Have You Ever Been Freaked Out?

Unless one is a real extremist, every once in awhile one is bound to encounter a proposal that freaks one out a bit.
For me, it was a woman who suggested that she urinate on my penis, followed by me urinating on her clit. She then wanted to have unprotected anal sex so that I could ejaculate in her anus and then wanted me to urinate in her anus. After that she wanted me to put a butt plug in her tush so that she could walk around with my bodily fluids sloshing around inside her.
Now, that is not the weirdest stuff I have ever heard about or read about, but it was the strangest thing that anyone ever suggested I do. I passed on the opportunity because it freaked me out a bit.
Have you ever been freaked out by some proposed dating sexual activity?

The Barbie House

At the time I bought it, I did not know that the house was known as 'the Barbie House'. I suppose it got that moniker because of the pink railings (you can see one set on the left over the main family room and one set on the right over the garage. It also has some around a second story deck toward the back of the house).

The original 1,074 square feet of the house was built in 1859 and by 1892 it had grown to over 3,000 square feet. The last major addition (it has had at least eight) was in 1950; the house is now just over 5,000 square feet. As you look at the house you are seeing the newer sections.

When I tell people that I am rehabbing the house, they automatically think that I am restoring it to its original condition. Actually, nothing could be farther from the truth. It would be way too costly for someone who is going to sell it and try to make a profit to restore the house. The people who owned the house since the 1940s destroyed almost every trace of old and original: they got rid of the original moldings, they got rid of the original doors and architectural details, and they took a good portion of the windows out and enlarged them and replaced them with picture windows.

The house has an extremely contemporary feel inside with large open spaces, it has three fireplaces (one of which is open on all four sides), two family rooms, a sun room, a second story deck, an in ground pool (shaped like a tear drop), a hot tub, a cabana bathroom (all the amenities of a regular bathroom and it also has a changing room and an outside entrance by the hot tub and pool), and ten foot ceilings on the main floor.

This will be a massive undertaking because many changes are going to be made. For instance, the kitchen is going to increase in size from 196 square feet to 480 square feet. It will be the room that will make the house sell. There will be many other changes as well and I will talk about them in future posts.

I should mention that the way overgrown bush in the middle of the picture is gone now and the railings are in the process of going from pink to black.
