Is it for sure, for sure, David? You, I mean?

All signs point to Yes. One week from today, I'm pretty sure.

Sorry, man.

Thanks.

ita is cracking me UP today.

OK, still zonked after in-law family time and international travel. Going to bed. Yes, it's not even 9pm.

If anyone's terribly bored, I need decorating advice.

I got an Oldham/Lazboy sofa & chair a year ago. (Crappy photo here if it helps at all. Ignore the rug, as I've tossed it.) I have given up on finding a coffee table I like, and am leaning toward getting this ottoman instead. Assuming I do...

The sofa & chair are a sort of mauvey color -- I think it's actually close to the color on that pic of the ottoman, but solid, not patterned. The living room is white, though I do intend to paint it eventually. The question is, what colors should I look at for the ottoman? Using the same fabric that's on the other furniture seems like way too much mauve. Would a different bold color be too Romper Room? What about grey? Or brown, so it reads more as a table? A pattern, maybe one with some mauve and another color I could use on the walls?

When I got the other stuff, Lazboy had a ton of fabrics, so I know the colors on the site aren't the only choices. I may try to run over there this weekend, and I'd like to have at least a vague idea of which set of swatches to concentrate on. So anything that helps me narrow down the options would be appreciated.

I vote grey, maybe a pattern with hints of mauve in it. We have an ottoman as a coffee table-ish thing AIFG!

We've all been in this situation before – the meeting's in 5 minutes, and your boss asked you to find a statistic online to prove a point. Like that the tobacco consumption in Brazil is decreasing, or that most seniors prefer cats to dogs. Whatever it is, we're now here to help you create valid-looking statistics in an instant!

Just enter the data you need and we'll produce an authoritatve webpage for you to link to or print. No more frantic googling – get just the custom data you need and Let That Meeting Start™.

Excellent. I wasn't sure if it was actually a good idea or if I was just sick of looking at ugly tables. I suspect it will encourage napping, but that doesn't seem like a bad thing right now. And I like the patterned/grey concept. Hmmm.

For those who have stopped caring at work:

Dear lord, our programmers have threatened to do something like that to save us all time. I wonder which one of them did it.

I think Robin's idea is good, Strega.

If you can get the fabric swatches and a couple of large paint chips in potential future colors, I'd suggest that for helping narrow your choices.

Hmm. That reminds me. Must hit Rodda and check out the paint colors in person for when I paint the bedroom in a nice creamy chocolate milk.

Stoopid people are using all the washing machines.

Stoopid stoopid people.

Loving the statistics-machine!

So I decided to take my car in tonight after I couldn't get my gas cap off. Ha ha. Diagnosed as a faulty gas cap, new one in place (and I did check, this one comes off and goes back on!), and check engine light cleared.

And I didn't even have to call Bill Napoli.
