BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS:
seems nice but there is a very small bacteria that is benign to cats and is expelled in their urine. Marine animals... particularly fish and many corals are extremely vulnerable to it and are getting sick and dying off at alarming rates because of increased flushable litters and cat toilet training; the bacteria is reaching the ocean through waste treatment.
If you just can't clean the box everyday please buy an automatic box and hide it creatively.

Wow. my fridge was disgusting... But!, it's clean and practically empty. So nice. Vacuumed a lot underneath and tried to clean the coils as best I could. I hope it helps it run better. (It's decades old - but does the job. I rent)
It was hard to get to them for me as well; and I might do it again this wkend as they're still icky. Bleeeccckk!

I have this one really clean corner amongst the horror and it's great because now I'm really motivated to spread the airy, sunshine-y clean through out the whole room. Hey. I may be a usable kitchen soon! Yay!

Okay.
THIS weekend I cleaned out my sink, defrosted my fridge.. took apart the bottom (have to finish vacuuming coils and such), scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed.
Let's see: I removed the stuff around the windows (have to scrub window before I put up the pot rack), and organized all the cleaning products into bins under the sink. Whew!
Did a few other puttery-pokey things like organized pencils in my office cabinet, sanitized the cat box, and did all the recycling, BUT, my main thing is the one room Deep Treatment on the kitchen.
SO, those are accomplishments. Eventually, it might actually be safe to cook and eat in.

I'm with MirandaJ;
Screw the homeless. Especially in an Urban area. I mean, really! Find a good doorway to sleep in already! Or better yet. Go away!

On a different note: This is soooo great. And I love the humor! And the Tenderloin could use some green. :)
I'm forwarding this to my best bud in the City. He can point it out to some of his cooler fares. (Cab driver)

megagamma,
I too have found 'hiding' behind an internet identity eases the 'eeeek' factor of outing my true icky living. (wait til you see my pics... it's really gross)
no worries tho'. that's why we're here right? :)

27angels, megagamma:
of course you can still join!!
Read the previous posts. sign in. explore the OLD archived cures (click on the tags and go to ny for "main" posts and old cures--- they used to do it from the main page all together instead of separating by geographic location.)
Just explore and do your best... the main thing is to work on your space and find a place to post where you can get ENCOURAGEMENT. :)
Don't try to do too much. (speaking from experience here). Since it's week one you are right on schedule. (no 'catching up')
AND HAVE FUN!!!
:)
good luck

Horrible.

Logging in to each new site to leave my feedback.
Wow :(

I hate it.
Bring back the community feeling. Y'know, like having friends over and creating the community that 's the supposed dictum of the AT philosophy.
I had grown to feel like AT really was a community, as the original mission stated.
Now it feels like a shopping site. Or a narcissistic blog that's being posted for all to read but not really meant to join in on.
I guess y'all just out grew us. I enjoyed it while it lasted.
Posted plenty of other comments over on the other 'Sites,'so I'll just end by saying I feel like I'm posting on some giant corporate, faceless .com.

Left my very disappointed comments over at the very confusing main AT site (or was it new york?, and was it a completely different site?, and WHY?).
HATE THIS!
I am profoundly bummed.
And I find the separation the Kitchen section dumb and ironic. A main component of the Cure and AT's philosophy is to cook at home, to bring warmth and life to your apt by using your kitchen. (Which is why I'm assuming their was a Kitchen section on a 'design' site - am I wrong?)
As I've been doing the cure for the last year (deep treatment girl here) I've been looking forward to the day when I would switch my home page from ATNY to ATKitchen.
Whatever.
I promised I would keep coming back through the holiday's to give it a fair shot and so I will. But this just sucks. I really feel like I've lost something.
I'm sure readership will remain high, but I can't help feeling there will be a large turnover in who is here from long time AT participant's to new AT SHOPPERS.
