    Ok, I am going to say it. I effin hate FLW designs. Can’t stand them. They look like James Bond Villain Lairs. Horrible. Do you know how many times I have been dragged to Fallingwater? 16. Sixteen agonizing trips totaling 35 hours of my life gone.

    Gee. And I was going to ask you if you wanted to join us.

      Why did you go there so much if you hated it?

      Why did you go there so much if you hated it?

      Scouts
      School trip
      Mom
      Aunt
      Scouts again
      2nd Aunt
      School trip again
      Sister’s new MIL
      Mom again
      Girlfriend’s mom
      Other sister’s MIL
      Sister’s friend
      College Girlfriend
      Drunk trip with college friends when the ski weekend was a bust since it was too warm (don’t plan and reserve cabins 3 months in advance)
      Mom again
      And an outside visit to point it out to Lucas. Didn’t count it since we didn’t go inside.

          You are too nice. Other than my mom, I would have just paid for the cab fare for my relatives to go.

            I don't understand the appeal of these houses, either. They're self-conscious, and a bit up-themselves, and don't look like homes at all.

            I was only joking

              Bunch of wussies who don't know awesome when they see it.

              If I ever won a big lottery payout, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        He's probably trying to gouge his own eyes out.

                          While FLW provided many ideas for trends, much of it wasn't practical for the real world - a bit like couture fashion.

                            Every single day I see office and commercial buildings based on Wright’s designs being torn down. Thank God… 70 years too late, but it’s something…
