Give us the length and width of each room.

There's no way you can fit *3* decent sized bedrooms, a living room,
*one* bathroom and an "eat in" kitchen into that space unless they
are postage stamp sized. It's hard enough to fit ONE bedroom, a
kitchen, bathroom and living room into 800 sq feet.

Depends on what you call "decent sized". We lived in an apartment the
same size, 800 square feet for about a year. Had 3 bedrooms, each of
100 square feet, 10X10; bathroom was 8X5, 40 square feet, living,
dining, kitchen gave up the other 460 square feet. It ain't
comfortable or roomy but it sure was cheap at $45.00 a month,
including utilities. This was 1961 of course.

My last apartment (1998) was 900 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 baths, living
room, eat-in kitchen and laundry area (stackables, also in the kitchen). A
third bedroom wouldn't have made any sense in that limited space. As it
was, though, for me it was plenty roomy; the 2nd bedroom was my office/extra
storage space.

As for kili, I'd find some way to organize the "computer stuff" in the 2nd
bedroom so the space is usuable. Covered plastic storage bins are cheap at
Wally-World. And carpet shouldn't be a problem. Persia's litterbox is on
carpet in the hall by my 2nd bathroom (there's a sort of recessed area next
to the bathroom door by the utility closet door). I bought one of those
cheap plastic carpet runners to place underneath it. It's cut to fit well
outside the boundaries of the box. No problems But then again, she has
3 cats to my one.

I just got a call from my eldest grand daughter, the 21 yo. She was all
excited, she and her SO are moving into a 950 square foot apartment from
their 650 square foot apartment. She keeps babbling about so much room
and it has an actual kitchen. We're happy for them as long as they are
happy. Hell, I can't even remember being 21 yo.

Speaking of Persia, Jill, have you figured out how you're going to
get her to your Mom's, yet? She's been on my mind.

kili

I'm going home, kili. When/if I come back I'll be driving and bringing her
along. (My middle brother has agreed to take care of Peaches.)

Probably two days of stink left to go.

Your most recent?

Andy: Cut thin slices of onion, put them on a piece of aluminum foil and
set around where needed. Seems to take the stink of burned food and/or

Does it leave the smell of onion in its place?

Strangely enough it doesn't. I think the odors neutralize each other.

Thanx. I'll try that tonight. I'm making stuffed peppers.
