Reading the news is making me think of all the Zombie movies that I've ever seen lol

This is very true! lol

To be fair, both views are correct. If you build upon an existing thing and make it better (depending on your version of 'better') it's considered, "progress". If you build something from scratch, or from the remains of the original that was torn down to rebuild it as you said, and it's 'better', then it is also "progress."

But that's just my own opinion.

You sit on them so that should qualify right? If so then I have to change my answer to 2 lol

One armchair...the rest I currently can't see where I am sitting. (but there are 4 more)

I just found this site today, and it doesn't seem all that bad, although I scanned over the posts of the recent drama it's had, and all I have to say is that people in large groups suck sometimes. But that's just me. There seem to be some good people on this thread though, commiserating with each other's down points and encouraging others that are working on various projects and trying to better their situations. I know that I am new, but that kind of stuff helps.

So to all, chin up and hopefully better things will come about. And good luck to all with projects and the like. :) I hope that your day gets better!
