what about the kids who paint house numbers on curbs? nm

Kilz primer will let you paint over it, but wear mask. Good idea to paint it.

huh? switching went out in the 1950s!!!
OMG!!!
not just women - black men were used in 1950s-60s..
in the 1950s or 1960s a large number of black men were used to test syphilis and associated drugs.........they gave them syphilis.........or some such thing - you can Google this and I think it happened in the deep south....(but of course in the 50s, early 60s, wouldn't have happened in NY for example)....and maybe some of you readers may know what I'm trying to convey, the story......so it's not *just* women...but it is disgusting no matter WHO it is..........and no, I wouldn't subject my potential future granddaughters with this - I'd send 'em to private school if that's the case.
I would say that none of these numbers would be
something to "get alarmed" about. The higher numbers could possibly cause problems over a period of time and I would have my doctor check anything that is higher than normal (120/80), though.
Do these numbers seem low to you?
My fasting sugar this morning was 72, which I know is kind of borderline, but the others don't seem low enough to make me feel as icky as I have been.
What's the last two numbers of your SSN?
They're sending them out that way. Mine is due on Friday. I've had a lot of friends get theirs. I guess we have to be patient.
800 numbers
Try googling the number. I have had 800 numbers calling me. Usually there will be something in Google about that numnber. (Other people complain about this to and it will show up in google.
Very aggravating!!!
Yeah, when I use numbers, I never do that...
but I do put a lot of times:
MEDICATIONS
Include Zocor, Ambien, etc...
If I have to list with numbers though, I drop the "include." That is just common sense to me.
If her numbers are fine
I would not worry. If the drugs are toxic and make her feel worse, then it really is about the quality of her life. Take care.
DD used to not like uneven numbers sm
we even got to the point that when we changed the volume on the car radio it had to be on an even number. (some cars don't have this feature). Then she realized her b-day was 1-7-93 (all odd) and she will graduate in 2011.She has a black cat and that never crossed her mind.
I personally don't walk under ladders (why would I?)and I do knock wood but that is more habit than superstition.
Now, do you want to talk phobias? I could go on for hours!
No, talking about when they are listed with numbers.
But I don't like this:
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
*Is* significant for hypertension....
LOL
I disagree. Women have gotten killed by not moving or changing their phone numbers.

Paint it!
I've encountered both real-wood paneling and cheap'o pressed (remanufactured?) paneling and several in between. I absolutely hate paneling!
If it is real wood or at all pourous you could scrub with Murphy's oil soap or something similar.
I've always opted to paint it. You'll most definitely need to invest in a decent primer and use a decent quality paint as well. If you try to just paint it (even with good quality paint) you'll end up having to put a half-dozen coats on and that is a lot of work!
There is also a thick, stiff paper covering that you can put on it, it goes on like wallpaper and then paint over that, or leave plain if you'd prefer. That can turn into a pretty expensive route because that covering is pretty expensive when you get the thick kind that will cover the cracks in the paneling and not let them show through. That stuff comes in different thicknesses for various uses, so you would need to be sure to get the thick one that will smooth over the cracks, it usually tells in the "used for" section if it works for covering paneling. If you don't mind seeing the cracks, then I'd say PAINT IT!
Good luck.
I am not sure there is a *paint* for --sm
painting china, as most of these items are glazed and fired in a kiln. Paint would wash off in a dishwasher, etc. Perhaps go to a ceramic shop and have one glazed for you in a pattern you choose. This is just a thought. good luck to you.
paint
Some people do pain the ceilings the same color but i think most just leave it white. I personally would leave it white. Don't overdo the green, i think you would be sorry.

How come that she spilled this paint on the floor?
Was there no cover on the can?
The mother of the girl is not responsible for what happens in your house.
Also not that she dragged all the paint into your house.
If you have children as guests in your house, you are responsible for what happens and you have to supervise them.
Where were you? Where were you wandering around?
If something happened to the child, it could have been your responsibility.
You should have secured this can of paint before the children arrive.

And what do you mean by 'disrespectful'?
You should have been downstairs.
paint colors..
Go to sites like Lowes.com click project center, interactive disign tools and try Armstrong design-a-room or olympic paint color guide. These will give good tips as well as let you select colors and see them on walls and ceiling to see what they look like.
I recently remodeled. Hubby's childhood home. He had never seen anything but white wall anywhere. I love to cook so afterwards we looked back and paint names were sage, olive, thyme, ginger peach, merlot, moonshine.
They have a paint calculator there as well to make sure you don't over buy, but we did buy extra for later touch ups or "oopses" that happen.
Most stores now have a computer that you can take your pillow sham or comforter in and they can scan the color content and either mix the almost exact color you want or tell you which ones they have in stock that match.
Some recommend mixing paint with your white to match a little closer for ceiling. My ceilings were all ultrawhite. I loved the crisp white feeling. Hubby said looked like crayola box exploded. I figured okay so what if it made it look a little smaller? The room is the same size. (mainly for selling factors). I said if I paint it where it looks big and still stump my toe on furniture what difference does it make, it is still the same size room! But I was happy with my choices.
Congrats! If you want some paint fun
go to the various paint companies websites (I like Behr) and fool around with their virtual rooms and color combos. They also have good tips for the how-to of it. Enjoy your new digs!
From the picture you paint, it is SM
hopeless. No man wants to get divorced. This may sound funny, but they don't. Even if they hate the woman they are married to. I should know. I was a perfect housekeeper, but everything you said in your note applied to me. May have been married to the same man!
If you have been to counseling four times, I would say you gave it your best shot.
However, how old are your children? It is very hard raising kids alone. Can you stay there until they are older? High school? I was a long suffering woman, until my daughter graduated from high school. I am much older and we were taught to stay for the sake of the children.
Believe me, I know it is not easy to leave; but it does get a LOT easier once the children are grown.
You have a lot to think about and my heart goes out to you, because I was once where you are.
Paint chips as a child
No - did you - you're an MT aren't you - that equates to insanity the way I see it.
I gave away tons of paint that I
no longer wanted, someone asking for and told them take all or nothing. They did and it helped me clean out my garage. I saw a trailer someone was giving away -the kind some folks live in. I have been trying to get my hubs to get some free mulch- they have that all the time.
and I could paint with my feet if I had no arms
the question is if I had a choice, I think I would choose to have arms.
Any tips on getting paint out of carpet? sm
My daughter had a party tonight with probably 10 kids here. One of the girls spilled a can of paint in the garage they were using for their "haunted house" and stepped all in it. Rather than staying outside until she got the paint off with the water hose, she tracked it all into my house! I am furious! Of course, she wasn't wearing her shoes. She was playing and put my 16-yo's shoes on. I highly doubt she would go tracking through her home with paint on the bottom of her feet and she even came upstairs laughing saying I stepped in that paint that we spilled. I said then what are you doing tracking it all through my house, get in the bathroom and wash it off! She is 12 years old and should know better. Kids these days are so disrespectful.........Any tried and true tips for getting paint out of carpet? Should I say something to her parents? This is the same child I almost sent home earlier today because she slapped my 9-yo son and I did call her mom about that and informed her of what happened and if I had any more incidences out of her she was going home. Hitting is not allowed in my house period! Geez, can I say this child will not be a vistor at my house anymore! 
give them a paint brush.

I want to learn to paint gourds. sm
Can anyone recommend some good books to buy? I did find some but would really like to know which ones to buy first. They all looked great.
You absolutely can paint paneling, no problem
at all. I wiped down the walls with some cleanser type material as the person living there previously had cooked and the walls sorta greasy. I used absolutely nothing but the paint - nothing else needed. The walls were very dark brown and I used indoor off white to brighten up. We use for a woodsy get away from the big city......
If the color is very light, paint ceiling with it, too.
Usually enough light reflects up so it appears the ceiling is white, anyway. Only with dark colors will it seem cave-like. I've done it with a celery color and it was bright and cheery.
If you have lots of trim and paint it a crisp white, then I'd paint the ceiling white too. That would look sharp.
Go to hgtv.com. They always strip and paint cabinets on

Don't buy them on eBay. sm
You can make a poodle skirt from felt. You will have to approximate your daughter's waist measurements, but a poodle skirt is basically a full circle with a zipper and a waistband. Since you make it from felt, you don't need to do a hem or anything like that. If you buy 72" felt, no seams at all are needed.
Then use the same pattern to make the petticoats. Get really stiff nylon netting and make a drawstring waistband. Make it maybe a couple of inches shorter than the skirt and presto...instant poodle skirt. Then you make a poodle out of white or whatever color you want and some fancy braid and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.
Yep, he plays basketball, paint ball, and wrestles.
I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!
You'll pretty much have to paint and steam clean
My grandmother smokes inside, and when we repainted the inside of her house and cleaned her carpets (steam cleaned them twice!) you couldn't smell it anymore. That is, until she started smoking inside again!
Ebay Question
I need some opinions here. I won something on Sunday and paid immediately thru PayPal as the auction stated. I posted a comment to please let me know when the item shipped because I wanted to make sure I was home. I didn't hear back yesterday, so I emailed the person directly. I STILL haven't heard back. When do you think I should contact ebay and find out whats' up, or should I try and contact her one more time? My credit card has been charged already and I hate it that there is no communication.
My ebay experience
I supported myself on ebay while going to school for MT. It was great back then (2001). I have a few things on ebay now and hardly anyone looks. (handmade jewelry, stocking stuffers for kids, just small stuff). Much different than it used to be. I think it's too big.
Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
I purchase a lot on Ebay and always get sm
as described. In fact, I negotiated with a seller last Thursday for a pair of headphones for my son and got them today. Of course, I will probably have a not so good experience in the future, but chin up, most sellers are honest and reliable.
I did check ebay......SM
several times; i keep hoping i'll find them, that someone will decide to sell what they have. i think it actually is a new pattern that just came out this year, so whoever has them may not decide to get rid of them this soon, but i'm going to keep checking! i am also going to check out their website. thanks very much!
Did you check eBay?
That's the first place I check when I'm looking for something like that. I also just did a quick search on Amazon and they have American Girl things, too.
ebay problem...sm
I bought a Tabers Medical Dictionary the newest edition for $20 plus shipping on ebay. I paid for it over a week ago. I haven't gotten it yet. I have emailed the seller and I have gotten his phone # from ebay. He does not reply to emails and I can't reach him on the phone. What the heck should I do? I want my dictionary.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
I went on ebay and it directed me to ...sm
paypal resolution center. I had to give transaction ID and a statement of what happened. The seller has 10 days to respond and if not then I can file a paypal claim and they will review and possibly take the money out his account and return it. I have tried to email this seller repeatedly. I have even gotten a phone # from ebay to contact him. I left a message with my phone # on anwering machine. I have heard no response back.
eBay rules....sm
state that sellers have up to 30 days to ship items once they're paid for.... just as buyers have up to 30 days to pay UNLESS it's posted otherwise in the original listing. My guess is that with the holidays the seller has gone away for a few days. Furthermore eBay/PayPal won't open an investigation until it's been 30 days past the day of the sale.

I go on ebay sprees every now and then - sm
usually odd stuff, some designer silk stuff now and then, goals for me to reach if I ever lose the weight I need to. I tend to shop when I get stressed, down, etc, but try hard not to as it has gotten me in trouble in the past. Just bought one of those Thane steam mops on line, only $40 (that is total with shipping)---used, but hey a lot better than the $99 they go for new. Been wanting one for a while but DH would kill me if I spent $100 on one, so went this route, he will be PO'd enough about $40 but happy if the floors get cleaned on a more regular basis of course.
