MsDonnaGirl, I only have to clean my car every now and then too. I have no kids (so backseat is never dirty) no animals, and I live in a mild climate so no snow, not too much rain, etc. Again, it's the readers list for herself.

the carbon footprint info means that the artificial tree footprint is so HIGH that it would take 20 years of using it to equal the carbon footprint of 20 years of real trees

yes?

Cally, speaking of wasting water "just so you can waste gas and time mowing..." I just moved to Dallas from the East Coast and the guy that cuts our lawn recently asked us if we wanted to plant "winter seed" for the grass. When we asked why he said it was to keep the grass green all winter. Are these people CRAZY?!? Now I'm supposed to have green grass all winter long? When we said "NO" he told us we should probably let our neighbors know that we will not be doing it and will not have pretty green grass like theirs. Sometimes I feel like I have lost my mind here!!

Thanks for this thread!

Wow. What a great list. Thanks for finding!!

I recently had a house warming party and in one of the spare bedrooms that didn't have much to mess up, I set up the TV and the kids that were over enjoyed a movie together. They must not have come out of that room for nearly three hours. After that, it was time for dinner anyway. I don't have kids myself and I don't think that it's too hard to keep them entertained, no matter the age.

Also, it's not that some of these people value things over their company... it's just the simple fact that NOT having kids allows you to have a different lifestyle. I mean, even when we got a dog a friend told us to walk on our hands and knees around the house to see what could possibly be entertaining... and it was a lot! That stuff was only there because we didn't have to worry before. It's not placed there because I value it over you. Plain and simple!
