I look more rad than Lutheranism

I’ve had bedrooms with a door to the outside, didn’t bother me

It freaks me out because it's like -- if you let your hand hang over the edge of the bed, the boogeyman under the bed is going to get your hand, right? Well, a whole door to the outside is basically an invitation for the boogeyman and all his monster friends to come on in and get your hands.

I'm totally aware this is irrational. But I'm also not inviting the boogeyman in, y'all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Understandable!

When I was a kid I made my peace with the thought that if someone really wanted in my house there was nothing I could do about so I should just go to sleep and the relative security of doors and windows rarely bothers me. Dangling feet off the bed is just unnecessary risk.

Ha, ha, ha! At times, when my anxiety was not very well controlled, I would set up traps and nosiemakers on the way to my bedroom... for the hordes of people waiting for sundown to break in every day. My defenses worked -- no one has dared so far, knock wood.

Our wings are not tired.

It’s in a great location! Perfect for someone not into cooking

Not having a fully functional kitchen is a deal-breaker for me. The outside door location doesn't matter to me. I've never locked my doors so not really ever worried about intruders. I've also had large dogs all my life, so that might be a factor there. Under the bed monsters are another matter altogether.

Pete Rose owned a couple of restaurants and homes here and was widely reputed to be a horrible human being. Baseball player, on the other hand, he was amazing. As they say, it's complicated.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I saw that! I sure want to see him go to the Hall of Fame.

I thought of you immediately.

Y'all are not seeing the potential in that kitchen. I already have a countertop oven and a free standing induction burner. not to mention the sous vide set up, instant pot, electric griddle, and crock pot. With the right furniture that whole living room is a kitchen
