Odd Thing In Your Home

#1 Postby Janice » Thu Mar 23, 2006 3:40 pm

What is one odd thing about or in your home that would seem strange to anyone else.

Me.... we have never owned or used an alarm clock. My husband keeps his own hours so he goes in when he wakes up. I do not work. My husband has always been able to get up when he needs to. If we have an emergency, he has a friend call us. We should get one tho.

Wow, how do you keep them clean and dustproof? That would not freak me out. I have seen bear rugs in homes.

I find this odd...we're in an almost brand new home , very large, sought after community...3 car garage....and the builder/buyer chose to NOT put in any garage door openers....we have to get out and physically open the garage doors....how dumb is that....

sometimes we sit in our car in the driveway, and listen to the neighbors garage doors go up and down, realizing they that are just taunting us....

Just Kidding.

Bunches of swords hanging on the living room wall that reflect my year-round Halloween cauldron lights :)

Hmmmmmmmmmm

What's different about my FEMA trailer than others????? Well mine is fresh off the assembly line and you can still smell the formaldehyde the used in the wood and glue, some FEMA trailers are nice and have slide outs like the man next to us has 2 slide outs and a King Sized bed with a Slide out in the bedroom....ours has a bedroom you can barely walk around the queen sized bed and the on the other end is 2 bunk beds that are 1/4 open, just barely enough to slip into and the rest is the back part of the bathroom wall. The commode is directly opposite the "tub" which is about 2" X 2" and your knees hit the tub if you sit on the pot straight and I'm only 5'2" with short legs oh and the Table and Couch are directly across from each other...about 1 feet between you have to walk side wides to go to the bathroom. ...... ... ... .... ..... hahahahhahaaha

Before Katrina when we had a house we had a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen/den area, the funny thing was when they changed the roof....there was nothing there but decking and shingles....no insulation, nothing, the wire for the ceiling fan and light ran under the shingles...who ever heard of such!! We also had built in curio cabinets with glass doors and built in linen closets in all three bathrooms...big ones! The master bedroom had its own bath with a full 12' closet and the bedroom had one the same size! That and my huge kitchen is what made me love my house and the 5 full length glass windows across the front of the house in the Formal Living Room/Dinning Room with a fireplace!!!

A stuffed antelope head. I stalked the animal for 1/2 hour and when the game warden stopped to check my tag, he measured the horns, I missed the state record by 1/4" on the left horn.......
