Windpants: yes? no? Big mistake? I recently changed my mind about going to college in Canada, and intend to stay closer to home and go somewhere in western Massachusetts. The decision was spur of the moment “I don’t want to leave my home” (i.e, my state/New England). Am I nuts to not give it a chance, as I originally intended? ---

D’oh!!! I don’t know who Simon Cowell is. I do web & graphic design from home. Trading Spaces has a strangely compelling quality. Even though the rooms usually look horrid, and the designers are obnoxious, it’s very hard to look away. I don’t know what windpants are. It depends on your reason for not wanting to leave your home. Are you staying back because you are afraid of being on your own without family close by? Do you not want to leave your friends? I think that moving away from home (parent’s house or same town) is a great experience. Even if you move back home after school, you will have proven to yourself that you are self sufficient. ---

Here’s a real question: what do you think of the “Hi Opal!” thing? I’ve read a few people saying you didn’t like it but I’ve never heard anything from you. ---

It doesn’t really bother me, but it surprises me that it A) got so big, B) lasted so long and C) well nothing else, really, but a list has to have at least three things in it. ---

Actually we were just watching that a couple of weeks ago and I laughed. I always forget until I hear it again. I laughed… and then went into the rage. ---
