After 25 years in a family home, thinking of preparing this unconventional 10 room, 2 bath house to sell in hopes of finding a smaller, more picturesque home.
Intro
I entered middle age a few years ago...okay, a little more than a few. Our daughters are 28 and 26. After they left, I cautiously redecorated their bedrooms. I did the usual, donated "Lucky" brand jeans (left from 3rd grade) and stuffed animals to a local thrift store. Next, I threw away countless plastic bags from "The Gap" and other retailers. Some of them included various amounts of change, which of course I took as my housekeeping fee. Every $6.40 helps!
I slowly bought new furniture items that I liked - a futon and frame, small roll-top desk, area rugs and lamps. One room was starting to resemble my new "office" which would double as a guest room when necessary. One morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I heard (and felt) a very large boom-crash. I cautiously walked upstairs to find the dust clearing and about half of the ceiling of my new room on the floor. Ah, the joys of owning an antique house...

Men's Underwear blog...really?
Tonight, I decided to just hit the "next blog" spot at the top of the screen. I've done this before and usually I run into religious family blogs from white-bread, conservative Americans with many children, or I end up with a bunch in foreign language blogs that ask if I want to translate. With that track record, I just got out of the habit of freefalling into blogville. Tonight, I stumbled upon 5 or 6 pretty interesting entries that I actually explored and enjoyed, then all of a sudden I was seeing some foreign language with symbols I did not recognize. "Do you want to translate?" No thank you, life's too short. I have enough trouble keeping up with English. When I clicked "next blog." I was at once greeted by photos of men in their underpants. The title was, Men's Underwear Blog - (subtitle) "Your number one source for underwear news and information." Why does such a thing exist? These were not entirely unattractive men, but I felt I should avert my eyes. The styles were positively unappealing to me. I really don't care for bright yellow or orange briefs (and I mean really brief). I'd much rather look at an average gym-going guy (not overly ripped), wearing a nice pair of cotton boxers. Just my opinion - maybe it's time for hormone replacement therapy.
