    I heard the new home fashion trend is hardwood floors. But if you were around in the 70’s you’re probably more familiar shag carpet.

    Ah, memories of my bedroom as a teenager. Orange shag carpet with mustard yellow, orange and black walls with geometric designs (some even going across the ceiling). I'm sure my parents were cussing me when they had to repaint it after I moved away from home. :):

    Years ago, when my kids were young, we were shopping for carpet. We drove by the hip hugger, and I said, "we can get carpet there". My wife said, "um, no thank you." My youngest daughter asks, "do they have used carpet there?" I said, "yes, they do." She replies, "I'll bet their carpet is nasty!"

    I've know your wife and it is a wonder you can walk after passing that place (No shagging way).

    I also am without adult supervision but only for today and most of tomorrow. The wife is off on a Well Armed Woman weekend retreat shooting up a slew of 9mm ammo. Fortunately, she passed the training and now loads her own. I don't know what to do next. Laundry or dishes.

    My wife has been wanting to go to Florida to visit her sister & family. I've kinda been putting it off on account of the kids...they are plenty old enough to stay home (21 & 19) but not sure my house would be standing when I get home. However, you fellas have given me some ideas. Now if I can figure out sending all 3 for a long past due visit..I reckon I could use the "I can't get off work" excuse. I have some plotting to do

    Near the big river.
    Its a love hate relationship I have with those nights alone. When the wife takes the kids to visit out of state friends, On the one hand I get to eat some of my favorite foods that nobody else in the house will eat, (like hamburger gravy over boiled potato wedges) but at the same time I get bored and miss them. It helps remind me that I dont know what I would do with myself if anything happened to them. (and renews my thankfulness for them)

    Ditto, raised 3 daughters. Sometimes I really wanted a little peace and quiet. When they were gone it didn't feel right.
    Grown up, with kids of their own now. Grandkids are awesome!!

    The sales staff is very customer service oriented there.

    I for one expected a short trip, I at least hoped so.

    We went around 30 years with less than ten days separation for short trips. The last few years my wife has gone off gallivanting with her sisters a week at a time.

    The first time was very difficult for me and I slept on my side of the bed.

    Is “hip hugger” a term for strip club?

    assuming it is... you’re showing your age if you think there’s any carpet there anymore. Probably all lineoleum or tile with a mix of of hardwood
