Is it just me...but the more I look at it, the more it seems a pointless waste of time.
in addition to wasting time in pointless activities...

My sister has established a pretty impressive genealogical "family tree" on there as well, including tons of old pics of dead relatives, marriage/death certificates, census records and many other family artifacts that keep us all connected and interested.

They don't have to be pathetic. You can personalise them.

All the tears in the linoleum and molding are obvious, and no amount of "personalization" is going to change that. I make the room look as cheerful as possible and refuse to look underneath the trailer because I don't want to see the pack rats that the maintenance men say live beneath us. The internal paint is the original paint. The external paint is as well, because they only paint the outside if there's gang graffiti on it. The last time the painter came out, I tried to convince him to see graffiti because the peeling paint just makes it look worse, but his sympathy didn't extend to risking his job. The parents complain because they don't want their kids in the trailers. They have to go outside and hike to the trailer with the restrooms, and there's no supervision and protection out there.

The upper grades (4 and 5, and some third grades) are out in these trailers that they put up instead of adding onto the school. Now they're going to build a state-of-the-art school near ours instead of spending much less money to fix ours.
