State College is "very large?" I don't think it took into account any of my answers. I've been to State College; I have friends and family who have attended. It's a lovely college town but not a place for me.

Sadly, not much.
Too quiet makes it worse, so I need some noise, like music. And I need just enough light to see if I wake up (if I get to sleep) in the middle of the night, as I get disoriented.
If I have any kind of worry or stress, it's worse.
My biggest issue is that my head never shuts off, and yes, I've tried yoga, meditation, and probably everything else.
I guess it's good that I can function on little or no sleep, and this has been true since I was a toddler.

leslie_g, I do find that, for some things, like my preferred brand of kitty litter or my Dove Clinical Protection, Target is cheaper than the grocery store, even ShopRite, but you are correct about most of it.

I wear what fits me and what I like. Personally, I don't care what's trendy. If it looks good on me and it fits properly, why shouldn't I wear i? I look a hell of a lot better and feel better than trying to keep up with ridiculous fashion rules.
Anything that doesn't fit this criteria (and I'm hard to fit, as I'm over 6' and have huge feet, obviously) gets donated if I can manage it.

Ros, why do people hate radiators so much? Granted, I prefer avoiding hot air for heat completely (I think the vents are way uglier than radiators, personally, and they are unbelievably unhealthy. Hot water/steam heat is so much healthier, efficient (if working properly), and does not spread dust), but I don't think that particular hot air radiator is that bad.

What do you do to your Macs? I have a four year old MacBook Pro as my main machine, a twelve year old PowerBook, and an 11 year old PowerMac. I have never heard of this happening with anyone, and I know and know of a lot of people with Macs.

The taking off shoes in other people's houses generally isn't a thing in my experience in the northeast, but some people have that policy.
Personally, if people want to subject themselves to shoes inside, that's fine with me, but if I have an option, I will be barefoot. In fact, my shoes come off before my coat.
My current season shoes are in a closet on the first floor and my off-season shoes are upstairs, but that's really only for space issues.
I don't understand keeping your shoes in your bedroom closet (unless you live on one floor - when I lived in my condo, I walked to my walk-in closet and took off my shoes and then hung up my coat in the entryway if it wasn't one of my daily shoes already in the entry closet). I won't walk up to the third floor to take off shoes and then come back downstairs. I'm lazy that way.

Do people not own shoes (I hate shoes. I am all about coats, myself, but I still have quite a few pairs as needed for snow, rain, yard work, hiking, biking, work, etc.)? Do people not have topcoats and long coats and capes? What about scarves, hats, mittens, gloves, and boots?
These are lovely; they are just not practical for my northeast US life. Also, we are tall, which complicates things more (with regard to height of placement of hooks and rods).
Also, I only keep off-season shoes upstairs; my bedroom is on the third floor.

These may work for someone with occasional insomnia, but I have had insomnia since I was a toddler (not exaggerating). If I don't have music, I will never get to sleep. I have had about three hours total since Friday, and that is pretty good for me. I will try the blue thing, thanks.

It's really lovely. Well done.
