Pottery Barn Kids Discussions And How To's
| | Why do sheets never fit the bed right? | | We just bought a queen size bed and a whole new bedding set, the sheet won't stay on for anything! Why don't they make sheets that will actually fit and you know the compaines know the sheets don't fit the bed becasue another product on the market is a device you can put on your bed to keep the sheets on why don't they make the sheets to fit in the fist place and not worry about it? | |
| | how many Mylots have art hanging on there walls? | | Now I guess I will get called a snob again like I did after the do you have a home alarm system but I'm going to ask. John's mom is an artist and I love her stuff but for years before I knew John I never hung pictures on my walls that you would by say at walmart. I would go to flea market or garage sales and look for something some painted or made with anything. I love art I love the idea that someone's hands made this. I could even be a vase an ashtray or something I could not identify believe me I have a few of those. I don't like mass produced things. For instance I had a mass produced coffee table and end tables. John's mom messed them up by denting them with a hammer, sand paper, a then crackle them and antiqued them now I LOVE them . They look a 100 years old. Her paintings are everywhere in our home and anyone who visits goes crazy over them which makes me very proud. she is very folky and so non main steam. I'm wondering about other Mylotters. Please don't feel because I'm not a standard person that you expressing your love of Ethan Allen or Pottery Barn is not OK please share!! I'm curious how many of you prefer real art or prints, or your kids art lol

| | How To Be Happy | | FarrAt the airport bookstore, there are only about a dozen freestanding shelves of books. It´s Darwinian selection at its most brutal: only the most popular authors, the newest novels, and the most recognizable classics survive. You won´t find the lesser known works of Oscar Wilde or Voltaire or even Hemingway — there isn´t space for them. Jane Austen makes only the briefest appearance, and Edgar Allen Poe shows his face only at Halloween. There are no collections of poetry beyond Dr. Seuss. There is, however, a whole rack of self help books. Americans are obsessed with making ourselves better. Smarter. Thinner. You can buy books to improve your vocabulary. You can devour a stack of books that will teach you to work more efficiently, more ruthlessly, and claw your way to the top — and then you can read books on how to stop and smell the roses and enjoy your life more fully. There are even books that will teach you how to organize your closets. All of these things dance around the essential truth: we want to be happy. We want to be loved. We want to find meaning in our lives and feel that our contributions make a difference. This, then, is the Rusty Brain Guide: How... | |

What about you....do you have a favorite episode? Do you watch the repeats or do you have the seasons on dvd? | |
| | eHow and their eHow Many People Can They Make Angry? | | The eHow publishing website is home to many "how to" type of articles, ranging from the most simple way of doing one thing to giving a very detailed step by step on how to do the exact same thing. Yesterday eHow made public their decision to turn the user publication system over to their parent company Demand Studios. Demand Studios requires the typical user information and also asks for a phone number and resume with related writing experiences to be detailed. Some eHow users were pre-approved to join Demand Studios while others were told to apply. Here's where the qunadry comes in.... Some ehow writers that were pre-approved were people who were just recently turned down to write at the Demand Studios website. The decision to pre-approve eHow writers was based on a percentile of written articles vs. approved articles before March 31. However, beginning in early March the eHow site began having difficulty with their publishing system and many authors were not able to get their articles published in a timely manner or before March 31, and were therefore excluded from the pre-approval stage. Demand Studios has a higher criteria, does not allow writers to retain the rights... | |
