I care about the environment, but I cannot use rough paper. It really is an issue for some of us. Besides the level of softness it cannot leave paper crumbs, yuk! I also cannot understand when I am in a public ladies room and hear people unrolling yards and yards, I figure I aid the environment by not making a paper nest!

Mine don't drip, they are solid bottoms. I guess the moisture just evaporates.

I have this one: http://www.charlesprogers.com/paris-sleigh-bed-open-p-441.html?cPath=6_58

The prettiest part is near the head though and kinda gets lost. But they say you need at least 1 black thing in each room.

Jonnifer it also got all the skin really crispy. The bottom half (legs) was roasted with all the bottom side skin up so no flabby stewed skin there!

Last year I cut the bird in half at the waist. I separated the breast 1/2 from the legs/thighs 1/2 and started the leg half first. It was great no over cooked breast and you could still stick the 2 halves back together back on the platter for presentation.

Please do not make me take off my shoes, it may be cleaner and or your custom, but it seems rude to me. I understand the cleanliness issue but I do not want to walk around barefoot or in questionable slippers on your clean or not so clean floor. If you need me to remove my shoes let me know ahead of time so I may choose to enter or not, or don't invite me in. If I refuse to remove (for my personal, cleanliness, embarrassment. or other issue) will you refuse me entry? If it is a party, get over it, clean the shoe mess up along with the spilled drink, spilled food mess and live with it. Unless you have a real health issue (and then should you be having random germy people in your place anyway?) you should just live with it for the night. Honestly I would have more issues with people using my rest room than my floor. How many people need to use a restroom hand towel before it is gross? My guess is 1. Funny thing is I love being barefoot, but toenail fungus not on my list of party favors I am looking to take home.

Shame on Target for not producing enough to meet demand or perhaps limiting supply to increase demand. Seems slimy to me, in my opinion. Buy all you want, I am sure it makes you and Target happy. I do not like to feed frenzies if I can help it. I also do not shop on black Friday so maybe I am a retail disappointment.

I absolutely will not buy into the hysteria! I think a lot of the pieces are very nice, but I am hating the ebay vultures and Target for allowing and encouraging the hysteria and piracy of the situation. I like target but this is too much. Shame on you Target!

If you are going to paint, might as well paint the plank lines on as well. Figure out how wide and long, mark them off and go for it on top of the painted floor.

My daughter helped her best friend move via U-Haul truck from New Haven, CT to SF and he determined that it cost about as much to do that as it would have to have the items moved by someone else. You need to factor in gas, food, lodging and the value of your time when you do the comparison.

I have these and do not like them, however I know for a fact that underneath them is badly damaged plaster over lathe that will be messy and expensive to deal with so I keep it painted and try not to look at it. The way I see it my dollars are better spent elsewhere right now. I figure if my ceiling is the worst thing in my house....
