Okay, just looked it up on google, and that is the same picture that hung in the Huxtable's living room. It's called Funeral Procession and is by Ellis Wilson. I always loved that painting on the show. Cool.

My airchair is a rocker. If you breastfeed it really helps to make those late night feedings more comfortable. And the footstool is great too, if you have the room.

I noticed something similar in a neighborhood near me. My son and I always think it's funny when we drive past several houses that look like fat birds and one at the end that looks like a cat. We have a whole narrative that has evolved into something of a Tom & Jerry story. It makes us laugh!

JudiAU - great link, thanks for the info!!!

That is the most brillant DIY I've seen in a long time. Love it!!!

I second pencils comment. What is nudik talking about? I know parents who have lost a child to SIDS, with no prior risk factor established. Parents should do anything they can to prevent this awful tragedy.

This happens in three of my light fixtures. It drives me crazy. Does anyone know why it happens? Cheap fixtures? Everytime my husband removes one of the broken bulbs I ask him if he paid our life insurance policy. We still have one exposed in a ceiling fan that can't be easily reached. The potato idea sounds like it would work.

I really like this woman's work. My college roommate lived in Mali while working for Peace Corps around 2000. She sent me postcards of african dancers that were hand painted by local (black) artists that were beautiful, colorful and are very treasured by me. Gitte Brandt's paintings of african people are very similar to the work by black artists in Mali. I'm surprised people are offended by these pictures. They must also have their panties in a bunch over Robert Downey Jr.'s Oscar nod. Relax, people, it's art.

Thank you jennaelliot and bepsf: I had no clue what everyone was talking about. Okay, so I like the puff and (I'm now ashamed to say) I like Anthropologie. How does American Apparel "turn a profit" if they make their clothes in the US? If one man is worth a quarter of a BILLION $$$ it seems like they could pay a little more for the goods and still do okay in their profit margins. "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for one day; if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime" I understand that it is a good thing to provide jobs for people, it is far better than handing out charity. What I don't understand is why someone like Dick can't be more generous, less greedy, and pay the workers a little more for the goods they make. I would love to sit down with Judy off the record and get the real story of Dick. She seems like a smart woman.

We have been sans a box spring for the past four years. We discovered (after 6 months with our mattress on the floor) that our bed was million times firmer without the box spring. So when we finally found the perfect bed we picked up slats from Ikea and tossed the box spring. Now my husband I don't roll into the middle (unless, of course, we want to ;) )
