Having the right wine glass really does make a difference. The big test is to drink some wine out of a regular inexpensive wine glass and then take a sip out of a high end wine glass such as Riedel. You will notice the difference. I love my Riedel and I wouldn't drink wine out of anything else at home. Yes they are more expensive than other wine glasses, but they do make a difference and they'll last for years if you're careful with them.

I love the green kitchen! I mean LOVE! I would take that kitchen in a heartbeat. LOVE it! Did I get my point across?

I'm almost 50 and I've lived in 32 places since birth! Only 7 of those places I would call home including the rental I live in now. I've owned 3 of the 32 places and I don't consider any of those places homes, even though I lived in one of them for 5 years. The place I live in now is home because I have it exactly the way I want, I love the apartment, the neighborhood and the city. I'm also in a good place in my career and overall I'm happy.

My perfect roommates were during my Jr and senior years of college. I moved into a very old house with three other guys and it worked out perfect over the 2.5 years I lived there. The house wasn't fancy, but it met our basic needs. The house was owned by one of the guys mom, so he was sort of our landlord, but it all worked out. We had house meetings and everyone pulled his weight. One of the best times in my life.

I work in a grocery store and I always buy boxes when I move (home depot has them for cheap). The boxes in grocery stores get put in a baler as they are emptied and the stores get paid for the bale. I also like boxes that are the same size when buying them They are easier to stack and move. I too have stories of helping friends move that weren't packed. I'm done with that. I hire movers whenever I move. It's not that expensive if it's a local move.

I once helped some friends move and when I got to their house they hadn't even started packing! It was a nightmare.

I'm past that age (late 40's) where you ask your friends to help you move. I've moved a lot and the best way is to hire movers. It's not that expensive for local moves. I usually move the small items myself and have the movers move the furniture and other larger items.

I had to call 911 recently and even though I was calling from my home, the cal went to the wrong county and the 911 operator transferred my call to the county I resided in. It all worked out!
