Is it selfish when someone has food on their plate, but they take more food?

Nam

My friend tends to do this A LOT! We eat with each other, and he grabs a load of food to put on his plate. For example, there are several more shrimp left; I have nothing on my plate, while he has a lot on his, and he takes the last of the shrimp. Is this selfish?

Answer
A way to solve this problem is to put each person's food onto their plates and do not have a shared bowl from which to take the food. If there's any left over, don't mention it, simply leave it on the kitchen bench and when he has finished eating, and you're full as well, tell him that if he's still hungry he may have what's still left on the kitchen bench. Don't always have some left over, or he'll just stand up and race you to where he knows there's food. Sometimes have extra, at other times don't have any extra. He'll slowly learn to ask, and will probably learn to follow the good example you've set down for him by asking if you have finished and if you'd like more food. Sometimes, it's better to put ideas into practise than to try and verbally instruct others. The chances of his having seen and heard of table etiquette are high, he just needs to stop and think about what he's doing.

where would be the best place to purchase an indoor play center for my 2 yr old.?

Casey

I have a empty room that is 20' by 15' and I am looking to get the best deals on a padded activity center with various stations. It would be ideal if I could make out with under $1000.

Thanks for you answers.

Answer
Your best bet, I would say is to use some imagination and go to Walmart and Toys R Us. You can get the outside club houses with the slides there, and whatever other kind of stations that you may be looking for. As far as the mats, you may want to try a gymnastics center. If you are looking for an all padded center.... you are probably looking at a lot more money. I would do fun stations for the kids and put the mats around it. At Walmart... you can get a ball pit for $50.00.... a kitchen set for $50.00... just try and be creative! I have a similar size room... mine isn't padded, but I have a sandbox, a ball pit, a kitchen set, a tool bench, a toy box, a plastic table for coloring and play dough.... if that helps with any ideas. I am not sure exactly what it is you are looking for, but I hope that it helps you. And Good Luck!

What to do with a really long living room?

kitchen tables benches sets image

starryeyed

OK this is hard to describe, but let's just say that it's 30 by 13 and the picture window ends up right opposite the entry way from the kitchen- so that the couch can't be placed there...
It's like, OK, here's the door that we don't use... here's the only place for the TV, right across from te long couch, and the recliner ends up on the same wall.
Yikes!
I hate this house.

Answer
I can't really picture the room and it wouldn't help you anyway.

What you usually do with long narrow rooms is break up the space and use it for different things.

With a room that narrow, bring the furniture away from the walls to make what is called a conversational cluster around the TV with seating. Put the sofa at a 45 deg angle from any wall, facing the TV then put a tall table behind it...then allow a way into the seating group with a shorter piece to finish out the V. Does this make sense?

Then use other pieces, totally outside that grouping to make other arrangements. You might have 2 chairs with a table in between right in front of the pic window, if it offers a nice view.

These might be little isolated groupings, and against the walls but NOT in a row...kind of stagger anything like this, one across and down from the other, or whatever. You don't want to line them up trailer house style (with everything on one side and a passageway to everything on the other side).

You might place a bookshelf and one chair and table, make it a cozy reading area.

You might define a corner as a toy area.

You can use the area closest to the door as a launching pad...with a storage bench to hold mittens, backpacks, etc, sit down to put on and remove shoes, and a coat tree and a mirror for out the door. You do say you don't use this door, my question would be why not? This might enable you to MAKE use of the door, bring traffic into that space, and make it more user friendly.

You might have a small writing desk or a computer station.

You might be able to put a dinette set in there. Make the length of the table follow the length of the room so it doesn't obstruct traffic.

An alternative, might be able to put a card table in somewhere, with folding chairs and slipcovers to make it look nice...and set up a checker or chess board, etc. Keep a small shelf or cabinet nearby to keep games in. Make sure there is adequate lighting. Put the table at an angle for visual interest.

Use floor coverings to define spaces too. You can hold any of these arrangements together by using area rugs. And each area can have a slightly different color scheme than the others. You can also play with the color scheme in each area to define different spaces. If you have four colors through the whole space, use a different dominant color in each area, and round out with the other three to keep the space cohesive but slightly different.

Boy I hope I am making sense.

Do keep traffic patterns clean so you don't have to squiggle through the room to get from one end to the other. You don't want a completely straight line but you don't want an obstacle course either. Just a gentle, natural walkway.

Is there a good book on kitchen cabinet making?

chnl247

my dad wants to try out making kitchen cabinets.. he's kind of a do it to learn it type of guy and I want to help him out by finding him a good book for starters... Can someone help me out??

Answer
You need more than just some knowledge to build good cabinets. You also need a set tools that include a 10' table saw, a router, a random orbital sander, many large and smaller clamps, a large work bench and a fair size work space. A pneumatic brad nailer and a finish nailer are also real assets.

The absolute best information on how to build quality cabinets is from the New Yankee Workshop. The DVD's listed below are not cheap but they have a wealth of information in video form.
