    Crying
    Longchamp

    And family cloth because someone mentioned that in some countries, they don’t flush TP, so I thought of that

    NordstromS annoys the shit out of me.

    To be fair, they did change their name in the 1940s, but unless you’re old enough to remember that, it’s Nordstrom, no S

    MeijerS, KrogerS, AldiS......we love to put an S on things!

    There used to be local Walmart-style store called Caldor and everyone called it “CaldorS”

    Also, it’s NORDSTROM not NORDSTROMs

    It's not.
    Looking at the pictures and the description it has:
    master and 3 add'l bedrooms on upper levels, plus a basement level room shown as a gym that could be the 5th bedroom
    dedicated office on main level plus an existing built in office nook near kitchen
    living spaces include living room, family room and sunroom on main level, plus family room, game room and playroom in basement
    Lots of space to get away to when siblings are on your nerves!
    And large main laundry on 2nd level with a 2nd W/D near back door so very convenient for pool towels

    But does it have a claundry? 🤪

    I doubt it! Hopefully it has a laundry chute at least for Dons massive clothes, the master is on the third story! And there is a basement too, lots of stairs with little kids...

    A starter home is for 20-29 year olds
    They are almost 40 and are ready for a finishing home.

    Sure, traditionally. But it seems to me Tens is a bit of a troll .. I could absolutely see them upgrading when the kids are a bit older. Maybe something with ensuite bathrooms for the girls/kids. I definitely don’t think whatever they buy will be their forever home (if they even stay married that long).

    That house has two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths on the second floor and then also a third full bathroom on that level. It’s an older home and might be a bit quirky in layout in my opinion. This is a huge step up for Tens.

    She hasn’t changed her name on Facebook though!! Why do you think she hasn’t??

    Because facebook is for older people who couldn’t possibly understand their new modern family? And/or would be pissed that they weren’t invited to the courthouse/small celebration... maybe she doesn’t want to field all the comments from her FB “friends” until they’ve closed on the house and have a reception date solidified? Totally projecting here, I’m her age and those would be my reasons.

    Would 5 bedrooms be enough? Five kids in four bedrooms would be tight, no room for a guest room. Yuck.

    It has the potential to transform into her “dream house” All 5 children will be part time in their home, going back and forth between the other parents houses. So I could totally see a fun shared bedroom/tree fort, sleepover type room situation vs dedicated rooms for each child.

    For instance:
    bedroom 1- girls shared room
    bedroom 2- boys shared room
    bedroom 3- nursery
    bedroom 4- guest room

    Plus, it has an office and workout room. She could make a little kitchen desk when she remodels that dated kitchen. I don’t think Tens obsessively works out, she doesn’t need to because she’s naturally slim unlike Jen. So maybe the workout room could be repurposed?

    Hmm, another pending listing in Glenview. It has a pool, and her pinterest suggests they are looking at a house with a pool. It's also on a golf course which obviously Don would like. There's a little fenced in garden plot, which would appeal to a family that cooks, and big basement game/play area. Only 5 bedrooms, but again...pins make me think they are looking at some shared bedroom situations

    OMG that pool area is amazing. But is there no law/whatever in IL saying you have to fence your pool in?

    Gene 1.0, I guess we're just going to talk about your replacement while you remain silent&stewing.

    I had that same thought about the pool fence...

    I googled it. No. Just no, and they don’t even bleach them!!! I won’t even mix clothes in with my dish towels because I don’t want the germs to mix in the washer!

    Yep, because many of the people who use the family cloth think that bleach is tOxiC and only clean with essential oils.

    Should we discuss how certain parts of the world don't flush toilet paper, or should we stay on our current topic. :goodbye_smiley_emoticon:

    ewww what do you DO with it after it's...used? Haul it around with you til you find a trashbag??

    QUOTE (Main Course of Choice @ 6/8/2021, 03:49 PM) 
    If it's yellow, let it mellow.
    If it's brown, flush it down.

    Double ewww

    We were there for Mr. Seemingly Sweets 30th birthday... he ate Octopus balls from the back of a truck half parked on a random sidewalk 😆

    As in, the balls of an octopus, or balls made out of octopus? Do octopi even have balls?
    My Google machine must think I’m high today.

    Fried balls of octopus meat (I think) 😆

    Also, my bf forces me to tell you that America AND Europe are technically underdeveloped 3rd world countries compared to Japan.

    They have the best food too.

    Not that I've ever been to Japan but all the Japanese food I've had is :big-drooling-smiley-emoticon:.

    Exactly. Mr. Seemingly Sweet quite enjoyed the heated seats and blow dryers on Japanese toilets. American toilets might as well just be outhouses.

    On the Real Housewives of Dallas they were all bragging about their Japanese Toto toilets. Like, it was a storyline. Apparently they are getting popular in the US.

    We are building a house in the near future and are budgeting for the Toto and not just the seat, the real deal. We installed a bidet in our RV and flush toilet paper... I cant fathom living somewhere that they don’t flush it!

    At first, when I first tried the heated seat I found it gross. After a month, when I came back to Italy, I missed that the most.

    Mr. Seemingly Sweet vanished into a museum bathroom, 20 min later her came out with a smile on his face 😆 That was the fanciest public toilet we found in Japan. They also still had troughs in the floor at some train stations, I couldn’t deal, I held it until I found a “western” toilet. But we rode the train all over and visited some smaller villages not just the big cities.
