  • "Something designed for longevity! Imagine that. I just, as in yesterday, finished cleaning and repairing a clock that, so far, is chiming and keeping accurate time. It's from 1882.  "

  • "Glass is heavy to transport and recycling facilities are uncommon. I live in the Tidewater area of Virginia. The nearest facility is in Charlotte, NC. Over 300 miles."

  • "We tow our with a simple short loop of rope and a carabiner. Cheap, and we leave it on the trash can handle so it doesn't have to be stored. Long lasting, too. 17 years, 300 yards and and unpaved driveway."

  • "Anyone who can afford this set has no need for it, and those who eat marrow already have a wood mallet in their utensils. These are for display by 'epicureans' while dining in front of an audience."

  • "I am on the board of a Friends of the Library group with 7 branches. We have monthly sales to rehome books that are removed from circulation and donated by the community. The books are priced from $.25 to $2, and the sales usually bring in over $2,000, moving hundreds of books. The proceeds go to the libraries to pay for literacy programs.  A sale will start with about 350 boxes of books and we'll still have about 150 boxes left. Like most FOLs, we have to get rid of the leftovers. Hundreds of these are donated to the community but there are still a lot of leftovers. We don't keep them because more donations are on the way! FOLs all over the country struggle with what to do with leftovers. We have given them to thrift stores to the point they are overwhelmed. Now our group pays a company to take them. I don't know what happens to them then but there are thousands of books waiting to be sorted by topic and then boxed to go to the next sale.                                            I own thousands of books that I love. I bought many of them from the FOL, sometimes just because they were old and I didn't want to think about a future where they might be shredded or incinerated. I like to hold books, smell them, rifled through the pages, think about where they were before I bought them. But being an old book doesn't make it a good story and a stack of printed paper, held together with glue and string, doesn't make a book precious. "

  • "Who only has 6 place settings?  I'd need 2 and that wouldn't save any space. Good idea, though.With my bad eyes, I color icons with a sharpie, and mark the arrows on medication bottles so I can line them up without finding my glasses."

  • "Nothing new- just more durable and easier to care for than a pizza stone. I bought a bigger one made by Pizzacraft over a year ago on Amazon for $45 and would do it again. It does have a finish of some sort on it so it hasn't rusted. When we order pizza, we get it unsliced and throw it right on the steel  for a few minutes for a crisp crust. I hate soggy or undercooked pie crusts- this fixes that, cookies bottoms are better browned. Haven't roasted vegetables though- use the grill for that."

  • "Love the design. I hate toilet brush holders but was fortunate to buy something similar to this. It's in the wall but pops open when needed. Unfortunately, it's not made any longer. If I ever sell this house, I'm taking it with me! Now someone needs to create something to block the blue light from the LED bulbs. "
