I dunno -- that, or because men are somewhat notorious for taking up a lot more space than necessary, thus making their not-tiny house feel crowded.

Thank you, Dr. Sarah Taber! lots of good information as well as food for thought.

OK, I admit to watching tiny home shows on TV, and the people on them are 75% of the time doing it because they can't afford to buy an actual bricks and mortar house or because they need to get rid of the mortgage they can no longer afford. Very few of them are thefree spirit wanderlust crowd.

Quite sometime ago, like in the 1980s, I once was down in Alabama, and decided to take the road from Montgomery to Selma (US 80) just to see what thinge looked like down there.

Once I got to Selma, I was amazed, but not surprised, to see a significant number of black families living in what are called ''shotgun shacks'', so named because they are so small that you could shoot a bullet from a shotgun from the front door and it would make it all the way though the back door.

I don't think these are the kinds of tiny homes that are mentioned up above (other than in size) as they tended to contain way more people than could feasably live in them.Wouldn't ba at all surprised to find that many of them are still there.

I love that Neil Young song.

I recommend a pipe wrench and a cat. They do those two jobs surprisingly well and have none of the downsides of living with a man.

Dumb ass. I think I know what I want. We have been together for 30 years and married since the day we became able to marry. I think that is more than all of Donald Trump's marriages added together.

What you need is a brain and a shrink.

....and in case you don't get this, you moron...

You just made a sexually inappropriate response to a woman, in public.

You just insulted the lgbtq community.

You just insulted me.

You just insulted my family.

YOU JUST INSULTED MY WIFE, THE WOMAN I HAVE BEEN WITH FOR 30 YEARS, THE WOMAN I LOVE DEEPLY AND AM SPENDING MY LIFE WITH. (...and I don't need any strange on the side. Neither does she.)

You are a moral miscreant, an ethical slob.....a poopoo head.

You have to clean up a cats shit tho. And with the way I throw, a pipe wrench would be dangerous

But cats do sit down to pee and "flush" in their own way. Alltho, granted, there are cats that spray everywhere, especially when there is a new cat moving in.

It's been a while since I lived with a man, but my cats do leave their toilets cleaner than most of my patients (not just the male ones tho).
