In answer to someone’s suggestion, I have my apartment on lease. so i cannot make any modifications to the wall color. The pink remains pink but it is not a very intrusive color. Its quite mild especially when i have dim lights on.

what is a good fabric to use for cooking aprons?
6I have lots of left over cotton fabrics but they seem to thin. I am thinking it should be pretty sturdy. maybe even good enough to grab a cookie sheet out of the oven with your hands in the pockets ( hope that makes sense)
I have cookware made in China when over heated black stuff is in the bottom of pan. Is it safe to use?
2My stainless steel cookware made in China has black stuff in the bottom of it when over heated. Is it really stainless steel, and is it safe to use for cooking?
Protecting Your Wood Dining Tables Protects Your Investment
0Your dining tables bring style and warmth to your home and they are an investment. To protect your investment and your wood tables you can use a very simple technique that is not costly and is fairly easy to do. This will keep your wood from damage over the years.
There are a few basic supplies you will need for the procedure that are easy to find. You will need a large cardboard box, one cloth tablecloth and one vinyl tablecloth, some packaging tape, a tape measure, a box cutter knife and a pencil.
Growing up my mother always used a padded table cover to protect her very expensive wood table from harm. That was admittedly a lot of years ago now but these pads are still available and can still be a very good idea. They can be ordered through the Internet or from mail order companies and are custom made for your table. This is one very good solution for protecting your table but it is a little costly.
There is a way to protect your table that is much more cost effective if you are able to put just a little time and effort into the project. The first things you will need to do for this procedure is take measurements of all the dimensions of your table top. Primarily you will need to write down the measurements for the width and also the length of the table top.
The cardboard box that you have should come from a very large object like a washing machine or refrigerator box. It needs to be dry and clean before you begin using it. Take your measuring tape and the pencil and mark the dimensions of the tabletop that you just wrote down. Use a straightedge and draw the outline of your table top. These are the lines you will cut so be sure you can see them well. You might want to do the cutting on the porch or patio so you don’t have to worry about cutting something under the cardboard. With the box cutter knife cut out along the lines you have drawn.
Laying this cut out piece of cardboard on the top of your dining table will serve as a pad to protect the wood from any possible nicks or dents and will serve as some insulation against any hot pan or pots that may be set on the table.
Now you can use the vinyl tablecloth to cover your cardboard table pad and then tape the edges of the vinyl tablecloth to the bottom side of the table to keep it from moving. This will be the protection you need if something is spilled on the table. There will always be little accidents that mean wet marks on your delicate wood table plus those annoying water rings from drinks.
Now that you have successfully protected the top of your dining table you can cover it with a stylish tablecloth. This should be sufficient to conceal the homemade table pad and the vinyl cloth. This is the simplest and most inexpensive method of protecting your dining tables.

Comments about the documentary “Like Rembrandt Draperies: A Portrait of Cathy Tingle”
0Audience members share feelings and impressions of this medical educational teaching/tool. This moving documentary tells the story of Cathy Tingle, a women who lived with serious cancer (endometrial cancer and adenocarcinoma) for 10 years. The film provides an intimate portrait of her encounters with the health care system, her unique approach to life and death, her relationship with her oncologist, and her community. Through interviews with Cathy at the end of her life, and interviews with her oncologist, friends and family, we learn about Cathys choices to live a simple, rural lifestyle emphasizing family and community; the use of both biomedical and complementary therapies in caring for her health; her special relationship with her oncologist; and her feelings about dying. We also see the unique way in which the community participates in her death and burial. Much of the film focuses on what Cathy needed from health care providers during her odyssey with cancer and how her oncologist cultivated a partnership and friendship with Cathy as part of her care. Because Cathy outlived her prognosis by almost 10 years, her experience of “end of life” care was extensive. This is meant to be an evocative film raising issues about living with cancer, relationships between patients and providers, alternative therapies and lifestyles, the meaning of dying and rituals around death. The content of this videotape is appropriate for classes addressing health and illness, health . . .
