I managed to visit with family and friends in both Buffalo and New Jersey along with getting some serious Spring cleaning while on vacation this week.

7 Beautiful but Deadly Plants for National Houseplant Appreciation Day [PHOTOS]

You’ve probably let it sneak up on you again. You’ve been so busy getting back to work and shaking off those winter blues that you almost forgot January 10th is Houseplant Appreciation Day. This is not a day that should go unnoticed.

The green thumbs at The Gardener’s Network established Houseplant Appreciation Day to remind people about their indoor botantical buddies after the rush of the holiday season has passed and to celebrate the benefits of houseplants and encourage green thumbs.

And, they’re right. Houseplants deserve a lot of appreciation. If you think about it, they don’t ask for much and they’re very easy to live with. However, this is not true of all plants. Some of them can kill you, like the plant Gelsemium elegans, which a man in China put in a stew to kill a business rival.

Could You Live In Ten Square Feet? [VIDEO]

Did you see our post about the 90 square foot apartment in Manhattan? How about the family that lives in a 320 square foot home? My home is approximately 1700 square feet and according to the National Association of Home Builders, the average American home is 2,700 square feet.

Okay, the first two bins are for cardboard like pizza boxes, kleenex containers or food packages. The middle bin is oval shaped for plastic containers like juice and milk containers. Now the 4th bin is for empty aluminum cans and the 5th is for glass containers. Often I find my self cleaning up after a family that just throws anything in any bin, and it can get messy.

An Amazing Prediction Of The Future Of The PC [VIDEO]

I stumbled onto a fantastic video from 1966 that speculates on what life will be like in the future of the home computer. It is so funny the way they talk about 'the wife' and 'the husband'. Unlike most videos from the past that speculated on flying cars and robots doing all our chores, this one went for the 'home shopping' angle, bank account unification and a way to send letters electronically all over the world. Wow, I thought to myself, right on. Check it out.

Josh Ferrin has got to be the most honest  person I've heard about in a long time.

Ferrin recently returned $45,000 in cash he found in the attic of his new Bountiful, Utah home to the family of the house’s previous owner.

Ferrin came across the loot when he discovered a piece of carpet nudging out from the ceiling of his garage while unpacking. He hopped on a ladder and his eyes quickly opened wide when he saw rolls and rolls of bills.

123 Fall Ill After Night In Playboy Hot Tub

Last February, Hugh Hefner and his crew held a fundraising event at the notorious Playboy mansion.

And this one resulted in over 100 people reporting pneumonia and flu-like symptoms after the evening’s shindig came to a close.

Two months later, Los Angeles Health officials finally know what may have caused the outbreak: the Legionella bacterium, a potentially lethal bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease. It was located in a sample of water taken from the Playboy’s famed hot tub.
