Supposedly they're the industry standard, plus they have a 3 yr warranty. Hopefully these will hold up.

I also liked New Orleans alot, but I haven't been there since before Katrina hit.

...brand of laundry detergent to get. Normally I just use whatever various roommates left here or people without a washing machine brought over. Yes I'm 32 years old and have no idea what laundry detergent to buy. I rarely wash clothes (wear them numerous times before washing) so if it's more money I don't care cause it'll last. If it matters, I wear the same two pairs of Dickies khaki cargo pants and mostly black band tshirts. Also got a couple blankets to wash that are rife with cat hair...

Arm and Hammer on cold wash it is, much obliged...

Seconding the Aerobed. I've slept on mine a few times, it's a little unsettling for me, but I was able to fall asleep on it.

Not looking for anything fancy, just something that will get the job done!nah! those are ugly. I'm really pleased with my record storage. I picked up an ikea rationell variera pot-lid holder:$3it fits all of my 7" in a pleasing and easy to browse through manner:besides the artwork is the best thing about records. with this set up, I'm able to have a constantly changing view of the artwork. I've used it for 12", too, but those get heavy.regardless, make sure you screw the thing into a stud, or use mollys. even 7" are weighty.

Actually my record storage cost me about $15 all told, but i don't have an insane collection. that said, with some patience and thrift store scrounging, I came up with some really lovely solutions.the 10" rack is an Illinois Auto Electric Company letter holder:and the 12" magazine rack for the records I am currently playing:both were free/found.The rest of the 12" records go in this broyhill brasilia thing I got for $10:
