My first two apartments didn't have a washer/dryer. So every two weeks I'd stuff all my laundry in one of the big flexible cloth hampers and drive to my moms. I'd chat and catch up with the family between loads.

Now my current apartment has a washer/dryer, which is so much more convenient (though i'm sure my mom preferred the other system). I plan on holding onto this place for as long as I can.

While I think you should always replace your underthings when they get old and worn out, I don't think you should start tearing through your drawers just because your SO is going to be living with you. People who are moving in together are generally past the trying to impress stage. And if they're not before, they will be after they've walked in on their partners using the bathroom two or three times. By then, who cares about a little holey underwear.

@LyonStill I'm with you. As a single with no roommates, laundry is not a big affair. I do it when I need clothes or have enough for a load. My wardrobe is small and most of my time spent out is at work in a (half) uniform. So the time between loads can be a while.

I hang most of my clothes, which really cuts down on sorting-n-folding time. The only clothes that actually get folded are my lazing around the house tees and sweats. And I really don't care if those get properly folded or not..

Guess I'm the only person here that finds this a little funny?

Really don't see the problem that's got everyone up in arms. The rabbit was eaten, so it's not like someone went out and skinned one for the hell of it. A furry tea cozy isn't to your taste. That's fine, to each their own. But do you have to be so dramatic about it? Vomiting and killing yourself for owning such a thing? Really?

LBro is right. When sitting in a standard chair position, you get a kink in the bowel which can make the whole process more difficult. Squatting, or getting as close to squatting as you can, straightens that kink and makes it easier and quicker.

So unless you have a condition of some kind that makes squatting difficult or impossible, getting the lowest toilet you can is best.

Wow.

All but one of those beds costs more than what I paid for my CAR.

Ah, fraudulent olive oil. Now there's an old tradition.

It's a pretty common problem for olive oil. If a bottle says 'Italian olive oil,' chances are it's not from Italy, not made from olives, or both. And in some cases it can be oil that's a year old or more that's been 'cleaned' up. It's pretty big industry too. People have compared it to cocaine trafficking in terms of profits.

The fake/altered stuff is so prevalent, if you had a taste test with generally available olive oil and 100% guarantee pure olive oil, a lot of people would pick the pure stuff as the fake because the taste is so different than what they're used to.

Personally, I'd get rid of those pillows. Get pillows that are dark, with a solid matte color (the couch fabric looks shiny enough). Same with the curtains, go dark.

But if the fabric really bothers you, and you have the money, you can always reupholster it.

It should be worth a mention that if you're going to be sitting for a long time, you should slouch back rather than sit upright. There've been recent studies that've shown that sitting straight at a 90 degree angle is rather bad for your back. Better to be relaxed back at (around) a 130 degree angle. It stresses the spine a lot less.
