I've only ever seen French Doors twice. One leading to the outside and the other from a bedroom to I don't know what room. Not sure if that apartment was remodeled or what. Had a tiny kitchen with a 1/2 bath in it. Bath was tiny and triangular shaped. You could walk through the kitchen into this very long, narrow room. My friend used one end as her living room and there was nothing at the other end. The other end is where the French Doors were and they led into the bedroom. Yes, clear glass doors there. In one corner of the bedroom was another triangular bathroom and it contained a shower. |

You might be surprised by who would be interested in visiting the area where you live. We had car problems once in an area where 'no-one ever visited'. We had to wait for 3 days for a part to arrive and we were in no hurry so just found aplace to stay and stayed put waiting tillt he car was fixed. We found that place was actually delightful. Friendly and interesting people and although not traditionally 'pretty or scenic'. That became less important as we wandered around on foot and talked to people. People are what one always remember after travelling we find. |

I used one with the sliding doors and my mom has to use one with her tub surround that is some kind of faux marble. I don't need one now. Shower is plenty big so it's rare to get water on any surface other than me and the floor unless I want to. I do have a hand held shower massage so I can if I want. |

Where? We did have one of that style in downtown Edmonds. It was a B and B for a while. Not sure it's even there any more. What a lot of people don't realize is that this area wasn't settled until fairly recent years. In some areas, you can find a farmhouse here and there that is around 100 years old. And I lived in an apartment in the 80's that was 50 years old at that time. But in the area where I grew up, most of the houses were built in the 60's. This house was built in the 80's and it's one of the older ones for this area. This was still farm country when we moved in. Most of the farms have been torn down now and new houses put in. Little to no yards to them. |

There are lots of things but all with drawbacks. My parent's new one had a textured bottom. It was fine for many years but then it wore off. You used to be able to buy gritty strips or textured appliqués. They would stick on but required the tub to be well cleaned and dry or they wouldn't adhere. And most required you not to use the tub for 24 hours after. And then after a couple of years they would peel off and you'd have to do them over. Sometimes they left a residue that was super hard to get off. And you'd always have a couple that just didn't want to come up. There are rubber and plastic mats that stick down with suction cups. They may or may not stick well. And they will invariably mildew at some point no matter how careful you are. Then there are some made of a thick fabric. Supposed to not mildew but eventually will and worse than the others. Plus it doesn't fully seem to dry out unless you remove it and hang it up for a couple of days. So when you get in, you are stepping on a cold wet mat. Recently they are advertising carpet that you can put in there. I just can't imagine. What I have now for my shower (but would work in a tub) are individual little non-skid spots that suction cup on. Not as big enough as my feet but as long as I keep my toes on one, I'm fine. Daughter hates them so I keep them at the edges. I'm sure they'll mildew too. They just haven't yet. |

How dare we? ;) > > You dare because your country has liberal gun ownership laws and too many > guns owned by too many whack jobs. It's not the "wild west" here. I saw a statistic the other day that approx. 1/2 of US households have at least one firearm. Yet the occasional crazy shooting gets all the attention. Maybe they should also mention that 99% of the other gun owners are decent people and don't cause any trouble. The criminals and the occasional insane do all of the shootings and they will always get their guns, no matter what regulations go into effect. You can't un-invent guns. They will always be with us. Stop trying to take them away from the good and decent people. Gary |

You deal with those people harshly but don't penalize the innocent. I occasionally will buy a 3lb bag of apples on sale. They usually contain one or two soft (bad) apples. I deal with them...throw them out. I don't throw out the rest of the good ones. There have always been a few bad people and there always will be. If you take away one weapon, they will just find and use a different one. You live on a farm. I would be surprised if you and your husband don't own at least one firearm. Would you like your government to take that away from you? I didn't think so. SF would like to see that happen though. Gary |

Especially since I live alone now, I'm always aware of the possibility. Each time I step into my shower (with tub), I always step in carefully and make sure the first foot is firmly planted on the tub bottom before continuing in. Once in, I've never had a slipping issue. You always have to be more careful after cleaning the tub as it will be extra slippery at first. Some older people will also install a short handrail on the wall in the tub area. I think that's a good idea for everyone, not just older people. If you slip, you at least might prevent a damaging fall with your hand on the rail. Gary |

There are loads of castles in rural areas. I can see one from my kitchen window. At this time of year it's closed to visitors and I'm one of the team busy conservation cleaning the historic kitchen copper and a fabulous collection of silver and porcelain. http://www.scotlandmag.com/magazine/.../12008084.html > I am > > always curious what the natives viewpoint is in those tourist desirable > > countries-do you feel overrun by tourism? Well, funnily enough I think that feeling is less common in high- tourism cities (easy enough to avoid the jampacked big attractions) and more common for those who live in some rural scenic areas of Britain that are marketed to attract mass tourism (like Cornwall, the Lake District, and Loch Lomond). For rural dwellers there it's much harder to escape or ignore the local impact of heavy tourist traffic, economics and employment. Off the beaten track is far more pleasant both to live in and visit IMO. Janet UK |

That's how I feel too. We have two full bathrooms on the first floor - I'd love to eliminate the tub part in the smaller one and make it into a walk in shower, but that sort of thing affects home value because it's no longer a full bath. IMO, it doesn't matter because we use that room as a den, not a bedroom, anyway. When we sell the house (if ever) someone is going to have to put a closet back in if they want to use our den as a bedroom - so they might as well remodel the bathroom too if having a tub is that important to them. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I read all these "save the earth" things often and it just irks me that I do better most times without even trying. I once saw a customer of mine drive 3 miles out of his way to deposit 2 plastic milk jugs in a recycle bin. He felt good for "saving the earth" but he didn't factor in the gas he used to get there and back home. |
