If you’re looking for me, I’m busy reading amazon reviews of this item, which I learned about 5 minutes ago.

Photography IS a hobby of mine, but I prefer aspen trees....Owls and such. People are a little freaky. 😂

So can I assume yourphotography setup is a little different than the one at this home that is for sale? This might be a little too freaky... This house demonstrates just how nuts people can be.

wow! that is severe pruning even more than the Serena way...it's like one/third of its original size, hee-hee! Something which I have done before...but man, I never thought you'd prune it down that much! I thought I was the only one doing that major of a lopping off... But it does like very aerated and well spaced and since your Platinum is growing so vigorously I am sure it will still end up being quite the giant...especially with all the goodies that you keep feeding your roses with. My roses are bushy monsters right now so you would definitely be hacking them down, but I just let them overgrow themselves and only hack the top parts off... I figure 1st year roses I'll just let them become one massive forest...They're so dense right now, I'd have no idea where to begin! boy, I'm such a chicken-lazy one... I hate to lose that wonderful bushiness and have let my roses become fat, wide and massive...

Middle of the third week of renovation and the tiling is nearly finished. They are doing beautiful work and I'm very impressed with the care they are taking. Vents had to be moved. Walls taken down, total reworking of the electric, adding additional lines for a second sink, moved the toilet to the left a few inches so it would line up with the center of the window, moved the shower drain .... I could go on with the list. Four township inspections just to get to the tiling stage! They're working 6 days a week. I'm very pleased with the selections I've made with the tile, granite, and other finishes. Last thing I'm trying to nail down is a window treatment. No rush there.

For a nice chuckle, if not all-out hilarity, go over to the GardenWeb, to the Amaryllis/Hippaestrum Forum, and scroll to the thread entitled: "Amaryllis Selection and Planting". Sorry, can't make the link work. Maybe someone else could? These are the nicest people, oohing and ahhing over each others' buds and scapes, even the most pathetic ones. Which I totally understand, as forcing amaryllis bulbs is a major interest for me every winter into spring. It's a cute thread, although it does devolve into creepy-crawl-ly stories.

Does your spouse work from home (interesting detail from Sue B's post)
Q
Comments (10)
We've worked for ourselves for over 40 years. DH works from home and his truck (it stays a mess!) At one time we owned two large office buildings, so we had an office there to give him a place to go during the day. I stopped going when we moved out (took almost an hour to get there, another back). So I've been totally working from home all this time (with the exception of going into the office for a few years). He does all the legwork (checking on our commercial real estate properties, leasing, dealings with tenants, problems) and I do all the paperwork (leases, accounting, increases, etc). I've worked all morning (end of month, first of month) at the kitchen table, in my pajamas. Dogs at my feet. Cats on my paperwork. Can't beat that, especially since it's raining today. DH leaves daily, although he doesn't need to. He likes to work. He's gone by 4am. Walks, swims, showers. Checks on properties Usually goes to grocery store on way home, and is back here by 10. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. We are slowly retiring, and should be fully retired by 2020. DH would like to travel more. Me? I'd rather stay at home. The only problem is as soon as he comes in the door, the TV is turned on. I like quiet. Especially when I first wake up... okay, all morning! He can't hear as well, so it's too loud for me. I think he gets bored sometimes, so we are trying to decided between pool or no pool, so he can entertain himself a few times a day. Working from home has always allowed us to make our own schedules. Taking time off for traveling is easy. When our parents were all living, it was extremely helpful. I think it is seen by some (one friend in particular) as being cushy, not much to do, we don't work our a$$es off. Maybe not as many hours as she and her DH (both residential RE agents) do, but we are always in working mode. It never fails on the way out of town or while traveling, we get phone calls. All times of the day. Not to mention, not being able to turn off our minds sometimes.

There is a series on Netflix, How to Build a [intimate] Room. The most salacious home decorating show you'll watch this week. I guess I should be embarrassed to have watched it when it came out, but I'm not. Started it out of idle curiosity, kept watching because the star/designer was fun to watch. She was a big fan of [intimate] furniture. Among other things.

I think I saw a list of pros and cons and one of the cons was the lack of built-in straps and handcuffs. Perhaps these would be used for the purpose of holding on. Perhaps not...

Well, I had no idea. I just thought it was a piece of ugly furniture, like something you'd put in the basement for the kids to lounge on while gaming. (And depending on the age of the kids, this could make them VERY happy indeed, I now see.)

I thought I once saw one that hadd-rings in various places that you could loop restraints through. For the record, I am just a curious sort who found the concept intriguing. Alas, I am also the frugal sort who's desire would be inhibited by the thought of how much I spent on such a piece of furniture.

I remember reading a letter to the Savage Love advice column from a woman who was executor of her uncle's estate, and had found a full dungeon in his basement, with a cage if I remember right. She needed advice on what could be sold, is there a market for it, and where do you find buyers.

I was not understanding the Yoga Chaise thing until I did a Google image search "yoga chaise positions" and found out how one was supposed to sit in it. At first I thought the humor in that thread was supposed to be in the spelling and grammar errors in the posts.

I was very surprised to find that some come equipped with handcuffs and ankle restraints!

I kept thinking it was the reference to adding the sliding door. I couldn’t see how a sliding door would work with the current furniture arrangement and door size and placement nearly in the corner of that wall. .

Yesterday I actually had my comment “ready to go” with photos - and hesitated hitting ”submit” for a few seconds - wondering if I might be reported - and have my post removed, or maybe even ”scolded”/or put in ”time out” by some moderator.

I decided to go ahead and hit the button because at least this post was a fun one - unlike when an OP tattled on me for ”bullying” her because I provided some free legal insights that she needed in order to prevent being potentially sued by someone related to an unsafe issue in her kitchen.

@ilikefriday - Challenge accepted! (not sure if your a HIMYM fan). I need to go back to my pink bathroom post anyway in order to post some paint colors - at some point in that thread, I will figure out a way to display this somewhere!

@Oakley - that was the problem - I was on his Amazon account - and didn’t switch before browsing! 😳

@bpath - I think it has ”free returns” - but I sure hope they don’t resell them under Amazon Warehouse! Oh - and I was swallowing a sip of water when I read your comment - and somehow when I laughed, I accidentally shot water out my nose!

I had to Google HIMYM. Still not sure I got the right thing. I'm slow. Does it stand for the sitcom How I Met Your Mother? If so, I have never seen it. Maybe there is a reference on your pink bathroom post? I will have to take a look. Can't wait to spot the pink rose😂.

@ilikefriday - yes, it’s from ”How I Met Your Mother” - Neil Patrick Harris’ character (Barney Stinson) will say ”Challenge accepted!” whenever someone proposes doing something that tends to be inappropriate.

It’s his character’s second most popular catch phrase.

https://youtu.be/4iOi_iPNC50 - link showing some of this on HIMYM (I think it started as having him simply accept a challenge - but then morphed into his catch phrase - ”Challenge accepted!”)

The above then started a ton of memes/gifs that used the ”challege accepted” catch phrase:

So - now I have to place my “little present” in a photo of my bathroom renovation once it’s finished - and post it on my pink bathroom thread!
