I've had really good luck with the Malm dresser line from IKEA. Smooth tracks, no sag, have made it through 3 moves and 4 years and are still going strong. Only issue is the veneer will pull up if they get wet, so use a coaster.

I cover my hair, because I hate getting dust in my hair. Other than that, I try to remember to wear grubby clothes so I don't ruin anything nice.

We had one of these growing up (1930s Craftsman) and all of us kids learned pretty quickly to stay off of it. He probably learned his lesson and won't step on it again.

Do. Not. withhold rent over this. The laws on withholding rent vary based on the state you're in, but in general, they only apply to non-livable situations. Not liking how your neighbor keeps their half of a shared garage is not a non-livable situation. Withholding rent will just get you evicted.

Also, many disabled people can and do walk perfectly fine, so the fact your neighbor can walk doesn't mean she's not disabled.

What about a senior housing complex or something like that? Seems like the type of thing that would actually be useful, rather than junk, for someone with arthritis.

The big pumpkins sold for decoration are actually pretty crappy for pies. :( You'd want a little sugar pumpkin to make a pie with. Roasting the seeds is fun, easy, and tasty though.

My cat is too weird about what she will and won't scratch that I couldn't risk a fancy scratcher that would go to waste. Right now she's liking the ones from Ikea, which is great as they're super cheap.

My cat's favorite toy is a drawstring out of an old pair of sweatpants. It's too wide for her to eat, so I don't have to worry about it like I would smaller string. (She's also never even tried to eat anything that wasn't food. I know I'm lucky in that regard.) Next best toy is one of those bendy sticks with feathers on the end.

Mrs. Mack - I've always found that poodle mixes shed the least, and have hair that is more hair like and less fur like.

I've been wondering about green ways to get rid of fleas. A friend recommending sprinkling Borax on the carpet (and then vacuuming after a day or so) to kill flea eggs, but is that safe to do around my cat?

I'm also curious whether other cat owners use things like Soft Paws and what they think of them. I mainly just keep my cat's claws trimmed and it's fine, but occasionally some extra blunting would be nice.

Pick me!
