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.

I didn't say her decor didn't sound great.
It's not ridiculous.
I would seriously doubt the Christianity of anyone who feels it is okay to celebrate Halloween. It is anti-God in every aspect.
You can only service 1 God and the folly of man and carnality is in direct conflict with holiness.
didn't he do that character well? A great performance indeed! NM

I filled in the cracks
I filled in the cracks with sheet rock filler/mud, then put a primer on to make it look texturized and then paint over that. Of course it was my bedroom and I wanted it to look texturized walls. It looked great. But am now taking it down and sheet rocking the walls so it is done right and better insulated. But you will save yourself time if you buy a decent primer before you put on your color paint. Good luck
Sorry if this has been played before, but it just cracks me up!

That is so cute! My niece's little girl cracks me up, too. She
just painted a picture for me that she has been working on for quite some time. I went over on Saturday night and she had me close my eyes for the unveiling. It is adorable. She made a yellow background because she knows it is my favorite color. They are so precious, aren't they?
Smoke 'sickers' through the AC, the cracks, up the pipes...
she can smell it in her apartment! It affects her also, second-hand smoke and it 'stinks!'
But:
This LL does not have a no-smoking policy.
Did you move in knowing this?
Then you cannot do anything.
You accepted the apartment 'as is.'
You can only hope that the smoking lady moves out or you move out.
I love what my kids say occasionally... "Get a room!' Cracks me up.

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.
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
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.
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!
I did not see, fill me in. nm

$65 to fill up my gas tank
Granted I was completely on EMPTY, but $65??
It was $3.08 per gallon at the WAWA, it was $3.12 at the local Shell station. This is the cheap stuff BTW!
How much are you paying for gas in your neck of the woods?
I have had my fill today and I can be as
ticked off as I like. If someone gave me millions and I mean this, I would never want to visit India or anywhere that the language sounded anywhere near that. It basically hurts my ears to listen to this all day long. When you cut into my money, very thing I can get irritated about. I even had a NP who was an ESL herself dictating for a physician today and heck that was no better. I have done this work over 30 years and it only gets worse, not to mention the drop in pay. Frankly my dear, I don’t care to be enlightened.
haven't heard......fill me in...

Misha, please fill me in on the hypermobile
arches, first I have heard of this. I used to go barefoot all the time and thought at first this might have been where this came from, do not do that anymore. The current is exactly in the arch so tell me more, if you know. Thanks
Don't forget to fill out FAFSA
Web site:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
The info you fill out is used by the school, your state, and the US government to award financial aid in the form of grants, gov't loans (which would be in your daughter's name), and scholarships.
Filling out the FAFSA is how I'm spending my day today, once I stop procrastinating. It's a PITA but worth it.
Good Luck!
SUV owner........last complete fill up was

In our town, the Chinese restaurant has a painted sign on window: Hot Wing sold here. nm

There's a special coating you need to use first to fill in the grooves. Don't

Buy one of those bathtubs and fill them up with bath toys sm
and baby towels, washcloths, Johnson & Johnson stuff, etc.
Or buy one of those dishwashwer tubs that fit into the dishwasher that holds nipples, pacifiers, etc and wrap that up in a baby bath towel with a big bow on it.
Get a basket and fill it up with onesies, socks, kits that include medicines, etc.
I love going to baby showers and creating unique gifts!
oh yeah, and free glasses with fill-up's
Our cupboards were full of glasses earned for fill-ups! i had forgot about that :)
I paid $65 to fill mine yesterday, too. And it wasn't - sm
empty, it was 3/4 full! I paid $3.81/gallon. :(
I wish I hadn't promised my mom I'd come to Thanksgiving dinner (in Los Angeles)... I'll be paying off that trip on my gasoline credit card 'til well after New Year's.
I wish I'd taken 2 weeks off work so I could RIDE MY BIKE down there, instead.........
Put all the food in a cooler, fill freezer with pots of hot water, & bath

Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

Thanks - I didn't realize they didn't like the smell of citrus
I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

I didn't phrase that well. I didn't mean to SM
offend. I think I said that to other lady below!
I wouldn't want to be told that myself. I guess you sounded down. Again, if I offended anyone, I'm sorry.
I'm a channel surfer. Last night watched PBS documentary on Kennedy assasination, then PBS show on Dick Cheney. Yuck. Then watched show on stem cell research to cure paralysis. There were two young woman, both with paralysis, who were so inspiring. Watched another segment on Current about blind people using their voices to "see". That had to be seen to be believed. Anyway, positives offset the negative.
Again, sorry if I said anything out of line.
What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,
and that you tried everything, now try the 'hunger diet'.
I didn't say she should sue them. I said that
her sister legally is obligated to pay for it. Me, I would have probably told her I was unhappy with her, learned my lesson and would have moved on.
If I was the sister though, I would have admitted my fault, at least partial fault, and made amends.
Yep, I didn't know that either. Thanks. :) NM

I really didn't know all of this.
thanks
She didn't come with us.

It must be because I didn't owe very much
I had my husband take extra out of his check every year and most of the time it's enough to cover mine too. Last year I owed under $100 as I made more than I planned. I am an IC and use my SS#. I don't remember how much you have to owe for the fine/quarterly taxes either, like Patti stated.
well thank you! I didn't know being in --sm
the 50 year age bracket was young, but I appreciate the comment! Maybe in 20 years I will be able to retire.
I can't believe the mom didn't take him to the ER...
Wow.
No, I didn't know that...but (sm)
I don't have Soapnet...so! But thanks for the update...
Do you know for SURE he didn't
make an effort to see you all these years?
My friend of 30+ was told by HER mother that her father was dead. Come to find out when she is her 20's he's not only alive and well, he's happy to meet her.
It's always a good thing to take what ANYone tells you with a large grain of salt.
As to how to approach him? I would find out where he works and send a letter there - that way it can't be intercepted by his wife. Alternatively, you could call him on the phone, but that option does not allow him time to absorb the news he's been "found" by you.
Provide all your contact information and ask him to at least meet/talk to you once. I would be very surprised if he does not grant your request.
I didn't know that!

no, I didn't mean all that *lol* - but your one
you said: Why don't we all learn Mandarin?
-----------------
you don't know HOW astute a statement/question that is!!! We all will have to know Chinese/Mandarin within the next 25 years or thereabouts....as China slowly takes it ALL over.....the world, that is...don't laugh or think I'm talking out of left field.... - Miami and Broward now offer Chinese and Mandarin classes in college.........the past few years....and then there are those subliminal fortune cookies...teaching us the Chinese or Cantonese alphabet......*ROFL*....but I'[m not really laughing.........
My Hispanic friends in Miami are speaking better English year by year, the longer they are here.....I stay out of the areas where they ONLY speak Spanish.....I'd be lost, as I only speak Spanglish.......Franglish, et al.
Yes, while in foreign countries, we speak their language and they all should be speaking English here but we cannot force it, unfortunately....hence, I learned some Spanish over the past decade and utilize it with English; hence=Spanglish.......*laughs* I think folks need to lighten up about language - we are all the same - we really are - just the amount of melanin in our skin or the slant of our eyes.....we all believe in the same G_d I do believe no matter what the name for G_d is......we all hurt, bleed, and die....it's all RED BLOOD....*grins*
Again, Tolerance........
HAPPY JULY 4TH :)
Of course, and I didn't even say that...
Just saying that not loving animals does not make one a bad person, simply put. I do not agree with the abuse of any living thing...animal or person, but people sure are more passionate about animal abuse than they are about child abuse...can I get an amen???
Can you believe I didn't get to see it!!
Work was backed up so I was doing extra, darn it! I bet it was a great show though. I hate these insurance companies refusing to pay for procedures, especially when someone's life depends on it. What mess. Something has to change, for sure.
I'm not the OP. Just didn't want to see...sm
The thread get out of hand is all. And I see that it hasn't.
Yes you can say what you think, it just sounded to me like you were getting ready to *pounce.* LOL
BTW, it isn't statuatory rape at 16 if they're both 16, so there would be no legal course for you to follow. You'd just have to try to keep them apart I guess. And good luck with that! Ahh, young love...
Ha, really! We didn't
get any T-shirts or anything, but I told my kids they could go to school on Tuesday (out tomorrow) and tell all their friends they went to the fair and got to see Hannah Montana's dad in concert! I've been looking for a good video or clip whee it shows how he used to do Achy Breaky Heart back when my husband and I used to go to his concerts (my choice of course), but all I can find is the original video, which doesn't really show a lot of the way he danced around! My kids are only 6 and 8, so it was really something big for them!
wow - didn't know there were that many of us
born and raised in WV - moved the other direction from you - KY - GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't say that did I?(nm)
