HOA -- Home Pwners Association?
(Heh -- leaving THAT typo in!)
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You can only have white curtains or blinds?
Most companies that make blinds now make them white on the outside and colored on the inside, because so many places have this rule. My mom got that kind of blinds for all the windows when she got the outside of the house repainted, because she thought it looked better if the windows all looked the same from the outside.
My mother thinks that too. I think that I look at my house mostly from the inside.
Well I plowed through the whole document, and didn't see any mention of window or door stuff. So, will ask to be sure.

Well if I would just stick to reading that person's fiction, and ignore them on-line I would not know this.
Yeah, this is why I generally don't seek out knowledge of writers or actors. Too often it detracts from my enjoyment of their work. There are exceptions, though. *cough*Cumberbatch*
The main reason I didn't want to move into an HOA was all the Rules, man. I know it keeps the property values up and it's a Good Thing, but I don't like uniformity in housing. I find it depressing. My sister's house is in an HOA, and they have list of approved colors that you can paint your house, and they *require* everyone to take part in lining their section of the road with lumeires on Christmas Eve, and... blargh.
Look, classmate, when I told you want I was doing, rather than asking your opinion, we didn't have to be doing the same thing. Yeah, that changed later, but don't quite my "exact words" back at me as though the context was irrelevant.
Also, if you state specific objections, I will attempt to address specific objections. I will not necessarily intuit that you object to the idea as a whole. If you want me to intuit that you object to the idea as a whole, the best way to ensure that is to say, "I object to this idea as a whole." Preferably at some point before the deadline. Like, oh, say, when I SENT YOU MY PLAN DRAFT AND ASKED FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
Also, also, suggesting that we do both things is not, in fact, a compromise. I can see how you would think that it would be, but, really, it's just twice as much work (or more).
Just got back from a six-hour first date with Marty Sue. It was all right, no real sparks for me. He's an interesting dude. He has lived in a sailboat, an Airstream, and a fire watch tower (in addition to occasional nights in an igloo). Very peripatetic existance - is taking his retirements in chunks (like Travis McGee, though he'd never heard of the books).
And now I need to nap before going out to meet friends in from out of town. OMG, so don't want to go back out. Phooey.
Naps are good. Meeting friends is good.
Well, at least the marathon date was interesting, if not sparky.
Yeah - we had brunch and coffee, wandered a junk shop, looked at a small photography exhibit, tried to check out another exhibit but it was closed, shared a poboy and onion rings, popped into a perfume shop (I found a perfume I *love* called Absinth that is $164 a bottle, woe) and then walked a bit up and down in my neighborhood.
