That picture really disturbs me.

Wow, talk about a desktop computer. That's absolutely marvelous.

I didn't really expect anyone else to agree with me.

I just think it's a bit out of bounds to take pictures over someone's fence. The fence is obviously there for a reason, privacy probably being a top contributing factor.

For the record, I have a cute little vegetable garden in my back yard. I wouldn't be surprised if it were the sort of thing someone would make a post here about. But I really don't like the idea of someone intruding upon my space, without my permission, and taking a picture of it. I don't think the fact that my peas might someday peek over the top of the fence gives anyone the right to take pictures over the fence.

Who knows, maybe the owner/s of the home genuinely wouldn't mind, or would even be flattered, but I don't think it's right to take pictures over fences without permission. Personally, I'd be fine with showing a passerby into my garden to have a look if they asked, and I'd allow them to take pictures as long as they let me know where they'd end up.

Wow, way to be incredibly creepy. I hope people aren't hanging over my fencing and snapping shots.

Leela - I can't believe you leave centipedes alone. Those, and millipedes, are the only insects that I absolutely can't stand. I am so irrationally afraid of them. Just looking at a picture makes my skin crawl.

My mother got bit by a brown recluse spider. She saw it, but wasn't able to catch or kill it before it scampered off. The skin around the bite began to rot away, and my mom eventually realized she had to go to the hospital. We live in New York, so it's not like we're used to brown recluse spiders. The doctor at the hospital wouldn't believe her description of the spider because "There aren't any brown recluse spiders in New York!" and kept trying to treat her for Lyme disease. We all thought that was pretty ridiculous, because I've had Lyme disease about ten times and my siblings have all gotten it more then once, and never once did the area around the tick bites rot away. Moronic doctor. We've compared the pictures of her bite to pictures of brown recluse spider bites on the internet, and we're fairly certain that she was, indeed, bitten by a brown recluse.

We later found out that it's a pretty widely accepted theory that brown recluse spiders get transported to places like New York with shipments of food and stuff like that. There have been other reports of brown recluse spiders in our area, we even have a friend who caught one in his back yard. He sent it to some establishment that deals with poisonous animals, and they confirmed that it was a brown recluse.

If being fed up with irresponsible people who are NEVER on time makes me a self-righteous jerk, then I'm guilty as charged.

Any spiders in my house that don't promptly set up a web in some corner get eaten by the cats. Maybe that's why I've never found any in the shower.

But if they're out of the way doing their own thing I leave them alone. If the cats eat them, they eat them. I may be a vegan, but I'm not against letting nature take its course, haha.

I don't get people who are chronically late. Find out how long your morning routine takes and set your alarm clock appropriately. If you're meeting someone for lunch or something like that, give yourself fifteen minuets to a half an hour extra time to get there, depending on how long it normally takes to get there and how bad traffic is where you live. It's much better to be early then to be late.

There are much better ways to incorporate a clock into a bathroom then to stick it in the sink. This one doesn't look easy enough to read at a glance. You should be able to see the clock from almost any position in the room, and it should be easy to read. Hang one on the wall or put it on a shelf. This drain stopper clock doesn't seem very practical to me.

I would be so content living in a house exactly like that. It's beautiful and has all the necessities.

Wow, where to start?

Some parts of this house looked very pretty. The California-style bedroom and the kitchen were very nice, and I can imagine a normal person having rooms like that in their house. Some aspects of even the "normal" places, though, seemed like overkill. A huge stove flown in from France that took ten men to move? Come on.

Other parts of it made my jaw drop. The salon (uh, a salon?), the entry hall and the landing with the grand staircase looked so rich and stately. They reminded me of olden times, when royalty used tax money to make their castles and mansions extravagant at the expense of their subjects.

All the other parts I didn't mention above were just not in my taste. Overall, I can appreciate and ogle some parts of the house, but I can't imagine living in such a large home.
