Country/small town. I need my space! That said, we just bought a house in the suburbs just outside a big city. Ah well, someday I'll get my trees back.

One year my sister asked for an identical twin sister. And we didn't even believe in Santa growing up. Apparently she didn't understand where sisters come from :-)

siri is good when you're in the car and looking for directions (for instance) and can't manually input anything.

No, I think you can be a country mouse even if you live near a city. I grew up on a cattle farm in a farm house and played in the woods all summer. We also went to school in a nearby small-to-mid-sized city. I still felt very much like I lived in the country. I understand that nothing can compare to the ranches out west, but that's really just the difference between living in New York or Columbus: both are cities, just different types. I am a country mouse at heart, and hopefully someday I can go back.

Personally, I wouldn't replace favorite games with digital ones. However, as with books, I like to have some hard copies and some digital ones. It could be nice to have a favorite game available in multiple formats for different experiences, just as its nice to read a real book sometimes, but I don't want to have to pack more than a kindle for a vacation.

I slept in a bunk bed from the time my sister was born till I went off to college, where, of course, I slept in more bunk beds. I slept on the top bunk at home and at school, and I don't think I ever fell out while sleeping (when I was little I climbed up the end so I could reach the ceiling fan pull, bonked myself on the head with the fan and fell. So I wouldn't recommend fans in bunk bed rooms). I shared a room with both of my sisters all of my life, and it made the college transition extremely easy. All of a sudden I only had one roomie! We had two bunk beds in our room in HS, one with two beds, and one with a top bunk over a futon. It worked wonderfully for us, and I'm sure I'll use bunk beds for my own kiddos someday.

I'm sorry, if a man isn't willing to make his money our money, I doubt he's willing to make his life our life. I couldn't live with that.

My parents handed us sharpies right before they gutted the kitchen, and let us doodle on the floor :-)

We've always had shoes off at our house, but it was never a "policy" except in the winter. Which, in Michigan I suppose is most of the time. But in the winter not only do people wear big clunky boots, they tend to track wet snow and slush and mud in that the stockinged-feet people always manage to step in. Not plesant. So, I don't think I would ask anyone to remove their shoes unless I could see that they were wet (or would damage my floors...), and then I have slippers or socks if they need them.

tour please!
