17 sickened just last week near Portland, OR from a "herd-share" farm, 4+ children hospitalized. Is Raw Milk Worth It? Dan Barber Says Yes. The New Yorker Flag this comment	4/25/12 12:10 PM
Do NOT go w/Jenn-Air. Great product & features but a huge design flaw in the control panel (oven heat/steam gets behind it & shorts out the circuits, rendering the whole oven useless--stove still ok). Our 4 year-old Jenn-Air is on its 3rd control board. Horrible dealing w/them on the phone, too.

I have a horseshoe-shaped dining room with glass block on the round wall: one-of-a-kind! It's pretty narrow & claustrophobic with the dining table & chairs & is rarely used. This Thanksgiving we had a bigger crowd & moved our dining out into the living room & stored the living room furniture in the DR. But after arranging it properly, we found that it's a really cozy & cute space, so we've kept the switch. Curving Walls: 3 Round Dining Rooms Flag this comment	4/5/12 3:31 PM

Yes, our policy is related to what @nopen described. So for class parties we try to be a bit creative & balanced (pretzels, grapes, cookies, popcorn); for kids' birthdays parents will bring in doughnuts, bagels, cookies, popsicles...just depends. 5 Sweet & Healthy Treat Ideas for Kids' Classrooms Flag this comment	3/28/12 1:24 PM

I inherited grapefruit spoons from my grandma; they're jagged at the tip and are perfect for the more traditional segment-scooping once the grapefruit is halved. How To Cut a Grapefruit In Segments for Easier Enjoyment Flag this comment	3/8/12 7:33 PM

Or fill your sink/bucket & throw in several rags. Wring them out really & attach them to a swiffer-like mop. Use one per room & switch them out--then you're NEVER mopping with dirty water. The best ones I have are from old sweatshirts, microfiber cloths, cloth diapers. Cleaning Geekout: Life Changing Bucket Flag this comment	1/26/12 11:20 AM
Awesome space & so many great ideas already! My 2 cents: 1) Remove trapezoid. Keep mantle & surround..or not. 2) Keep red paint--or repaint with any of the great suggestions above--but remove top 2 or 3 sets of shelves on each side of fireplace. Lower shelves for selected treasures (not books). 3) Hang framed panels of tapestry, wallpaper, or art on both sides of fireplace. 4) TV above fireplace, or mirror with a frame that mimics the ceiling features? 5) Maximize/improve bookshelves/storage on back brick wall and have it all there. Good luck! Hivemind Designer: What Would You Do With This Wall? Flag this comment	1/25/12 2:25 PM
(Old-model) Roomba for laziness, fun, getting under cabinets, etc. Good on hardwoods. (Old-model) Yellow Dyson is the BEST design, attachments, ease of use--but not great suction. Love that it's bagless. Consumer-reports-recommended Kenmore w/HEPA bags--great suction, great on carpets, TOO heavy & cumbersome using the attachments. Reader Roundup: The Best Vacuum?

A big, colorful basket with side handles could go on top of the fridge & hold your cereal, chips, bread, etc.--easy to take down & put up if you don't have cupboard storage for those.
