    The home in which I grew up was VERY humble, there was 4 rooms in which my parents raised 4 children. It had a tiny kitchen, a tiny living room and two tiny bedrooms. Needless to say there was no room for "decorative" anything and if my Mom had anything of value to her it most likely was kept stuffed in the back of a drawer and taken out only when us kids where sound asleep. lol To this day I am not certain how she kept her sanity.

    I think a guest room is different from having one small junky living room and a big perfect one that no one can go into except maybe once a year with special visitors. A guest room is a nice idea for having visitors. But, if a person has a big, overall nice home then I guess a special events room can make sense. I would like to have my own living room now. And I can lift weights, watch movies, dance, read, whatever. And no kid's stuff. My husband can join me in the room as well.

    I had fun decorating the guest rooms. Rather, I decorated the one mainly for young people and started decorating the one for adults. They are even named!

    The young people's guest room is named "The Patriot's Room," and it's all red, white, and blue. The tchotchkes there are flags and such. it has two single beds.

    The other guest room is "The Garden," and . . . well, what it has if obvious! ;) . It has a king-size bed and wicker.

    Married for 37 years. To the same person. Wont ever divorce - too much paperwork and we are both pretty lazy. And frugal (he's cheap!) But its worked out so far - so what the hell - in for another year.

    I am curious @cross2bear do you mind sharing what the most challenging time has been for you in your marriage so far? And please don't say the first 37 years

    Yeah, I grew up on low income housing and what-not. Definitely no decorative rooms. But, we had something called "a junk drawer" in the kitchen. It just had random odds and ends in it.

    I just watched a movie last night. It was Sleeping with Other People. I liked it. On Canadian Netflix. I like the movie About Time. Just sharing some romantic comedy movies. In Your Eyes is good too.

    My son had me watch About Time with him. I really loved it! Plus it brought up a lot of conversation between us and that was even better. I thought all the plot twists kept the movie moving and the ending was just emotionally gut wrenching. I enjoyed the portrayal of a typical mildly dysfunctional family made the "gift" very real.
    Can you share the plot of Sleeping with Other People without spoiling the ending?

    We have a 'hotel' like that in Reno; it's called the Fantasy Inn. It has 'The Jungle', 'The Gladiator', etc. themed rooms for....those special occasions....haha

    ETA: I've never been there (matter of fact I think they closed down for a porn/video-taping fiasco), that kind of place makes me want to soak in scalding hot water and drown my sorrows of STI anxiety in a bottle of tequila.

    It's about two people that lose their virginity to each other in college (late bloomers). Go their seperate ways and go through their own dysfunction. Run into each other at a sex and love addiction meeting a little over a decade later. It's about their friendship and healing from their dysfunction. But, lighthearted.

    I still have a junk drawer. And no special rooms , towels, or pillows. Grew up poor, meat was a treat so we live our life now. It is nice to have nice stuff but it is all usable.

    Japan has sex hotels that have themed rooms. They are very popular over there.
