@ian.nai: But who wants to be a 150 year old mouse?

It's a lot easier to get excess calories from fast food, but the source of the excess really doesn't matter. I remember a pregnant coworker who craved fruits and vegetables. She literally brought in a shopping bag of produce for lunch, but seemed surprised that she gained 80 pounds with her pregnancy.

My white christmas lights are strung up around the trellis - its a pretty, not-too-bright deck light in the summer. And since my sunroom is too dark, there's another string of white taped to the back of the baker's rack filled with plants. It's for general room light, not really for the plants.

I can hear Euell Gibbons now; "many parts are edible". I think I'll recycle by sending him my tree . . .

I made a Google calendar just for things like this, like the monthly heartworm pill for the dog, the trash day (they keep changing the dates and I keep forgetting them), and when I last changed the air filter. It's there when I need to see it, but it's not cluttering my "real" calendar.

@txpunk: Seems to do pretty reasonably with merging contacts with multiple emails. Not that I have a bunch, but this sure helps my particular OCDness with having multiple listings for the same person.

@Unionhawk: I also saw a house that had a secret passage bookshelf similiar to this from the den into the master bathroom. That would be much better than creeping through the bedroom trying not to wake spouse.

@StartingAces: I think you've been patient enough. Give them a call, since it's that intrusive, and THEN abandon the address (because I bet nothing will happen, even if the phone numbers are actually their's).

My problem is the only mnemonic I can remember is one for the cranial nerves, but it's a dirty version (thanks to hubbie for teaching it to me!)

As unfond I am of Comcast, they have a nice little iPhone app that give access to your email (not necessary), your voice mail, and guides for On Demand and Cable TV. And you can mark favorite channels and only display those listings.

Great looking, although probably a bit more than just "basic carpentry skills" needed. One comment - one pic shows the cordless phone charger - since the cabinets will be covering the wall outlets that will undoubtedly be there, cut a hole in the back of the base cabinet, then another at the top, so the cords could…

AB (alton brown, kitchen gadget guru and speaker of the house for Iron Chef) did this long ago on his show, on the inside of the cabinets, for the same reason Andy III alludes to.
