Wow. That is pretty gross! If I every need to trap a mouse, maybe I'll try an iris in a bottle.

Very bittersweet Mother's Day for you, happystuff. Indulge in those happy memories today. I hope they can lift your spirits!

Well, here's what I consider a really good op-ed by Ross Douthat of the NYT. It offers no "solutions," no judgements--just a clear acknowledgement that life is messy, and most moral judgements come...

Wow! Beautiful photos, bae! I went outside to look but it was too cloudy.

You know, I am not the least bit interested in it. It's kind of the same old stuff regarding his past behavior and his sordid character. I am not convinced it will make a difference in the outcome of...

I love built-ins. My uncle was a builder/contractor and had built his family house in the 50s. It was definitely a great example of mid-century modern. I remember it so clearly..definitely had a...

I agree...

Mostly it's just positioning. But I think #4 goes too far: "clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism." I think there is too much ambiguity there to say that...

Speaking of design trends that may be over, I was reading a couple of articles that said that vintage furniture is on trend because it speaks to sustainability. I think that's kind of funny. I know...

We do the same.

Thank you for posting this. It's an important article... the most important point it makes is that the campaign to save honeybees was driven by the people who profit from them. Meantime, all kinds of...

I love pocket doors! They are so practical and space saving! Who wouldn't love them?

This is not a "hike"--it is a short walk to our lakefront, but because the theme here is beautiful vistas I thought I would share. My DDIL took this the day before the eclipse, when DH took our two...

Beautiful, jp!

So nice to have a garden-loving neighbor! I always hope I'm one.

As I've said before about Dave, I, too, have LOVED his no-nonsense approach. I don't know why, but the whole Suzy Orman "girlfriend" approach turned me off, but I love Dave cutting out the ambiguity...

So, right now, DH is taking his morning nap (he gets up at about 4am every day, and then eats breakfast around 8 and takes a nap.). He naps on the living room couch. So I quietly move around when I...

Sounds interesting!

That's great! Your examples remind me that all of our kids got "beater" cars when they got their drivers licenses. And they had such quirks, even though they actually got the kids from Point A to...

Yes, he was a true original. He inspired one of my favorite philosopher comedians, Bill Hicks. He did die too young.

Welcome, Quade!

You can watch whole episodes on YouTube.

Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7QxdubrLI&list=PLoieWSdjTgUL0owghq6DWTiQf2nUcghJ2

But if you're going to watch one you have to watch this...

I was watching Bar Rescue just today! It was about an old artsy female musician who had no business sense whatsoever. I do like those shows. Have you ever watched either Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen...

Wow! Interesting findings. I've been reading Slow Productivity by Cal Newport which talks about the importance of time off. Also, last week I saw a CBS Sunday Morning segment on "laziness" (It...

That sounds like such a cool event, jp!! And such a rewarding volunteer activity! I hope you have a great time with your human and non-human friends! Report back!

Sometimes if you go to church thrift stores they have free bins. At least that's what my Uber-frugal DDIL tells me. All of her clothes are thrifted, and she always looks stylish. She's really an...
