From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor
Some folks just sit around, waiting for other people to do stuff for them. But not good ol' Bob here. No siree. That's not my style. See all those links below? Those are articles from our Guides to help you help me.

An Origami Gift Card
Let's start off easy. You know how, at holiday/birthday time, you want to send me a gift card but are unsure of how to present it? Well, be unsure no longer. Best part: You don't need any tools for this. Dana, our Guide to Origami, says this should take you about 15 minutes, so you can get right back to making my cake. Aw, you shouldn't have!

Basic Container Candles
OK, there's no getting around this one: I like red candles. And I really, really appreciate the effort you've gone through to make these beautiful red candles for me.

Old World Charm: The Tall Oak Mirror
In my neighborhood, there are hundreds and hundreds of old brownstones, and on the parlor floors you can often find 100+ year old mirrors that go floor to ceiling. They are magnificent. So, basically, I'm saying it would be great if you helped finance a brownstone for me. I mean, where else am I going to put the mirror you are making for me? I'm just being practical, you know.

The Floating Deck
Since you can't possibly know what kind of home I have or that my investment in pork rinds has gone totally south, it's okay to assume that this floating deck will look perfect next to my cardboard box under the bridge.
