Yea, I'm back again. This topic is slowing down to "Page 2" My apology to drivers of any age. No offense to anyone in either age bracket. Almost added "tourists that stop to admire a palm tree", but chose not to go there. Oh sheets! I'll answer that one. Line washed, dryer dried. In the heat of the day, while gardening, Thick sunscreen or just a hat and elbow grease?

Gosh, this has been pretty interesting reading. We're kind of all over the place in these debates, likes and dislikes, etc. DH drove an SUV for three years, disliked it, bought a honda. I drove a station wagon when we left Manhattan for our stint in St. Louis, then moved on to minivans for hauling our three kids, dogs and friends to activities and a lake home. Now I drive a Prius and DH drives a Leaf. We have a secondhand pickup for hauling stuff and DH keeps his VW convertible for longer drives than his 8 minute commute to work. He would love a Tesla, and in a few years when they've proved their staying power, will probably get one. I hate sitting on benches and would not like to ask even a child to sit on one---- they're not conducive to relaxing talk after meal. My dining room is still red, but we repainted over every brown wall in this house when we moved in 8 years ago, and, ironically, I am now about to paint a latte color downstairs :-) I like fiberglass tubs and surrounds that are easy to clean and keep clean, even if it's someone else who's doing the cleaning. I think books are the only "decoration" bookcases need, and like open concept when it's been designed by somebody who knows what he or she is doing with the concept, instead of just creating big empty spaces for the sake of calling them open. When I see a teenager driving a Hummer I judge everyone involved in that decision, whoever they might be--- the dumb kid, the dumber salesman, the dumbest parents. I don't judge their morals or care about their net worth, I am ONLY judging their choice of vehicle, but I AM doing it and don't apologize for judging something I think is stupid. I don't share my disdain with them or talk about them behind their backs if I know them. Others are welcome to judge anything about me they think is ridiculous or unnecessary, and there's probably someone out there who does. I couldn't be more indifferent to it. Overall, I don't really follow trends and believe that if I like something, that alone makes it worthy of having, doing, or making. So, not trendy, just....uber opinionatedðÂÂÂ

Yesterday?? Why oh why do I live in zone 5? We're still under snow... I haven't had a clue what the last few roses have been but I'm enjoying them none the less! Karen
