Thanks for the reminder that we need to trust in each other. I am usually happy to help people but rarely ask for help myself because, like BlueTansey, I fear being judged as a freeloader. It's a foolish way to live because it is so isolated and closed off. Learning how to be part of a community even in our individual travels through life is more valuable than any possession we could carry with us.

Some of these are actual entry ways. I have a house where you open the front door directly into the middle of the living room. We split the living area in half so that there is a couch and two chairs on one side and a dining table on the other, but the dining table just becomes the landing strip/junk pile. I have yet to see any solutions that actually work here. We do have coat hooks in the stairwell across the room, so that helps but the mail is always a mess. Frankly, I have never understood how anyone designed an efficient living room set up with a door that opens into the middle of the living room.
