Hey I found one Colleen Colleen (I saw him first)-amanda marshall Let me tell you about colleen / my best friend since I was three She always had a taste for dangerous things / her scandalous tongue was extreme I was always the one left holding the bag / smiling and covering her tracks Best friends, they always do that / she was the first one to smoke a cigarette She once let me watch her make love / it was the kind of balance made by kings She took it all, but left me some / I guess I always thought that she’d have my Back But it didn’t work out like that / the moment I laid eyes on jack Chorus It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, I saw him first It all happened on a thursday / he backed his car right into mine There are no accidents, my mother told me once / my heart agreed with her This time Colleen jumped out of the car, screaming / what have you done? ! Jack offered apologies / I just got weak in the knees Chorus It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, I saw him first The minute that you’re in it / you know there’s no turning back Like me and my jack / a funny thing To feel the weight of the pendulum swing / when it starts to swing Colleen, armed with charm and body / still couldn’t take my man Last I heard, she was in rehab / I guess that scale got outta hand Covered from head to toe in coloured tattoos / searching for higher views / Hungry for I love you’s Chorus It was my time it was my space / it was the bright red he brought to my face Every underdog has their day / sorry it hurts / but colleen, I saw him first Colleen, I saw him first

Good morning all! Hey it's Friday!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and for those of you that are mom's, I hope you have a nice and relaxing Mother's Day. You guys are great. I had so much fun reading all of the songs for yesterday's poll question. That was a really creative question that Halfunit came up with and it made for a lot of fun responses. Thank you all! Today's question is: If you had a whole extra room in your house, and unlimited funds, what would you do with it? I would furnish it with a big round jacuzzi bathtub, a flat screen tv, lots of candles and smell good stuff, one of those little refrigerators to hold some cold drinks, plush carpeting, and a phone. Oh and a hot guy.

i would make it into my dh's bear cave. it would have a refrigerator for his beer and a microwave for snacks along with a gaming table with a computer network hub. it would also have to have at least a half bath and an exterior door. then i'd move all his computer and gaming stuff in there so he'd have a place for him and his friends to get together and play WOW or D&D without having to invade the rest of my house.

With the unlimited funds, I would build a whole new house around the outside of that extra room.

There would be aubergine in there somewhere either the walls or furnishings or accents. A chofa with ottoman. A 40 inch flat screen telly on the wall. A laptop with a laptop tray. Small area for a mini fridge and sink. In another corner would be craft table and sewing table and an armoir for all of my scrapbook materials and fabric. I'd also have one of those electronic combination lock thingies on the door. It would also have a nice bay window with window seat.

I like the jacuzzi idea. With a TV. Or maybe a home gym. I would love a home gym. Yeah, I'll go with that-- a home gym with weight machines and a treadmill and a big screen TV so I can watch movies while I am working out.

The library would be fun or a craft room, but I think I'd just have to build a completely sound proof room, throw in all the kids toys that are noisy and annoying and the guitars and anytime the kids wanted to play noisy or scream (Dakota's a screamer when she's happy and mad) they could have somewhere to do it, lol.

Mak--probably was. I wondered about that when I copied the song. Couldn't really remember the words from the tv show, but it made sense enough to be the lead in. Hermi, that's what I would like--an exercise room with its own thermostat and different types of equipment. Plus a lap pool. I'd want a wide screen plasma tv with CD player as helpful diversions while exercising. For comfort, I'd have a special, smaller room built within that room to house a red cedar sauna/steam room. Continuing with the comfort theme, I'd have a big, round jacuzzi and 2 or 3 comfortable places to sit or lie down--a chaise, a rocking chair and maybe an air bed. Finally, a fridge for ice cold water, Diet Lime Cokes and sugar-free popsicles!! I like Huk's plan, too. Smart gal!

I'd build a library/sitting room. I love to read, but don't get to do enough of it since the only really quiet place to do it is in my bedroom, and then I end up falling asleep. So I'd want a nice warm, cozy room with lots of bookshelves full of books, two overstuffed chaise lounges that you just sink into and never want to leave, dark, rick hardwood floors with a beautiful old persian rug thrown on top, a fireplace for those cold winter nights, and lots of big, tall windows with a great view of the woods.

It'd be a play room for the cats! There was a house that was on tv, that had all kinds of ramps and runways along the walls and holes cut in the walls for the cats of the house to roam and climb and play. I think that would be so fun to make a huge room just with cat swings and houses and beds and stuff. Then *I* could reclaim the living room!

Adult playroom, with board game tables, books, tv and stereo, comfy sofa, barfridge fully stocked with goodies, wet and dry, and a spa area w/ a hottub and a dry sauna. And an oncall massage therapist, living in the room adjacent. Ah bliss.

At this point in life I would furnish my room with a nice, caring man... and maybe something that glows in the dark!

I would make this into a large game room/party room. Lots of room to play games, pool, shuffle board, poker table. It would have a fully stocked wet bar, with all the munchies you could want. It would also have lots of comfy seating, stereo and large TV. It would have lovely french doors going out to our deck to the pool area. There would be enough room to entertain but not be over crowded. It would be a way to get away from it all and get your mind off things...... (OK enough dreaming..back to reality)

Well, I feel ashamed to admit it, but I actually have two rooms that are barely used right now. One is the spare bedroom and one is a den downstairs. Okay, the spare bedroom really is set up as half guest room half craft room, so I guess that's being used. The den right now is pretty much storage 'cause it has my mom's furniture in it, which I have yet to get around to dealing with even though she passed a year ago. However, if I could wave a magic wand and have an addition on my house magically appear, it would probably be an indoor lap pool and jacuzzi. Oh, and the brother of that man Tater mentioned!

my dd would definitely take littlebreeze's exact idea! for me, a pool table, fireplace, old coke machine that dispenses glass bottles of ice cold coke, foos ball, maybe a pinball machine or two, some bistro tables, cappucino machine and keg-o-rater to keep pony kegs cold, small kitchen area, etc. i would need this room to be about 500 sf!

An artist studio apartment over the attached garages with an outside exist/entrance and another entrance (spiral staircase) into the main house that could be shut off. This is actually on our plans and our property and house are setup perfectly. It would function as a place for our grown son to stay when he is in the country and going to grad school flavor of the year. If we have to take in one of our parents we could give them the master bedroom in main house and use the studio as a new master bedroom. When we get older we could have live in help stay there. In between those uses we could rent it to a Reed College student. Our house borders the colleges wildlife preserve. So it would be great barely off campus living.

It would be a very large room with floor to ceiling windows, sliding ceiling panels that open, indoor swimming pool and hot tub, lots of palms and tropical flowers.

It would be on the second floor, overlooking gardens. It would be large and rectangular and almost entirely empty. There would be large almost-floor-to-ceiling windows all along each of the long walls, with natural wood walls and beams overhead. Hanging between the windows would be images of people, places and pets I have known and loved. In the center would be an eternal self-cleaning fountain. A large cat tree for my cat and a comfortable chair for me, and that's it. A place to go to meditate and to dream and to be free. Wink, I just looked at yours above, and am interested how many elements (the windows, water element, and plants...although mine are outside)...are similar! I swear I didn't look first!
