Home & Garden - 24 August 2006

My 3 best:
A quilt rack shelf that I painted black. It is the centerpiece for my living room wall with all my french poster art.

A large Bissell Shampoo Vaccum. I gave it the lady who cleans my office who is starting her own cleaning company. She was thrilled.

2 very comfy lawn chairs!

I don't make it a habit of combing the curbs, nor am I a hobo :) FYI :)

I painted my apartment color, and had to paint back to white.So I did and when the paint dried it was cracked?

It is cracked on only one wall (kitchen) but on that wall the paint is severly cracked all over that wall. what boggles my mind is the fact that the same new white paint was used to paint over the same old paint underneath.

Why do squirrels pick something up, eat half of it, throw it away, and pick up another one to eat?

The squirrels take the nuts and pieces of fruit and other things that I leave out for them, they eat half of it or take a few bites, then they throw it away, pick up another item of the same type, eat half of that and throw it away, and this repeats. Why do they waste food?
