I would build a house very different from Brandon's.

No exterior windows on the house at all, but centered around an atrium open to the sky with all atrium facing walls all-glass.

You are amazing for helping take care of your mother for so long. I know for you it probably seems like the obvious thing to do, but there are sadly so many people out there who wouldn't (or couldn't). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was still active duty Air Force at the time (stationed in Okinawa), so when she was laid off by Oldsmobile (because the brand was being closed down) it allowed her to get dependant status (and thereforre access to the Tricare militay medical insurance - but that was not an easy process). So, yeah, it just made sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you, but where I'm from llamas aren't that exotic. Exotic, yes, but not so exotic that we don't have them on the farm I work at. If I were a wealthy soul, I would buy a whole bunch of land and build my dream house on it (basically, half castle, half log cabin, with lots of nooks and crannies and hidden passageways to make it fun for kids, as well as an enormous library), and then, while the house is under construction, I'd go visit Ireland for a while and start a tour of all the cathedrals in Europe from there. If the wealth were great enough, I would even build a bunch of small cabins on my whole bunch of land and offer them to struggling souls to live in, rent-free (the only rule being that those folks still have to get a job and work for their living, because I don't believe in being a free rider. The reason for this is that, as far as I know, one of the biggest obstacles to homeless folk in my area is that you have to have an address to get a job, but if you don't have a place to live, you don't have an address, so you can't get a job. Which is really dumb because it means a lot of people are stuck on the streets whether they want to be or not, hence the extra cabins for folks to live in for free.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
