How do you hang pictures in a round house? You don't!
Well, actually, there are a few inside vertical walls - not too many
though - and I guess we'll have to hang any pictures on those inside walls.
Also, the round walls are also made of cement (covered over in stucco), so
it'd be pretty hard to put nails into the round wall anyway!
We also have wanted to move for a few years already and what got us to want
it bad enough and do something about it was that we seemed to reach a point
where we couldn't take it living in our current house anymore. If we made a
list of pros and cons, there were too many cons - not enough pros! That's
what pushed us out of our comfort zone to start looking and here we are,
about to move. Everything happens in it's own time and you'll move when the
time is right for you. :-)

A friend of mine lived in a two-story adobe house in Santa Fe. My high
school chorus teacher, who was gay. That only partly matters. I was one of
the kids he didn't mind knowing. His partner died the year after I
graduated, of cancer, just before Christmas break. I was home from college
and helped them do a performance of Los Pastores, a local traditional
Christmas play, so I was hanging out with him that week, with rehearsals and
a performance.
The house was bought with a GI loan (of the partner) and so when I was 17 and
18 I was learning what might happen when a longterm unmarried (duh)
homosexual couple faces the parents of the older, mortgage-holding partner
upon his death.
Sam did end up keeping the house.
They were opera buffs, travelling to Seattle and Houston and Chicago for
operas in summer. They had opera posters, framed and up, here and there.
They had smaller photos, framed and on flat surfaces (window sills, little
tables).
Because the rooms had vigas (ceiling beams) some framed posters were hung
between beams with wire, up against the wall.
In the kitchen there were small paintings hung in vertical rows between
windows. I think they were wired to screw-eyes, but I'm not sure.
Their walls were vertical, just not flat, so the frames touched on the sides,
but not in the middle, so small ones didn't project out. The circle was
fairly big, too, one big bedroom upstairs and three rooms downstairs. So
internal walls of the downstairs rooms were flat. There was a bathroom in
the middle, and the kitchen had one flat wall of that, and the living room
was a semi-circle, so had some flat wall.

Grammatical clarification.
I was one of the kids he didn't mind having know that he was in a homosexual
relationship.
He knew lots of kids, and didn't mind. <g>

Sandra,
When the subjects of 'behavior' or 'strategies' are the topic, then,
of course, summaries are not the way to have a discussion! But, for a
questions like, Where can I find paper dolls online, summaries are
wonderful for passing along the information in a way that saves
others so much time and provides such ease for filing that
information. One e-mail with 10 replies to where/what to find in
Paper Doll world.
My example showed how all the answers come *with names attached* so
there would be no wondering who said what.
I, for one, want to spend less time squinting at a screen -- still
haven't bought any reading glasses !) -- less deleting and sorting,
and more time for....uh, anything!
However, I am like the mom who said she *doesn't want to miss
anything* so I am doomed to spend much time with digests (which are
not easy to go through from my point of view).
I think the techies are worth emulating this way. But as I understand
it, it's your list so you are the Maiden of the Wood ;)
Hope you get some sleep.

PS, regarding round adobe homes
I stayed on the Cycladic Greek island Santorini and there were no
right angles -- only curves because the builders carved the cave
dwellings out of the volcanic ash! ... then they paint them white.
they're charming. ...with enough flat planes for walls to hang
plenty. that was only one year ago....ahhhh. (Talk about unschooling,
Jima dn I 'un-familied' leaving the kids at home for three glorious
weeks.)

The answer to ALL those kinds of questions could be "go to google.com and
look it up."
But sometimes it's people wanting specifically unschooler ideas, which are
usually better than the ideas of lowly commoners. <bwg>

It's NOT my list. This one is my list.
You were talking about unschooling-dotcom.
It's easier for me to read the lists, no matter how busy they are, by
straight e-mail. That way you know as soon as someone has started quoting the whole
post they responded to and you can hit "next." AND each post is labelled
beautifully with the exception of those from people on digest, and theirs will
often say "Digest #907939239874" which means zip when deciding whether to read or
skip it.
I wish there were no yahoo digests.
