    Does the phrase “cookie cutter” mean anything?

    Pretty good grade of psychobabble there, Burl. I didn’t know ye had it in ye.I wonder if the same concept applies to the mating process in Crustwood. And I wonder if anyone feels ripped off. I’m having a hard time adding the words “style and beauty” to anything Crustwoodian.

    That’s Burl and Joy’s main preoccupation.They have devoted their entire lives to making sure nobody… OK, especially them …ever gets ripped off.

    No dollar, no dime, no ounce of ice cream, or free sample of cheese… no extra barbecue sauce, no buttercream rose on the birthday cake…shall ever ever ever go to someone else if the Pennys are in line for it.

    Vigilance is the price of equality!

    Meanwhile…. @Mikie…here you go…..

    “That’s a real beauty of a gut on ol’ Burl, ain’t it?”

    “Joy has worn the same ugly hair style since 1964.”

    You’re welcome.

    How many times have they walked into the bedroom just to find someone else there??

    “Mass industrial " here means it can be built “CHEAP” but sold for an outrageous amount.

    Do they not know their address? There is a ? on the mail box or is that to keep the junk out!!

    There was a builder that proudly advertised his homes as “homogeneous” and a of folks thought that was a good thing.

    My subdivision was built just 3 years before I purchased the house in ‘98, so the houses on these 3 streets have only about 4 different variants and only a few (such as mine)are 2-story (some of those are mirror image). Dealing with the construction trades in my past made me know to chose it mainly for overall room layout because I can change just about everything else. I revised most finishes and lighting outdoors and 1st floor.

    May or not ever revise bedrooms to my original plan now that I’m retired (it works for me). AND the neighbors have all revised the exterior colors from 2 or 3 almost identical beige shades. The house next to mine went a lemon yellow and mine to a very rosey beige (that I can call pink) but it’s actually a naturally occurring shade in the flagstone patios I added out back.

    When I was in the Air Force at Tech School, I had been drinking and walked into the wrong barracks. I didn’t recognize any of my roommates.
