It was like that in our old house. We had bookcases in just about every room. When we finally moved to our new house ten years ago, we set aside one of the "bedrooms" (which is actually an open loft) as a library, complete with a comfortable sofa and wing chair at which we can sit and read.

I have no more room for books in my bedroom.

and some shows weren't even worth 1 season.

One notable example that comes to mind for me is "Courting Alex", a sitcom which aired five years ago on CBS and got shut down after only eight episodes. Jenna Elfman played the lead character, who I thought was witty. I think two other episodes had been filmed, but they never aired.

Then later in 2006, CBS launched another sitcom, "The Class", about a group of eight elementary school classmates who reunite after 20 years, as young adults (although one of 'em would be deployed midway through the series); I thought it had some good storylines and all, but it only lasted one full season, leaving a few of the storylines up in the air.

I have no more room for books in my bedroom.

I have two bookcases in my bedroom. One of them is a three-tiered bookshelf which my grandfather had built in the 1960's, originally for my mother when she was in her teens; after I came along, she passed it down to me and I have used it for various books that have come and gone. The other bookcase, which I acquired in 2002, contains all my videotapes and CD's.

Of course, because the weather is colder and you have to warm up.

And in the summer, when you have warmer weather, you usually have to run fans or air conditioners to stay cool.

That's what we initially thought during our first year or two in our new home, since we often get the ocean breeze... but one year during the summer, the temperature did top 90 F. Furthermore, on Labor Day in 2004 we had some brutal heat; this finally convinced us to get an air conditioner. So we had one installed the following April. Now it's there for us to use whenever it gets too hot.

I like when I put the air conditioner on High Cool.

Yes, that's about the appropriate temperature to use it.

In the house I grew up in, we usually had hot summers, so air conditioning was a must. However, the unit that we had broke down in 1998, after 19 years of use, so we had to get a new one installed. That way, when we sold the place in 2000, the new tenants could have a working appliance.

I remember one summer when the house got bitter cold from the air conditioner,that's when we needed to put it back to Low Cool.

I know,always expect it.

I think there was one time when I got something for Christmas that I didn't really want. I eventually got rid of said item.

I know how that can be. I often find it hard to figure out what gifts to get my parents, either for their birthdays or Christmas. In fact, my dad's birthday is next Saturday and I am still trying to figure out what to get him.
