in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.

Soft porn pictures, how about your soft porn posts?
Go climb back in your slime ball life.
I would keep same color. At least in same color family.

Usually it would go on the painted part, but
type so that you can place it however you want. Have fun at the dinner party. 
Has anybody painted their house with
vinyl paint? Did you do it yourself? Is Evercote the brand you used? How is it holding up, and how did cost compare to regular paint?

lets see if this worked....
I had panel painted, turned out really
nice and has been that way for 3 years- never filled in any cracks.
I have painted over almost all the ugly paneling in my house
In fact, just painted my bedroom this week. Didn't use anything to fill in the grooves because they don't bother me as much as the ugly paneling did. But I would use a primer first, especially if it is dark. Good luck! Best thing I ever did!
Haha! I'd have gone out one night and spray-painted
a great big ol' laughing yellow SMILEY-FACE on the pavement at the crash site!
pot of gold
I would quit my job and do as you said you would do. I would build a safe haven for all the critters who need help. I would start up a safe haven for people who need to get a new start with a home with furniture and food and a good job so they can pay for all the above at a reduced rate they could afford. When they were on their own, a new person would come in. I lie in bed at night dreaming of being able to do these two things. I fall asleep having good dreams about it. Why is it that people with no money want to help people and people with millions buy cars and fine get away homes and spend millions on a painting. Think of all the people that money could help. 
We painted ours too - looks great - didn't fill cracks either
We used Kilz first to block any stain that might seep through and then painted over it kind of an off white (called orange peel). I love it - so much brighter and looks good.
Today, if you got a pot of gold, what would be your #1 wish
I really have so much in my life already that my pot of gold would be spent helping out our furry friends, rescuing as many animals as I could and building santuaries where they would be safe and cared for.
I think she is an absolute gold digger...
...with her solid gold shovel. It's unfortunate there was no prenup. Guess they were the only two people who thought it would last.
Medicated Gold Bond........
Gold Bond may do the trick. When my grandmother was bedridden, she kept getting rashes under her breasts and arms. The doctors gave my mother Rx's all the time to try on her but they never worked. I gave her some Gold Bond to use and after a couple of days, she called and said it had dried the rash up and it was barely visible and had started going away. This rash had been there for months! All the prescriptions and this is all it took. Give it a try.
white gold. Lay's or Ruffles?

I have Command Performance Gold from hsn...sm
Not only is it beautiful, but it really works well. It has a mirror finish inside and it cleans up great. I have had mine for several years. I only use certain size pans though, so I finally cleaned out my cabinets and sold the pieces I never use. I got mine during an anniversary sale or something like that and it wasn't very expensive at all. I'm not sure how the pricing of it is now. I did buy a 3-burner portable cooktop with three 3-qt pans recently for $99 that I thought was a steal. I have used that several times and I love it!
That is what drug addicts and gold diggers do, unfortunately :(

Kind of hurts her claim that she is not a gold-digger - sm
When I first heard this I assumed it was $20K a month, which is a bit more reasonable, though still nuts; but $20K a day, what does she do buy gold plates every day and dispose of them? I could do a lot wtih $600,000 a month. I doubt she will get that though, maybe her lawyers figured they'd start with some totally outragous amount so she could end up getting what she attually wants (i.e. $20K a month or $100K, whatever it is). It will probably all end up being sealed in the end so no one will know.
I swear by Gold Bond Hand Cream. or Bag Balm. sm
I keep a tube of the Gold Bond right next to my keyboard. I am ALWAYS putting it on. It has a really light smell. I use Bag Balm at night with a pair of cheap cotton gloves I got at our local mission store. I also use Bag Balm on my heels aned feet both winter and summer as they are so dry they will crack and bleed. I have also heard of something called "Cornhuskers Lotion". I tried it once and it was too thin and runny. Or perhaps the lotion with the fisherman on it. Norwegian something or other.
The medicated Gold Bond is great for damp funky navels and

Soft Paws

Soft Paws (sm)

Wear a soft t-shirt for a while and
leave it in her favorite place to sleep so she will have your scent. Mine love to sleep on my clothes!
soft paws - yes they work :)
Hi,
I moved recently, and we brought my daughter's cat with us. There was no way we could do anything else with him. He is an older cat, and they have grown up together. We moved into a beautiful home, but there was no way I could bring myself to declaw him, especially at his age. It just wasn't an option. So, we researched what we could do for him, and we opted to "try" the Soft Paws. Well, they have been a godsend for us.
Some advice - you do have to clip their nails before putting the paws on, so you need a good clippers and need to be very careful for the vein that runs through the claw. If you are not comfortable trimming their nails, of course you could get it done professionally. The plastic covers slip on and are glued over the clipped nails. You do need to be very careful to get the proper size. They go by weight, and my cat actually needed the large - he didn't meet the weight, but he is a bigger cat, and his feet are just bigger :P. If they are too small, they come off very easily, and I think they are uncomfortable for the cat. Also, they do need to be replaced about every 2 months - they fall off eventually as the nail grows out, and you need to repeat the process. We find that it is worth it though, even with the little nail caps laying around on the floor occasionally! :P
My "furkid" adapted very well to the soft paws... so I would definitely consider them as an option. Hope this helped! :D
Yes, it is soft and scratches easy because...sm
bamboo is not really a wood, it is a grass turned into a *wood* - it scratches easily (kitty litter can scratch it) and so it's *shoes off* in my house. *laughs* I studied woods for 5 years before I made my choice, knowing all about it scratching easy but since my kids are ALL GROWN UP....no problem here. *S*
Our husky is getting soft, he is really good - sm
about coming in when called for the most part (not when he lived with my dad though). But on the cooler nights he tends to drag his feet coming in. Or just give me a look from down where he is lying on the deck ( you know how husky's are) and you know he is thinking I will coming in when I am darned ready to. I then check back in 5 or so minutes and he will come in then, so funny. I usually leave the dogs out until I am going to bed (11-12) and he runs right in and lays down on his dog bed and goes right to sleep. Need to start walking him though, he gained like 10 pounds this last year and he is a big boy as it is (85#-- does not look overweight though which is good, still has a nice waist just a little thicker than it should be) and he only has 3 legs so that is not good for him (2 front, 1 back). Maybe after dinner now that it is starting to cool down, way too hot before with all his fur.
I think sometimes men are not supposed to have a soft side
some think of as not being masculine but he shows me a calming, soothing, softened touch that I could just eat out of his hand. If he could bottle and sell, women would make him rich beyond his wildest. He is from a very large family, 11 in all and get this- none of the guys (around 7 or so), all married and not 1 divorce in the group! I think that speaks volumes- the range of age is from around 60s down to the upper 40s. I accused him of sprinkling gold dust in my eyes because years later still have that same feeling!

Wow! I actually use medium, but not soft. I don't understand sm
how you have cavities due to a hard toothbrush? I mean, cavities are caused by not brushing.
And root issues due to a hard brush? Again, I'm not disputing what you are saying, but enamel and gums are two completely different things.
And 2 minutes is the minimum that you should brush your teeth. The only thing I will retract in my post is the firm brush - medium is good -soft for sensitive teeth.

I have a soft spot for this story. sm
My aunt went through a similar story. She had a highschool sweetheart, but the families couldn't get along. So, Aunt went off to college, met and married. Had 2 boys. HS sweetie went to different college, met and married, had 3 kids.
They met at 30th HS reunion. Both divorced and alone, children grown up. Both lived in different states so decided to write back and forth via email. After a couple years, they moved closer to one another and started dating. A year later they were married.
They were very happy together and planned their retirement time to spend traveling the country in their RV. They got 5 happy years together, including 1 year of retirement. Aunt got very ill and died suddenly.
Moral of story: Life is shorter than you think. Do the best you can with what you have.
Hmm, hard water versus soft
Well might have thought about that but this was noticed as soon as the tile installed and has never been mopped so nothing like that. Heavens only knows where these little spots came from but definitely not water route.
My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Coffee ice cream or soft serve vanilla
or chocolate case with fudge icing or butter cake with chocolate frosting or ... how many - just ONE?
yes I do, i like soft music, might even have on a CD of Frank Sinatra. Very calming. nm

I'd cook the rice first to make sure it's soft and edible

Soft high-quality black & red licorice bites.
Oh my gosh I found this kind that the store Target sells that are made in Australia, and they are just the best pieces of confection I have ever put in my pie hole.
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
I just went on line and found ultra soft brushes from Oral-B and
a few others. I hope this helps someone. The pack of 6 was $18.99, I believe.
Roast up onions & peppers for fajitas. Make roll-ups out of them with soft
s
Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
55 for cut only, 85 with color, and

Oh my!! I pay $55.00 for cut and color and
5 years to the same hairstylist. I can't imagine paying $60.00 for a haircut alone.

Hi, sorry about your hair. Try this first: Shampoo your hair with a fairly stripping shampoo (Prell is best, but who knows where you can buy it these days, so opt for that other green shampoo called Pert. Shampoo in and let it stay on for about five minutes and then rinse. Your hair should be much lighter. In a long-ago time before I did this I was a hairdresser and a colorist. Your best bet if that does not do the trick is find out who to go to in your area who does good corrective work. There is a professional product out now that really works and does not strip or damage hair. It can even remove black. You need a good colorist to apply this. Afterward you can have them reapply a color that works with your skin color. The best way to find someone is to look around wherever you go. When you see a really beautiful color that looks natural ask who their colorist is and try to get an appointment. One thing to add, I have had mine done recently (color removal) and it came out beautifully, but it was over $300.00. It was a small price to pay for me because I had colored my hair Sharon Osborne red and my natural color is blonde. It looked good on Sharon, but on me was a total disaster! Good luck and remember to stay away from "temporary" color products from over-the-counter, read all labels carefully, and stay away from metals in the list of ingredients. If you get it straightened out it is not too costly to go in and have your hair done by a colorist every 3-4 weeks as touch-ups are fairly cheap.
Just went and got a cut and color for $35.00
Haircuts alone are $18.00. I used to go to an upscale salon near where I worked and spent about $75 for cut and color. I find that I lik the job the new salon does for half the price.
$40, color and cut and IN MY HOME YET.....
However, if you get in your car and drive to any salon here in nicer S. Florida neighborhoods - you'll pay through the teeth.
Of course I tip her above the $40 she charges me for the cut and color....*S*
