@basveeling+lh: That is extremely clever. Read more

@38thsignal: Nobody suggested anyone would give guests *dirty* linens, just that linens that have been in the closet for awhile don't smell fresh and should be rewashed/tumbled to freshen them. Read more

@dbx: Your facetiousness is actually inspirational. I have so many LED flashlights around the house it's ridiculous. I never thought to put one in the guest basket. Read more

@rbeck: In fairness if you don't count the futon as part of the package you could fit everything in the above guest bed into a 2x2x2 storage ottoman. You might have to pack tight and turn the shower tote into the guest basket to conserve space, but I think it could be done! Read more

@dragonskin: I try. For being as grumpy/unsocial as I can tend to be.... I do try to host well. ;-) Read more

@phoenixdollface7: Sleeping on the couch was a vastly better plan than stumbling into each room one by one like Goldilocks looking for the right bed. ;-) Read more

@CurtCole: It'd definitely easier to have feminine products on hand for guests and not seem creepy if you have a female roommate or spouse. Read more

@soldstatic: Re: the list of things to do.... I think it's pretty unrealistic to want to do everything with your guests for an extended visit. Read more

@KupoCheer: I'm with you. The nearest IKEA is a 2 hour drive. =( Read more

Well I'll be. I thought I'd already done that but I just double checked and I hadn't finished the last step in series. +250 for me! Read more

@Kalidor: That sounds like quite a handy setup for guests! Would you mind taking pictures of it and putting them in the Lifehacker Tip Testers Pool or email them to [email protected] ? I'd love to highlight your setup! Read more

@jeffgoldwarf: Annnnd back under the bridge you go. Read more

@chair-force: I tell you... once you get the ban hammer swinging it's really hard to stop. Read more

@weatherking: @wigglestheholy: It's not a repost. Read more

! How did I overlook that? I'm very curious as to the content/construction of the rack. Read more

@sirmeili: I'm sure you can spend a mint on a fancy one. I bought a $15 semi-automatic pitter that was on sale for $8 and I've been quite pleased with it. In the hour you spent pitting you could easily have pitted all those cherries and started a recipe using them. Read more

@sundae1888: That was the only unitasker in my kitchen I could really come up with... there is no substitute for a simple cherry pitter. It's so simple to use and does such a great job. You can pit cherries other ways, but not as cleanly or quickly. Read more

@nerdwa: Nope. Usually you'll only need the ram-extension cards for heavy-lifting games like the Quake II port. Read more

@Marand: Fixed! Read more

@gearkraft: Such a great cover. I'm the guy that always has the cool camera so I'm the one always *taking* the pictures. I'm the invisible member of every party. ;-) Read more
