Household Muse
2009-02-25 20:01:00 That's the name of a suite for piano by Darius Milhaud, but could also apply to my own house. This is the abstract for my husband's latest publication. His interest in motion camouflage inspired the making of my poem:Dying SeasonBy the time our father bolted from his sickbed to squeeze the nurse’s breast, we’d worked ourselves into a frenzy of waiting.When he fell back on the pillow, he’s sleeping, we whispered. He can’t hear our words’ mad buzz.Outside, a dragonfly, transparent wings on a blue-tinged stick, hovered above a broken cricket dragging through backyard thatch. It rose up, sudden as a mind changing, and the room sagged with breath held against the last thing we wanted to see: a pair of wings escaping, the world left out of reach.

Housing Price Impact on Household Income
2009-02-23 01:19:00 The deflation of the housing bubble (which was fueled by low rates and relaxed lending standards) triggered the current financial crisis and is now impacting Main Street through deteriorating consumer confidence. Falling home prices are a sure way to turn consumer spending levels toxic, but I think it is more than fiscal conservatism that is triggering decisions. I took a quick look at median home prices (and the year-on-year increases) and compared the gains to the average household income. The average consumer trend for the last 5-10 years has been to live comfortably, and then refinance surplus debt (credit cards, auto-loans, etc) into the home mortgage. As the mentality that home prices will always go up persisted, it became easier for consumers to associate home gains as additional household income that could be captured through refinancing. Although based on wide assumptions, the table below shows that consumer incomes were 10-20% higher due to average home price appreciation...
Storage Solutions for Every Household Need
2009-02-12 12:59:00 As storing articles in the modern day urban accommodation has become quite impossible people are on the lookout for storage solutions that are effective. Garages, attics and unused cabinets are definitely a household remedy to the problem, but these do not offer any permanent or satisfactory solution as the articles might get damaged in the long run. But its not that everybody can afford paid storehouses. Therefore, they have to make the best of the household remedies that are available to them. Household resources can be used wisely for storing articles. Milk crates can be used for storing a lot of household stuff. Before using them, however, they should be washed and cleaned well. Otherwise they might turn out to be pretty unhygienic places for storing as there might be a growth of mold on them. Milk crates are good storage solutions as they are pretty light and very durable. They are good for storing books or equipment. They can also be transformed into beautiful shelves by linin...

Canadian Household Debt On the Rise
2008-07-17 16:02:00 The level of household debt has been steadily increasing for the last 20 years in Canada so it should be no surprise that it continued to rise again this quarter. The average Canadian household now has an average of 19.6 cents of debt for every dollar of networth and household debt is averaging about 123.8% of personal disposable income. This is a frightening figure at this stage of the financial cycle as it is much more likely that interest rates will be rising than decreasing. An increase in interest rates will of course make managing this debt much more difficult for many Canadian households. How does your household debt compare to your personal disposable income?

Get Rid Of Ants Without An Exterminator [Household]
2008-06-09 05:00:00 Has warm weather brought a plague of ants down upon your home? We’ve talked about deterring ants with baby powder, but frugal blog fivecentnickel.com shares the following more aggressive method: First, pick up some boric acid powder (available at most drug stores) and mix a small amount of it 50:50 with table sugar. There’s nothing particularly scientific about this ratio, so it’s fine to just eyeball it. Next, put some of this mix into a small container such as the the cap from a milk jug or the lid from a 2 liter bottle. Finally, drizzle some water into it to make a slurry (i.e., a thick suspension). That’s it — you’re now ready to kill some ants. Some ants feed off fats and grease instead of sweets, so you can make this mixture with peanut butter instead of sugar should the first round of ant warfare prove ineffective.
