Awesome!

I've fallen in love with tiny houses. They are truly green living spaces that take almost no money to heat, light or upkeep. Walls double as bookcases and kitchen tables extend to become dining tables when you need them. No room is wasted in these cozy houses, that are wooden inside and out (and weatherproof)! They range anywhere from 60/70 sq. ( Read more... )

Did you know that organic milk lasts a month after being opened, when regular milk only lasts a week? In fact, if unopened, organic milk can last for 6 months on the shelf, without refrigeration! Fascinating!

I recently saw James Taylor on the Colbert Report. He is just such a nice man. So kind and mellow. If I was stuck on a deserted island and had to chose one celebrity to be stuck with, it would be James Taylor.

What a day! What a great set of 4 days!! I did not think I would live to see the day when my American contemporaries would get excited about political change, about making the world a better place. I've often lamented that I was born in the wrong decade (wishing to be part of the 60's movements), and resented the prevailing notion that being ( Read more... )

It's the first time I'm seeing a well-balanced story about Russia, where neither Russian nor American interests in Georgia are portrayed in a biased way. No one is the "hero" here, which is probably the closest thing to the truth.

I have recently fallen in love with elephant jokes. Apparently, these jokes were popular in the 60's. A good elephant joke has a very "random" humor - something that you would not expect, and should not depend on the size of the elephant to be funny (that would just be a little kids joke). Here are my favorites ( Read more... )
