    Yes, I think as you go through there is a small box that prompts you to add more detail for more accurate results, but I didn't do that either--I was just ball parking to get some idea of how many...

    You live in a small home like I do--I was shocked that 700 sq. ft. is considered a "medium" sized home on the calculator... they must be using global averages--not US ones!

    Nestle, Pepsi and Coca-Cola have probably been responsible for the almost total disappearance of the once-ubiquitous water fountains.

    I am finding that selling and renting is a strategy that some of my financially well-off senior friends are employing. My SIL (who is recently widowed) had moved with my brother from a beautiful home...

    Aren't you referring to "dusty rose"--not "pink"? My bathroom fixtures (toilet, sink, tub) were that color.

    When we moved into our NJ house in 1985 it was already very out-of-date with shag carpeting, ugly wallpaper murals, metallic wallpaper, and brown paneled family room walls. Because we didn't have...

    Needless to say, that's terrible. No one is truly "green" unless you live with a hunter-gatherer tribe in the woods. So anyone calling out people on a "greenness" yardstick better look at themselves...

    There are a lot of ugly bedroom sets, which is why I don't like "sets" of anything. If you break them up, they may have some potential, based on individual merit and a lot of chalk paint.

    That is a beautiful house! I am finding myself partial to orange as accents these days--not so much lime green.

    My DD and DSIL--my artist and style couple== are totally into midcentury modern. My...

    ... but not Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger apparently. They razed a rare mid-century modern home in LA to replace it with a modern "farmhouse" mansion. I lot of people weren't happy about...

    I buy them when we have visitors. The last case I bought was for my kids from NJ when they came up for the eclipse, and it remains untouched. So, at least I have it for whatever bottled water...

    Interesting story, jp! I've heard similar stories about dog cremations, but of course, it's a much more egregious practice with humans!

    That happened to us. But it was only one squatter (in my MIL's house that we were getting our renters to vacate so we could sell), and she was a substance abuser. Her social worker told us not to let...

    I know.. I agree! There are great options for water if you really feel your city water doesn't cut it. You can get a Brita pitcher. Or you can have a water filter attached to your sink. I think that...
