[House and Home] House Gripes

House Gripes: This month's list of observations on home ownership.

• 65" plasma TVs are heavy. The good news is that a thief could not get far with a hernia (ha ha, robbers).
• I seem to be the only one that thinks "Wi-fi ready" and "adaptor not included" are contradictory.
• Recessed 15-foot-high swiveling flood lights are the product of a stunted, disturbed, or outright evil intellect. Maybe all three.
• A snow blower is a divine device; earthly evidence of God.
• There is no such thing as a usable furniture search engine. (I hereby copyright this idea. Email me for licensing terms.)
• Box elder bugs deserve extinction. You heard me. Extinction!
• Dining room sets are too expensive. (Yes, I have actually given considerable thought to dining room sets. Just shoot me.)
• Ladders are too expensive. (See above re: flood lights.)
• Property taxes are too expensive.
• Everything is too expensive.
