Woman, you are a GODDAMN DYNAMO!
I'm loving those updates, still about 14 months before I finally get out of here and into my home in Ohio. Not much work left to do on it except to enjoy actually being there. Sigh...
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

You know what they call those double door, double size fridges, around here?
- American fridge! 
Yeah, when I lived in Italy my apartment had a teeny little fridge, basically a double-height under-counter fridge.
I did think about getting one of those, but this one was on sale and I can't say no to a sale.

That's what everyone has been saying but there's only one place in the kitchen where that would be a problem (the one door/drawer to the left of the stove); all the other pulls are in places where you'd be standing facing the pull (at a bank of drawers or at the sink), not walking along the counter and thus susceptible to getting a belt loop hooked.
Quote:Nonetheless, you made a proper kitchen out of that small corner! Congratz! 
Thanks, it's a 100% improvement over the dark hovel it was before!
I was going to make a "before and after" book of photos just to have to show people when they come over because the changes have been that dramatic - especially in the kitchen

I need to get some good 2.1 or 5.1 speakers for my TV - I just have the built-in speaker right now and it SUCKS!!
I REALLY want the Bose CineMate speakers (my parents have them and they're great) but I'll probably end up with the cheapest set I find at Costco.

Do a google search on "external speaker reviews 2014"....I think you'll find some you both like and can afford!!
