Re: The Lounge
The only wealth in my family that I've inherited is free college - my Uncle Bill was worth hundreds of millions, but he lived a pretty conservative life, he was quite the philanthropist. I'm pretty sure his children got some money, but not millions, because he didn't want them to become unappreciative clowns. And I, along with lots of my relatives, got our college paid for. Not just tuition, either - if I live somewhere off campus, I get $400 a month to help me get by, and if I need, say, books or a computer, it comes out of his posthumous pocket. You know, it's weird. He was considered to be Man of the Year for Time Magazine at one point, and yet I've only ever found one article on him. And that was written by Marquette, which he is an alum of.

Re: The Lounge
My family worked in the factories of Birmingham for a extremely long time. My family has atleast some information dating back to the industrial revolution and it also indicated my ancestors as to working in factories. Unfortunately, there are no factories in Birmingham any more. It's the end of a tradition In unrelated news Space Porn.

Re: The Lounge
It's also very brown, I imagine. That is most of what I remember from returning to AZ after living in NC for a few years, the startling prevalence of the color brown.

There's no grass here, there is only gravel with cacti placed in it.

Re: The Lounge
My birthday is tomorrow, and "to celebrate it", my family is going to spend a day at the coast. I know I should be very grateful for it, but man, all I really want to do is lounge around the house playing video games.
