I think you are a bad commenter because... you are boring the fuck out of me.

I would hazard that there are no farmers in said alliance. Just uptight suburban housewifes/kept men who have too much time and really like the vistas on their Sunday drive.

With every barn that comes down, the classic landscape of American farmland littered with wooden barns fades away. The National Barn Alliance is trying to make sure that doesn’t happen by preserving the buildings it can and documenting those that will come down.

Yeah, that’s excessive for sure. But I’m not going to hate on small farmers (a notoriously wealthy group, right) for making some money off of something that would cost them if there wasn’t a demand.

I basically agree with you. However, my neighbor did order reclaimed barn wood from the other side of the country in order to create an
“accent wall” in her kitchen. I think it looks cool, but I’m not sure that shipping reclaimed wood across 12 states is either economic or environmentally sound. So some of the hate…

Recycling is good, particularly wood, even if it’s hipsters doing it. I don’t understand all the sudden hate for reclaimed wood. Just throw it all in the dumpster, amirite, or burn it! That would be much better.

... Go on.

Is this when he went through his goth phase?

MediocreMike: You absolutely should. The special needs world needs more people like you, seriously. I worked with people with autism for 4 years and it was the most important and transformative period in my adult life. It’s really hard work, but you get to change people in a good way and they also change you in a good…

What a great story....thanks for sharing that. I have a four year old son and I find myself struggling with the joy that he brings me (he could not be a better kid) with the fear of the world he will one day have to face on his own.

I’m on the verge myself. I have a friend who has autistic triplets. Let that sink in for a minute. Her only son, whose also a redhead and looks a lot like that kid pictured is awesome.

I am crying at work. And it is also not for any of the usual reasons.

At least you have a time machine.

Damn it. At least, you’re at McDonalds probably biting on a Sausage Mcgriddle. I’m at Barnes & Noble having to pay for the magazine that I'm reading soaked up with my tears.

I highly recommend her autobiography, Dolly, it is a true delight and a primer on self-acceptance. She says in the intro that throughout the book she’ll explain how she became “the best Dolly Parton I can be, largely through trial and error...but it is up to you to be the best (your name here) you can be.” And she…

I want to tell Dolly all my problems and then have her sing Joline to me!
