Can we add to any of these sites? (photos, recipes, etc..) I think the person that started the websites could add or change things... but I know it is very time consuming to do so. The ebay sellers site was started by Maryann. At least one of the photo pages was started by Koda. The Empty Chair site is Jodi's.

What a fun "memory lane" to travel. I went to Europe the summer before my last semester in college. Several people in our group thought they were foot washers! I grew up in a small town in South Texas. When some people built a house that had a bidet in the master bath, it was the talk of the town. I think it is still the only one in town.

My standing joke is that I've never lived with a guy, as defined above where guy=leaving things dropped or placed in wrong spots all over the house. I married a man who is neat as a pin which is a mixed blessing for someone who is also neat as a pin, because our children grew up in a bizarrely tidy and organized home. Have never seen him even leave a sock out, much less all the stuff in these pictures :). Actually it made the shock that much greater when I gave birth to a darling male child who grew into a guy! My daughter still laughs about how I always, every-single-time, made him pick up the shoes he tried to leave next to the back door and take them into his room-and where he got that idea I cannot fathom since he NEVER saw any one else do it. He lives with his fiancée now who says he is indeed a clothes dropper. She told me he can open the front door in full uniform (he's a law enforcement officer with the NPS) and in less than 30 seconds be in the kitchen which is ~ 30 feet away wearing only his boxers LOL.

I think I've lurked around on Houzz for a couple of years. About a year or so ago, I found my way over to the Garden Web side and have been addicted...not so much about Gardening necessarily, but then discovered the various forums - which seem impossible to find now. I live in North Carolina with my husband and son. We are about to be "true" empty nesters as our son will be moving into his first "real" apartment (i.e., not college) next month. I only post occasionally and have recently gotten the courage up to post comments.
