@charlie26 do you not think you might be overreacting a little bit? A little bacteria does not hurt anybody and if you let the food cool down in a closed container the chance of bacteria is very small, is it not? 8 Easy Energy Saving Tips for the Kitchen Natural Home & Garden Flag this comment	1/6/12 10:05 AM

My coffee machine that sucks electricity like crazy. But the espresso is only really good when the machine is really hot. Also leaving my mac on all day, when I am at work. That American obsession with paper towels is really strange to me. Does everyone have one of those dispensers in their bathroom? Also for the person who said that their washing machine is in the basement and he or she doesn't want to have buck loads of towels to wash. What about using the same towel for your hands for a whole week? I'm pretty sure that is what most people do in Europe and I really don't think it's unhygienic. Your hands are clean when you are wiping them clear. Eco Confessions: What's Your Non-Green Guilty Pleasure? Flag this comment	6/5/11 8:43 AM
Everywhere I read that mint grows like crazy. Well, I have mint on my balcony and it doesn't grow well at all, it looks dry and seems to need a lot of water. My Basil and Chives are flourishing though. Can anyone help? The Do's & Don'ts of Growing Mint Flag this comment	5/24/11 12:01 PM
That is a beautiful place. But PLEASE get rid of the flooring in the living room. With all that old wood, that probably fake wood flooring looks bad. From Junk To Funk In Donna's Handmade Home House Tour Flag this comment	5/13/11 11:06 AM

I think the best thing for your boyfriend to do at this time is to volunteer somewhere, to give u a couple of hours every day without him around... Plus it will give him a better sense of purpose then hanging around looking for a job, while his girlfriend is hard at work Sharing a Studio Apartment and Working From Home \| Apartment Therapy Los Angeles Flag this comment	12/11/09 11:25 AM
im also for deep greys and or yellow Color Scheme to Complement an Ice Blue Petrie Sofa? Good Questions \| Apartment Therapy New York Flag this comment	12/11/09 11:21 AM
In my opinion it looked much better before. It's a shame the bricks were painted over, but the worst is the gray paint. That makes it look shabby to me. Anyway the first pic also looks much better because it was taken on a nicer day and there are a lot of plants and a tree there. So it might be good when a tree and plants are back. But I would change the gray color ASAP. What Type of House is This? Good Questions \| Apartment Therapy Boston Flag this comment	12/10/09 11:26 AM
i love ikea. but really dont like my black Muddus table. It looks great in most pictures and I actually got inspired to buy it by pictures on this site. But it in real life it looks cheap, not so much in the shop as in my home. Maybe its the black color that makes it worse. Anyway it does its job with a big tablecloth)))) Apartment Therapy Chicago \| 5 Uses for IKEA's Muddus Table Flag this comment	11/6/09 11:36 AM
After having always left it plugged even when the battery was fully charged, for a year with my Dell laptop that is now 2,5 years old. The battery life went from 2 hours to 20 minutes. So yeah whatever the makers say. I will now ALWAYS unplug when my battery is fully charged, or take out the battery alltogether. Dont listen to the Dells of this world that say you shouldnt use your laptop with the battery not inside. This is just a trick to make more money on selling more batteries!!!
