As a manager of an Internet Service Provider...these companies have most likely received grants and then were required to provide lower cost/free service. Those grants are made possible by our tax dollars.

As much as I hate to sound "republican" since I am not...I'm also a mother of a 15 year old and a 7 year old and we just don't utilize the Internet for homework. We primarily use it for entertainment Netflix and surfing and it becomes more of an issue of restricting the time it's used by the kids.

Hmm and here I thought we read blogs to relax. I'm pretty sure most people don't come here to be bitched at by grammar nati. Please someone take away the Negative Nelly's internet access.

Since I bought this toilet paper holder we have not had last roll syndrome. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00162549 It holds 4 rolls and I've found it's the perfect high for little kids to reach and you can locate it right by the toilet.

I always buy onions in bulk. When I come home from the store while they are still in my bag and in the fishnet bag I just kinda rough them up by rolling them around. The skin comes off and I'm able to shake it into the trash or compost bin and they are ready to use. For the sticky part of the skin I just cut off the root first and that generally gets me a good start at peeling off the sticky layer.

We used to have a similar issue in our living room until we changed the carpet. We had a fern green on the walls. It was very striking yet cozy with the white trim. Our decor was mission style at the time.

Growing up in a traditional Swedish home and knowing a few Finns it struck me as a way more Swedish tradition than Finnish. http://www.soupsong.com/rartsopp.html Even the Wiki entry would lead me to believe it started in Sweden rather than Finland :)

They try to cluster cities that don't have a presence to the city that does have a AT category. People seriously need to start using more common sense and take things less personal and remove the stick out of their butt on this site. Merry Christmas everyone :)

A good vanilla is about all I can stand for sweet scents. Citrus are good but can be overpowering at times.

Honestly it looks like an ill kept or abused dog that was skinned and hung on the wall. Not my bag :)

Now if it was hanging on the wall in a super modern all concrete condo....it might fit but would still look like an abused animal skin on the wall.

I'm a techy and I use this method for my most important data. Mainly because I found myself wanting to access it wherever I went and whatever computer/phone I happened to take with me.

I've been using them in my daughters room as steps for quite sometime. If anyone was going to hurt themselves on the edges it would be my daughter and she hasn't in the 5 years of owning them.

I am so tired of "devils advocates". I really don't care why people do something reactive where the outcome is negative nor should you try and play devils advocate. It just shows are you are trying to start a passive aggressive argument and then when people post their comments against your view....you get to say "Hey I was just saying". Quit it! Be as outraged and ashamed that some is so stupid, lazy or whatever else they could be in this situation to lower themselves to killing bees.

If their child is allergic to bees...move to an urban area, keep the kid inside, or stick them in a bubble. God quit being lazy people.
