For the third time this week Oz has pissed on something of mine. This time it was a sneaker that was only about a month old. I caught him in the act, and the shoe is salvageable, but man, this fucking cat! I yelled at him and chased him down the basement, where he's going to stay until I calm down...maybe by Christmas.

Does anyone have experience with wood burning or faux wood burning? I'm going to make Christmas tree ornaments out of wood cross section (tree cookies) and I want to embellish them. I read one diy that was rubbing wet inkjet printouts to transfer the ink. Didn't work. Spent $35 on a wood burning tool and tested it on chamaecyparis wood, achieved bending the tip of the tool but no burning. The burner came with a "transfer" attachment for ink printouts that ice yet to try.

Are certain woods better for certain processes? Do I need softer woods? What was using had been stored in a barn for about four months, and had been dead before that, so it was quite dry/cured. It's also very hard and rot resistant.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated!

Yeah, but these are indicating that it's going to skew a much younger demographic that likes partying.

Oh yeah, when you can tell what they're getting at.... "Best building ever! So many parties!! 5 stars"

I feel I have to confess that I just roasted cauliflower for the first time, and I wasn't that into it. I think part of my problem is I love raw veg so much, it's not like all of a sudden I like stuff roasted. It was fine!

Tommy, I've had fillings fall out before, but not like that! WTF? Hate viruses, too.

All right, I've placed a hold on a unit at Park West: [link]

Cons: there's no closet space in the bathroom or the bedroom, they're still renovating the building, and the apartment was really warm went we went in to view it (no A/C). Pros: the kitchen is really nice with plenty of storage, the living room is spacious, there's an in-unit W/D, and it's the top floor so nobody will be above me making a racket. I also qualify for their $99 deposit & free accent wall special.

Assuming my application goes through and I don't magically find anything better, this probably is it. I guess. Maybe. Whatever, I'm going out to buy alcohol now.

Congrats! At least that's a thing you can check off.

"free accent wall special"? Like, they'll put an extra wall in your apartment, just for decoration?

Sweet! Those cons do not sound terrible and that is a sweet-ass kitchen.

I think I just cracked a tooth. Shit. Guess I should figure out my dental insurance.

Congrats shrift.
