I think stainless steel is on the way out, but that is based on nothing and I am not good at judging trends like that.

I agree - I feel like I know way too many people who hate stainless for it to be a long-term thing. Stainless/granite feels like what you do to a kitchen when you want to sell it, not when you want to cook in it.

(I loved this apartment at first sight largely because of the granite and stainless steel. I don't know who you people are.)

And when I think of fancy words, it's not on the list.

Man, some guy I know on another site is constantly commenting behind my comments to give me points for using words of more than one syllable. Latest comment? "5 points for the use of 'braggadocio'!"

I never, EVER reply to him.

My requirement for kitchen countertops is: can I smash a bag of frozen ice on it and not damage it?

ita, are the cabinets cherry or similar color wood?

I have no opinion on the use of granite or stainless steel in a kitchen per se, but man do I have opinions on the people on the H&G network who INSIST that any house or apartment they look at have them.

And there's Miley Cyrus on the Teen Choice Awards sticking her tongue out and miming giving a blowjob to a mini surfboard. Stay classy, Miley.

The laundry that I've done has yielded enough pants to clothe me through the week and my soup is pretty tasty. Good day!

I don't have strong feelings about stainless steel appliances, myself, I just feel like they've been The Thing for long enough that they probably won't be for much longer.

I don't like granite. I like butcher block, which no one else likes anymore. I do like stainless, though.

I had a feeling that butcher block was going to come back any minute, but that's probably based on one episode of an HGTV show.

I've been joining Facebook groups that relate to growing up in the Pennsylvania county I was born in. Lord, the memories that are being brought up. Is this a sign of a midlife crisis, being pulled back to your youth?
