What a rotten day. Hope all days forward are better. The magic thing to take out EVERY stain I have ever had...even when it had been washed ... is...

I've been to permies.com once or twice, but didn't realize they had a discussion forum, and just today I was thinking about how I wish there was one...

I belong to permies.com, one of their forum guidelines is to stay nice. It's a requirement. They also have a small army of moderators who enforce...

All upper cabinets will have glass fronts. But likely, just faux mullions. Getting real, honest to god mullions costs about a million dollars...

You might do a "small kitchen" search on apartment therapy website for more ideas.

Today's Atlantic has a good description of how viruses mutate:...

If I were going to install upper cabinets, I would choose some with glass fronts (and lots of colorful dishes to go in them). But I vastly prefer a...

Well, I can’t say that I liked the stove wall with all the implements lined up on it. That looks messy to me. So I am not replicating that one.

That is my preference as well as the tags are annoying, especially the sharp-edged fabric ones.

I just drink coffee and water...a milk for the calcium.

Trump checked out of COVID oversight nearly from the beginning; he isn't even pretending to care these days.

Some of the ones down near the hem can be annoying too. I love LL Bean, but some of their tags are as long as CVS receipts! I love it when the...

From what I can tell (small pictures, suck for older eyes) the one you like, has a utensil hanger behind the stove (much like my grandmother used to,...

I thought the border was closed, but I saw on the news Canadians are making their way to Florida to get vaccinated ahead of US citizens. Here is a...

Why do some clothing manufacturers have to put tags in the back of the neck instead of on the side seam near the bottom? One was really annoying...

Thanks for letting me whine, everyone, and I appreciate the empathy. Today is a new day, and I'm hoping for better things! :)

I prefer the open, less cluttered look in the first pictures, but to be fair, part of my preference is because I like the colors and materials...

What an awful day. Always remember a coworker who had a stressful job for his personality. He got out his Pepto Bismol and shook it. Well the...

It’s not that we don’t trust cnn. You, on the other hand...

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...
