Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Vibing hard for Scrappy's DH.
And for sumi's toe. It might sound like a silly thing, sumi, but those are very painful!!
Someone please tell me to stop poking around Amish furniture store websites? All of the sudden, I have to urge to go to Shipshewana and do some shopping for dining room furniture--I'm getting very tired of my old, donated-to-me-20-years-ago dinette set, and want to splurge on some top quality stuff I can't afford.
I adore rain, but it needs to be at least 15 degrees warmer to make this weather bliss.
Cold rain=sad. Warm rain=Springtime.
Poor Mr. Scrappy!
Health~ma for Mr. Scrappy.
Health~ma to Mr. Scrappy. Yeouch.
I must stop looking at furniture! But, I've figured out that this might be the best way to get ideas for Dad to make me things. I really like this style bookshelf/storage/tchotchke display thing (doesn't hurt that it's named after my hometown), and might be able to get Dad to make me one someday. (Edited to fix link!)
Poor Mr. Scrappy. I was hoping coumadin wouldn't show its ugly side to him.
Good news for New Yorkers in case of Rapture:
Mayor Bloomberg, his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, took to the airwaves Friday morning and addressed the highly publicized prophecy that the End of Times will begin Saturday.
"I can just tell you that official policy from the Sanitation Department and the Department of Transportation," Bloomberg said. "If the world ends tomorrow, alternate side parking will be suspended."
All health for Scrappy's DH!
sumi, I have a chronic-recurring problem with an ingrown. I know your pain. I'm begging my podiatrist to just completely remove the nail, bed and all, this time. Coming up pretty quick now. It's such a small thing, but it affects everything. Fast and good healing to you.
Kathy, craigslist. Seriously. I've seen so much fabulous dining furniture--top quality stuff sold for moving, or divorce, or I'm-just-tired-of-it reasons. We got our Jetsons Danish modern table and chairs off craigslist for a song. And nearly bought a federal-style set in solid cherry, with dresser and hutch, for just a bit more--nearly 50 years old and in like-new condition. The table had its original felt pad, the leaves in their own felted sacks. That set was really the better deal, but we liked the mood of the Danish set better.
I prefer things to have some patina, some history, new case pieces make me itch--tables, bookcases, dressers. I really recommend thrift, second-hand, scratch and dent stores, freecycle and craigslist as first resources.
