i agree with mauishopgirl. i like to have a computer and a non-computer desk. mine are actually even in two different rooms.

i always keep my pitas in the fridge and have never seen a speck of mold on them. i pop them in the oven for just a couple minutes to warm them up before i use them

my cat loves tv. she can usually be found completely blocking my ability to use the remote. my sister's cat on the other hand doesn't even seem to be able to see the tv or at least she really, really doesn't care about it.

i don't allow my cat on counters or tables but she's free to enjoy on couches, beds, and chairs. i don't allow myself to sit on counters or tables either.

i like the idea but i am concerned about how quickly they'd go bad and if being all mushed up in the tube i'd be able to tell if they were bad enough before i put them in my food

my microwave/stove/oven unit was original to the house when it was built in the 70s. the clock and the self cleaning feature on the oven don't work anymore but it still cooks food just fine.

considering that i paid for it at the old price and love it, yes $100 is enough to justify the purchase

I've got two copies of that Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook. One that I bought new when I moved out on my own and one that I later inherited from my grandparents. Some of the recipes are the same but some are different.

i'm not a snickerdoodle fan but for any other recipe just mixing up twice as much of everything has always worked for me
