    Does anyone else like windchimes?

    Dear wife loves wind chimes. She has Corinthian bells which area very mellow sounding. We only hang them in the enclosed lanai, so they only chime during days we have the windows open. We don't want to disturb the neighbors having them chime at night.

    Wood burners linked to 2,500 deaths a year in the UK

    My guess is the restaurants are just looking for a way to make more money. They won't give you a second Coke as a free refill but I bet they will sell you a second one. If they were really concerned with your health they would not be selling it in the first place. You don't make much money...

    Men - Rate Going to Costco with Your Spouse
