WI GIRL56

I liked the New Jersey couple. And the projects that she wants to do could be done at her leisure. It was not necessary for their immediate comfort. I thought they picked the best house to meet their needs.

Last year in Alaska we stayed in a cottage that had a communal breakfast in the owner's home. They had a few large tables and some smaller ones. Everyone was fully dressed. We enjoyed talking to everyone and finding out their stories. I am glad that more B&Bs offer private bathrooms. I would never consider having to share a bathroom with strangers. And the fact that I get up 2-3 times a night to use it.

Adrian was on again last night. I adore her. She was helping a 40 yr old move from Tampa to Paris. The client was so low key almost timid. Adrian kept steering her out of her desired neighborhood, Marais. Even though the layout was different I liked the apartment she rented.

I looked up the B&B couple and they took ownership in October. I thought they were all nice but loved the one they picked. Ever since Newhart I have dreamed of a B&B.

My Dad was a building inspector for Chicago from 1954-1985. This does me proud.

I liked the Australian episode. She had a great personality. I figured they would go with #2 and she could add her touches. Sad about his mom she looked so young.

I never understood when people want open concept so they can see everyone when they are cooking. Maybe it's our lifestyle but we get home from work. Prep something like fish or chicken, toss it in the oven and watch some television or catch up on mail. Back in the kitchen and make a side or salad to go with dinner. Eat, clean kitchen and go downstairs and watch television. All these people act like they are preparing 7 course meals every night for dinner. I prefer to spend the least amount of time in the kitchen as possible.

Ithaca baker. I told my DH if she says Cameron one more time I will hurl. Also she wanted to be in the kitchen and watch him. Right, he is an almost teen-ager and just like they showed him at the end he is going to spend time in his room. Her voice also grated on me. Although her cakes looked delicious. Not sure how long her clients are staying at her house but if it was me I would not be asking to use the bathroom unless I was there for about 4 hours or drinking too much.

When we built our house 11 years ago the laundry room was on the upper level in a closet near the bedrooms. We lasted about 6 months before we moved it to the lower level. The amount of moisture it was throwing out was causing mold to form in our bedrooms. The area was not ventilated enough for a washer. Nary a problem with mold since we moved it. It is in a downstairs office but there are windows and bigger area. The bedroom next door to it does not have any mold.

Dubai. She was driving me crazy with the girls not sharing a room. The younger two looked to be close in age. That is weird about the doc being investigated. He seemed like a good guy. Talking about his mom having 6 kids and they shared rooms. And her answer was ask your mom if it was stressful? I shared a bed with my younger sister until I was a junior in high school. Didn't think anything of it. Hubby grew up in a 3 bedroom house. It was just him and his brother and they shared 1 bedroom and had twin beds. I think back in the 60s parents thought kids sharing room fostered their relationship. Plus we used our room for sleeping and getting ready for school. And maybe when we were older if the extension cord reached to talk on the phone. Kids now spend all their free time in their rooms on their personal phones watching tv.

I agree and I think being around her 24/7 could be hard. He seemed so nice and was willing to do anything for her. I hate when people worry about entertaining. I don't entertain now but when we were 1st married everyone got together at people's apartments. No one worried about everyone sitting down. Of course this was 43 yrs ago but still. If someone invites me over I am happy to see them and not worried about sitting at a table. Of course all those dogs would drive my nuts.

I felt sorry for the soon to be MN husband. She was annoying. Each child needs their own bedroom. I was wondering if his boys even lived with them full-time or do they also spend time with mom. Agree she needed to size up her wardrobe. Not flattering at all. I thought they would pick the last house since it had the 5 bedrooms she needed.

St. Louis woman was interesting. I did not think she would take the attached house. I thought the 2nd so she could fix it the way she wanted.

We were also a family of 6 growing up. We had 1 bathroom, no shower just a tub. Small sink. We also had a tiny 1/2 bath on the 1st floor. We also managed to get ready for school and out the door. I think in high school I did my hair and make-up in the bedroom I shared with my sister. We took baths at night.

I was also disappointed in not knowing the Chicago neighborhoods. I thought maybe the bungalow in the suburbs was either Berwyn or Cicero. They have a lot and a little lower priced. Hubby grew up in a Chicago bungalow that is grandfather built. The living room was large but everything else was small. After it was sold I think the people dormered up to gain space.

I got all the Mississippi River clues. I grew up in Illinois and now live in Wisconsin. I have driven the Great River Road many times. I also had final jeopardy and to my husband's amazement ran the tool category too.

And the patrons in the bar were being so polite. That was awful. Not sure if he picked a different genre if his voice would have sounded better. He also wanted 2.5 people in the shower not sure 2 people are fitting in his bed. I was shocked apartments were so reasonable in Nice.

I was disappointed in the Chicago episode that there was no voice over. I am from there originally and love to know where they are. I was thinking the parents were in Edison Park. And they were either in Jefferson or Portage Park (where my hubby grew up in a bungalow his grandpa built). I was trying to see if his parents had the double ovens but couldn't. We have one oven and either grill the turkey or put it in a Nesco. Also in a bungalow unless they gut it bathrooms are tiny.

So glad she didn't buy the place in Lincoln Park. I liked it and was glad she didn't ruin that one. Again nothing new with her design. And it is not anywhere near being an A-frame. She is really stuck in a certain design mind set and will not change.

The 1st home we bought in Chicago after we were married 40 years ago was 100 years old. We preserved all the original woodwork and doors. It is what added character to the house. I am always sick when she pulls all the woodwork off. How sad . These modern finishes do nothing for me.

Awful disease that hit my family hard. My Mom died 3 1/2 weeks after being diagnosed. Her sister lived about 2 1/2 years and my brother in law lived 2 years and he was Stage 3. No words how sad I feel for Alex.
