Free moving boxes are kind of like four-leaf clovers: they’re out there, but it takes a lot of looking and a little bit of luck to find them. There are plenty of places tobuymoving boxes, but anyone who has moved before knows that A) they don’t come cheap, and B) you’ll al...
food grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a safe and harsh-chemical free method. This is a natural, effective means of pest control (I’ve previously recommended it forfleasandant control). You can find it in garden centers (make sure to buy the food grade stuff). It...
The lava instantly chills, creating a unique bubbly, rounded texture called pillow basalt where within spaces between the rounded “pillows” grow delicate crystals of zeolites as steam chemically leaches the basalts and forms new minerals. Steam may rise through the molten lava as well, where the...
Fakes:I'd stop short of buying fake footwear – it's not much fun to get stranded barefoot because your cheap flip-flops died. Which they will, in 3 days or less. (Same goes for fake sunglasses – Extra-strength Thai sunshine vs your sweet little eyeballs? Buy a quality pair). ...

feel more like brillo pads than pillows, and since each sweater is hand-knitted, you can expect the fit to be a little wonkier than machine-made versions. But these sweaters are tremendously warm in the wintertime, and I love the story and craft that goes into each knit. Prepare to wear...
It wasn’t a cheap model, but it wasn’t rock-bottom cheap, either. The ice maker and dispenser stopped working entirely and repairing it all isn’t worth the trouble and the parts. Not having a monthly mortgage payment will free up a not inconsiderable sum of money; I plan to ...
