Jean, this is from the article you linked also: "It has long lasting effects against target weeds when applied at low rates. Clopyralid has low toxicity to humans and animals." I did read the entire article and many more starting back in May trying to figure out what was going on and if it was safe to eat our tomatoes. I have read so many conflicting articles on the safety of vegetables effected by herbicides, animals who consume herbicide tainted feed, the low (or high) toxicity to humans. Conflicting articles on the use of pesticides and whether they have "low toxicity" to animals and humans. Enough to make your head spin. Your last post seemed a little condenscending, but that is the problem with the written word. You may have just meant to be helpful. I have evolved as a gardener over the past 30 years. I would not have hesitated to use a pesticide on our garden that many years ago, now I do not. I would have sprayed weed killer on the lawn and in the beds that many years ago also. I haven't done that in years. I just don't buy that it passes through the gut of the animal unchanged or that it is "low in toxicity to humans".

I've been sitting here for a few minutes contemplating what I'd do if I had a day to myself. No kids? No interruptions? Peace and quiet all day long? It's sounding so good, I just might try to arrange it in the next couple of months! :) I would sleep in. I'd read in bed. I'd have a long bath, go check out a couple of thrift stores, eat lunch out.... I'd go for a nice hike somewhere quiet by the water. I'd go home and order in some Vietnamese soup for dinner. I'd read out on the deck with a big glass of wine and some jazz music. Then I'd watch a good chick flick before reading in bed some more. Ahhhh.... I feel refreshed just having written about it! :)

You ask a timely question. I have the issue facing me. A loveseat and a sofa both of which are really like daybed style, since I don't like big arms and such on my furniture. They both have loose pillows, and a single bottom cushion/mattress. Here is the picture of the loveseat, now on my sunporch. From the back: From the front: The sofa is just about one person wider. Both can be free-standing, since the backs are ornamental. But I want to turn one of them with the back to the new entry, and the sofa might stick out so folks have to go around it. I have two new chairs (dining chairs) to use in the living room which would pair nicely opposite the love seat, or pushed together to make a longer armless white leather and stainless steel "bench." (Think Barcelona chair.) But, I'm also wondering if I can use the SOFA in the front bedroom which will become our study and library. I first though to have back to back (opposite walls) desks for our computers, but now I'm thinking to give MOST of the room to my DH, who is pouting because the Teahouse is ALL MINE. He is of an age now when he likes to take an afternoon nap, and I don't like the living room looking like a flop house when he comes in with his gardening clothes. I am also removing the TV from over the mantle, removing it from the living room. It will be a place to make conversation. Listen to music, which might be coming from the dining room. Yes, the large TV will be hung on the wall above a small buffet and this will be OPPOSITE the window seat. I will also be able to watch/listen from the kitchen. If space is a problem and you mean really GET RID of the sofa or loveseat, I'd keep the LOVESEAT, and get/build an ottoman to use as a coffee table, making that ottoman the same height and width of the loveseat, so it could be used like a sleeping chaise when pushed together, or as a separate seat when another person wishes to sit. We all have our different comfort zones, of how much personal space we need. And adjust for hearing ability or lack thereof. Like my DH is almost deaf at times, and a chair which can be drawn up close or at 90 degrees where he can lip read, that would be good. Also, furniture pushed against the wall with no "breathing" room adds an institutional feel to a home environment. Pull it out from the wall, and you make it more personal and cozier. If your wall areas feel empty, get some potted plants really big ones, or some tall lamps and wall pieces but be sure to leave breathing room so your furnishings will all be special. Oh yeah. Here I found a picture of the sofa while it was on the sunporch. I used that strip of African printed fabric to keep it looking fresh after we sat on it. For neatness, I'd go with the loveseat. And more flexible in arrangement options too.

Sorry then, Im new to this forum. This is a college appartement. Each person gets one room. Because the sun is on the side of “Wohnen 1“ and “Wohnen 2“, I want to choose either one of these. I want to fit a table(preferably right at the window, for sunlight, while working), a couch, a bed and a closet - The ceilings are very high… about 10,2 feet.
