Really well thought out post, thanks for sharing

I believe this internet site has got some rattling great info for everyone. "The individual will always be a minority. If a man is in a minority of one, we lock him up." by Oliver Wendell Holmes.

I love my Pepsi One. Caffeine, no sugar, sweetened with Splenda...bliss

The slide is too cool. Potentially dangerous, but very cool.

Growing up, my mom seemed to paint everything blue. She has since moved on to more greens and earth tones, but I came a way with a dislike of blue. When we bought our house, the master bedroom was dark blue with cutesy Americana wallpaper border. That room was instantly repainted green (ahhh), but unfortunately, I don't have the money to redo the kitchen right now. We have country blue walls with a semi-interesting wallpaper border. Just repainting walls wouldn't be so bad, but they also painted the cabinet doors, and now they are all country blue and scuffed and chipped. So I could paint those, too, but we also have country blue laminate counter tops. With a big crack in the laminate no less. And a lovely backsplash of peel-and-stick vinyl tile. Now, my house isn't worth much. I'm not looking for a high-end kitchen, granite counter tops, or anything fancy (though I wouldn't say no), but I just want not blue. We may be moving soon, possibly, not sure, but if not, I hope to invest in the kitchen this summer and make it not blue.
