Mango peel and sap contains urushiol and are in the same family as poison ivy (Anacardiaceae). If you pay attention, you will find that some people get canker-sores or cold-sores soon after eating mango, especially if eaten from the skin. Get Smart: Recognizing Poisonous Plants |

AMANDITACARINA, Thanks much for the honest answer! It looks great, but I'll be for an elderly aunt to sleep on during a month long visit, so she might not like it. Amanda's Nostalgic & Worldly Small Cool Contest |

I've been considering that futon but it's only available by online ordering where I live--how do you like it? Amanda's Nostalgic & Worldly Small Cool Contest |

It's not just the chemicals that were intentionally applied to the wood to preserve it, but stuff that came from the trains. Even if the trestles weren't treated, you have to imagine that some grease and other stuff comes off the trains over the years. Is Reclaimed Wood Safe? Good Questions |

I say "no questions asked" because all too often on Craigslist I see ads for roosters saying something like, "he's nice, so not for butchering." If you don't want to know that your nice rooster will be dinner, don't ask why somebody wants your rooster you don't want. Real Life Backyard Chicken Advice from Experienced Chicken Owners |

MILLISLIM, what you should do is offer the rooster/cockerel for free or cheap (less than what a fryer at Walmart would cost) and no questions asked. You are helping low income families eat when you give them cockerels and old hens. Real Life Backyard Chicken Advice from Experienced Chicken Owners |

JESS13--how is it much worse than any other bookshelf? I think it would keep more books in place when you remove a book than other bookshelves. I know that when I remove one of my heavy cookbooks I have to slide all the other books to fill the void or another heavy one will fall pushing everything else like domino.

I've had chickens off and on since I was 6 years old. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my birds and they all end up with names. However, they're chickens, not dogs, not cats, chickens. Real Life Backyard Chicken Advice from Experienced Chicken Owners |

RMF325, I thought the same thing. However, if you look at the date stamp on earlier posts, they are from January. Hmm, and now the most recent ones are March. Something fishy is going on. Before & After: Gorgeous Garage Mini House in Seattle shoebox dwelling |

I don't mind the lack of couch for TV watching. Some people don't watch enough TV to sacrifice valuable space for a couch. Samantha's Art Project Small Cool Contest |

I think it's beautiful, but I also don't think it will last. I'm tempted to try and build a mock dresser with cedar. Then put it next to a flower bed with a headboard! Ok, that might be too much. Before & After: Old Dresser Becomes a Garden of Succulents Grizzly Bear Modern |

My registry advice is only register for stuff you actually want. People will buy the stuff on the registry--it's no fun to end up with some things you don't use or want but registered for because it was "fun" to run around Target/Macy's/etc scanning all kinds of stuff.

I'm looking for a futon/daybed for the exact same reason! My husband is from Eastern Europe and we have visitors frequently. Also, my American family visits often enough--and I wouldn't dream of sending them to non-existent-local hotels/B&Bs (I live in rural Montana). Low Cost Guest Room Daybed or Futon? Good Questions |
