The Shoutbox
I've found that the more space I have available, the more clutter that I'm likely going to create. When I went back to school in a 1-bedroom apartment, that place was near spotless.

Anyhoozles, just taking a short break from reports.
but that also means the staircase to the basement is a good one to die on. i don’t set foot on it without my cellphone.
and it has a 9.5ft ceiling, which is unheard of here given the age of the house.
Yeah, it’s got an unfinished daylight basement.
One of my apartments is about 900 sq ft but I like it all on the same level.

My house occupies the same floor space as a 2/3 bedroom apartment. It's about 40 sq ft shy of 1000. Other than the batshit cost of everything I absolutely love it.
It's like two floors, though, right?
I finally watched that acorn video. Omg, the combat roll.

what brand? i got a Dohm in every room with a bed. sleeping sucks when i travel, tho.
Sound and Sleep Hi-Fi. Pretty sure I got it from a medical supply house.

People also use them to prevent eavesdropping.
