My FIL has recently gotten into posting political stuff to FB. His views happen to coincide with mine, but probably not with many of the other people he knows (he grew up and still lives in Oklahoma, IIRC the only state where not a single county went for Obama in 2008). It sort of makes me cringe, because a lot of the things he's posting are incendiary or dubiously sourced (or both), plus half of them are reposted from pages with names like "We love to irritate nasty hateful Republicans." I mean, dude must know a LOT more Republicans than I do! I guess he just doesn't care that he's probably pissing them off, or else he's gotten to a point where most people just ignore him.

Closet world is still here. Custom my ass. It's custom as long as it fits in their product line.

The thing that is causing the big wrench, is they either use existing doors (got rid of because they were 96" x 7' of mirrors. I hate mirrors), or, they put in sliding doors of mirrors. @@ NO!

So, I'm picking through their catalog and saying, "see, over here in the pantry section, you have these inlaid doors, with hinges" I would rather a couple hinged doors, then tracked crap. "Oh, everything is custom" and "we can't do that" does not work for me. The second negates the first. So, she is on the phone with the office coming up with possible solutions. Also, the 96" of sliding panels costs MORE than the interior stuff. Which I think is crazy.

I will keep y'all posted as updates happen. We shall see what the phone call produces.

Wheeeee!

That's a variant of Canadian I'm not familiar with.

Well, none of my surviving Aunts and Uncles are on FB, my cousins who I friend on FB either don't care about politics (esp. US politics) or don't talk about it, my parents' Canadian friends are all extreme leftists, and Dad's cousin is a former NDP MP who mostly talks about environmental and health issues.

So there's really nothing for them to argue about.

Hey! I have a Canadian Echo Chamber.

(And my most conservative close relatives spent 2004 trying to figure out from me why the hell anyone would vote for GWB again.)

I would like to know this too. Please impart knowledge.

much like algebra, even years to think about it hasn't helped.

ION - I am HAGGLING like a MoFo with the poor gal from Closet World. She has priced out a 94" closet to $1700. I told her I priced out an Ikea option for $500-600. I figured twice as much for custom. I told her if she can get it to $1200, it's a deal. After that, I really don't know. She is on the phone with corprate.

damn, you haggle like a BOSS.

Sometimes I do. This time I am. I told her that my mortgage is $700/mo, you are asking for more than a mortgage payment.

With a AAA discount, they are bringing it down to $1550. Told them I will have to sleep on it.

Got it for $1275!

Got it for $1275!

Nice!
