Wine-cellar encapsulated in a staircase
Ever want a wine cellar but don’t have the space or money to build one? The Spiral Cellars design/build firm will dig a hole right in whatever room you want your cellar in and haul the dirt right out the front door. In the remaining void they infill a highly functionally and visually dazzling spiral-staircase wine cellar to fit all your favorite vintages and go with your favorite funky furniture designs.
Now I need a bunch of wine. And a house.
Happy birthday, tommyrot!
Thanks everyone for all the b-day wishes!
Also thanks to NASA, for scheduling a Shuttle launch on my birthday....
Cat Cora and her wife are both pregnant!
My first reaction is "Awww! How romantic!" and then I remember what having a newborn was like...it was hard enough with ONE hormonally crazed sleep-deprived parent in the house taking care of ONE baby when D was born. Double that and...yikes. Scary!
Happy birthday tommyrot!

One day a week in another program helped me maintain my sanity during high school. And in my experience, gifted programs tend to encourage creativity that normal classes tend to squash.
I think it's because I'm allergic to them that raw tomatoes taste like metal to me.
