I was wondering exactly the same thing.

Its a dutch oven, heavy metal shaped into a pot and then enameled with some sort of ceramic enamel. If it costs $20 or $400 the end result is pretty much the same when it comes to the product, one may be made by hand one may be made by machine, one may use recycled metals one may use virgin metals. I can't justify paying $300 for a cooking pot.

"Napkin rings are a holdover from the days before washing machines, when table linens were not washed after every meal"

People washed their linens for a long time way before washing machines.

If you're going to have cloth napkins, please make sure they are cotton, otherwise it's like using a curtain as a napkin.

I wonder how much that would jack up the wattage consumption for a lightbulb?

There are these boxes you can buy that you hook it up to a phone line and to your electric box and it allows you to control several sets of lights by using a phone line, and by now, I would imagine you could use a smartphone as well.

USR sells some of thsoe I don't know what they are called, but its what big box stores use to have their lights remotely controlled.

I wish they hadn't changed the size of the phone, some people enjoyed the consistency.

Anyway, I have a flip dumbphone that costs $15 with unlimited calling and texting for $40.

I have used a smartphone for a year, and they suck as phones. I'm thinking of buying a iphone soon but only as a PDA with a data plan only, it is simply one of the best MP3 players out there.

Having your house lit is NOT a good idea, not the way to go, look at statistics, most robberies are done during day light, thieves need to see what they are doing, they can't steal much if they have to hold a flash light in their hand.

Mag lites.

Needed one for a headlight on a bike, got only five so far, but flash lights in general.

Got the new Mini Pro+ at 245 lumens, its as bright as a 2D LED at less than 6 inches.

Oh God...

I think I would have left them the way they were aesthetically, and replaced the hinges that made them look uneven, some serious washing for the veneer on those cabinets.

Love the chair.

They should have invested in speakers with 3.5mm plug ins instead of 30 pin proprietary apple docks.

Not everyone lives in NYC and thinks that $30 for a jar to keep your staples is reasonable.

Maybe AT needs to find writers in the mid-west with a different sense of costs and financial reality more in tune with the rest of the US.
