strange revalation...

[Sarlon]

I was at a gas station the other night chatting with a lady working there, and she had told me that for the FIRST time in her life she and her fiancee had just bought a house! a real house, not a rental, or an apartment, which she told me was all she ever lived in her entire life (shes 25).

We got to talking further and I mentioned metaphysical stuff and great natural energy protectors....and it smells great to boot.

She had never heard of rosemary, not as an herb or as a plant and was floored when I mentioned how big it can get!

Some people have never grown anything. You'd think she'd have heard of it as something to cook with at least.

Reminds me of when my friends had some relatives over, including this one young woman who was very, very religious. She seemed to think everything in their house was scary and possibly devilish, which was odd because they have nothing remotely pagan out where anyone can see it; but the capper came when they offered her some chamomile tea. Her response? "That's weird."

I've never owned a house. I'm 39. I like renting.

[Sarlon]

nothing wrong with it, she was really excited and it was a big deal for her ^^

I'm 36 and have never owned a house. I badly want my own house, built from scratch to my specifications. Just can't afford it even with the prices having gone down.

I think it was more the rosemary than house ownership. Honestly, I've never seen a rosemary plant.

I am 52 and have rented all of my out-of-the-parents-house life. not that I really like it ie. not really having any permanent roots and stuff.
