Wow. I think we are neighbors...sort of. I live in the neighborhood right behind those condos.

That Texas String art has been on my to do list for a long time. Also your dog is so cute!!!

I found a ninja action figure, about 2 inches in height. It cleaned it and it's now sitting on my bookshelf beside Snoopy wearing a kimono.

I found Snoopy on the steps of the common building in undergrad with a note that asked someone to please take care of him.

@carolynapplebee your comment is HIGHLY inappropriate. You should note that as well. Your IP address should be banned from AT.

Having been born in raised in NC I was happy to see the pictorial of Hickory Chair but my first thought was the same as @rahimah's.
That said, I am happy to see the diversity in age and that AT is highlighting quality American-made products from my home state.

I have more news for you: people are paid to write reviews on third-party websites. I know this b/c I was paid to do it as a side job in another lifetime shortly after I graduated from undergrad. It blew my mind some 5 years or so when I was explained the job.

It went something like this: I was given a product (sometimes but not always and less often than you would think) and I was told to write multiple "authentic-sounding" reviews in different povs and as many of them as I could on the most obscure to the most popular websites. The goal was to increase positive reviews and to push a product's search engine ranking up by using keywords. As a result, the only reviews I truly trust are of products with hundreds and larger amounts of reviews, or where I can view a reviewer's history of different products. Now I will say this problem is less prevalent than it was some 5 years ago but it still happens.

I have since repented for the sins I committed in that job. Now I'm a dirty, dirty ambulance chaser.

Tell your neighbors to call me if they need an attorney, which, if you attempt to purchase or create and use one of these, I can assure you they will.

Been in love with that Marimekko shower curtain for a long time. Was all set to buy it until I realized it was polyester. I even thought about buying the fabric but it's too short in width!

I haven't found anything that aesthetically appeals to me more so for now all I have is a cloth shower liner until I figure out something.

@rr90027 I read the news (paper) every day... from my computer. The idea of sitting to read printed on paper news is more nostalgic than anything. Save a tree and read online. I used to work in the editorial/news industry--at a newspaper for some time but mostly for magazines. I cannot wait until the day when newspapers are strictly online content and just news.

I don't understand the sponge thing. They are gross and end up in landfills.

@magzeen Organization of that magnitude is indeed possible. I know so. I live that way. And no, I don't have any type of compulsive disorder. It just makes life easier ;-).

My floor, however, is often filled with torn leaves and dirt brought in by my dog. I just sweep it at night.

@Ivlichelle agreed. Plus, I'm gonna go extra PETA and say little fish bowls are just cruel. (Finding Nemo, anyone?) It's like solitary confinement with no privileges.

If #1 were inexpensive I'd buy it and put a photo of a fish in it, lol. It's just so gosh darn cute.
