Couldn't have said it better, Laura! I haven't had a chance to read the other thread yet, but I can't believe that someone got the wrong idea about this whole thing. I thought it was wonderful to be able to "visit" everyone since we can't do it in person. We're much more than an internet bulletin board here, we're family, and seeing others' homes is part of getting to know someone better which strengthens the "familiness" of what we have here.

No one should judge or be judged. Everyone lives with different circumstances and we all do the best we can with what we've been fortunate enough have. No one should feel belittled or put down because their home may not be as "nice" as someone else's because first of all - who determines what is "nice?" Everyone has different tastes and abilities. I for one, have no decorating ability whatsoever, and that is why I live in a white house.

Kim, you had a wonderful idea and the majority of us really enjoyed the tours. I'm just sorry someone has such a low self esteem that they have to spoil it for all of us.

Anyway, I'm off to the other thread where I'm sure I'll have an opinion too.
