Is short term memory loss normal?
Comments (11)YES! YES! YES! You are fine!! Gee if that's your biggest worry, you should sit back & feel good! I have to call my daughter from the video store to ask her what movies we've seen! I've also read that memory problems will resolve after a few years. Just continue using your mind & learning new things. The best thing for you is to stay active, work out, & most of all start lifting weights - that is the single most important thing we can do for our bones!!! I'm 51 & have been in menopause for at least 5-6 years. It's not so bad, once a year a period may sneak up, but we just trade it for a new set of symptoms....See MoreWhat to do with 6' bookcase?

Comments (11)If you are going to put curtains on it, you will want to be able to move the fabric easily and quickly. Use curtain rings--they slide easily. Or have a curtain hold-back mounted on the side of the bookcase, so that you can easy tuck the fabric there when you want to get something off one of the shelves. Honestly, I cringe every time I see a home makeover show use a curtain for a closet door. They always use rod-pocket curtains, which don't always slide easily on the rod. So every time someone wants to get something out of the closet, they are fumbling with the curtain, and having to use one hand to hold the curtain out of the way, while trying to get what they want with the other hand. I spent a semester in college in an apartment with a curtain for a closet door. Never again. Curtains can work, but you have to plan them carefully. You could also look into baskets or attractive bins to hold things, instead of covering them up with a curtain. Then the bins act as drawers--you pull one off the shelf and get what you need....See MoreIs this space around our dishwashers normal?
Comments (9)It's normal when a space is designed for an American sized DW and a Euro sized DW is placed in the hole instead. If you design the space to only fit a Euro sized DW, then that's all you can ever buy. You can't make a hole larger without rebuilding the cabinet. But, you can make it smaller with just a bit of work, so that you have the choice of either type of DW in the future. The solution is to use some sheet foam insulation applied to the cavity and then some wood trip to hide the edge of the insulation. You will get added sound dampening, and a better look as well. And if your current DW ever dies on you and you want to replace it with a full sized American model, it's easily reversed to fit that type....See MoreWhat to do if my trellis is too short
