"If you cant afford it, then you shouldnt own it. "
What a pompous ass!

No..it's called integrity. I dont support the theft of other people's work and I dont steal myself. I dont buy fake Coach purses. I dont download music for free. I dont buy knockoffs of designer chairs because the original is out of my price range. If you want to steal, that's your choice. Just be honest about what you're doing.

I've never understood the point of this product. Why a drawer? I see no benefit to that at all versus a door. And the drawer's reduced size versus a regular dishwasher will limit the size of items you can put in.

Even the commercials I've seen for it don't demonstrate a consumer benefit. It's just a guy saying "dish...drawer...dish...drawer." So what is the selling point of this product?

For the people here saying they love them...why? how are they different from a standard dishwasher for you? I am truly baffled by this product.

I love Fiesta Ware and I love how you've used the colors as the theme for your kitchen. I also really like those two slim cabinets on either side of your stove...what a great use of space. The floor is fun and interesting and one of the elements that I think makes this kitchen a winner. It would have been easy to go tame there.

I like everything about this entry, though I find the tile backsplash a bit busy/distracting. But once again..that was an area that would have been easy to go neutral on..so congrats that you went bold and colorful! You have a fun, happy, homey kitchen.

and there's never such a thing as 'too much' Fiesta Ware!

this topic is making me feel so much better. I also sort everything by color, including socks.

I have two rods..the one on the left is all tops/shirts. the one on the right is all skirts, dresses, pants on hangers.

And on the back wall between the two rods I have two stacks of those closet organizers that hold bins for socks that are sorted by color, various bins for undies, and a bin for sleeping-in only tshirts, etc. it holds 9 bins..and only takes up a two square feet of closet floorspace. A friend claims the fact that I fold my undies means I am officially crazy. but I am feeling very at home here!

the bins are rubbermaid, and I bought eight but needed nine and they quit making this style, so one bin doesnt match. and it still bugs me! I wont even admit how far I've driven trying to find that last matching bin. Then you would know that I really am officially crazy.

the idea of putting on borrowed slippers that other people have worn is disgusting. yuck.

I have that same ice bucket. If only I had a dollar for every time a guest has asked "What is THAT?"

it's a great old oak card catalog cabinet. it's not supposed to look modern. why not sell it for a couple hundred dollars and buy what you really want.

it takes quite alot of nerve and lack of consideration to make permanent changes to SOMEONE ELSE'S property. If someone painted property that I owned against my wishes, I would do more than keep their deposit, I'd sue them.

Moving someone else's laundry: if the machine has stopped and you are not there to remove your own clothes, it's perfectly acceptable for someone else to move them. They dont know if/when you'll return. Just be there before the load is finished, and your problem is solved.

This whole thread has reminded me of how very happy I am not to be dealing with laundromats and apt laundry rooms anymore.
The hygiene angle of putting my clothes in a machine that dozens and dozens of strangers have also used has always creeped me out.
