HGTV has changed the game, everyone thinks they have to have granite countertops and an "open concept main floor". The whole thing irritates me, a generation or so ago parents raised a family in a small 2-3 bedroom house with one bathroom, now everyone in the family "needs" their own bathroom.

Yea I grew up a house with 1 bathroom for 8 people. In southern Ontario.
For a private conversation, I sometimes had to sit on the bathroom floor and close the door? What does one expect of a teenager? REally no more weirder than people on cellphone in bathroom.

And yes we had 1 phone in house.

I'm beginning to sound "old". But there are still enough people who live like this in North America.

I still have lots in common with long-time non-athletic friends. However still, they try to be active themselves. I think we have inspired each other over the years.... Professionally 2 closest friends who graduate from the same faculty, same university, same year 3 of us..have taken risk to have worked for several different(5-8) employers, have moved cities for jobs and hence, haven't built up comfy pension for early retirement, from working for only 1-2 employers.
