Stagnation

I like when things remain the same; Stagnation is my favorite game. I play so well I never lose; What’s set in stone makes me enthuse. While others might redecorate Or even move, I can’t relate. New furniture does not entice; My stuff is old, but still, it’s nice. It isn’t normal, I’ve been told, Becoming worse as I grow old. I wish I knew why I eschew The new to stick with tried and true.

I am loving this "What’s set in stone makes me enthuse." because it is not the Ilene I know at all!

I'm like you; my wife isn't. Our house has been made over twice; once each decade. Oh, well... :)

Oh my, Ilene, you and I would get along just fine. I hate to have new stuff. I like my old, comfortable stuff. I have to force myself to buy something new...and the prices nowadays are prohibitive!

There's a saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I like to get my moneys worth out of things. Tom
