Okay, I just have to share this -even if it's ridiculous and I never, ever in my life thought I'd have a conversation about a Vacuum Cleaner. Several months back there was some talk about vacuums, pet hair, etc. Anyhow, we've had a lot of problems with our "good" hoover just not working, getting...

Ok, reading the various posts on framing has encouraged me to take the plunge and try to at least mount my needlework myself!! I've looked all over to find acid-free foam core. I'm in No VA. Where do you guys get this stuff without ending up with a huge quantity of it!?! Any tips, ideas,...

Since we can no longer lock bags that are to go into cargo, I have been using a twist tie to hook the two zippers on my bag together, thinking that the zipper would not catch on something and come open. On the last flight, before I could stop him, my husband got my carry-on bag shipped in cargo. ...
