We have one, use it all the time. The only thing missing is interchangeable waffle plates so we can make waffles.

We just moved into a new, big apartment -- but we don't have enough art (yet) to hang on all the walls. There is a big space in our office/guest room right above the sofa that is just waiting for these. Arranged 2x2, framed by the crown molding and flanked by the original 1930's wall sconces, they would be perfect for us, especially since my boyfriend has been begging for chalkboard paint ever since we signed the lease.

like everyone else, i get pretty cold in the winter.

But the main reason I want to try it is because I was just watching My Dinner With Andre, and there's a scene (can you call it that? when it's almost one scene from beginning to end?) where they're talking about how we've created so many comforts for ourselves in society.

Andre: I think that means that instead of living under the sun and the moon and the sky and the stars, we're living in a fantasy world of our own making.

Wally: Yeah, but I mean, I would never give up my electric blanket, Andre. I mean, because New York is cold in the winter. I mean, our apartment is cold! It's a difficult environment. I mean, our life is tough enough as it is. I'm not looking for ways to get rid of a few things that provide relief and comfort. I mean, on the contrary, I'm looking for more comfort because the world is very abrasive. I mean, I'm trying to protect myself because, really, there's these abrasive beatings to be avoided everywhere you look!

Andre: But, Wally, don't you see that comfort can be dangerous? I mean, you like to be comfortable and I like to be comfortable too, but comfort can lull you into a dangerous tranquility.

Apartment Therapy, I would like to be lulled into a dangerous tranquility. The moment where Wallace Shawn describes his blanket - nothing has ever made me crave a heated blanket more.

careful with pets when you use grout whitener--but it does work!

The hype about the earth's impending doom? Totally warranted.

Hype about green products to BUY BUY BUY? That's hype. Most of what was in the TONY green issue was plain old marketing.

Does anyone have any tips about drains?

I have long hair and it's an eternal battle. The mesh hair-catcher I bought gets gross so quickly (seems to collect soap scum like nothing I've ever seen). And for kitchens with no in-sink disposal, what is your secret ?
