I’ve had a great experience with Evernote, to capture all my ideas in one place, accessible from the cloud on most almost all of my online devices. My new iPad 2 works well for typing and collecting ideas. The iPad version of Apple Pages exports right into the Mac version. Overall things are coming together. But when I went to sit down and actually write, I noticed I was missing a few things. The main thing I was missing was a comfortable chair. When my wife and I moved a little over a year ago, some of our old furniture would not fit into our new house. One of the casualties of the move was a cloth couch...

Those details are nowhere to be found in the WP article, which was published, presumably, to make a few other points.  One such point—the only one with which I agree—is that antidumping duties aren’t very effective at restoring or preserving U.S. jobs.  As the article demonstrates, since the imposition of AD duties on Chinese furniture beginning in 2005, imports from Vietnam, Indonesia, and other countries not subject to the AD restri...

There was a huge void in my life after my husband died.  Like I said before, Planet Widowhood is a lonely place and I was feeling overwhelmed.   I didn’t know how to start up the riding lawn mower, I needed things in my house fixed, and I was dealing with legal paperwork that I really didn’t understand.  Then my daughters reminded me of something that I taught them a long time ago.  They said I needed to start looking for new husbands to meet my daily n...

The best thing about this side table is that it’s also an inverted planter that gives a fern shady space to grow. And this particular table, designed by Ori Mishkal, introduces plant life into your home without taking up valuable tabletop real estate. We’d like to see these in our houses, pronto. We’d try the DIY approach, but we have a feeling it’d be (a lot) messier than this one. via Inhabitat Post from: BlissTree Eco-Friendly Home Design: Upside Down Planter Table (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3858122 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:50:08 +0100 3858122 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3831327&cid=t_120063_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fperfect-summer-cottage-on-the-couch-with-apartment-therapy%2F While we don’t have the vacation home of our dreams (yet), that doesn’t mean we don’t already imagine how we’ll decorate it.

With the massive popularity of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and all things vampire-related, it’s little wonder that coffin furniture is springing to life. Turns out, lying in a coffin isn’t just for Halloween anymore. (Does anyone actually do that?) Finally, now you can buy pine-box-like bookcases, and couches and beds on which to sleep – and we don’t mean that as a metaphor for death. Though Blisstree usually concentrates on healthy living as opposed to eternal resting places, let’s take a macabre peek inside.

Perhaps this is why I never recognized that type of wood when I was an adult — wood that was neither blandly pale like pine, or dark and shiny. I thought of this while looking at the oaken table upon which I did my homework every school-night from first grade up until I grew into a moody teenager and retreated to a room in the attic. Etched onto the surface of that oaken table is a cigarette burn, which appeared mysteriously after one or another of my parents’ parties. Its edges are worn smooth by my having gouged away at all of the brittle parts of the burn when I was supposed to be working on my algebra homework. Trying to etch a design in it also got my parents angry.

Six letters. So much potential for destruction. You say it to yourself and so do I, sometimes without even realizing it. Do you even realize how powerful it is? If only I had more time, I would exercise. If only my parents weren’t so annoying, I’d be less stressed. If only I had a bigger house, then I’d be more organized. If only, if only, if only…You know, it isn’t just the “if only” part that is so damaging. By itself, it just a harmless wish or fantasy. It’s saying “then”, as if you only have permission to have this better outcome when the first part happens. Let’s break this down once, shall we? Take the example about having a bigger house and being more organized. I threw this one in for me. We still live in...

The study found that the shower curtains contained high concentrations of phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive effects, and varying concentrations of organotins, which are compounds based on tin and hydrocarbons. One of the curtains tested released measurable quantities of as many as 108 volatile organic compounds into the air, some of which persisted for nearly a month. Seven of these chemicals, which include toluene, ethyl...

Click on “Read more” to find out (but take a guess first.) Yes, it is egg crate foam, the kind you can use as a mattress pad or to absorb sound. Or, for a little sensory enjoyment—there’s the foam and the “eggs” and the whole bouncy feel of things. No, we didn’t go out and buy an egg crate pad—-Charlie found it “inside.” Yes, there’s a story. There was a double futon that Jim and I bought before Charlie was born at a store in Kirkwood, Missouri. Like a good number of our possessions, the futon made the trip from that apartment to a rental house in University City (near the Delmar Loop in St. Louis). Then it was moved by Red Ball movers up to the second floor of a lovely duplex in St. Paul, Minn...

Hey wait a moment—-I think my entire condo is already and only furnished with “exercise furniture.” All beds are trampolines. (And any cushiony chair—-they also double as springboards.) Other chairs and tables and the kitchen counter are a homesite jungle gym. And we keep a gym mat handy and folded up, it makes a pretty nice low-sitting easy-to-clean couch, too. And the bathtub—did anyone say swimming?

One man wore a black cap; his drumming involved some acrobatic footwork (”$5 per photo” said a handwritten piece of cardboard). A large circle of people were watching as I glanced back. The train screeched in; the strong fast beats kept going. Would Charlie have stopped and stood, shoulders scrunched up and eyes squinting, to take in the sound and the sensations? I ask because Charlie was not with us, but home in New Jersey with my parents, and thinking about how Charlie thinks is a reflex for me. Jim’s putting on a sort of mini-confe...

Here's another finding to fuel your paranoia -- a fire retardant used in many couches called PBDE has been linked to lots of problems, including cancer and autism in children. While PBDEs aren't used in sofas any more, chances are you have an older sofa in your house -- I know I do. What's more, a different fire retardant chemical, called Tris, is replacing PBDEs in furniture, and it's been shown to be just as deadly. What can we do, aside from building our own furniture, to escape the onslaught of harmful toxins in our home? Or is it something we should even be concerned about in the first place?Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking&nbsp...

At least this one has NOT included nausea so far (yes, I am knocking on wood) although I went through a time period this morning when I really thought that was on its way (and I put my cell phone on the other side of the room... so now you know. I've heard of cell phones surviving trips through the washing machine, right Anonybro? I've heard of them surviving the toilet, although I can't remember who told me that story... And I've been the proud owner of a dinosaur phone which survived the ride around the field mowing the grass on the mower deck and survived the tale and lived another couple years beyond that! But my last wimp of a phone could not survive the headache of doom. So I'll keep the replacement far away.)So yesterday mor...
