The HGTV show Designing Cents sucks so badly. They just tore up ugly rose print wallpaper and put pieces on the walls and then did a chair rail with different colored/sized pieces of wood. I would be pissed if I were the homeowner. It's a mess!
'War Stories'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Was it Hilde, GC? From Trading Places? I always thought I'd proactively spork myself if she was ever assigned to remake a room in my house.
YAYAYAY, Empress! SUCH fabulous news, to go with your fabulous self! And such a cute dad. Wheeeeee! That's a relief.
Next magical trick? Feel better!
Yay, AIMS!
Cancer-free! YAY!
Yay Aimee!
But we have one guy who runs several times a day - he wears headphones and will run in the street; he routinely will stop in the middle of an intersection - really, right in the middle of the four streets - and hop around in a circle, yelling. He's been doing this for years - don't know why he's never been hit.
yes, I used to see him when I drove to work. I always wanted to know what his deal was. He was clean, well fed, in great shape, so not homeless, but maybe just crazy.
Bleargh. I had PT this morning, which lasted longer than usual, then went grocery shopping, where I bought more than I'd realized and totally exhausted my shoulders carrying the bags home, and now I want to nap.
On the plus side, I haz air conditioning!
Grr. I was doing tshirts for this event at the last minute. I talk to the guy, arrange to print the design on the special paper, he tells me to print it backwards. I bring it in to do the shirts, and he tells me that it should have been regular. I say fine, I'll redo it, but they were out of the paper, so I can't do it. And the damn things tomorrow.
YAY AIMS!
So far I have only been successful at hanging out. Things I have attempted to do, not so much
Okay, so my favorite sandals are on their last legs. They are the perfect combination of comfortable and cute. I have been looking for a replacement for a while, but haven't found anything. My shoe guy can refurbish them for $100, which is a little more than I paid for them. I would definitely buy another pair if they still made them (stupid designers changing styles all the time), trying to decide if it's worth it. I think that the price is fair for the amount of work he's doing, but is it worth it to pay as much as a new pair of shoes?
Happy anniversary, JZ and Hec! I think you got married around the time I joined the board and I wondered what the hell was going on. Wedding simulposting, what?
Mainly I remember you puzzling over a sidelong mention of some planning detail that was met with lots of noise from everyone, and we then had to go and explain all the backstory of why I could post, like, four words and get so much response.
Also, for your first several weeks on the board you thought Hec's real name was Hector. Which is still unreasonably amusing to me.
