Sometimes I think a little introspection is good; you know, to think, is what I have believed I wanted really what I want.<br /><br />Hey Beatrice! yeah, I can't wait until the cabbages and broccoli are ready!<br /><br />Hey Jojo! those are all good ideas! The post is not necessarily referring to Jack or anyone in particular, it's just sort of a mix or issues I've run across.<br />Unfortunately, there is absolutely no room to bump the closet out and I could actually put a little more storage in the bath for a man's things.<br /><br />Hey NEw! You make a very good point and I think that's the key; if you want to make it work you can.<br /><br />Hey Anon-R! hey! you're back again! :) <br />Yeah, there are definitely a lot more issues as you get older and the I'm afraid I'm very paranoid on top of all that! lol!!<br /><br />Hey Jim! yes, your inner self being comfortable is the main thing!<br /><br />HEy FC! 'you never know'; I tell ya, that has become my life mantra after seeing many things occur that I never thought would!<br /><br />Hey Grenville! Very good points there!! :)<br /><br />Hey Barry! your Granny was a wise lady! yes, most people should rethink what they do and want these days.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-87440644424620306952011-02-24T07:02:03.200-06:002011-02-24T07:02:03.200-06:00Annie,

Sizes are mostly under 1000 sq.ft, one lady had one under 300 sq.ft. Ships them all over.<br /><br />Another show said average homes in 1950s was 950 sq.ft. or so, now it is 2400 sq.ft. with a 30 year mortgage.<br /><br />Maybe folks in america need to rethink what they really need rather than working for the man for 30 plus years just to pay off a big mortgage right before they retire.<br /><br />As my granny used to say...enough's a plenty!<br /><br />BarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-51004329094412710162011-02-23T21:06:01.104-06:002011-02-23T21:06:01.104-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-52375672701342483172011-02-23T21:02:15.957-06:002011-02-23T21:02:15.957-06:00Just two thoughts.

No, wait, I guess not because I did not build that fantastic house in Alabama, but otherwise I sure could have written it.<br /><br />The older I get, the more I see the benefits of having coupled up in one's twenties. You look great, "baggage" is minimal, you build stuff together, you don't know (or have) how much you have to lose, etc.<br /><br />Of course that's just "one half" of it..... (heh). Which is probably why I am single (was "too" independent; didn't want to marry wrong person for sake of not being alone; bristled at what young women were "supposed" to do, etc. etc.). Or maybe I just didn't meet the right person?<br /><br />Anyway, what you wrote today sure resonates.<br /><br />Anon-R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-89592343379382463282011-02-23T08:49:59.758-06:002011-02-23T08:49:59.758-06:00I have learned that a person can make about anypl...I have learned that a person can make about anyplace be a home that works if they want too. I have lived on a bench, a one room apartment with our first baby, to a large house for our a family of 6 kids. A person just has to make it work.

If the closet is a problem bump out a wall and make a walk in clothet easier than adding a big room. As for the bathroom well how much room does a man need in a bathroom?<br />If he has his own place maybe if he went home for a few days that would give you guys your space.<br /><br />Now these are just my opinions and really don't matter much as others go.

I agree with Ed's comment that when you give up worrying, things do seem to work out. BTW, I'm catching up on a couple days of blog reading and the broccoli and cabbage are looking darn near good enough to eat (almost). Grenville's still have a way to go in the greenhouse. Those freebies were great!Beatrice P.

Then one day I gave up and quit wondering about those questions. Funny thing is that after I gave up, all the answers became clear.<br /><br />My advice is to not worry about such things. The answer will become clear in time.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-76767150307535623442011-02-23T05:30:58.092-06:002011-02-23T05:30:58.092-06:00Nice metaphor.
