She did build a great closet on a tiny budget, which is great...but holy crap is this a lot of work! She may have gotten it done fairly quickly, but cutting/assembling all those drawers alone would take ages if someone was only working on this thing after work & on weekends (in between running errands, taking the

Not particularly - the X3 has the same chrome grille.

"Wacklemore"...I'm totally stealing that.

I dream about that every morning...reading a book, playing games on my phone, staring out the window...that'd be nice. Unfortunately, I live on the north side, work on the west side, and have to drop my kids off at school in between. My public transit options all involve multiple transfers.

Note that the coupon code for the Element 10,400mAh external charger only seems to work for the black version.

Yessir! So did you spend this morning going 9mph behind people who already forgot how to drive on snow, all while bobbing & weaving around foot-deep potholes?

I was more worried about the ticket price being jacked up so high that it became the exclusive playground of rich guys in six-figure supercars, corporate junkets, and automakers who want to use "performance tested on the famed Nürburgring" as a marketing tool (though the latter is already fairly common).

"We know it's an inconvenience. We're sensitive to that."

I like this idea a lot more than the overly-complex one linked from the article, though I'm sure it will seem "mean" or "harsh" to some. But come on - monitoring toy usage and making notes on habits and preferences? Ain't nobody got time for that. Plus, with your friend's idea, a bunch of unused toys are

Ah, a snarky response with no useful information. I'm afraid I've fed a troll.

I've watched shows on my TV via HDMI-connected laptop, but only when I've absolutely had to (specifically, when an 1080p episode was too big to go on a FAT32 USB stick...stupid non-HFS+-compatible Samsung TV), and I didn't enjoy the experience. I much prefer to watch shows kicked back on the couch with remote in

Thanks for sharing your experiences - I didn't know that about Regents.

I like this idea, specifically because faucet extenders tend to get pretty grungy after a while, and can be tough to clean...unlike the faucet extenders sold at babies/kids store, this one can be tossed in the trash & replaced whenever it starts looking nasty, with no concerns about wasting money.

Let's just go ahead and change your post to "I don't like cruises and am not particularly interested in articles about them, but I clicked the link anyway and posted a snarky comment because I just can't resist trolling..."

I think the worry is embers, but also the sheer heat of a house fire wafting up through the chute and causing whatever combustible material that lies at the top of the chute to catch fire.

I've thought about doing this, but am not convinced that a 3.5"-deep chute would be able to accommodate thick bath towels, bulky sweaters, etc. I live in a tall & skinny (4-levels with basically 2 rooms on each floor) townhouse, so a clog in the chute would require a lot more than a broomstick to work free.

In addition to the Brussels sprouts that JacksonAces brought up, fresh green beans are another quick, easy, and delicious one. They're cheap (a buck or two per pound), and prepping them is as easy as giving them a quick wash, snapping off the ends if you want, piling them intp one of those satellite-dish-looking

YES! Since discovering how awesome & easy properly-cooked Brussels sprouts are, they've become a regular part of our dinner rotation.

But what if Texas doesn't float your boat? What if proximity to family/friends/job/specific locale prevent you from moving? What if your dream is to live in downtown Tokyo, or in an off-the-grid cabin in Alaska?
