People please give us a break. Your home improvements are about as boring as hearing some middle aged guy talk about his retirement savings investments. What's with this whole "cocooning" thing anyhow? I thought only geeks bragged about staying at home........

Completely. I was in the middle of explaining to a friend about how I was thinking of taking out my fire place to free up more room in my living room area so I could swing my DLP tv across the couch, as opposed to in front of the window. My realtor, who suggested I put up glass blocking on my wall to cut noise but still let light through, provided me with the name of a different contractor since I wasn't happy with the one that redid my kitchen (added an island and took out a wall, long story). I was just about to explain that I had upped my international fund in my 401k and making big bucks that could perhaps afford me a new addition, when this guy starts talking about how his house burned down and he has had to live downtown for the past 3 months while his place was gutted. Does it get any more selfish than that? What a geek.

I hate listening to co workers talk about home improvements.It seems like time is standing still.The other problem that I have is I do it all the time too,but my improvements are much more interesting.

It takes entirely too much energy to hate,one persons aspirations are another's inspirations. Whats boring is probably you...perhaps you would like to have that kind of getup and go.

I love it when people talk about stuff like that! My bf and I just got our own home so we love hearing about the things we can do to it!!!! Maybe when you grow up, you'll feel that way too.

Yes.

I hate all these stupid *** shows such as Trading Spaces or While You Were Out on TLC when they could be showing shows on cool ****, like big machines or lemurs or asteroids.

why are you posting a statement with a question mark at the end?
