any door in our house, because if you pull on Maternity Bridesmaid Dresses the door the knobs come off in your hands.Occasionally we look at each other, holding knobs and declaring that we really must do something.But only after putting some railings in the back garden, which has a fair amount of steps.My husband is against putting railings in, but he should talk.He is wearing a foot brace or whatever you call it after falling down in the backyard and breaking a bone in his toe.I love lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling, which has cracks and water patches on itI’m a bit of a dreamer and I love lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling, which has cracks and water patches on it.Once we had a particular patch repaired but, regular as winter, it appears again.but then we repaired it before and the disease has reappeared.Is it worth re-repairing?I know we just repaired the roof a second time, about two years ago, because people told us that roofs are important.Why do I have water stains on my bedroom ceiling if we fixed up the roof?Where is the tap that turns the water off?I know it’s somewhere in the basement, but I can’t seem to keep its whereabouts in my mind.I have to replace my mattress.I can feel the coils when I sit down and do my up-and-down exercises.There is a mattress store about five blocks from my house but I’d rather stay at home and read about the mayors in Montreal and Toronto than shop at a mattress store.Don’t you think it’s time to change it?Those little green leaves must be driving you crazy.What would drive me crazy is a workman hanging new wallpaper throughout this house.It’s enough that I changed the carpet on our stairs after years of urging from my daughter.Paxy, my poodle, had left her marks, and then some, during her training years.We should get rid of all those leftover toys that our grandchildren never play with anymoreThen what am I supposed to do with all the Plus Size Bridesmaid Dresses books in the house?I once suggested we should get some one in and take away the ones we don’t want.My husband was horrified.I hadn’t seen him reading the biography of Lord Beaverbrook or the U.general Lucius Clay recently or even ever.And there are all those outdated guidebooks, some 20 years old, to destinations like Singapore and Dallas and places we will never go.Oh yes, there are all the screens on the windows that don’t fit.And all those windows painted shut tight in the basement, thanks to the painters the last time we had them in.And we should get rid of all those leftover toys that our grandchildren never play with anymore.Yes, I still have my wedding dress and both my daughters wore it many years ago.Maybe it’s time to get rid of it, or at least get the champagne stains out along with the screen windows.RelatedSondra Gotlieb: Condo dwellers don’t have to deal with black mud backups and rodent tenants squattingSondra Gotlieb: Fodor’s guidebooks are more useful than E.Kate Middleton baby: Royal birth could be good for UK economyLONDON British officials are hoping that the impending royal birth will produce a bouncing baby buoy for the economy.With the Duchess of Cambridge due to give birth

right to the shopping mall for street party snacks, summer frocks and suntan lotion.And happy national occasions with the royal family and a new heir hit an emotional jackpot in Britain boosting national pride along with tea, cakes and commemorative china.Royal fever is more intense now, actually, said Pauline Maclaran, a professor of marketing and consumer research at Royal Holloway and the

birth is being seen as the country s latest installment of Big Events.First, in April 2011, there was the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, an extravaganza of horse-drawn carriages,
