A personal question - how bare do you go?
Comments (140)This may send this thread into a whole other topic, but (and this is just my opinion!) I think oral sex is much more common now than ever before. Not to say it hasn't been done forever, but I think there's a trend for kids to want to say they're virgins when they're married, and they don't think of oral sex as losing their virginity...thus there's much more attention paid to that area with a razor/wax/whatever. It's getting more "face time" (HAHA!). When I talk to my kids about sex, they say that's what "most kids" are doing, oral sex, not intercourse. Just a theory. For the record, I think it's much more common for a guy to "manscape" than ever before. In my circle of friends, the women generally prefer to groom themselves with a "landing stip." I'm in my mid-forties....See MoreSettee vs. sofa?
Comments (8)Hi Harriethomeowner. That's not an unattractive loveseat, but in a living room--which is, ironically, often the least-used room in houses nowadays--comfort is the primary consideration, and there's no way I'd ditch a full size, nap-friendly sofa for a dinky little settee or loveseat, no matter how pretty it might look in the store on some website. People with big ol' honking great rooms or media rooms often say that since no one ever uses their TV-deprived living rooms anyway, they just use them for show, and that comfort is therefore not an issue. Call me out of the loop, but I can't think of anything sillier than creating a room that you know right from the getgo is uncomfortable. Maybe those folks should ask themselves if that discomfort level is not why no one ever uses those rooms, instead of the other way around. When I see a vacant desert of a room like that--and I see a lot of them these days--I see a textbook case of cause-&-effect, and I rememeber the grim, stiff parlors of the old days. I mean there was a reason they used those rooms for funerals. But like they say, those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them. And if this room, unlike so many others, isn't a superfluous vestigial space in a supersized house, but, rather, a real room that you actually use--and that's what its current comfy look says to me--then all the above goes double. If your LR ain't broke, don't fix it. Do I love the current upholstery? Not really, but in a room this relaxed & friendly-looking, I could live with it (especially if I painted the walls something compatible with said upholstery, something other than their current bland color, which, rather than lightening up the room, simply makes everything else in the room look dark & muddy) although I might consider re-upholstering your existing pieces, if the fabric's showing wear (and with a bunch of cats roaming around, it probably is) or if you're just simply looking for a new look. OK, Question 2: can you have too many legs? Sure you can. That's why upholstery shops often add skirts when they reupholster, so rooms don't start looking like Leg City. But since, just as with human bodies, all chairs are not born equal, some chairs need skirts while other chairs look great bare-legged. There is no one answer that applies to everyone. Or every chair. But as far as the matching-woods bit goes--or matching fabrics, for that matter--forget it. Life's hard enough without worrying about inconsequential stuff like that. Here's my living room, with its down-cushioned sofa just the right size for a long winter's nap, and its hodge-podge of faded fabics & unfashionable colors and its mismatched woods. You know what I say about all that? Oh, well. If people don't like the magpie look, they don't have to come back. But you know what? They do. Over & over. I must be doing something right, but it sure isn't buying stuff out of catalogs & it isn't matching up my colors. No, if you ask me, all your welcoming room really needs is a new paint job, some colored or opaque paper shades to create interesting patterns on the walls & some light-colored touches here & there. What it doesn't need--not with those cats--is solid color fabrics. Not pale ones, anyway. And not velvet. But you've got the main thing--the comfort--down just fine. Which means you're already way ahead of a lot of people. Regards, MAGNAVERDE....See MoreIs the trend still no pantyhose?
Comments (33)Unless it is summer and I'm wearing a sundress or casual dress, I wear them. This is MN and we are often cold--nothing worse than having cold legs at work, church, or an event. Needless to say we are also not as fashion-forward as other areas of the country. They are practical here. I do try to find very silky, good quality pantyhose for that Kate Middleton look. I think they can look lovely and polished with a nice dress. My aging legs are happy with them!...See MoreChicken vs Turkey broth
Comments (29)We buy turkey often. I think it has more flavor than chicken, so buy it whenever I can find it. Usually thighs or legs. But I am not a great fan of chicken - especially not white meat. I think it is so bland it takes work to make it taste like anything. I took a trip to Morocco 4 years ago. On the menu everywhere was what amount to a national dish, tagine. On most menus it was listed as chicken tagine (occasionally, lamb was offered). I ordered and ate it many times. Something about it tasted not quite right. I thought it was the lemon and other spices. Then close to the end of the trip a chicken tagine cooking class at our hotel was part of the itinerary. Tour members showed up to the restaurant kitchen. All ingredients were already cut up for us and on big platters running down the center of the work surface. I took one look at the "chicken" and realized it was turkey. I asked the other women and they agreed it was turkey. The chef came in and I asked, "So the recipe has been changed to Turkey Tagine?" He said, "No, it's still going to be chicken." I explained that the meat I saw was turkey. The other people on my tour also spoke up and said it was turkey. He insisted it was chicken. Oh, well, I thought, maybe their chicken meat LOOKS like turkey meat. Since it was already cut up in cubes, could I really be sure? Maybe it's free range or they are fed something different. So we all made our tagines and sat down to a group meal. Unanimous among our group: it was turkey. We talked it over and realized why what we had been eating so far didn't taste like chicken: we'd been eating turkey all along. It was semantics, I guessed. Some people never ordered it again, saying they didn't like turkey. I have made tagine several times since at home, and intentionally have always used turkey....See Morejcrowley99
