Dear World, (An Apology From Decent Americans) Dear World,

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.

"It's Going To Look Really Dated": People Are Sharing The Terrible Home Design Trends That Are Found In Many Newer Homes "My next house will either be laid out by me or made in the '70s or '80s — back when they designed homes to be lived in."

As a Realtor, I show lots of houses. New ones, old ones, and many with these trends. I especially relate to #24.

Worth the read.
