There's one in San Francisoc too. I worked there. If you want to visit the west coast.

It's funny, because the era of Latckey kids was my generation, and I was one of those. There are pitfalls and benefit. If yourkid is ready, there is no reason to keep them trapped by perceived childhood. It's not adult to travel. It's human. You either have a pretty good sense of self in the world or not. I know grown women who are scared to navigate a city on public transit. So I guess if your kid is ready, let them go. I was and nothing happened that did not make me wiser and stronger. Keeping a child a child does not mean keeping them from learning to navigate the world. Part of children's adventures are firsts. First time to ride a bus. First time to play third base. First time to get lost. Etc. Child safety is about prepping them too. Not just keeping them from stuff. I mean whether my kid takes the bus regularly or not, by God I hope I teach them enough to at least know how to get home if there was an emergency. Even at 9.

Congratulations. Looks like a fantastic community you all are building. Enjoy the new TV.

Pop culture is contained in waves traveling into boxes
One apartment at a time is cured but mine remains obnoxious
Technology eludes me and I need assistance to overcome
What started off as a contest has illuminated my life as a rerun
"What's Happening" is that "Good Times" only occur in the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"
They tell you "Press Your Luck" but that's all I ever came with
I tried to save for "This Old House" but it just needs a "Facelift"
"Debbie Travis" never comes to my apartment and there's no "Trading Spaces"
I have "24" reasons to make this "Prison Break" but I am "Lost" in the universe's "Divine Design"
There's no "Law and Order" to who will win this time
I continue to spin the "Wheel of Fortune", but it seems I'm never "Moving Up"
It's like I was stuck in Hell with the "Brothers” and their “Junk"
I believe in a "Home Made Simple" but my happiness is in "Jeopardy"
Then I dreamed I was "Touched by an Angel" in the form of Apartment Therapy
They helped me forge and new "Identity" by putting my old TV "Six Feet Under"
Now nothing can come between and no man bring asunder
This lonely girl’s “Felicity” is now captured on a Flickr page
Could you "Curb your Enthusiasm" if you had her "Happy Days"
She's got the Smallest Coolest - so what there's no "West Wing"
With the Insignia 37 inch LCD she feels like a "King of Queens"

Getting that Television would be a dream come true. It would improve my home in many ways.

1. As a single woman, the television is company for me a lot. I would feel like I was dating up which would enhance my self-esteem.

2. My sometimey boyfriend would probably propose if he came over and saw that sitting in my apartment. He is a home theatre kinda guy and when I entertain him here, he is just plain disappointed in any movie experience we embark on. I'm glad I can cook and have a decent enough personality or he might never visit me.

3. I would invite more people over and that would increase my overall happiness.

4. I would be able to donate the television I have to someone less fortunate, and that would make me proud.

5. I would be able to concentrate funds for future home improvements toward a new sofa and get rid of the uncomfortable eyesore in the photo.

I am currently curing a Junior 1 bedroom in LA which is approximately 450 square feet. I am a single woman working in government with limited resources. I have always believed that where I am today is home so I try to make the best of it. When I found Apartment Therapy, I found like minds whose goal is to do the same, make these often temporary spaces home, no matter the size or length of time we plan on being in them. My current home is a white box. But I've worked hard to bring interest and comfort to it and am curing again to pare down and make room for more social activity in my home. I have made several improvements, added fresh paint shelving, doorknobs and cabinet knobs and I recently purchased a dining table and started cooking meals at home again thanks to AT. My television is 20 inches and does not fit the console for a 38 inch that I bought for it a couple of years ago. I had the intention of buying an LCD but student loans an aging parent that needed assistance and other life happenings have put that on the back burner. I live in an apartment. I am worthy. I am an AT poster child. Please AT, make my dream come true.
