I live in southern Nevada and have desert landscaping with drought-tolerant plants. Another benefit of live plants is that they still bloom during certain seasons and some (like Rosemary) smell nice. I've thought about the fake grass (even the pricey stuff), but the costs appear to outway the benefits.

Prior to reading the above, I had a similar experience this morning. I slowly ate (and enjoyed) a maple glazed donut similar to Remy on Ratatouille. Don't rush through life eating like Emile...

btw - the last part of the post should have read:

The biggest party foul (non-college) I can think of is when people bring a (plus 1) to a party when there was no (plus 1) being offered. This leads to my last party rule - only invite guests you are comfortable having over. As a guest, ensure you do the same for the host. I think the respect rule goes both ways. The host should try to make the guests as comfortable as possible, and the guests should try not to overburden the host as much as possible.

I've grown up taking my shoes off heading into people's homes, so I always ensure that I don't have unappealing feet situations (ungroomed toes, holey socks, stank feet, etc). My general rule of thumb though is to follow what the other guests are doing. If you are hosting a shoe-less party, ensure your closer friends are there first which will create the setting.

I don't have any specific party-rules per se, since my circle of friends generally acts the same way I do.
But here are things that would catch my eye:
1) Semi-unknown friends of friends heading to unpopulated places of the house.
2) Shoes on furniture.
3) Trying to use the master bathroom without permission.
4) A person taking a cell phone call in the middle of an area where folks are trying to have a conversation.

The biggest party foul (non-college) I can think of is when people bring a 1 to a party when there was no 1 being offered. This leads to my last party rule - only invite guests you are comfortable having over. As a guest, ensure you do the same for the host. I think the respect rule goes both ways.

The scratching of items being placed on the table may have me looking for an alternative. How about a dry erase table?

I think most couples have different sleep preferences which is probably why the Cal King is such a big seller. I was about to comment on DJlucky's tone, but I infer from his comment, "the least you could do would be to sleep with someone of the opposite sex without complaining so much," that he posted it while going stag to the comment party.
