Rosa, so sorry you had such a bad day.

Online NYT and online local paper.

I think I might own this for ten years. It is possible. I will say that the unit with the few cabinets had no trouble selling. It was beautifully...

Wow, pomegranate juice stains like anything. Rip sweater. cant say I have ever cut a q tip in half. Guess maybe I wont after reading your...

Rosa, that is a very substantial rant to share. Enjoy your wine!

Thinking very logically and without emotion, will you be selling this unit in the next few years? If yes, people will want more cupboards and the...

I wrote the other day about the escape mutant. Its name is E484K. Here is another reference to it since I know some people do not trust CNN: ...

Well I went for groceries after only a week because I needed ingredients to try recipes in a book I got from the library 5-Ingredient Keto. So I am...

They do say QTIP stands for quit taking it personally. Sorry you had a bad day.

Oh man, Rosa! It came in threes today for ya! Sorry, I snickered at the Q-Tip thing and thought, well, if you'd gone to the doctor you might could...

Thinking of you rr - and hoping your day has improved. My SIL once cut herself with scissors. Twice. On the same day. I thought she should have...

Oh Rosa what a perfectly awful day, and I'm sorry that I laughed at your story about 1/2 a Q Tip- because most of my dumb things are caused by doing...

Wow, rosa, that really does suck, but I have to say, the way you write it, I know you'll find humor in it some day.. I love how you're figuring out...

That's a very generous policy!

I hardly ever contribute to this thread because I am an irrepressible optimist, but today just flat-out sucked! For starters, I cut a big deep...

Down in SC at Bi-Lo, if that happened, they would actually give you the whole nine dollars and the peanut butter. I got a free pack of lemon cookies...

OK, this is a tiny little frugal compared to IL's big score (Congratulations!), but I looked at our grocery receipt yesterday, and the cashier...

That is wonderful!

The UK strain has just been detected in IL for the first time. Someone in the Chicago area who traveled to the UK.

I believe in St Anthony. He seems to always help me find what I have lost. Even if it is just my patience with the public.

Great news!!

Catherine, I ordered a case of their holiday beer with 4 different kinds. Their red was excellent and I am on the last of the 4 choices. They are all...

I definitely like number two. You don’t need a bunch of cabinets. I would definitely go with what you want. You will be the person primarily using it.

Obviously, this is not a place you would possible live if your DH is no longer in the picture? Personally, I like cabinets. I don't like to always...

This is a clean looking wall. Perhaps the “white” aspect helps. My cabinetry is light blue. I was really on the fence about a cabinet over the...

I had a bottle of gingerade kombucha yesterday. A treat!

It's your place; suit yourself. Emulate the unit that delights you.

Given that it's a pied a Terre and not a primary residence, I don't know why you would need a lot of cabinets. It's just a place to land when you're...

I think many of us have way more cabinets than we need. Opposite our small u-shaped kitchen is an 8 ft wall. Fridge on one end, pantry on the other,...

LOVE IT!

Aww, good new on the cat front.

TeacherTerry and bae: I'm hooked on the Athletic Brewing Company non-alcoholic beer you guys recommended. It really tastes like beer! So far I've...

So now DH and I are in the thorniest part of condo renovation, designing kitchen cabinets. I knew we would clash on this big time. We are. This...

It is primer, not top coat paint.

And two weeks later the girls are getting more and more comfortable living in my office. Now they pretty much ignore me when I come and go, and both...

It would be easy to have simple bodum with a small kettle. That way you can make tea or coffee in it but not at the same time, of course. ;)

That is a really good frugal find, IL.

That’s great that it was a color you wanted. Lots of ugly paint in the world.

Actually, the word, with more varied connotations, originates from pre-Christian Rome.

I will see. My idea of using electric kettle is to keep DH out of the tiny kitchen, away from the main microwave oven. There is room for 1 person...

"Mask of shame." Words fail me.

Certainly, but that doesn't negate the fact that we need "outliers" to progress. I think of the Australian doctor, Barry Marshall, who discovered...

DH does the same for water for our house plants. About the $210 worth of paint —it’s wonderful because that paint is not sitting around our...

Well said.

And other times they are just ignorant outliers: https://apnews.com/article/salem-coronavirus-pandemic-oregon-95c7cea3eb90b1716a12baba065f98dc

Seems the title, itself, only comes via the Catholic Church, but fortunately for humankind, there are greater and more saint-like individuals than...

DW fills a jug with tap water and lets it sit for a couple of days before she waters our plants with it. She sayd it lets the chlorine in the water...

And sometimes, as in the case of Ignaz Semmelweis or Frances Oldham Kelsey, those outliers are vindicated.

I believe there are real, historical people who have been proclaimed saints by the Catholic church. In my genealogical ramblings, I discovered a...

Wow!

No

DH was giddy this week because he took 7 gallons of primer paint from the alley where our neighbor left it. This neighbor was cleaning out his house...

Pharmacists have a high level of microbiology training. It is weird when one of them escapes that mindset. But then, there are plenty of M.D....

When you ask the question, to which are you referring or what is your definition. In a sentence, my parents were saints for putting up with me as a...

That's not what I've been taught, but I did look that up and it seems that there are quotes in the Bible that refer to all people in the early...

LOL I don't believe in saints.

There is rust and city added fluoride, which can worsen the skin rash I have from wearing a mask, in my water. I switched to a nonfluoride toothpaste.

I hate the taste of my tap water. What I do is put it in a glass jug in the fridge and let it get really cold. That totally improves the taste. I...

Dinner with the grandkids last night -- spaghetti with red sauce (Creamette spaghetti for them, edamame pasta for us) and sliced cucumbers and...
