I was afraid we'd end up with Early American Trash! He did show me while walking through the furniture store, the coffee table he almost picked out. It was so ugly and gaudy and all I could think was how it would have immediately been sent back. What was he thinking?

In Ohio, we had a den that was called The Male Bonding Room. Native American spears, civil war things, even a Bullie, which is a dried bull testicle. The walls were textured with straw and then had a glaze over it. Really pretty and very masculine. That was the room the men watched sports, smoked and passed gas.
