It depends on what kind of adhesive was used, too. I've taken down wallpaper a bunch of times, and sometimes I could just grab a corner and peel off each strip in a few seconds, and other times there was a lot of steaming and scraping. (And one time, I discovered that the wallpaper was the only thing holding the wall together, as I pulled off a piece of paper and a shower of crumbled drywall came down.)
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I've gotten recs for both the steamer and the fabric softener, and am a little afraid of the steamer, because of all the wood. Maybe I'll say I'll try doing one room and see how it goes. (my mother is totally willing to hire someone, but I just feel like I can do unskilled labor myself!)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
So I am watching the live stream out of Miami of Diana Nyad finishing her swim. It is very confused and I don't even know how far out she is, except pretty close.
Laura,
The last hourly news update on NPR says she's within sight of the Florida shore. The captain of her support ship is amazed that it looks like it will happen this time.

I was watching it, too, and amused by the small dog on a surfboard. Everyone wants to cheer her on!

Our wings are not tired.
The Miami feed crashed so I switched to CNN.

I'm watching on CNN, too. Is the small wave to the right of center Nyad?

There seem to be a lot of people leaving the beach. Is it over?
