My requirement for kitchen countertops is: can I smash a bag of frozen ice on it and not damage it?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Because books.
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?

I feel very much this way.

I like butcher's block. The cabin I stayed in this past June had it, and it was very nice (and recently built, I think, so maybe on trend?). I don't remember what the appliances were like for sure - oh, wait, there are pictures online [link] looks like stainless.

What I wish I could get are kitchen counters that gently slope into the sink so the drips from drying dishes don't just puddle there. Sinks all seem to be slightly raised above the counters now and it drives me nuts whenever I wipe down a counter and hit that lip of sink. I'd blame it on whoever renovated my kitchen, but I've run into it too many places.
