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!

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lots of ~for Lucy and Brenda.
bonny, I hate painting. Scratch that. I don't hate the painting, I hate the prep and the clean up which are 90% of the work. I haven't found very many of the As Seen on TV products that I can rave about (except the One Sweep broom).
That hasn't stopped me from considering the ShamWow!
Typo, I grew up with severe, recurring, gushing nosebleeds. I remember my dad trying to stem a nosebleed for me with at least three dishtowels once and he was ready to take me to the emergency room. The trick I've found that works best is this: Take a tiny piece of paper and fold it several times until it's a tiny packet (sort of like a piece of trident gum) and wedge it between your gum and lip at the frenum right under your nose like a shim. There is a blood vessel that runs right through there and this staves off the supply, allowing some clotting time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hire other people to paint for me. I am both lazy and bad at it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Surgery~ma to Lucy.
And I also have had problems with nosebleeds, especially in winter. When I started having problems during the summer, I had the spot chemically cauterized. Okay so far, but the real test is coming up.

When we first moved into an apartment several years ago, there was mold under the transfer paper someone had used as wall paper. I turned out to be highly allergic to it, and I developed an aneurysm in my sinus cavity. Nothing like the arterial pulse in the flow to add that special touch to a nose bleed. They had to pack my sinuses to get it to stop.

That hasn't stopped me from considering the ShamWow!
Right?! I'm very attracted to that. (I have an incontinent elderly dog so I'd use it all the time!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's amazing the ShamWow is appealing, since that ad is so irritating. Not to mention the guy shilling with the pointless headset. He can't hear himself? He needs audio prompting?
Still, I want something that wipes up that well. Who's going to take one for the team and buy it? Oh, and someone to try the sonic scrubber would be cool too.

Adding to the Lucy~ma, with a side of not-freaking-out for you, Brenda.
I have nothing to say on the painting front, haven't done my own in a good decade or more, though I agree that the as-seen-on-TV one looks way cool...at least on TV.
