Other than yourself.

Could be something about your own home or community.

I discovered that my new place here in British Columbia was the funeral home in the town for a while.

Here I thought the ramp to the back was for wheelchair access.

It was built for wheeling coffins up to the front part of the building.

My apartment is close to a college but not too close and about 4 blocks from a football stadium, I get to watch July 4th style fireworks every few weeks during football season. I can see them just above the trees!! It's pretty cool.

I wonder if I should tell anyone else about this. I may not get many visitors.

Fireworks are cool, I love watching them.

There is a huge music festival here every year, actually next weekend, called Bonaroo. We can here the music from my house. Last year the biggest act was The Police.

Other than that, this is the dullest place I've ever lived and I can't wait to get away from it. Right now I'm fighting my daughter on moving from here because she has a boyfriend.

It wouldn't scare me normally, except after some scarey movie and being there then , I think I would be out pretty quick then. So don't let your guest watch scarey movies there.

Just extended my house with over 2000 sq feet. The new roof is leaking badly and I have to take the building contractor to court to come and fix it.

Since I am a bachelor, I though of sealing off all the glass sliding doors and turning it into an indoor pool, while waiting for the contraqctor to fix the roofs...........

I'm not at all scared.

I actually think it's kinda cool. This was first built as a meat market that stored your products for you if you bought them from the place. Not many people had deep freezes here at the time. Then it was a funeral home, then a tool rental shop and just before I bought it a youth center.

Funny I knew about the rest except the funeral home part. I wonder why my realtor failed to mention that.

Hey Harry, if you hear "things go bump in the night" don't be surprised! lol ............ actually a true story - at the funeral home where I used to work ....... a couple of the funeral directors were there late at night and one of the doors opened and closed ...... but there was no one there. Freaked them out. Sweet dreams!

How about a hearse?

Hmmm....a ghost in lingerie

Lol ............. check out costco ......... apparently you can buy one on-line. Read the Canadian forums lately? Ever consider using a coffin as a coffee table or other perhaps more kinky activity? Just thinking of your lingerie comment!

What does being a bachelor have to do with it? I'll bet a woman might like it too... If you find the right woman.

My sister in law might not be impressed.

The strangest coffee table I ever saw was at a house party about 20 years ago. It was a female mannequin dressed in a leather corset, thigh high boots on all fours with a glass top. A bit odd but kinda cool in a way.

Hhm .... if you were to sit the guy down that will eventually date her daughter ..... she might better appreciate it then! lol

Just don't share with him about this other mannequin coffee table - otherwise you'll lose the "stern uncle image" .............. my gosh, you surprise me sometimes
