Do you have stairs in your house?

I'd rather post this in General Psychology in regards to where some of these familiar posting styles come from, but feel the secret may be safer here.

[ShaiGar]

Yes and they lead to the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms.

[Drayakir]

Yes, and one time when I was drunk, I couldn't ascend them- I kept on falling down. That wasn't too fun.

[banzai]

Don't you think that is a bit of a personal question to ask?

Honestly, I'm kind-of offended...

[Paul V]

Yes. One. It leads to a bedroom-study above the garage.

I don't think this is relevant, though.

I agree! The next thing you'll want to know how many steps there are. Haven't we delved a bit too far into each other's personal lives here?

(BTW - yes) ;D

[brewmaster]

Yes, and the last time I checked they lead to somewhere around 130 gallons of beer. I am just waiting to get snowed in.

[HarleyQuinn]

Yup and they lead to the gates of hell! :scared:

Actually, I have 2 staircases. 1 up to the bedrooms and 1 down to the basement.

And yes... I often trip on stairs going up and down. It's like an unwritten cosmic law that if I ascend/descend a staircase, I must stumble at least twice a month and at least once in the vicinity of other people. :thumbsdown:

[Kfbr]

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I am protected.

[Firelie]

Two sets of stairs, actually. I live in a 3-floor townhouse.

[Hypomanic]

No.

After our first two-story house I found I disliked having a big house (creepy) and now we live in a one-story (it's bigger, but not stacked).

[Caramel]

Yes. I use them to get upstairs.

Why does this matter?

[tom330]

I've got one set that goes up, one that goes down inside the house; and outside I have set in the garage, a set on the front porch, a set on the back porch, and three more sets on retaining walls. My wife has really shapely legs because of it (Sorry, that's probably too much personal information!)

[Caramel]

No, that is in fact usefull information. Thank you, I will use stairs more often from now on.

I had stairs in front of my old house and also in the inside and still remember the time I fell down the stairs. At my new house, yes there are stairs in front of the house...So how does this relate to psychology?

Oh yeah, I'm also afraid of elevators...maybe there is a relationship, then?

Maybe stairs relates to housing style which relates to somthing psychological (help me, I'm searching for relevancy here!). :undecided:

Me, I like Colonials (where I live now) and Victorians (where I want to live).

[HarleyQuinn]

Maybe there's something to be said about the length of the stairs outward? Like... short steps = need for speed and large steps = calm and collected?

I hate small steps though. I usually take steps 2 at a time (or leap all the way down when possible and alone) but with short steps I find I have to go 1 at a time lest I kill myself.

[Booko]

Yes, we live in a split level. And after that foot surgery I had, I learned that my next house will not have stairs, unless it's just stairs leading to the basement where I keep the pickles in progress. I can send my husband down to get them. mwa ha ha!

[Danisty]

I grew up in a two-story house and I would be happy enough not to live in one again (although I'm sure I'm out of luck as the military seems to have a thing for townhouses). I have steps up to the font door though and that's important because I prefer above-ground foundation.

What is the terrible secret of space?

[anul]

I'm protected....

[Kfbr]

So like 3 out of a few dozen, not bad. Thought it would be higher ;)

[WavesSootheMe]

After our first two-story house I found I disliked having a big house (creepy) and now we live in a one-story (it's bigger, but not stacked).

Bigger one story homes frustrate me way more than two story homes. I used to babysit this little boy in this huge house. I'd put him to bed and then go watch a movie. The problem was that the living room was clear on the other side of the house. Hours later I'd find him getting into trouble in his dad's office. I started bringing a book and sitting in the hall until I was sure he was asleep.

I'm used to having stairs. I'm currently in an apartment but we're high up. I like stairs. I choose stairs over elevators.

[banzai]

I grew up in a house with stairs...

Anyone else just rip down the stairs as fast as possible? Even now when I visit my parents I do this.

hell yea! :P how about sliding down banisters?

[banzai]

Fortunately for my gonads, no banisters.

However, inside a sleeping bag head first? Yes. :idea:

As an added note, I also tried jumping on the trampoline in the same sleeping bag. Let's just say I was introduced to the wonders of a head injury. The hose works great for getting blood out of your hair... sleeping bags are such carnage.
