Bitch In
Submitted by junglemonkey on April 16, 2010 - 8:36amI grew up in that modern miracle, the all-electric house. Electric furnaces could efficiently pump warm air throughout the house without the worries of gas fumes. Ovens and stoves heated evenly and looked sleek and modern. And, in the modern all-electric house, there was a plug in every room!
A Chickenless Life
Submitted by junglemonkey on April 21, 2010 - 9:47amWe gave up our chickens a couple of months ago because we have huge landscaping plans that involve taking down the old chicken coop. I thought it would be a relief. The chicken chores do take up a certain amount of time every day, every weekend and I thought that it would be a burden lifted from us.
It turned out that, while it did save us a few precious minutes every day, and a couple of hours on the weekends, there's a lot more to our adjustment.
Cataloguing My Lust
Submitted by junglemonkey on April 29, 2010 - 11:35amIt's been previously documented (here, for instance: http://junglemonkee.livejournal.com/251077.html) that I LOVE catalogues, but more for what's behind the stuff they're showcasing than for the stuff itself.
