I already chimed in with an assertion that electric blankets are great. But I also feel the need to champion the wonders of a hot water bottle!

I'm a satisfied electric blanket user. We put it between our sheet and duvet. Like @jvanderh suggested, one with individual controls for either side is especially great. I like to turn my side on a few minutes before crawling into bed.

I stick with Facebook to stay on top of what's going on with friends and events in the community but I really wish the damn thing would die like MySpace.

Waxed cord or waxed twine is thicker and more robust.

I initially read this headline as "Even Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell are engaged."

Another supporter of this tried and true method! Also good for any liquids/spilly things.

Pardon me but who is the old lady holding the tiny piano? For a split second, I thought Divine rose from the ashes. The hair - yikes.

I tried to find his Facebook account but sadly, cannot. I enjoy some of the same activities.
