I love it. I just could never afford it. My grocery getter bike cost me $600, and that took forever to save for.

I'd egg crate foam the wall, then hang heavy drapes. I'd also move my bed to the opposite side of the room. Then, I'd sleep with a small fan on. As a last resort, I'd put earplugs in at night.

Can you tell I've had horribly noisy roommates?

Oh my god! There are humping possums! I hadn't noticed, mskk!

I was just wishing for something like this last weekend.

I use baking soda. My scalp was flaking, itchy, and I tried not shampooing, and surprisingly my scalp cleared up completely. I just scrub my scalp with baking soda, and rinse it out. I rinse with apple cider vinegar and rinse again. My hair is less greasy, and my scalp feels way better. I won't go back to using shampoo.

I really like that.

Thank goodness you got the fire out.

My biggest mess wasn't so dangerous. I was making candied ginger, which I've made a thousand times before. I lost track of time, and it boiled over. I had ginger syrup all over everything.

My friends referred to it as the sugar apocalypse. It took me months to get the floors clean, because every time I mopped, and thought it was clean, we'd walk on it, and feel that it wasn't. I had to pull the stove out, and scrape hardened sugar syrup off the sides of the stove. I never did get it all out of the top of the range, despite pulling the top off the stove. It had hardened too much.

Now I can't make candied ginger without a heavy round of mocking from everyone.

I lived in an apartment that resurfaced our tub. It's got to be one of the most toxic processes I've ever seen. The guys that did it, were very concerned about my cat being in the house at all. They said it's just that toxic. We ended up sealing off my master bedroom with tape, and full fans in the window to keep out the fumes. It took days for the stuff to stop off gassing to an unbearable smell level.

And after all that, the thing started peeling right off. It had to be done all over again. Even then, six months later, it was already bubbling. We are not weird, or hard on our tub, either. I just stand and shower in the thing. Nothing else.

It's a lot cheaper, and durable to just replace the tub with a Re-Store style industrial salvage tub.

I'm with the first poster. I have a GI related disease, and my best friend has Crohn's. The recycled stuff just doesn't work if you're already sore and sensitive. I've been pricing washlets, but I'm a little daunted by the prospect of putting one in, and trying to get warm water to it.

Actually, I have been looking, and Amazon's behavior with DRM and whatnot sold me on getting the Sony instead.
