ktoth04- At our local sushi restaurant I always ask them to substitute a soy wrap for the seaweed and it holds together very well. I've seen the soy wraps on sale at asian grocery stores and even a well-stocked deli!

My mom always used something called "Terro" ant killer. I am certain it isn't green, but I cannot abide ants and would do anything to get rid of them. I used this several months ago when we had an infestation in the kitchen. You drip some of the poison onto little pieces of cardboard and hide them around where the ants are, they take the poison back to the nest and take out the whole colony. The trick of it is that they actually increase at first (yuck!) and then all go away: for good. I have to say that I was surprised at how thoroughly it worked. As for the spiders, we still haven't found a way to eliminate them. Good Luck!

I had a home birth six months ago and my midwife loaned me her birthing stool. Eventhough I didn't use it, it is nice to plan for all eventualities and it was handy for extra seating (for others that is). I actually think it is a good idea to make a birth plan, knowing full well that it is like any plan...amended by reality. There are many ways to approach birth and some people really benefit from making a birth plan, which helps them to think about, prepare for, and envision their birth experience. One thing to consider about birthing stools is that squatting tends to put pressure on your perineum, not great if you have a fast labor and a big baby...
