This isnt an ice-breaker, but my friend Deanna always exits parties by telling people, "I'm so glad you got to meet me!" Cracks me up every time. What's Your Very Best Ice Breaker? Reader Discussion |

I bought some old motel chairs that were in much worse condition. I looked up sandblasters in the yellow pages and the place I went with charged me $25 a chair. As soon as you get them back you'll want to prime them with spray paint that is specifically for metal. Let dry, then coat with a couple of rounds of good quality spray paint. My chairs stay outside and look brand new a couple of years later.I looked into the powder coat option but it was prohibitively expensive. Advice For Refinishing Rusty Tolix Chairs? Good Questions |

This isnt just an urban problem. Our cabin on 10 acres in Wisconsin until the NFH moved nearby with 5 coon hounds. He was completely uncooperative. You've never heard noise till you've heard these beasts howling for 8 hours starting at 4 in the morning. We've called the police multiple times, he plead not-guilty, paid his fine, then got more coon hounds. The police have been understanding and cooperative but it maddening to have it continue. We document every time with a time sheet on the fridge, record with audio and video when we can, and call the police every time. I have too much invested in my property and will not let this moron ruin it. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Would You Call The Police on a Noisy Neighbor?Good Questions |

When in Buenos Aires check out the Buenos Aires Desgn Center. There was so much I wanted to buy there, but had limited luggage space. Great prices with the dollar still relatively strong against the Argentine peso. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Bright Idea: New Use For An Old Bulb |

Beautiful place. My Wisconsin cabin is built out of a barn that was going to come down. The wood is gorgeous both inside and out-lots of character you just cant reproduce with new wood. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Renovated Barn by Architype |
