Sewing thread. Cheap sewing thread breaks, snarls up your sewing machine, sheds lint inside the tension disks, winds on the bobbin unevenly. Spend a little more for the better-quality thread brands, and when it's on sale stock up on gray, navy, black, and white. Saves many sewing hours over time gained avoiding…
Yeah, I was all: "Look, I could just GO AND READ PRIDE AND PREJUDICE so why did you just copy and paste?"
Almost all of my clothing is coming from OneStopPlus.com. It is the department store of larger sizes. You want to dress Boho? check. Work-serious? Check. Fifties-inspired? Check. You can't take everybody who wears the same size and expect them to all dress the same.
Recently in London we chose a hotel with no breakfast offered... because it had a tiny tiny kitchenette instead: microwave, fridge, coffee maker, miniscule sink. Eating leftovers from dinners out or snacks from the grocery store saved us a lot of meal expenses.
Anybody who bakes should have a KitchenAid mixer. I've had the same one since 1989 and the thing just keeps going and going. Best gift for someone who has one already is a spare bowl for the thing.
What are you talking about? Kathy Griffin does AIDS fundraisers, protested Don't Ask Don't Tell, and supports marriage equality.
Who has something for clothing moths? Every time we think we've cleaned them out there's another hatch, arg. I mostly protect the wool stuff with cedar, but I want the darn moths gone. They'll even lay eggs in corrugated cardboard, for pete's sake.
A few years ago Mr. StopMe and I made plans with another couple to go with a tour group to Egypt. We wanted to do the classic experience — Pyramids, Nile, Cairo, Luxor — and so we found this tour company doing a tour at the right time. They had good reviews, so we booked it.
I would have ridden THE HELL out of that train. Scott Walker has been nothing but bad for my state. Oh, did I say Scott Walker? I meant "the Koch-puppet."
"misbehavior" and "taking advantage", not to mention telling the women to just punch them in the nose... he's describing college men as, essentially, great big untrained dogs. If one of his dogs misbehaves, just get out a rolled up newspaper, I guess. If he tries to hump you or bite you, hey, you just need to be…
Look: yes, I agree, incredible story, stupid nasty criminals, etc. But... this story really needs some proofreading. Ouch.
I have always been very careful when closing the deal on a new job to get pre-approval for any already-scheduled vacations — particularly for anything long or for anything coming up in the next few months. I seldom take anything unusual anyway (and by "unusual" I mean "what my friends in Europe take all the time…
My husband likes to scritch the big leg muscle on dogs and a friend's rescued greyhound is just addicted to it!
Thank you very very much!!
Maybe somebody has a good answer to the problem of "not enough darn USB ports". I've tried one or two hubs but they won't always recharge my devices, and I hate trying to reach to the back and plug in/unplug things.
Wow, nobody ever noticed this before! Alert the media!
My mother was a fond shopper of the hardware store for my backpacks, saying they would "last better." The one that actually did was a horrifying blaze orange nylon with a drawstring at the top that ran through oversized brass grommets. It wouldn't die... but luckily even SHE got tired of looking at the thing and I got…
In that case:
You have killed me. I am ded.
