Brilliant! This is the solution to sleeping in the same bed with my radiator of a sleeping partner.

I'm pretty low-maintenance about it. I have a little file folder that came premarked with the months. I just stick the receipt in the month's section. When I cycle around and get back to a month a year later, I flip through to make sure there's nothing I need to keep and then I toss the stack.

Organized in the rare instance I need to go back to refer to something, but extremely low time requirement.

I have the BioBrite clock, which basically does this same function, except it also has the beep. My first apartment out of college's bedroom was painted dark red (not my decision) and had only one window that faced north and was shaded by a tree. Getting up before the sun rose in that room was incredibly soul-rending. The alarm clock was an incredible help at making me not hate the world.

But I have one with a beep function too. There is no way twittering birds would wake me even with the light. I sleep like a brick.

I'm a little puzzled by this one. I wouldn't really call it a "soup" although it was tasty. Also, I found the cider vinegar flavor jarring and overpowering. I'm not sure I understand how it fits with the other ingredients. I would also recommend more like 3 pieces of bacon, since you can barely taste 1.

Three recipe clarifications: Is this fresh ginger or powdered? Also, I think you forgot to mention when to put the bacon back in. All the boiling and simmering should probably happen with the lid on.

What is the benefit to towel loops? Saving space? I get that you can then use pegs instead of towel bars, but does that provide better drying? I used to hang my towels from a hook and found that parts of it took about a day to dry-- bars seem to do a better job.

Try out the free version, but don't give this company any money. For two reasons:

1) they won't send you the code, then will ignore four emails until you threaten to dispute the charge, then they will promise you a quick refund, and then ignore you some more. In other words, this appears to be a SCAM.

2) there is a free Firefox extension that does exactly the same thing, but faster. and FREE. Oh yeah, and it's free. It runs on Greasemonkey.

How did you get the table to be white? I have the same one and it's metal and terrible wood veneer that's clearly not weather-proof. I'd love to be able to use my table outside.

YOWZA. I have the same table and two chairs! I had them out on my covered porch for the last two years and the fake wood paper is bubbling from what little snow settled on them. I now want to put them out in my (uncovered) backyard-- how did you do the weatherproofing/painting them white?

A second chair for symmetry, if there's space, would do wonders.

Score. This post is just what I'm looking for. Moving to SF and it'll be my first time in that sort of climate, and I have no idea what works.
