[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Wow, TypoBoy, WTF? If you need a transfusion, I'm an A-neg.

Brenda, lots of doggy~ma for Lucy. May she come home to you well and happy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've used ShurLine edgers and love them. They made failure to mask ceiling and baseboards not matter so much!

I really want a pygmy goat, but my municipal code forbid goats on anything less than an acre. I don't think I am up for petitioning for a variance.

Much~ma for Lucy.

Hope nosebleed does not recur.

I want miniature donkeys.

CJ used to get gushers like that. We both have gotten so used to them that he just grabs something to blot with and doesn't freak out.

I thought with moving to dry Colorado they would actually get worse, but he got through the summer with a minimum. For whatever reason, they only happened when he went swimming. Yuck.

Like Gud I used to get these routinely. But it has been over 20 years since I last got a gusher, and five since I got a minor nose bleed. So I'm a little WTF about an old problem coming back.

Probably sunspots.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

bonny, I hate to paint and the things that work best for me are 9" painting pads, an extension pole, and small painting pads and 2" angled brushes for cutting in. For me, painting pads drip less and go faster. I'm an evangelist for Wagner Glass Mask for painting windows. Also, there are relatively cheap disposable drop cloths that are part plastic and part absorbent paper, which work better than newspaper or plastic for keeping paint off other stuff.

My problem with the Shurline Edgers is that I get paint on the little rollers, then roll an extra stripe. I like to use these cheap pads [link]

Lucy is such a sweet dog. I hope the surgery is successful and she adjusts quickly to three-legged-ness. I'll be thinking of y'all.

Lots of ~ma headed out for Lucy and mom.

In terms of painting, as someone born clumsy, and trained worse, I hate rollers, spray paint and all automated methods. Give me old fashioned brushes. It may be slow, but even someone as uncoordinated as I am can get the paint where I want it in the amount I want it. Warning: this is advice from one of the world's lousiest do-it-yourselfers.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I LOVE Painting. Sure, it's a pain to do prep, but the difference a new paint job makes is so amazing. And if you tape edges well, even a total klutz like me can do a good job!
