YAY it's about time they joined the rest of the shows and channels offered on Hulu. I ALWAYS am checking out episodes...it allows me to watch what and when i want to...even if a breaking news "break" about swine flu interrupts my regularly scheduled show...i know hulu won't. :)

There is something very comforting when I look at the "vintage" egg slicer. I just brings back subtle images of German summers, watching my mom or aunts make potato salad or egg salad, or Sunday mornings past and present.
:)

My mom still does this. Ha. And we live in Suburbia (S. FL). The neighbors look at her weird, but it's what she's always done -- even in communist Germany, and it's what she'll keep doing until she can't anymore. :) Gotta love that European heritage.

I absolutely love the wine storage inside the fireplace. I'm sure it's not the first time someone thought of this approach, but it's the first time I've ever seen it and I love it. Going into the mental inspiration box. :)

I've known someone who "went" vegetarian for a while - a few years - and switched back to eating meat (not sure what made her switch back). During the time that she was a vegetarian her mood and overall outlook was a lot more pessimistic and mean. She just wasn't always a great person to be around. This became more apparent once she switched back to eating meat. Not instant or like a light switch noticeable, but still evident.

Can anyone relate/explain why something like this would happen? Has this happened to anyone here?

I see that a lot of people have posted their tidbits about Tea. I am also a beginner when it comes too tea consumption. I would like to add: watch Alton Brown Good Eats episode on tea. That's the show that did it for me, it helped me realize that it's not just tea bags and boiling water. Lots of tips mixed in too. I actually found the episode. YAY it's called Trew Brew, 2 parts.
Enjoy!

I get my loose tea from Teavana (in a mall around the corner) I've heard people also buy loose tea online.

I love that Mrs. Obama broke with tradition, and instead created an opportunity for education.

I like the gender neutral colors - yellow, green, and purple. If I ever decide to have kids, I will definately embrace one of those colors for nursery and such.

I've got a reason, how about the simple fact of respecting mother nature? People who just toss their tree on the side of the road - LONG before bulk pickup is due is just such a sorry image. We buy these trees in their glory...proud parents we strap them onto our cars and pay lots of money for them, decorate them to bring out their best features and then a few short weeks later we toss them like a dirty diaper.

I loathe seeing tree that have been dropped off in some vacant lot or field in the middle of the night...and are just left there.

I am hosting a small themed movie night. We agree on a theme - tonight we've agreed to "old school Disney" (we're in our early 20s) - and everyone who is coming is bringing their pick and we'll sit and watch all of them one after another. should be fun.

Other themes on the list were Foodie movies, Books that became movies, british humor, etc. etc.
