Why, oh why must I fall in love with a $14,000 sofa?!

Ditto the pound cake; in fact, I've shipped my chocolate pound cake (which calls for buttermilk) with no problems.

I froze it, then shipped overnight and receiver said cake was still frozen!

Next time I'm not sure I would bother with either, since a good pound cake (well wrapped) keeps several days on the counter with no problems.

Our special family "Christmas Dessert" is Death by Chocolate.

It's a trifle made of Kahlua-soaked brownies, chocolate mousse, crushed heath bar, and Cool Whip.

You could substitute the kahlua for chambord and the heath bar for fresh raspberries, or use peppermint in place of the heath bar if that floats your boat.

How about a man who knows the difference between your/you're?

Anyone? ANYONE?

Ditto Trish. OHIO is my mantra for paper. "Only handle it once." That means, I don't open the mail and then put it in to-do piles. Wedding invitation? I RSVP as soon as I open it, etc.

Ditto cicero.

We are vegan and near-vegetarian in my house, and we find that home made whole foods taste better, are more nutritious, and visiting meat-eaters are more open-minded toward trying them.

That said, the occasional box of "chicken" nuggets for the kiddos or chili "dogs" for us are within the realm of a balanced diet. We consider them treats.

Oops sorry for the double post.

I say, sell the desk and paint the armoire in one of the shades of teal or aqua that you mentioned. Maybe replace the wooden knobs for some amazing pulls.

Throw something ugly and electronic (say a tv?) or in that sucker or store your clutter there.

What about toxioplasmosis? (sp?)

I thought pet poo shouldn't be used on any edible garden (even composted pet poo) because the eggs of the above (bacteria?) can survive composting... I'd be nervous to try given the problems that can develop in humans as a result of that nastiness.

Goodbye spare dining room table (and chairs!)
