Steph! Kail was your fav? I'm surprised!
Newf: Every woodworker I know is insanely envious of Norm. I used to have a crush on the guy
Everyone's ideal worlds sound lovely. I would also add- weather temps between 40 and 80. No humidity please.
And no disease with free health care for all.
Actually, Nick. Kail was pretty low on my list.Quote:

In my husband's ideal world, he would have Norm's workshop and a Home Depot in the backyard for supplies.
Oh and The New Yankee Workshop and Antiques Roadshow would run 24/7 on his tv. :lol
(Newf, any home improvement project my husband undertakes, he will tell me it will take (for example) 4 hours and around $200. I automatically double both the time and amount because I know it always takes longer and costs more. He however remains optimistic that he can do it without running into snags and repeated trips to the hardware store and added time and money.)
In my husband's ideal world, people would stop asking hypothetical questions. :lol
:lol. In my husband's ideal world, most people would just stop talking to him all together. He does not like to talk on the phone, idle chitchat and most social gatherings. He's always been a loner type person. I'm the exact opposite. I would wither and die without having lots of contact with all kinds of people.Quote:

Otherwise, he could travel backwards in time about 200 years. He has this whole huge end of the world plan for living. Very detailed. I was surprised at how much thought he's put into it. Buildings for smoking meat, an arsenal, etc.
With the plans he's made, I figure that FBI will be investigating him shortly.
I swear when I married him, I had no idea he wanted his own private militia compound. Only with him, it would be just the two of us. No other guys in camo running around playing war games in the woods. He's not a white supremicist, not into some weird cult religion, not anti-communist seeing world ending in thermonuclear war. His thing is Global Warming and how to survive if the predictions come true. Just wants to live far away from the idiots in the world and to be left alone to hunt, fish and build things. Mostly be left alone. I should have known because his nickname when I met him was Rambo.
I would last about a week before I'd need civilization. :lol
My ideal world involves grocery stores, shoe stores, people to talk too and not having to build a fire in the wood stove to stay warm and cook. And definetly not having to clean and dress what I'm cooking for dinner.
Here's another one, inspired by my wonderful neighbors:
- People would be forbidden from singing Celine Dion songs.
That cracked me up.Quote:

My husband is definetly an eccentric. But I love his quirkiness. Not sure the FBI would see it as harmless quiriness thought. :lolQuote:

My snooze is 8 minutes, and I have one travel alarm that has a 4-minute snooze cycle. I HATE IT!
The great thing about being an old curmudgeon is that I can come up with LOTS of stuff for this thread :nod
IMIW, people who play games and make-believe for a living would be paid less than those who actually contribute to society.
IMIW, politicians would have a priority list of "Country, represented district, party, self" instead of the other way around.
IMIW, God would not be used as justification for questionable acts.
More to follow, I'm sure :angryman
