I use spam filtering for my gmail accounts, so no need for a separate account. But the security suggestion is brilliant, assuming that you really can keep the address secret, i.e., someone who hacks your account can't see the address. Why You Need at Least 4 Email Addresses |

I also grew up in Ohio and had a laundry chute. We used ours all the time. The house was two stories + basement. There was a door on both the second and first floors. It had a cover at the bottom so laundry wouldn't end up on the floor if a basket wasn't there. Sometimes stuff would get stuck at the first level, and you'd just open the chute's door and push it down. What Secret Is This Vanity Hiding? Thrifty Decor Chick |

About ten years ago I helped one of my dissertation advisors design t-shirts shirts for a scientific meeting he was organizing. I specifically looked at the Martha Stewart names and picked out ridiculously unhelpful names for green, blue and yellow. When the scientists were checking in, I'd ask them which t-shirt color they wanted--using the unhelpful names (but showing them). It was pretty funny to make all the PhDs say the ridiculous names.

Too funny. I thought I was the only one that relied on a single, favorite spoon. It's one that I picked up at a vintage store. I used to have several, but lost the others somewhere along the way. It's more of a soup spoon shape and I like it for cereal and soup. For ice cream, I'll use a any old tea spoon, though. The Favorites What Do You Actually Use? |

I remember being piled into the car to go garage sale-ing when we'd visit my Granny in West Virginia. Depression glass was highly sought after on these trips. My Granny along with one of my aunts were good at sniffing out valuable stuff, which they'd resell at a little store they kept. What's Your Earliest Antiquing Memory? |

I like the juxtaposition of the earthiness of the flooring and paint colors with the more glitzy furniture choices. The kitchen seems to stark for the rest of the space, though. Kevin Sharkey's High Over the Hudson House Tour |

Wal Mart has some tension rods that look more like regular rods. There is a special contraption that goes inside the frame, so the rod can be placed in a normal spot outside the frame. How to Hang Curtains Without Making Holes in the Wall? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Los Angeles |
