Punishingly Intricate

It’s in a great location! Perfect for someone not into cooking

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Those were the answers to various unrelated questions (ie “last name of the mascot whose full name is Charles Entertainment…” (cheese) and “name of the director of the first foreign language film to win best Oscar, in 2019” (Bong)) and then you’re supposed to figure out what they have in common and get points for figuring that out also. Sometimes if you can figure out what they have in common it helps—like we guessed “space invaders” for the video game but also thought of “pong” and if we’d realized the theme was “beer ___” we would’ve gone with pong!

OK, that sounds like a fun idea but also very hard!

That house is super cute, msbelle! Bigger than my house and I already feel like my house is too big for me, so not meant for me, but cute! The apartment, oddly enough, maybe I could make work

I don't know how I feel about Pete Rose, honestly, but it's also Shoeless Joe which is very exciting!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Pete Rose is hard no for me. Sex with underage girls, despite how many others in the hall are also guilty.

I did not even know about that

The doors and windows on the cottage are adorbs. Almost hobbity

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was feeling that apartment until I realized what the 'kitchen' is, and never again! But you can't beat that price. It would be a perfect pied a terre!

The door to the outside that's in the bedroom freaks me out too much.

I didn't know about that. I only knew about betting.

I’ve had bedrooms with a door to the outside, didn’t bother me

It freaks me out because it's like -- if you let your hand hang over the edge of the bed, the boogeyman under the bed is going to get your hand, right? Well, a whole door to the outside is basically an invitation for the boogeyman and all his monster friends to come on in and get your hands.

I'm totally aware this is irrational. But I'm also not inviting the boogeyman in, y'all.

Understandable!

When I was a kid I made my peace with the thought that if someone really wanted in my house there was nothing I could do about so I should just go to sleep and the relative security of doors and windows rarely bothers me. Dangling feet off the bed is just unnecessary risk.
