Is your house a "tear-down'? Around here, they are called "scrapers" if each bedroom lacks its own bathroom and walk-in closet, or if the parlor is larger than the family room. Prosperity sure does spoil folks in the US, but don't tell me they don't work hard for it, or take risks for it.

If you want to do something with your life, do something worthwhile...not that there is anything wrong with climbing mountains.
