Five times as much time spent on the staircase, than at the sink in the bathroom.

Don’t shake hands with anybody that participated.

What kind of heathen only uses their piano room that infrequently?

Mitch had this figured out years ago.

The piano is turned the wrong way.

A porch is extremely useful when you are not addicted to video games.

That's likely highly accurate

My childhood homes had formal living rooms which we weren't really allowed in. We never used them. Even for holidays and gatherings, we always used the everyday "den". My adult homes have not had formal dining rooms.

I use my dinning room damn near every day. I have a nice table and chairs and children eat with us. I have a smaller table in the kitchen for breakfast. I think it’s important to have meals as a family. Studies have shown it’s beneficial for the whole family when they eat together.

Its just a sign of the times when being on your phone, eating by yourself while being on your phone and not socializing with your kids is the norm. My biggest regret is how much I let my kids watch tv. That will soon be changing.

My kitchen fits a table that seats 8, we eat dinner as a family every day. I could see having a formal dining room if the eat-in portion of my kitchen was small.

We have a formal DR with no table.
Still haven't bought one in 17 yrs. The breakfast table suffices. The cat makes me more use of the two sofas in the big living room than we ever will. Obviously the guest BR is rarely used. And once our youngest moves out for good (fingers crossed) we'll have 3 unused BR.

I sit on the back porch and relax almost every night.

Not really sure what is the difference between a back porch and patio but I spend a lot of time on mine reading, watching football, grilling, etc. Even have been known to take my laptop out there and pay bills for the family business. I would probably sleep there if not for the mosquitoes.

The term is somewhat interchangeable, much like grocery cart and buggy, and I sometimes refer to my back porch as a patio, but a porch is always covered with a roof. A patio doesn't necessarily need a roof over it.
At least that's my take.
