just left around they have to buy it back for a buck. All the money goes to the cast party. It takes just about two kids a year to leave stuff out and then everyone realizes I'm not joking and they will really have to come up with a dollar... magically everything gets hung up and put away... (these are middle schoolers)

I would say (as a landlord who demanded a Sept 1 lease) that a good way to get a deal is to post an apt wanted in addition to looking on craigslist. I know someone already said it - but I really want to suggest it to you. When our month-to-month tenant gave us less than 30 days notice (which was required by her lease) we were able to fill the apt in 4 HOURS on craigslist for a sublet til Jan 1. And then when I posted it from Jan 1 to Sept 1 (at a 250 a month increase on the sublet so we were closer to market) a few weeks later after we decided we weren't selling it, I filled it in less than 24 hours. The rental market in town itself (we are in Fenway) is brutal. Post a wanted and hunt the craigslists ads and you will find something. Paying a realtor is not needed if you are willing to deal directly with small landlords who only own one or two properties and who get shafted by students all the time...

Every other day - planned out according to my days with big meetings etc. And I hate to admit it - but the highchair (once he was old enough after the bouncy seat in the bathroom was no longer an option) in front of a custom made 16 min sesame street youtube playlist not only got me showered but my kid knows his ABCs (six different songs) counts from 1-20 and can talk about octagons and friendships. So as far as TV goes I feel a little less guilty and its really important to be clean on big client meeting days!

This is perfect timing - its the only thing we are "behind" on ... if a 2 year old can be "behind" on school readiness. oy.
