Men, if you walked into a living room full of women would you apologize for being a man, expressing your opinion and joining into the conversation?

I stick my nose and opinions anywhere; and usually, without apologies. So can you! The more opinions, thoughts, explanations, and jokes the better!
Apologizing is very kind; but, unnecessary. It's not like you're walking into the ladies restroom!
It's all good.
Okay...resume thread.

...and believe me, walking into a ladies restroom is not only embarrassing but the screams (from me and the ladies) can be deafening in that small of a space.

Hoping to bring a little glam to my camping this year with the teardrop!

There are so many things going thru my mind. different colors, different textures and types of things. I will take the usual things for my first camping trip, everything but the tent. so i hope no one minds if I pick up on the how from them I know I will get it decorated but like my house it will be eclectic or (junkie) and comfortable. I look so forward to ladies glampout!

It's been along time since I saw "Texas Ware" mentioned. I used to live a few miles from their factory in Dallas, and all the families I knew used their products. Many had custom made dinnerware that they had designed and made for them, including my family. All that is long gone now, but I think it would be great to have some more custom dinnerware made...especially for "Glamping", or for whatever you can call that I'll be doing (certainly not "Glamping"). Just added: FYI : for anyone else interested in Texas Ware: After I posted this reply on Texas Ware, I remembered that the plant was on Westmoreland near Illinois, so I added that to my search info and came up with this, memories....http://dallashistory.org/phorum/read.php?2,9730Oldragbaggers wrote: I scored some beautiful, never used, old stock Texas Ware melamine dinner plates on eBay this weekend too

After trips to Target, Walmart, and Ikea, along with what I have already collected over the past two years, it's actually looking pretty darn glampy. I scored some beautiful, never used, old stock Texas Ware melamine dinner plates on eBay this weekend too, black (my colors are black and tan, with red and light green thrown in to give it some life), and some tan bread plates. The bowls are tan, the coffee cups are white and the rest is speckleware (with the primary color being tan). I got all my plastic bins and have everything organized and it fits like it was all made to go in there. My french press for coffee, new Coleman nesting cookware, Coleman cookstove, Coleman lanterns (2), red handled utensils, tan potholders, red dishtowels. It really looks pretty, while still looking clean and functional. Of course I also took care of some of the less glamorous items, garden hose, locks, cooking utensils, and such. It's so nice that it all gets to stay in the teardrop, all the comforts of home ready to go at a moment's notice. And in my own very humble, and pretty biased, opinion, my cabin rivals the finest hotel room for comfort.
I don't know if I am really "glamping" but this is definitely camping in pretty high style.

It's good to hear you are so happy with what you've done. It makes all that effort well worth it, doesn't it!
By the way, word to any wise people out there: I was in a store where they sell those scrunchy bright green hoses the other day and saw that some were being returned. The sales clerk told me that they had been having problems with people turning the faucet on too much. It seems those shrinking hoses break under strong water pressure.
