Who would be uncomfortable asking someone to remove their shoes upon entering the house? It's standard etiquette to take off your shoes when going into someone's house. Just surprised that tip had to make the list.
As an allergy sufferer, I do institute a lot of those tips, but still have to faithfully take an oral antihistamine, steroid nasal spray and have my asthma inhalers close by. Environmental avoidance only goes so far.

I grew up having to retrieve things from my parents' packed-to-the-brim-chest-freezer, and upon purchasing my own freezer a few years back, bought the upright freezer with glee. No more sore back from almost climbing inside to find something at the bottom and no more cold fingers from moving things around to pick up something under that giant turkey. So much easier...

Looking at my list, I forgot cucumbers, potatoes, jalapeno peppers and chili peppers...

I have 3 big windows in my kitchen--one over the sink and two flanked side by side in the kitchen nook. Bright and sunny--I couldn't imagine having no windows in there, or in any room, really.

Hi William,
The picture of your living room excites me. I have one of the leather/bent wood chairs as well--either the same or similar--and have been scouring the internet for a couple years trying to find out who made it. Do you have any idea who designed them/manufactured them?
My chair belonged to my father; I once saw 2 for sale on Queen St in Toronto and did not purchase them at the time--I am kicking myself now.
