You have to brush up on your yogic levitation skills before visiting?

You’re not allowed in the room much less on the couch.

It goes back to a time when immigrants were very poor and the nicest thing they could afford was a piece of fancy furniture in the living room.

My wife’s and friend’s families are Italians from New Jersey. Their parents grew up in the basement, that’s where you lived, not upstairs.

The house where my parents first did the plastic covers on the living room furniture was the 9th house I/we had inhabited in my first 12 years on the planet. And at least the 7th living room that furniture had seen (my memory fails me with respect to those two earlier homes). That furniture traveled (at least) from Great Falls MT, to Iowa City IA, to Omaha NE, and then all the way to Rockville/Potomac MD. I suspect today very few of us would pay to haul some not-at-all-fancy-or-unique furniture all those distances. Different times.

All this thread drift is, of course, intended to help Robert feel okay about his particular local prohibition . . . .

[Robert.A.Jr]

Yeah, but there will never be plastic in my house!!!

The reward is greater than the risk!

[Robert.A.Jr]

Not even coffee mugs are immune!

I’m wondering if there’s some sort of twelve step program for breakage?

I’m pretty sure you and my husband are related.

[Robert.A.Jr]

We both like Goldens!

[Charlie_Carnes]

It’s called. He breaks something every step he takes.

I’ll be watching you
