The wood will last longer if you

use containers inside of it. If you want to disguise the containers you can put something like spagnum moss over the dirt and let it cover the edges of the container(s).
Sounds like it is going to be neat. What kind of plants? Climbing vine?

Always better on the wood stove...
My grandfather had a room in the back of the house that was heated by wood stove (they got central heat when I was a kid, but he closed off the vents and heated that room with a wood stove because he liked it better). Sometimes my grandmother would cook in there just because it tasted better.

That really was the good ole' days......
Wood stove
My ex-inlaws still use one.
Any one out there using a wood burning - sm
stove for heat? Preferably a Glacier Bay stove but if not please feel free to chime in. We just bought an old Glacier Bay wood stove so we can supplement our propane heat next winter as the cost of propane is a bit higher this year and he hears they plan to start taxing it to death soon, so we figured this is a good way to cut costs, etc. This particular stove has 2 decorative embossed doors on the front with a winter cottage scene, house in snow/pine trees, really very nice. Apparently originally they were highlighted wtih a bronze or silver finish, according to the sales brochure the previous (or original) owner had. Really very nice looking. They were a rusty gray which my DH refinished yesterday and painted black with the stove paint they gave us. The previous owner refinished everything but the doors. They are solid steel. So my question is does anyone have any idea how we could refinish the doors to their original glory? Or where we may take them to get them restored? It looks great now but obviously would look fantastic if we could re-highlight the higher raised parts of the scene. If I can figure out how to post picture I may do that later today.
Bamboo? Not really a wood, rather a grass
I pulled out all my carpet (have a very hairy cat who sheds constantly) and put in 1400 s.f. of bamboo bought from Lumber Liquidators. It's not really wood, though it looks just like wood, it's really a grass made into wood-looking flooring. Easy to take care of too. My cat throws up too but now on the floor (and not the rugs that I now have in several places. *S*
Once I did this, I could now *see* the dirt that I couldn't really *see* in carpeting and one gets to see what y'all have been breathing in (with carpeting) for decades no matter HOW much one vacuums. I must say we are all BREATHING better since I got rid of the wall-to-wall carpeting!
Best of luck in whatever you choose to do. *S*
If you don't already have a wood scratching post - sm
get one, you say you have some cat things, but is it just plaing wood, not one of those carpeted ones. I got ours at PetsMart, it is a special wood post with holes in it to "attract" the cat. We got ours when she was a kitten and has always uses just that. There is the stray try on the bedpost or dresser, but luckily I have always seen these attempts and just yell at her and she stops; so far no harm has been done as I have always caught her before she dug in. The only other thing she likes to claw at is an exercise mat (one of those that go under a piece of equiment), we have it over the brick pad in our kitchen (for a wood stove that we do not have) so the kids would not fall and hurt themselves. The cat loves to claw on that, I generally let her though cleaning up the little black pieces is a drag, though the vacuum gets them up quite nicely. But she leaves the furniture alone except to lie on it and sleep all day! My daughter wants to get another cat, I don't, can't believe we would get another that would be so good. I guess you could just keep a really good eye on them and if they start to scratch, maybe use a spray bottle on them to deter them, or a sharp no (that is what I do when I catch her in her rare lapses). I hope you find a solution.
If you do it yourself, practice on some scrap wood a few

My last MIL cooked everything on wood stove
and things were delicious. She never had electric nor gas and probably would have never wanted one. How she did it, I will never know. She cooked everything from collard greens to breads such as biscuits and cornbread. Yum, yum.
We have wood laminate and LOVE it easy to
throughout our main floor other than the bedrooms and it is very easy to care for (we have 1 dog and 4 small kids). We also have Frieze carpet in our downstairs it is light beige, but has flecks of darker colors in there and our dog (and kids) have thrown up on it many times and you can't tell. I do however have a Bissel shampooer that I use whenever something happens to the carpet, but it seems to wear really well.
Maybe you could get wood, Pergo style or tile?
Of course if your carpet is in good condition, that could really hurt the pocketbook.
We have Pergo (Wilson Art brand, actually), and it works well for the dogs, although it is a little slippery and cold. (My dogs like cold though, and our carpeting was trashed). Real wood would be warmer. You'd need to keep nails cut and discourage running in the house to keep it looking really nice though.
Question re wood laminate flooring
We have wood laminate flooring in our study, which we love. However, we are going to put a room-sized rug in there because my beloved dog, Fox, a 10-year-old Pomeranian, not only has problems with patellar luxation (with four surgeries on his back legs in his first 3-4 years) but now has chronic dislocation of his right shoulder. So you can imagine how much trouble he has trying to stand up on the slippery wood laminate floor. We have tried putting down runners all the way across the floor, plus he has a bed and a blanket down there, too. But it is much cooler lying on the floor, so that's where he stays. He is in here with me all day as I work, but every time I get up, he gets up, scrambling like crazy to get his balance and get his legs firmly under him.
So....to my question. This is a fairly nice rug we are buying, but it says it has a polypropylene backing. Should I get some kind of pad to go between the rug and the laminate floor? I have included a link below, I don't know if that will give you any more information. But I don't want to damage the laminate - the backing on one of the original runners I bought (cheap, from Wal-Mart) stuck to the floor. It didn't damage it, but it was a very small area and I found it fairly quickly. This rug is going to be on the floor long-term.
Thanks in advance for any info! 
Love the Wood Wick candles...sm
sounds like a crackling fire...and they are strongly scented - excellent quality. I also like the Swan Creek Candles. They are highly scented and have some delicious scents. My favorite is Buttercream Vanilla and they have crumbs on top of the candle that melts...wondeful...
Never heard of Circle E candles but try Swan Creek if you see them!

yep, getting longer and longer for me too...
annoying!!!
Sorry I just do not get your point as I no longer am
buying anything for the dog in any kind of way. I said I paid for the surgery and would do that again, no problem. I hate to lose her friendship, really I do but at the same time I am not going to be used. I did what I could and now feel up to them to do the rest. As of the, hmmm, say 5 months I have not helped out in amy way so your post means???
I am not sure why they are no longer speaking
but in due to the fact that she has no contact wtih him, I don't think he should have stayed in the house once he found out she was there. She was visibly upset when she realized he was there and began crying. My phone then rang so I missed what she said to her other housemates. It just seems like this is not the place for this to be handled.
no longer close....
That is what I thought half would be fair. But I know she wouldn't pay it. Because I have learned how she is. I realize I should have gotten it back way before then but I just said you know I am sure she has it put up and I will get it back. I had no idea she shampooed her carpet that often. And no I will not be loaning her anything else. From now on IF I loan something out( she is an exception I won't be loaning her anything) saying you break it you replace it is a good idea. Let's them no if they can't or don't want to replace it then don't borrow it. I did say something to my husband's brother about it. My husband and her husband are twin brothers. He did not offer any money on it. And when I told him I needed to get half of what it cost he gave no answer. My husband says let it go and learn your lesson to never let them borrow again. But I still think it is only fair to have at least half my shampooer cost paid.
In my 20s, I like my hair a lot longer
If I could no longer take care of myself, that's
up already. usually wait a bit longer, but had the time.
It is artificial and I don't like it, but...well, don't have the time to shop for a real one and deal with the mess. busy this year, and alone, so who cares? No Christmas spirit this year.
I would tell them not to visit unannounced any longer.

Looking for cell phones you no longer need...
Hi! My church is collecting cell phones as a fundraiser. If you have an unused cell phone lying around that you would like to get rid of, please let me know! Just let me know what the brand, model number, phone co used for and I will let you know if that is one that is on the list. I will pay for the shipping to get it here!
Thanks a zillion!
Probably here on earth longer than you, but what I am talking about
is the fact that young females can have WITHOUT taking antibiotics. The post above me seems like it was set in concrete this was the problem and fabric softners. There are so many scare tactics here in the US and it just continues and everyone things the sky is falling, oh my!
Symantec (Norton) will no longer allow that
Years ago, we could do that - use one NA program on multiple computers - however-they changed that and they run scans all the time to see what's up and who's doing what. They are truly my most favorite antivirus program (tho there are better ones that cost more *out there* - i.e., panda). F-secure is also very good and I think is free or used to be free.
But know now, that eventually Symantec will catch you..........

If you are no longer using credit cards......
i've had several credit cards throughout my time and all but four are paid off. i don't plan on using the other credit cards ever. they do show up on my credit report. i would like to cancel the ones i don't use, but i've heard that it looks back on your credit report. anyone else have info about this? i think it's a better idea to cancel the cards you will never use again because of the identity theft going on.
Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure. 
My teenage son has longer hair.
He keeps it clean and neat (right now he kind of looks like David Cassidy back in the day). When he starts letting it hang in his eyes, off it comes.
With teenagers you do have to pick your battles. He says that in a few years, it's going to start falling out (he's probably right) so he wants to enjoy it while he can.
Just the once, been single again longer than I was married sm
I married a homophobic homosexual who molested children.
Diabetes, probably no longer than 5 years
I know very well what hypertension and diabetes both can do, had a husband who was dialysis just because of uncontrolled hypertension and eventually dying. She was not strong enough to question (oh, well, she could not have even known maybe what they were saying) the ESLs and yes, there are older folks out there who cannot understand the first thing that comes out of their mouths. Do you not know older people who take everything a physician says as gospel and would not dare "rock the boat" so to say? She has responsibility here, mostly hers, but not being able to understand. They might have told her she was on the verge of kidney failure and she could not comprehend what they were saying and just stuck it out with the same people.
Flu season is lasting longer
I read an article recently, I think in TIme, that said that flu season was lasting longer and doctors were actually giving booster shots to their patients who had gotten flu shots at the beginning of the season.
Just not part of body that grows longer

You're so right! I recently moved, and no longer
receive the San Francisco news on TV. Instead, I get the Sacramento News, which I don't like. So instead of watching TV, lots of times I just pull up my favorite SF news channels online, and watch it at whatever time I want to. It's great! You get it when it's breaking, and you can pick the stories you're interested in, instead of waiting through all the sports stuff, just to have a few words about the story you tuned in to hear get thrown in at the very end of the broadcast.
HOW did we ever live without the internet?
For the first time, I am no longer watching Idol

When my arms no longer reached the keyboard, I was suspicious.
I then lapsed into a coma and didn't wake up until there was a strange person with spiked orange hair in my kitchen, demanding the keys to my car. It was either a burglar or my child - I don't know. They've never come back with the car, but that's not proof of anything so I haven't filed a police report yet.
She needs hard things to help wear the tooth down. Try clean branches, a wooden spoon, wood chews
