After using this and the old tennis ball trick (fluffs up pillows, blankets, etc.), I combined the two and covered the tennis ball with foil. It doesn't take as much foil and keeps things from bunching together in the dryer.

My guy can't sleep in a bed. He can only sleep on a sofa. Because of this, we've never actually slept together. But it's fine because I've never been able to really share a bed with anyone.

The whole separate-beds-separate-bedrooms idea has saved a lot of relationships from what I've heard from others. Historically, spouses often had separate bedrooms except for the poor. Sleeping in the same bed, or even bedroom, was not considered acceptable for anyone other than the lower classes.

I worked at Restoration Hardware over the holidays a couple of years ago and that is a style that was to be discontinued in 2008. It was being phased out when I was there. I don't remember the product style name. I have seen a similar style at Lowe's recently, but the ones RH carries are of better quality.

For lotions in a pump bottle, cut off the top portion of the bottle. Place the bottom in a pan of boiling water until the lotion becomes runny. Pour into a small jar and use a spatula to get the last bit out.

For the remaining lotion bottle, invert the top into the bottom portion and use as a small planter for herbs or african violets. Place gravel in the bottom to steady and act as a reservoir; put a large rock in the bottle neck to act as a stopper but allows water to pass around the edges; then fill with potting material and plants.
