The rare occasion I watch TV I am flabbergasted at the homes “ordinary” Americans apparently live in on commercials or TV dramas. Look at their TV kitchen, its spacious with an island countertop, cherry wood cabinets, stainless appliances. Amazing! $150,000 might be on the low end.
I lived with a guy that was going through separation and divorce. His ex-wife had picked out all stainless steel kitchen appliances. I had to wipe fingerprints off those f***ing things with stainless steel polish TWICE A WEEK. That is unacceptable to me.
Needless to say if my wife (like I will ever get married anyways) demands that I buy her a stainless steel fridge and stove, like the wood-fired cookstove and icebox I have provided her are not good enough, it's out the door with her!
