I appreciate the wishes for my safety, but cuts and bruises and splinters are pretty much unavoidable. I am going to wear my gloves more, but there are times where they are more of a hazard or just eff up fine motor control too much.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Dear coworkers; jamming old large dimension lumber through the table saw will frak up the blade and trip the breaker repeatedly. I've discussed this with one of you before. Haste makes waste, yo.
Signed, not the brute squad

Anyone have thoughts on big ceramic tiles?
1. Almost all tile is slippery when wet, and larger tiles are more slippery.
2. Everything you drop will break.
3. Grout gets stained.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The kitchen in my old apartment had ceramic tiles, and I hated it. The floor had no give at all, so standing on it for more than a few minutes would always make my back ache. Also, anything that I dropped would break. I ended up getting some of those interlocking foam squares that they sell for baby rooms, and it was so much better. (Most of the interlocking foam squares are in bright primary colors, with letter or number cutouts. I searched for a little while, and found a set in pink and brown, where the cutouts were just circles.)

As you may have gathered, omnis, Hil and I would be more likely to tell you to take out the tile you have than to add more.
eta: And I notice you have tile counter tops, too. All your dishes are in danger.
I'm not a big fan of the accent wall, but the poor fireplace is lost. That corner really needs a contrasting color.

(okay that made me laugh). I just pictured dishes screaming.

The status is NOT quo.
Omnis, what they said about the slippery tiles. Remember that concussion I got a couple of months back? Yeah, big ol' tiles, and not all that much moisture. Laminate wood is much less slippery, fwiw.

As well they should.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Linoleum! Or as it's called now, "marmoleum".

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Cash, so much anti-cancer~ma for your momma.
I love the look of big tile, but it is dangerous as hell.
