I've been told that if the building has fire escapes at each unit then it's likely there is no fireproofing between floors and hence no sound barrier. It makes sense to me.

I hate the walls and I hate the brass. This reminds me of my grandmother's old grungy kitchen but with more pink...not appealing at all.

In response to "misohungry"...I have to say that it depends on how "good" the relationship actually was. If there were many good times that were all being had under false assumptions (i.e. the bf was living a double life, oslt) then, the thought of those "good times" might just make one want to vomit. My ex bought me a $600 mountain bike, I got rid of almost everything but that bike. I thought about selling it, but why? Now, every time I ride it I chuckle knowing that I came away with something worth much more than what he could have ever given me in a spiritual/emotional sense. I also consider it my compensation for the time I spent blindly accepting every false word. To each his/her own, but after the initial grieving and self-pity, just get rid of all of the dust-collecting crap unless it really serves a positive purpose. If it does, assign that item a role that contradicts the role the ex was playing in your life.

Thank you Loki, Sarah and lotus...I thought about ground chipotle since I recently started using it in other soups and it does add that nice deep smoke flavor...but I will also experiment with the liquid smoke and smoked paprika...especially since the chipotle tends to add a lot of heat

Can anyone offer any ideas on a vegetarian option or an alternative to the ham bone? I'm really looking for something to provide the same smoky flavor without the ham of course.

Thanks!

How do you keep them from becoming a bacterial harvesting medium...especially if they are used to clean in the kitchen?
