Wow. While people mourned, Rachael wondered about "hot or not!" The OP's post should have been deleted or edited to include a sincere apology. Way to go, Rachael.

BTW a sincere apology doesn't begin with "I didn't mean any harm, by golly-gee." How about... "I'm sorry for being insensitive to the fallen and their loved ones." The end.

There's much more to know about Haint Blue. Keep researching.

Surplus always stinks. What did they do to remove the odor?

In knotty pine land, sure. Kitchen with knotty pine cabinet, man's den, attic bedroom, etc. Retroland. Kissing up to a Scotsman.

...but not the example shown.

End of year lists are sooo mid century. What would Bennett Cerf say? "Let Phyllis do the decorating," probably.

Black cats have the same shelter rep. That makes more sense than this dog thing (if you take into consideration people's general stupidity and the association with Halloween). First time I've heard it applied to dogs.

I've seen shelters offer a free black cat with the purchase of a non-black cat.

Ick.

I have a security service sticker in my window. May we please have a post on those?

Thanks for the link, Sagekitten. Been in the market for them for about 24 hrs now. While cleaning the hardwoods, I noticed all the old doingers are bent.

Recycled mulch/mulch from the city around here means negative bugs and God knows what else. I use cedar and it's not for decoration.

Hand-weeding is the way to go. If you let it go too long, I highly recommend hand-pickaxing, too. :0)

Plant The Fairy or Darlow's Enigma under each window. They're very cute and will grab anyone who tries to climb in and hold them until the police arrive. I'm not kidding. You might have to pay the criminal's medical bills though.

As for the doors, add locks like it's a movie-style NYC apartment.

I drink unsweetened tea. I've always enjoyed it that way but then I enjoy black coffee, too... and, warm dark beer. Plus being female and Californian once meant an automatic no sugar allowed in drinks in public (pre-Starbucks).

My bf is from the South and drinks sweet tea so I suppose I will try it someday.

My bedroom is that color. Inherited it. Dislike looking at it... but it does flatter my rosy complexion.

My light blue desk is great. Easy to clean. Hasn't discolored or stained yet. I've only had it since the Fall.

I would put it together on soft carpet and away from walls and other furniture. I chipped one corner of the desk and one corner of a drawer on a wall.

I have the spindle lamp in red also. The base is fine. I really like it. The separately purchased shade is not a perfect fit. That's always been the case with my UO lamp and base combos.

Had one as a teen. Also had insurance for it as I was in an apartment. The sex was great. Thanks for asking.

Yay for 996! That's what I have in an old 3 br house. It's more than enough room.

My neighbors had the green. I had no idea it was a thing.

I use Fiesta and Franciscan Apple. Same as my grandmother. My parents had some navy blue Italian dishes. Can't remember the name.
