1. Being shallow there will not be an urge to turn it into horizontal storage.
2. Perfect for staging big dinners into the adjacent dining room.
3. Tells everyone this is one room and not two rooms spliced together.
Check out the oversupply of Wilton Armetale and Moscow Mule mugs.

| Admit it. There's miscellaneous stuff that you'd use if you could get to it easily. |

| Cheese planks, Thai chicken salad bowls, baked bean pot, display fruit bowl. You got them too but can you get to them? |

Oh, how I hate organizing that stuff. A plate, cup and knife, fork and spoon should suffice, unless a bowl is needed too.
Still in labor and she's doing fine. I don't know about them, but I'm tired of this.
Organize? No, just make a kitchen that "accepts" the oddballs.
Alright. Everyone admit it. You want a mug of German beer from a stein or a Moscow Mule in copper mug or Sangria from a decorated pitcher or a Pernod Oddball about now.
Got my credit union statement, and I got 100% interest instead of 2 cents. Also among their blanishments for me to get a mortgage was a promise that they weren't going to sell it. Wow. Never saw that before.
Dollars interest.
I want a Sangria with lots of good fruit, including blackberries and pineapples as well as orange apple and lemon slices and a glass large enough to hold it all. Maybe raspberries too. I want someone else to make it for me.
Find it? I'd be happy if I rembered it existed.
No cherries? I think you are imagining a Tropical Punch.
Love the side board we have a kitchen counter bar that works fantastic at get togethers. It has cupboard for those occasionally used large items.
How would you serve low sodium diet H2O with cracked organic ice, shaken not stirred?
She's having a c section. Rats.

First meal in the new kitchen will be boiled hotdogs and baked beans.
The irony is delicious.
The kid is long and perfectly formed. He is gorgeous. Even his fingers are long. He has hair too. He looks happy. 21 inches and slightly more than 8 pounds.
Yick. You prefer to have a beautiful kitchen and dull food? I prefer the reverse. But my kitchen is very nice too. You cook hire a half time cook for years for what you paid.
We are still moving in and don’t have it all together yet.
Great news on the grand baby.
Certainly cherries. Are they in season. Hehehehehehe
I love that hose-y flavor.
Kali has determined drinking from the green garden hose will kill you. How did I survive my child hood? We do have the special white hose for the RV but use bottled water. LOL!
LL Congrats!
We may be joining the grand parents club as well. :)
Good Morning!
Starbucks is dumping plastic straws. Now how about bring your own recycled paper cup. LOL!
Yay. Congrats.
Drinking from the hose in Hamilton was only dangerous for the first use in spring/summer ... that's when you risked finding wasps had built a nest in the coil (or worse - at the nozzle).
From the Melancholy Good news Dept.
Got my first significant cash outlay from my Mom's estate ($20k). I believe there's one more $20-30K chunk to come, (should be relatively soon). After that, it's just the house, which I've pretty much told my brother, if he wants to be a slum lord, he's welcome to try, but I digress.
In any case, for the first time in my life I actually have a robust emergency fund, and what (for me) is an obscenely large amount of idle cash currently sitting in my checking account.
My first instinct is to shove the bulk of it into a Roth IRA, (I've got opened a standard IRA last year with Vanguard, but I'm 90% certain the new tax laws will remove me from the itemization cohort.
In any case, I figured before I pull the trigger I'd ask for input from what amounts to my only cadre of investment savvy acquaintances to see if there's a better option I'm overlooking.
Note: I turn 56 in 3 weeks. I've got 124 months left on my 3.99% mortgage ($66k to pay off), I could cut that in half adding $500/month to principal. And I'm currently adding a grand a month to my emergency fund (which is over-funded already).
So, I've got the complexity of needing to decide what to do with my windfall AND what to do with my excess disposable income.
My opinions on what to do. They are food for thoughts. Back end of the mortgage little is gained, you basically are paying down hard dollars and little $ to the Bankster. Save and collect interest as an off set. Right now here $10K will get 3.0% for 36mo. However much you save makes that part of the mortgage interest .99%. You still have your safety net money available.
If you have a company match retirement account do not contribute more then they do. Keep control of your money as there is always a chance problems coming when the government takes your retirement money and issues you a piece of paper.
Balance risk with safety. IMO.
Agree,except look at your own personal preferences. Hub and I both wanted a paid off house, so any extrA money went house.
I'd put $10k at $400-500 per month aside to pay down the mortgage.
I'd find a laddered mix of corporate paper less than 5 years.
Start a modest Roth IRA. And I'd invest aggressively. The mix they usually recommend for 40 year olds. Except little/no govt debt. Save enough to catch some tech stock(s) on a dip. Look at "Dogs of the Dow" to see if anything looks attractive.
Insurance is expensive. With so much cushion look at reducing comprehensive coverage levels.
Match anything you are offered to the max level.
Personal suspicion. REITs look a lot more valuable than their prices. Look into that but don't hold me responsible.
Take a real vacation. No, a -real- vacation. Sometimes we develop tunnel vision of trench perspective. Get out of the foxhole and get a bigger perspective.
Agree with dowg as to fabulous vacation . Or. Some other item or experience that you've always wanted, but felt you could never afford. Don't retire at the earliest time allowed. I'd wait untiL THE 10 year t bill was and then bbn buy 4.5 or 5%, is your emergency stash is 6 months, ok. Also, im think of the Mormon thing of having a year or 2 of groceries. We are having solar installed. Need a N.ew roof anytime soon? A j ew w comfy sofa?
I'll let Liz correct that autocorrect but there is a new post and... it isn't about the kitchen!
Yay??
